Re: Using XyWrite file in Word and saving as text document

Another way to tackle this would be to upgrade to Xy 4 with U2. There's a U2 routine to SA/RTF--Save a file or a defined block of text to Rich Text Format. Then you import that into Word. All the formatting should go over, since it uses the Filters (check for the latest ones; I don't recall if the Word filters were among those on that Hungarian site?). When your colleague gives you back the file, use the filters to convert back to Xy. Robert has detailed explanations and a sample batchfile with the filters.
Are you talking about this http://holmgren.home.acedsl.com/filters.htm , Patricia? These instructions are certainly clear enough, but I didn't see a "batchfile" per se there. BTW, another two-step, as it were, to converstion is NotaBene. When I'm feeling brain dead I open the XY file in NB and let it convert to RTF, whatever. Does a very good job. michael.norman@xxxxxxxx
