Hi,
More like M$ thinking that they can rule the software world ... well
they do, don't they ...
this will be over very soon because:
the OASIS Open Document Format spec is now an international standard. Its
designation is ISO/IEC 26300
Wishful thinking, just look at the worldwide market share of Word on the
PC and Mac, that is not going to go away over night!

See what the sizes can be by creating a pdf in Windows, it strikes me that
above is based on a pixel image rather than using characters.

Greetings Earthlings,
I'm playing around with Trolltech's QT4 on WIndows and Linux at the moment, and
I've taken my old 'baby' the Quill Stripper (aka WinStripper) and I'm rewriting
it using QT - this will, hopefully, let me see how easy it is to use QT, how
easy it is to write cross-platform

Possibly!
I think if converted to HTML it can bbe imported into Word anyway, then saved
as a Word doc. As I use Open Office, I don't know for sure.
I agree with you about PDF, it is a good universal format. Although the
file size can get quite large.
Compression factors are variable in pdf. I ca imagine a DIY pdf might be
huge, in the way an MS WORD html is, setting font type,size colour each line.
