Hi Drew,
Have you thought of using TEI? You would need to get a suitable editor
(Oxygen). You would also need to transform the TEI to, say, HTML for
others to be able to look at it. The last step is made much easier by
Sebastian Rahtz's stylesheets.
Best,
Tim Finney

The file is heavy laden with many footnotes, symbols, and foreign language texts and fonts, and Word does not seem to be able to handle the load. For a while it ran extremely slow. Then it started opening only sporadically. And now it has stopped displaying the fonts because of insufficient memory, even though I have over 2 GB of RAM available! I've even broken the file down into numerous smaller files, but to no avail.
