I have had this thought as well, basically to add a "rawtext" output option that would not be paginated. It would basically be another structured output option (similar to MIF and RTF), and would seem to be very easy to get working at a basic level (tables, etc. are extra). Except for line breaks (which should probably be optional), it really wouldn't add much value over using XSLT to spit out the content. Also, Vincent, I just added some content to the doc that was gleaned from an email that you wrote several months ago, that documents the optimal settings needed to avoid line overwrite, etc. Thanks for that useful information.
