I can't abide Doc format, though ODT format is just about
acceptable. Most stuff I do is in plaintext with markup, which
is then converted to HTML.
Printing stuff then means using a HTML browser that allows
formatted cut-and-paste, typically into Open Office, where
headers and footers can be added.
I've discovered the hard way that if I loose the plaintext
original, I can regenerate it from the HTML using search-and-
replace in a text editor. [grin]
And, yes, I'd recommend posting things to RAAC. [grin]
That has the advantage of being a 'push' rather than a 'pull'
technology. I'm not too happy about using RSS to try and keep
track of updates to web sites, as an altenative. Google gives
you an automatic archive capability too, and I've seen a few too
many 'reliable' web sites disappear taking all of a load of
people's work with them.
