Hi,

the help for the Writer word import states, that formating template information is thrown away on the inport and the template attributes become direct attributes. I wonder why this descision was made. For small documents this is probably fine but for large documents it throws away the document maintainability. I e.g. have a manual for a piece of software I wrote (around 650 pages) and I started the manual in Word years ago. I think it wouldn't take me more than a few hours to get this document in shape after an import to Writer, if all the template linkage information would be imported (that is which text is formated by which template), even if it would be a bit inaccurate. Fixing the template definitions is relativly easy. But reassigning all the template would probably take me two weeks. This document is the only reason why I still need Word and I would honestly like to get rid of it ;-)

Best regards,

Michael
