The most time-consuming part was scanning my signature so I could have a handwritten signature "stamp" in the generated PDF. I can't see why writing a letter in Word would be any easier. (As I recall, the last time I did so, it was more work, because I didn't care for any of Word's letter templates, and the default styles weren't quite right for a business letter.) I know some regulars on the list (notably Steve Litt) have advocated Word for short documents. That's fine if it works for them. But I don't see it, myself. But then I've been using markup languages for short documents for a couple of decades (and word processors for only slightly longer), so perhaps I'm simply used to doing so. -- Michael Wojcik Micro Focus Rhetoric & Writing, Michigan State University
