Dan,

I cannot speak to what you are saying. I rarely go from word to Xstandard,
but I have created word templates (for non-related stuff) and word does
CRAZY html. I know that in the LITE version, you cannot copy from word to
Xstandard. In the pro version, I think there is a flag that allows you to
copy over from word, but please don't take my word on any of it as I have
not that experience.

My only real knock on XStandard is it tends to really lose formatting from
Word docs--especially when tables are used. At least that's been my
experiencing testing the demo.

The code it produces is extremely clean. It looks to be a great product for
CMS-based products where you really want to control the look of the document
to fit within pre-defined CSS style sheets.

In the project I'm working on though, we need to reproduce the look of the
Word document as closely as possible (with it still producing XHTML
compliant code.) This really is the only knock I have w/XStandard. However,
XStandard was exactly what I was looking for when I was writing a CMS
product at my last job.
