Master documents?

Use a single child document, where all the text editing takes place.

Three master documents, with required layouts. Use the same paragraph and character style names throughout, but change the styles as required in each master document. Make sense?

Hi,

I need to create documents witht the same content but the formatting must be different:

- HTML
- PDF using a template
- Paper using printed letterhead

What I have been doing so far is creating an HTML document with an HTML editor. Then I import the file into the template for PDF and do the same for the letterhead printout.

The problem is that if I go back to the document to make changes, I need to modify three documents. It's time consuming and annoying.

Is there a way (using a database, even) to have my content written only once and when I make a change in one location, it affects all three formats?

If I was using LaTeX, I would do this by creating two different document classes, and use \input (or is it \include). The body of the document would be in one file and I would only need to generate the appropriate file format when needed. But I would only need to change the content once.

How can I accomplish this with OOo? Currently I use 2.2 on Ubuntu Feisty, if that matters any.

Thanks,

L
