    This reminds me. Are table of contents a possible item?

    Headers/Footers, Endnotes, and Table of Contents conversion are the
    only glaring items I notice so far. Well, amost. I know right now
    abiword supports conversion of .Doc files with images inside, but I'm
    having a real hassle figuring out how to enable that feature. When I
    convert files with embedded images I get a debug message that the DOM
    contains no image data. If I were at my development machine I would
    attach the exact output.
