Do you mean that we should learn to live w/ the fact that exchanging documents
with MSOffice users will never be possible if one uses chapter numbering (or
rather: outline numbering)?
And am I right that you say that we CAN, however, exchange chapter numbered
documents w/ MSOffice users as long as we use good old .doc format and not
.docx?
