[Athen] Microsoft Word versus Open Office

[Terry Thompson]

Does OpenOffice's PDF export feature support "tagged PDF", and is the result
a well-structured, reasonably accessible PDF document? 

(I'm asking this not to squelch you OpenOffice advocates' enthusiasm - It's
just something I've been wondering and haven't had a chance to investigate).


Thanks, 
Terry
