Hello, I advise the XSL-FO converter from XMLMind: http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/ It's reasonably priced and does a very good job.
However one limitation is that the output is made out of XSL-FO so all the structure information is lost (basically the Word output does not use styles) HTH, *NeoDoc* *Camille Bégnis* cami...@neodoc.fr Tél: +33 (0)4.42.52.24.20 5, rue de la Touloubre 13770 Venelles France http://www.neodoc.fr/ Le 23/01/2015 16:03, David Goss a écrit : > There is also the roundtrip stylesheets in the Docbook XSL > distribution.
