I appreciate the thought but your request made me think about the
longer term future of the current Dr Wimp Manual structure - which
was originally set up with the hope that I could simplify Manual
updates for the many users out there. But this has so far eluded me
and it's worth looking a simpler structure - and one that will
easily convert to OPro.

And before someone asks - I am wedded to Impression for large
documents mainly because it has unparalleled indexing and
Style-searching facilities, which I personally find very useful to my
style of working. It does have shortcomings as well.......... :-)
