If it was just plain text, maybe I'd consider it, but I have 700 articles of formatted text on my "live" site and another 1000 articles as Word docs. In both cases just using very simple formatting - italics, bullets - with inserted pictures, and recreating that … well … I'd rather not go there.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Does Alfresco provide a </SPAN><SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;">facility to import/upload content</SPAN><SPAN>?
