Thanks for posting the pointer, Ted.

To others:

	I'm seeking help with two aspects of this template:

	a) being able to generate ASCII printer output from Macs and
	under OpenOffice
		the current template has been tested only under
		Office XP with the "Generic / Text Only" print driver

	b) being able to generate XML output
		the current version can print to any printer,
		or output HTML,
		and can output ASCII text as above,
		but needs to be augmented to dump XML

		(NOTE: I'm still unconvinced of the utility of this
		exercise; at the end of the day, most of what I need
		a document to do I get out of .txt, .html, and .doc,
		including access to databases of BibTex references
		via EndNote)

If any of you would like to help, drop me an email (ASCII, please ;-)

Joe
