That does not work since KWord is not a simple application that only does text (ala html markup style). It does frames as well. And more then that.. Besides; the styles are allready seperated, the content-markup tags are not in the text, we do have paragraps.. Should I continue? The DTD has been written a long time ago, it has been refined by many and if you find a problem, fine. Talk about it. But don't just say "I think this shows a poor design..", be constructive here... -- Thomas Zander zander@earthling.net The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new _______________________________________________ Koffice-devel mailing list Koffice-devel@master.kde.org http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice-devel
