Beth,
Let me get this straight. Your company is offering to buy you one of the
best tools available for technical documents and you are too lazy to learn
it?!? Are you pulling our legs (all 8000 of them)? Get off your lazy bottom
and take advantage of a wonderful opportunity! If you don't like
conversions, then just use it to produce your new documents. By the way, it
works fine for small documents.
Don't take me too seriously, but I find it hard to imagine not taking
advantage of an opportunity to learn new skills. My biggest problem is
finding the time to learn everything I want to learn.
