Thanks Grant.

I did see this list, but I was a little put off by the generally poor 
level of support for docbooks. I also thought this list was dated as it 
includes openoffice but not libreoffice.

However I missed that lyx can work, and I use lyx for LaTeX so that 
would be a plus.

Thanks,
Michael
