Yes, it might help, but it rather begs the question doesn't it.  I'm
looking for a fairly simple integrated way of creating a web site and
the solution to a significant part of it is a bit of a bodge.  Not to
mention it's a bit difficult to run Word on a Linux box!  :-)

It also doesn't address the issue of links within the content.

I think part of the problem is that it really isn't that simple (or
sensible) to separate structure and content quite so completely as
Drupal does (so do others, it's what CMS 'does').
