I wrote about using the DocBook > HTML > Word technique. One of the limitations of that route is that the paragraphs in Word are not tagged with paragraph styles. The content is formatted perfectly because Word imports the CSS that is applied to the HTML, however it's all done by Word with formatting overrides of "normal" or some other stock paragraph style. Does your solution solve this problem? Do the resulting Word documents use paragraph styles consistently? For example, using my technique the contents of a DocBook <entry> element in a table heading row are mapped to an HTML <th> element. Word picks this up and applies any CSS I specify but tags the content of the heading row with "Normal + Arial, Bold, Centered." If I were setting up a Word template, I'd create a paragraph style "TableHeading" and use it here. I wish I could convince Word to tag content with paragraph styles based on something useful. The class names that reflect the original DocBook elements would be nice. Peter Desjardins
