Has anyone tried this ?

havent yet, read it on newsforge though, thought someone wrote a good comment about how we shouldn't be trying to re-invent the wheel, and that programmers should work harder on ms word conversion tools and such. its nice that linux has all these flavors, but maybe one should focus more on things like conversion?

I wish the lot of these development companies would start migrating to XML

I signed up for the beta testing... I can't say much about the software (yet) because I haven't tested it that much. However, I already installed a procmail rule to filter out the enourmous amount of mail the company sent me

If you are interested in getting the software without being spammed by softmaker, PM me.
