I know, but hey, if we can't dream anymore, what will make the world go 
forward ? ;-)
For the moment I stick to HTML export so that by boss can open my papers 
with his beloved Word...
That's all he wants, annotate my papers with Word.
He desn't even want to hear that PDF files can be annotated.
He's also whining that my Open Office files with equations cant' 
properly display...
I say hey, go complain to Microsoft, not to me !
