Hi John, A few points:
1) We do have vpl import tools. We also have a similar tool for our "imp" import format, which can deal with different versifications, once the libsword 1.6 is released. The Vulgate versification is high on our list to introduce. 2) If you go back to the original MS Word files, export these into xhtml (e.g. via Open Office) you might get quite clean files with all paragraphing available - depending on how well MS Word was used. 3) I have found it pays enormously to learn a bit about regular expressions, shell scripting and sed, which is what Greg referred to. It looks absolutely daunting on first instance, but is actually pretty straigfht forward to learn + changes a many late nights job to a short weekend one. Learning this kind of stuff once will serve you well in many different situations (I am a medical doctor, no programmer) 4) There is absolutely nothing wrong in going a way of gradual improvements and several releases - most of our modules are done this way. 5) Karl Kleinpaste who is the lead for Xiphos is often very helpful in creating a first fully functional module which you then can use, show off, distribute and brag about while you quietly get to grips with OSIS module making.
