What tools in addition to the OSEE demo download is needed to run as
much as possible of the functionality of the demo?

We found out that Vue is needed to edit the work flows, what other tools
should be installed?

Regards
Lars

As a follow-up to myself:

Is there some specific version of Word that must be used?

VUE is one of the last remaining external dependencies. For those that
aren't familiar, VUE (http://vue.uit.tufts.edu/) is a diagramming tool
that OSEE ATS uses to define it's workflows. Simply put, you can create
a simple state diagram using the editor and embed the XML necessary to
render the widgets for each state in the workflow. OSEE stores this
file as XML and reads it to dynamically create and walk the users/teams
through their process/workflow.

The plan has been to replace this with an integrated GEF editor as
soon as possible. This would be a great are for collaboration for
whomever might be interested.

First, Microsoft Word(c) is not required to use OSEE.

However, the demo has it's requirements stored as WordML and thus, the
preview and edit require Word. We are currently using Word 2003.
