I therefore wanted to know if it was possible to do it all with one package.

I did read that manual, but I could not find how to produce versions two and three. I could get the the first version, but not the second and third. After a long search on the net I found the answer to getting the third in a file called 'pdftex-t.tex': texexec --pdfarrange --paper=a5a4 --print=up myfile I definately need more exaples to learn from (prefferably examples with the dutch interface). I also found that I might need to upgrade my context package (Using the one included in tetex 1.06 now). > > Kan ConTeXt werken met 8bit input en dan ook regels goed afbreken in > > woorden met accenten?

It makes a difference if you get your copy in MS word format. I means that you would have to convert all your input files. For testing I've used 'sed' the stream editor to convert the input files. It has become quite unreadable: 'Hyvää pääsiäistä' becomes 'Hyv\"a\"a p\"a\"asti\"aist\"a'! Any other suggestions. If I just insert eight bit characters they do not appear in the output.
