Steve: thanks; you’ve saved me a lot of effort by trying out Zoot before I did

Quant: thanks; the macro is very interesting though I cannot fathom how it calculates the size of the excerpts which appears completely unpredictable. I wish I knew vba…

Moritz: thanks for all the ideas;
? 3 looks great for the future (we are not on Sharepoint and contributors are distributed in the globe)
? 4 has the unbelievable 500 kb limitation; we’ll be moving to Google Apps soon, so I expect that will not be there
? 5 OneNote will also be ideal with the client side software; I’ll check whether anybody else has OneNote (I don’t use it, but I have it)

Chris; thanks, I’m trying to figure it out. Probably the best solution this time as everyone uses Word.

Clacha; thanks, I’ve tried Scenari in the past; not what I’m looking for right now since 80% of the work is ready in Word. However, I like the structured “separate content from layout” approach.

More as it happens, thanks again!
