Michael,
Is this work you are doing with Word files for ViewPlus or for BB? I am
extremely interested in more direct access to Word files, even if that means
saving them in XML format. At least that would bypass the DAISY plug-in. If
you can't talk about it, I know how that goes. Thanks for any info.
Best regards from Ohio,
Vic

So from what you are saying are the files wordDocument.sem and
w_wordDocument.sem no longer needed? If so why have they not been
deleted from the project?
I must stress though, this is not docx, it is Word XML, like if you
select the format Word XML 2003 in the save dialog of word (it is a
single XML not an archive containing multiple files). Will docx.sem work
on this?
Will I need to create a config file to ensure docx.sem is used?
