Nitpick away  :o)

That would be awesome! I am really fond of the 1.3 interface and, as you 
can see, a number of its new features.

Ok, that's very interesting. I have recently had harassment from others 
regarding  a large document we are working on collaboratively and the 
reformatting I have to do at times after importing significantly changed 
chapters.

That would be very useful for some documents I do as well.

Thanks for the tips Andreas - I'm looking forward to going live with a 
1.3 version.


Cheers!
Nik.
