Microsoft Vizact 2000 is a discontinued program that allowed creation of interactive documents using HTML+TIME, adding effects such as animation. It allowed users to create dynamic documents for the Web. It was preceded by Liquid Motion. Vizact 2000 was "the first document activation application" according to Microsoft.[1] Development of Vizact 2000 was ended due to unpopularity and was discontinued on April 1, 2000.
"Vizact helps solve this problem by giving Office users the ability to create documents that harness the dynamic nature of the Web, without having to be Web authors or programmers." Karl Jacob, product unit manager of Microsoft's Document Activation Group.
