Not that I see the purpose of using Word in the frist place. Any decent editor has enough macro power to do the same.

You missed the point. You markup and style your document using Word stylesheets, and then XML is a matter of search and replace. A hold load better than a lame text-editor. If Word hadn't got such a stupid macro installation technology (templates have never been promoted properly by Micor$oft) this would be routine stuff. It would probably be a pain to automatically markup tables, and handling image properties is something I haven't investigated, but as a 50% solution it works for me. As for TOCs and bibliographies, use Context. btw exactly the same technique works for generating LaTeX commands. Context is just so much more elegant. Christopher
