Even better would be to have an XSL stylesheet that produces WordML
from the DocBook source.
This is what I and another engineer in my company have done for one of
our clients.
In fact, we're (almost) doing the round-tripping thing - the original
authoring is done in Word 2003 [*],
that gets saved as XML (WordML), converted to a more suitable XML
format (DocBook-like) and
then converted back into WordML for later editing purposes (as well as
HTML, PDF, etc).
Cheers,

[*] They're actually using Word XP and DocSoft at the moment until
such
time as they upgrade to
Office 2003.

Subject: [docbook-apps] docbook and rtf/doc
What is the perferred way to produce rtf or word doc
output?
I am still on my quest to get my company to start
using docbook instead of word documents, but i just
received a request from higher up that they would like
to review documents in the doc format so they can
inline their comments to the document.
I am working with the xsltproc -> fop line of tools
right now for pdf output.
Thanks-
Ben
