Possible, but really hard. I hope that you or somebody else will find time to look into this - my co-workers want to have all comments and track changes in the document they get and they complain that the doc I send them looks "different" after I imported it into LyX, made the changes asked for, and converted it back to doc... Might be a project for the google summer code? To late for this year, but possibly next one. Cheers, Rainer > > Cheers, > > Rob > - -- Rainer M.
