What a huge waste of time! I can't speak for anyone
else, but usually I have deadlines that don't
accomodate a million reviews and THEN a conversio to
an entirely different format so I can THEN try
single-sourcing my deliverables. Heck, you're
defeating the purpose of single-sourcing by
repurposing from Word to FrameMaker!!!
