Matt,

Sorry about continuing an OT discussion, but I'm curious what you mean when
you say the XML from XMLmind XML Editor (XXE) wasn't "good enough?" My
experience with XXE has been that the XML was perfectly valid, well
formatted in respect to whitespace, and met the DocBook specs. I find it
surprising that it's quicker for you to copy-and-paste from Microsoft Word
than it is to just use a structured content editing tool like XXE from the
beginning. In my understanding, the whole point of structured content is
that you're considering both content and structure at the same time.
