Ok. I've been keeping quiet because I really don't have a clue about
these XSL formats that are mentioned. But trying to figure out what my
OO3 export options will be is causing me some anxiety.
It sounds like I will need to get OO3 Pro to have flexibility with export
or to use any plugins that may become available through third-parties. Is
this correct?
I'm comfortable with creating AppleScripts, although I haven't created
many for OO2 knowing that modifications would be needed for the newer
version. But, I want to use my outlines with my Palm, so I'm more than
curious about what options I would have with and without third-party
plugins. Right now, I'm using Documents To Go, memos and PDFs to get info
to my Palm from various programs. Four Outlines, I've been using
spreadsheets for the least amount of steps to go back and forth with the
data, but always have to tweak the formatting.
