Just to throw in my 2 cents worth, the easiest way to create a program that would do SW in conventional programs such as Word, WordPerfect, StarOffice, AmiPro, and other programs is if there is some kind of "SW composer". This composer could be called to insert SW signs inside of these programs. For example, if you can insert an image like a character in the program, then you can do column-based SW simply by creating appropriate columns on the page, and then inserting the SW image. The challenge is that currently exporting under SW4.4 while significantly improved, is still a long process. So, what is needed for using SW in other programs is a SW composer that can transfer SW signs in various formats to the clipboard which could then be pasted into the document. I'm exploring a possible Java solution to this problem, but there may be ways to do it in other programming languages as well. I would suggest that GIF or JPG are more efficient ways to store the SW signs than a BMP file because BMP files are usually quite large.
