Re: Conversion problem, ...URGENT

[Judith Davidsen jdavidsen@xxxxxxxx]

Use Tim Baehr's run fax.pgm file, with the path changed to
land you in Winword rather than wordpad.

I'm going to attach my copy, which I've already changed to
the path to my Winword; check to make sure that's the path
for yours too. Tims instructions are in the file (I changed
"WordPad" to "Winword" in the instructions). The command I
use is run wd.pgm.

I write mainly text, so I don't know how much formatting
this will maintain for you, but it carries through bold and
italic nicely enough.

And in answer to a query earlier today from Jon Inggs, the
reason I use this program is to print files created in
xydos4.018 on a USB printer. It's also simple to use for
cutting and pasting into emails.

Good luck to all.
