Exactly. Half a year ago I started to use XML+XSLT+FOP for a variety of formal letters, after I found it too hard to get Word auotmated for simple tasks. Surprisingly, I'm faster to type XML (using Emacs+PSGML) then to fiddle with the various Word positioning and paper format stuff (there's *always* something wrong). Paper and envelope measurements (unscrupolously lifted from http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html) are stored in a separate XML file, together with folding marks, address placement boxes and sensible margin settings, and are selected via an XSLT parameter. Now i can concentrate on content rather than guessing where Word thinks it should put addresses, subjects and headers.
