Hi Karl,
Yes, I understand, we occasionally work for regulated bodies too, and here we just strip out unwanted paragraph, section and page breaks with Kutools, and drop quizzes and interactions.
We still meet compliance requirements and the final materials don't look fancy, but it satisfies the requirements, and it's still a bit faster than the old hand-editing we used to do.
We've worked for some organisations that have wall-to-wall archives of materials stored for compliance and regulatory reasons. One day, I'm going to find out if anyone ever looks at them!
All the best, Stan.
