You daft bugger. As if I had that kind of spare time.

I can, however, grab the next X files that come through, and do a quick-n-dirty comparison. I'll have to grab the Calibre plugin for importing Docx.

I happen to have a fully-styled Word file (an out-of-copyright Agatha Christie), that I created for a tutorial. I can run that comparison on that one, to get started.

I'll let youze guys know what I think. This will NOT be before Xmas, kiddles.
