RE: converting without losing formatting

["Harrison, Shawn" Shawn_Harrison@xxxxxxxx]

My last attempt at sending Word macros, I notice, bunged up the
characters to do the XyWrite formatting (the "at" symbol and the
"over-score" that appear in other text editors). So I'll send the macros
as an attachment here. Sorry about that. The same instructions apply.
