There are some other workflow questions that might make that question redundant. This journal (for some reason unknown to me) has designed the publication format in MS Word, and there are some specific requirements. So I have a couple of choices: - Export to LaTeX, and try to reproduce their layout (likely with a new document class based on "article"). That's a chunk of work, but they also confirmed that I could send PDF as long as it follows the style guidelines. - Export to ODT. This is probably simpler for setup -- I'd probably just need to change some of the names of paragraph or character styles in their template so that org can find them for section headings, abstract etc. But... there is more risk of the formatting breaking. If I send .odt, MS Word might choke on it, or similar if I resave my .odt as .docx. (The word online is that LibreOffice does not do well saving docx.) Or, export to ODT and let LibreOffice turn that into a PDF. I hesitate to do this, when LaTeX is a far superior typesetter. (But, tweaking all the formatting details in LaTeX is quite likely to give me some more gray hairs...) Advice? Thanks -- hjh
