True, maybe he'll take the hint.

Actually, the corporate office is indeed in California, but the R&D and engineering sections are located in Estonia, so you might say we have some experience with working remotely ;) On the other hand, this task is quite low priority, so contracting someone is not an option.

To get back on topic:
Using OpenOffice Writer would not make much difference or is there something I'm missing? MS Word can also open html files, so nothing new there. Copy-paste works the same in most applications. And the free PDF converter does a perfect job already - I doubt that the OOo Writer would do it faster.

I was also recommended to use XML and XSLT. From the short research I
did it appears that a) this probably is just what we need and b) we even
have two books on the subject, both about 800 pages. Before I start
digging through them, I'd like a second opinion (or recommendations
where to start). Learning a new language would be useful, but time-consuming, so I'd not commit myself (or anybody else at the company) yet.
