How relevant are those use-cases?
The bookmark element would indeed be a nice solution for our problem. However, is it possible to protect such a bookmark from the user, so that he cannot delete it ? The paragraph contents itself should remain editable though. kind regards, Dominique FYI: Problem case (very specfic project req.): we are dealing with 2 OO documents having the same content, English original and a French version created by us as a copy and which needs to be translated. We need to integrate those 2 Documents on a website (using XSLT) and the result should line out a French paragraph next to the corresponding English one. Currently, we are considering just to count the number of paragraphs, and make sure the translator does not add eg. an empty paragraph. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
