My purpose is to export to mail-merge documents, and possibly spreadsheets. As my software calculates dependencies when data changes, there could be no writing from the word processor without losing this (unless I went on an intensive watch of the data), and I couldn't control values. Also, some intelligence is needed for the rendered value, which would be a bit much for a word processor. Twenty five years ago (Ulp! did I just write that???), I had HyperCard writing two files--back when word allowed its own files to simply specify filenames, rather than forcing the pointy/clicky/fieldy/linky abomination of Word 6 onwards . . . (Which is *so* bad that when I needed to send out two hundred semi-custom letters, I realized that it would take less time to write the code to add mail merge to LyX than to fight word. And I was write; in less than a week, I had a far more functional merge operation--nested includes [the included text got processed after inclusion], if elseif, a couple of other comparators, and I forget what else. Unfortunately, the source code seems long gone; I've never been able to find it, and have merely a pentium era linux executable) -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
