Oh, that’s neat. I think it would require all collaborators to be aware that this was going on, and that nothing beyond basic formatting would survive – and also for them to be educated enough with Word to use heading styles rather than visual formatting. I dread to think what might happen to figures and equations… But it’s an interesting prospect.

I am starting a paper that will eventually have to be put my text into a word document so I can work with my boss, and was wondering is there any interest for me to document my process for a PR to teach novices? Does anyone know of some other way we can track Word documents? - Dan ----- We invite research leaders and ambitious early career researchers to join us in leading and driving research in key inter-disciplinary themes.
