Hi Michael

What kind of benefits are you seeing in such a setup?


I think it makes no sense at a straight through translation, but when I work
in the future on updating one editions I see the changes in the Word
tracking mode in one paragraph and I think it would be very transparent to
make the necessary changes right to next paragraph.


OK, I see your line of thought. Interesting thread, in any case. I just
don't like the idea of keeping everything in one Word document (the way
Klaus describes with hidden text: effectively the content is n-fold with
n languages), since DOC is sometimes fragile enough.

I have vague ideas of using XML "text files" for the content and load
them with Word, but I have never implemented a setup like that so far.

Greetings
Robert
