I will have to see if OOo preserves formatting when I do that.  However, that 
still leaves the problem of highlight_string()'s colors being rather poor for 
on-screen.  Are those easily configurable?  That would at least give me a 
decent result, kinda, even if it's not as clean as doing it all within the 
presentation program.
