odt2pml - Writer to Palm eReader export macro

odt2pml exports a Writer document into a "Palm Markup Language" (PML) tagged plain text file, ready to be processed by DropBook for Palm eReader.
odt2pml is WYSIWYG, within PML limitations: format your document as you like, and Palm eReader will show it with nearly the same formatting. That includes character and paragraph styles, page breaks, chapter headings, footnotes, images and direct formatting (bold, italic, ...). Tables, columns and text frames are not supported.
You may enable direct calling of DropBook in order to get a .pdb file ready to be synced to your handheld.
Two helper macros are included: John Vigor's Ascii Formatter, and a chapter heading style formatter.
Version 3.2 includes localizations: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish.
Macros tested with OOo 2.3 and 2.4, on Kubuntu Hardy and Windows XP.

Fantastic

Took seconds to install and seconds to use. The end result was a perfect eReader compatible copy of Journey to the West.

Thank you so much

Hi, Scoff,
I'm glad you liked it!

Currently I am fixing some bugs reported by two users.
