I wish I had seen that, I am sure I would have learned something. :-)

Still, I do not think you would have much joy with that approach in 
this case, at least with the present state of PDF text import in 
ArtWorks. At the moment you end up with lots of individual text 
objects after importing a word processing file, which makes editing a 
pain. Things might be different if it was possible to turn these text 
objects into a single text area.
