No, not at all. Our product simply does not work like this.

Someone in your organization needs to develop an XSLT stylesheet which 
generates XSL-FO (a standard ``page description language'') out of your 
single source XML.

The generated XSL-FO should of course faithfully implements all your 
corporate styles.

Once you have the XSL-FO, you can automatically convert it to a variety 
of formats:

* PDF, PostScript by using Apache FOP, RenderX XEP, Antenna House XSL 
Formatter, etc.

* RTF, WordprocessingML, .docx (MS Word formats) or .odt 
(OpenOffice/LibreOffice format) by using our product: XMLmind XSL-FO 
Converter.

Note that the current release of XMLmind XSL-FO Converter does not 
support adding named styles to the RTF, WordprocessingML, .docx or .odt 
it generates. For now, the files generated by our product exclusively 
use direct formatting.
