Mostly because nearly ALL paragraphs are tagged with ids, and you must "create" these ids yourself. There was once a tool to use within AOO that was supposed to help but I never got this to work for me. The structure is difficult and seems somewhat arbitrary to me. The idea to port the internal Help to a different system/architecture was brought up almost at the outset of bringing AOO into the ASF but no one volunteered to do this. Anyway, good luck. I will try to be of help if I can. But, it's been a while ... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "Less is MORE."
