I'd agree with that. I certainly hope they're able to stay in business – it seems as though Vellum takes care of everything. About the only thing it can't do (I might be wrong) is that it can't output to Word format? I'm the process of publishing a book right now and they've requested everything in Word.

I just looked: you can export to RTF. So couldn't Word import that?

I was wrong. Just took a look at their blog and apparently as of 3.4 (Nov. 16, 2022) you can export to Word (https://blog.vellum.pub/). That's excellent.

Strong recommendation (echoed by many I've talked to). Write in word, format in Vellum. Don't use Vellum as an editor, that's not its strength.
If you make any changes to the word doc, you just use "reimport word document" in Vellum, and you are ready to print/upload again.
