The Tclkit DIN-Brief [http://wolf-dieter-busch.de/html/res/Heimatseite/download/dinbrief.kit] (available at [http://wolf-dieter-busch.de/html/Software/DINBrief.htm]) allows writing a well typeset TeX letter according to DIN 676 without the needs to hack some TeX markup. 

   * Numbered or bulleted lines are transformed to an appropriate TeX construction.
   * Tabs are transformed to an appropriate TeX construction.
   * Pure numerical number columns are aligned to decimal sign (period or comma).
   * Sub-subjects are marked with enclosing by "*" or "/" or "_" at line start, e.g. /New./
   * Including simple incremental search.

[male] - 2006-04-07: Hhhm - TeX? I don't have TeX! What's about combining it with [tcom] and using the "''remote access''" to MS Word, or OpenOffice to generate the DIN letter?

Yes - I could try this out, but my knowledge about the COM interface of Word or OpenOffice is very limited and there are others, who can do this much easier than I.

Is there anybody out there to try to combine '''dinbrief''' with [tcom]?
