I did this and this seems to work.
Thank you a lot.
(Actually one of the things I'm trying to do is to proof to my
fellow-workers that linux is a very effective and cheap tool for our work.
I'm a teacher and a designer. I'm working at an open university planning
and teaching courses using internet-based environments. My friend has
used msword to write his documents and we want to use them to be put in
the Net and they have to be in html-format.
We have here often problems when students are sending their documents
formatted using many different word-processing programs, too.)
