Would you think it a good idea to write a VB for Word(R) which: 1) Finds out the path/name of the active file 2) Automatically triggers WH2FO to transform the Word file As an extension of this idea, would you consider it useful to insert into the Word(R) menu a series of commands such as: -

If n persons are using FOP now and some of these can no longer use FOP because a part of FOP they need has a license they can't use, then I'd say this reduces FOPs usefulness for these "some" persons, despite being more useful to others. Arnd Beissner --Arnd Beißner
