Fortunately, I'll only have to translate the Word docs to XML one, or 
single-digit quantities at a time. It's just to avoid some tedium 
taking transcripts (of people speaking, possibly translated into 
multiple languages) with time markers (that match up to the PowerPoint 
slides they were presenting at the time) and turning that into an XML 
document of caption data. The captions can then be presented with the 
slides and the voiceover on a web page. We may need to truncate the 
captions as well, but I really don't think that can be done any other 
way but manually. You wouldn't want to lose the concept being 
communicated by just arbitrarily chopping off words.
