Hi, Thanks for replying. I try to explain my point. This is something like an interpreted markup document. Instead of writing the text and then applying various levels of formatting to it, for example: headlines, sub-headlines, body text etc. we can write our document like: <heading>this is heading</heading> <sub>this is sub heading</sub> <body>Text formatiing is so easier this way in a large document</body> User would be able to define these tags, like <heading> means BookMan Old 20 pt Red Color etc. . Say I can make a toggle button for "Interpreter mode". Press the button and start writing your document in this interpreted fashion. Once you're done, toggle the button and the whole document is interpreted and displayed in formatted manner and you able to write in that WYSIWYG manner too, ie without interpreting. what i am talking about is very similar to TEX. But its integrated in Open Office, like bringing the power of TEX to ordinary users which I find has a learning curve of its own. Do reply.

Could you explain in closer detail what that "tagging mode" should be? What should become "tagged" and what are these tags going to contain?
