Hi Robert,
For what it is worth, I've use:
http://www.sfr-fresh.com/unix/www/html2rtf.pl
to post process output from 'groff -Thtml'. The result is, imo,

I think the majority of printers/publishers now want electronic files

margins, point size, fonts, etc.
Some may be fussy about details for toc and index.

What exactly does the editor need? Either MSWord or TeX? Is he or
