That's exactly what Adobe has done with InCopy, so apparantly there is some need for an application like that. InCopy even allows simultanous edits in different text flows within one document. Their trick is to split the main document into parts which basically are individal XML files. For a start, having a text-only-editor would be great. Achim -- Achim Leitner, Stellv.
