Heh, don't think I've ever seen a Word doc. more than a page and half
long with a hierarchy that's not fouled up. Even people whose job is
basically writing in Word seem unable to make it keep indentation /
bullets / numbering consistent for more than a page or so.

One Leo -> Word path I've used before, when collaboration leaves me no
choice, is via reStructuredText, rst.  rst2odt makes an OpenOffice
document that OpenOffice can convert to a .doc(x) (if Word can't
read .odt, not sure).  The conversion can be done from the command
line, i.e. an environment in which you author in Leo and output
to .doc(x) is doable.

Like Jake said the other way might be harder but pandoc
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/ docx -> rst, which you can load in
Leo.  Except that Word docs. often use "bold + fontsize 18" for
headings, rather than actual heading semantics.

Hmm.

You could use viewrendered, and then copy+paste the vr pane's contents 
into word.  Word retains formatting on paste, so it just might work :)


As for imports... no clue.  There seems to be a deprecated word plugin 
though.  Perhaps someone could take up the charge and work on that?

So how to export and import this from leo outline into perhaps a dox

auto-produced and the body would be the text blah blah parts.

I know word documents are hopelessly archaic but still used.

Something I need, Word? (haha)

Hi!
I'm very pleased reading the design of the @clean implementation! Very 
interesting and I'm fascinated by the implications and applications.
So, I'm looking at some word documents that have outlines that are produced 
automatically by word processing programs.
1. blah
   a.  blah blah
  i.   blah
  ii.   blah
  iii.
 1.
 2.
 3.
  iv.
   b.
   c.
2.

So how to export and import this from leo outline into perhaps a dox or 
something?  perhaps the index level would be a headline auto-produced and 
the body would be the text blah blah parts.
I know word documents are hopelessly archaic but still used.

Todd.
