Re: Xy to Word

[Judith Davidsen jdavidsen@xxxxxxxx]

What I do is set up my own heads, subheads, etc in xywrite,
enclosing them --depending on the level--in brackets, curly
brackets, whatever I'm not using in the text. Then in word,
I use a search&replace to turn them into whatever font I
want for each level; in your case the roman numerals etc
would be inside the enclosures and Word would not change
them. If this will help, I can tell you how to do it in more
detail after I get something to eat. But I don't have a clue
how to make Word do it automatically.
