Hi Jambunathan,

these are great improvements -- I'm surprised people didn't thank 
you more for this!  So, thanks.

I am not sure I understand why we need `org-lparse-convert-process' and
`org-lparse-convert-processes' -- isn't it possible to just have the
first one, while listing the choices within this option?

I use unoconv.  

Can you give me an example configuration if I want C-c C-e O to output
files directly in, say, .doc (MS Word) format?

Thanks again, looking forward to test this more heavily!
