April 28, 2008, North Andover, MA, USA – Aries Systems Corporation is pleased to announce the activation of Editorial Manager support for Microsoft Office 2007. This means that “docx” and other Office 2007 file formats are reliably converted to PDF during manuscript submission. Publishers that do not wish to process Office 2007 files can continue to exclude them through a configuration option, in which case an appropriate warning message is displayed to authors.

“Author service is key, so we are delighted that journals using Editorial Manager can accommodate the growing community of authors using Office 2007,” said Richard Wynne, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Aries.

Journals with questions concerning support for Office 2007 should contact their publisher or Aries Systems account coordinator.
