[sword-devel] New Spanish Bible from DOCX to OSIS

[David Haslam]

Vince's message is one he sent in March. Maybe a flook of our mail server that it just got reposted!

FYI. I've been working closely with him for the past five weeks.

The text development involved a lot more than simply converting from MS Word format.

We expect to submit the module before the end of April.

Best regards, David

We're in the last stages of cleaning up the typographical and orthographical issues in the digital versions up until now, and I'm looking at a DOCX file of the text, originally formatted for print (and the reformatting to produce VPL needs a lot of help).

I'm not a complete idiot when it comes to technology (I run multiple websites and actually run my own Debian VPS), but I need as much help as anyone would be willing to provide.
