Re: [libreoffice-users] Book-writing with Writer

Hi :)
That sounds like a nightmare!  You made it look like a series of stepping stones rather than the 
single hop we were hoping for.  

However, when i look again you are really talking about just 1 format in the middle?  Then the 
extra editing is just an optional finesse that Virgil could probably dodge for the test-run?  

The command-line bit also sounds a bit scary but if you could give a command that Virgil could try 
out by using copy&paste then that might be "do-able"
Regards from 
Tom :)
