I don't have a copy of Adobe File Utilities--I can't even recall ever
having confronted it in a catalog or computer store. Word for Word I
did know about (as a standalone product), but I never bought that,
either.



I'm willing to try the updated filters--they've clearly helped at least
some of you some of the time. I have the Hungarian/Adobe set,
plus the ones on the TTG Web site, plus the ones gleaned from
other programs. I may just need a little handholding on editing
TEXTOUT.FLT.

Or--

Does anyone already have a TEXTOUT.FLT that covers everything
that's available--and works reliably for them?

Best,
