Abstract :
The paper discusses the interface needs for the emergence of new authoring tools for the creation of multimedia documents. We think that it is possible to break down the specify-and-run process of most existing tools to have more direct editing functions close to a “wysiwyg” approach. After identifying the requirements of direct editing for multimedia documents, we describe an authoring environment based on a set of synchronized views and we illustrate its usefulness through many authoring situations
