As you said, I converted the specification.xml to HTML format and went trough all the content of it. That gave me a good understanding about what are the goals and non-goals of the roundtripping system. > > In what way would you like to participate in the project? Supporting Open > Office?

Therefore I would like to participate in "supporting Open Office" way and I am also interested in "Extending the system to later versions of Word". But I can work in any way you suggest and I can get familiar with it in few days. Since I am very new to Word XML roundtripping XSLs, I will really appreciate any advice and suggestion regarding this project. And these days I am working on creating a very strong proposal for this project. Therefore, your guidance and advice regarding the proposal will be very helpful to me. I will share with you a draft proposal I have made so far as soon as possible. Thanks in advance. > > Cheers, > Steve Ball > Explain > > On 02/04/2012, at 2:03 PM, Buddhiprabha Erabadda wrote: > > Hi Steve, > > > I am Buddhiprabha Erabadda, a third year undergraduate from Computer > Science and Engineering, University of Moratuwa.
