We're still looking at CMSes. I'm currently at the stage where I'm trying to categorize all of the different forms of content we will be wanting to publish. This particular type of content has the monkey wrench of actually needing to have some sort of consistent physical representation. Right now, it's a word document, which, while consistent, has its problems. There will be a printed version, so there is a need to keep the pagination part of the physical representation...but not necessarily the exact formatting. > Or, if this is just a temporary, per-case basis, you could just as easily > refer to the pages of an HTML printout the same way, couldn't you? Provided that all browsers with all of the different personal settings all printed the exact same number of pages for each document...which is what I guess I'm asking. Is there any conceivable way to do that easily, or should one just make them PDF documents to begin with? -Darrel -- http://cms-list.org/ trim your replies for good karma.
