Re: [docbook-apps] Docbook XML to Word(ML)?

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

There is a set of XSL stylesheets that Steve Ball wrote to convert DocBook
to WordML and back in the DocBook's SourceForge project CVS tree (under
xsl/wordml).  It handles a useful subset of DocBook tags, and might make a
good start for your project if you want to pursue the XSLT route.
