Presumably, you then get the benefits of both. This isn't really the ability to "save" your files as DocBook XML. It's actually just an "export" feature, with no corresponding feature to "import" from DocBook XML. If you use this, you'll have to maintain your document in OOo format, and export to DocBook XML format. I'm not sure how well this will track changes across versions. Greg
