I guess the next obvious question is "are there any plans for SS
to produce web pages that look just like journal reports to dear old dad"?

My 13K person journal report is for publication and I looked at SS
as a possible solution to my publishing problems (disk vice printed form)
but none of the sample SS sites I looked at had anything that looked like
what I want to see. I don't need an exact journal report match but it
would be nice if it came close .... like the Register reports on the
rootsweb.com worldconnect sites ...... well, better than that but you get
my drift <g>.

Having large TMG 4.0d generated Word files actually load into Word
would be nice and having large TMG 4.0d generated WordPerfect files
successfully generate indexes would, for me, be the better long range
solution but I'm thinking neither Microsoft nor Corel is particularly
interested in my silly needs/wants.

I have yet to generate this same 13K person journal Word file
successfully in TMG 5.09 (only tried one time and called it quits after
about five hours when only 36% of the "calculating text for 12610 people"
process was complete) but I expect the results, as far as Word being able
to process the file, will be similar to those seen with the TMG 4.0d
generated files: Word and WordPerfect simply do not appear to like large
files with lots of endnotes.

Has anybody managed to come up with a SWAG on what file size
usually triggers this failure? I have several families with journal
reports of 6-7K individuals and experience no problems thus far.
