The author creates source content using Microsoft Word, Excel and Visio.  No special skills are required, all you need to do is add some bookmarks with special prefixes to integrate Visio and Excel content into your publication.  There is no copy-and-paste, the Word document contains only text with bookmarks.  Images are included the same way - no images in your Word document.

Once the source documents are correctly formatted, they are uploaded to the Fwpx Web Server, which parses each of these and compiles a Flwpx Publication.
