Any objections? > Duane Nickull wrote: > Docbook? Actually all I was thinking is to save the document as HTML. This is a cheap and mindless act. The current spec source in in Word. It has several problems due to limitations in Word for large documents. Longer term I would like to move away from Word. I was thinking of Open Office which is the basis for the Open Office Format TC: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office Important criterea for choice of formats are: -Open format (ideally XML) -WYSIWYG Editors that are useable and reliable -Ideally freely available software Open Office meets each of the above requirements. Software is freely available from: http://www.openoffice.org Also since it can open Word formats migration from Word to Open Office would be relatively painless. What do people (and specialy Sally) think? -- Farrukh
