Re: Xydos to Quark?

Dear Ms. Davidsen,

Yes, that is what I meant. The file you save in Word format can be sent
to your client just as it is saved. However, you won't be able to see it
in Word, so you are sending something that you have not examined. If
your client is willing to do some experiments with you, this is one you
should try early on. If it works (and it should), you can be pretty
confident that your client will be satisfied. My only reservations about
this apply more to chemical and mathematical text, where symbols are
likely to be mangled by filters that transpose one format into another.
As I recall, you said that your text was pretty straightforward, so you
should have little trouble sending a word file downloaded from XYwrite.
If you have time, let me know how it turns out.
Good luck,

Jan C. Prager
