Content Management for Word documents

[lisava -at- psitek -dot- com]

Hi All,

I am in the midst of a battle for conversion over to XML from Corel Draw -
yes, yes I know what on earth was the person thinking when they created
documentation in Corel Draw.

Never the less, I am now saddled with the mammoth task of moving those
documents over - about 7 products worth of user manuals, help files,
brochures and other technical docs.

I have an up and coming French translation which I need to do asap. 
However, the conversion of Corel Draw to XML is a task that is too time
consuming to do now.  As a temporary measure, I want to take the document
and create an MS word document and then at a later date move over to XML.

I am concerned about being able to track changes and versioning while my
documents are in MS Word and need some advice - if anyone knows of a
product that is a content management system for MS word documents?
