Hi Mirko,

Doesn't look like you've ever received an answer on this.

At the moment we use OpenOffice 2 for the major projects requiring charts 
and graphs as it allows us to easily convert to PDF (with embedded URL 
support), convert to many other formats and it is very easy to create 
charts and graphs without having to learn any formatting tags.

We are also streamlining the process for getting the major documents to 
the translation teams _prior_ to publication so they have time to translate.
I'm open to constructive gripes on where this process is breaking down, 
especially if they are accompanied by suggestions on how to make life 
easier for the document creators (who are under very tight schedules) and 
the translation teams.
