Mr. Holmgren said: > Any chance you could just attach them to a public msg? I'd be happy to do that, as long as everyone is happy with the 14K attachment. I guess my question is, how big is too big to assume it's o.k. without asking? Is there some protocol on this point? >From what I've seen to date, 14K is small enough not to ask about in advance. So here it is. But I'd like to hear what people think/know about the netiquette for attachment sizes. Thanks. Caveat: These macros are very basic. They handle things like MDBO (bold), MDRV (italic), MDUL (underline), FN1 (footnotes), MDI* (insertions), MDD* (deletions), and so forth. There are a lot of things they don't cover. If there's something you want that they don't do, let me know and I'll see how hard it is. In general, xy2word conversion is a lot easier to engineer than word2xy, even within MSWord, because Xy's formatting is transparent (like HT/XML), while Word's is obfuscated. (For instance, it is very easy to convert Xy redlining to Word redlining within MSWord, but I have found no way to make the reverse conversion -- Word doesn't allow programming access to the redlining/revisions characteristic of the text.) In general, these macros are good for very simple formatting needs. For more complex translation needs, I would heartily recommend the external, stand-alone filters. The attachment is a MSWord document template with the macros in it. Open the template in Word and read the instructions. Let me know if you have problems.
