I remember seeing an extension that would do something like this. i did not verify, but it said something about saving writes to multiple formats at the same time.

Hi,

I need to create documents witht the same content but the formatting must be different:

- HTML
- PDF using a template
- Paper using printed letterhead

What I have been doing so far is creating an HTML document with an HTML editor. Then I import the file into the template for PDF and do the same for the letterhead printout.

The problem is that if I go back to the document to make changes, I need to modify three documents. It's time consuming and annoying.

Is there a way (using a database, even) to have my content written only once and when I make a change in one location, it affects all three formats?

If I was using LaTeX, I would do this by creating two different document classes, and use \input (or is it \include). The body of the document would be in one file and I would only need to generate the appropriate file format when needed. But I would only need to change the content once.

How can I accomplish this with OOo? Currently I use 2.2 on Ubuntu Feisty, if that matters any.

Thanks,

L
