[TYPO3] Inporting Large Documents into Typo3

rlmp_officedocuments only import OpenOffice swx-format, as far as I know. 
But it works, have tried it with documents on 50 - 60 pages. rlmp_officeimport 
are at bit older. But they are using a solution of this kind to publish the 
documentation on typo3.org. I know TSref is about 140 pages. To me (looking 
at the HTML-code) it looks like they are using a "version" of rlmp_officedocuments.

So if you can convert the documents to OpenOffice swx-format, rlmp_officedocuments 
is worth a try. Even with a bit missing documentation, it's easy to use.
