Re: conversion from XyWrite to word

Leslie --

Most of the time I did not have any  codes in the XyWrite file, and I
certainly did not have one at the end of each line.

The problem consistently appeared when I converted to Word for Winbdows 2.0
or to WP 5.1.

The worst part of it is that the last known purveyors of XyWrite indicated
that they "thought" the problem had been corrected and sold me another,
updated cpoy of XY4, which was not materially different from the original
release.

So they deserved to go under.

Fred
