Hi,
Russel thank you, that is quite perfect!
As you said, Word preserves most of the formatting and pictures etc.
Looks good!
I'll stick with that, setting org-export-html-xml-declaration to
(("html" . "")
("was-html" . "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"%s\"?>")
("php" . "<?php echo \"<?xml version=\\\"1.0\\\" encoding=\\\"%s\\\" ?>\";
?>"))
which saves me the stripping off the xml header before importing to Word!
Excellent! This will help me a lot to produce documents (meeting protocols)
fast and easy, sharing the result through MS Word.
Thanks everybody for considering!
Rainer
