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

If n persons are using FOP now and some

because a part of FOP they need has a license they can't use, then
I'd say this reduces FOPs usefulness for

Yes, despite tenacious tentatives we did not succeed in getting the
following to work properly in FOP 20.1 + Cocoon 2.0 (PDF output):
- hyphenation DE
- font embedding
- Unicode output
The same features could be translated into PDFs without any problems with
FOP as a stand-alone solution.

It seems that Cocoon has certain limitations if compared to FOP used as a
stand-alone engine. Having retreated to the latter, the question has arisen
how to trigger FOP. Neither I nor my colleagues are Java programmers.
Therefore, we would have to trigger FOP via the DOS prompt by means of a VB
