Re: conversion from XyWrite to word

Ah. Thanks for the clarification. For many reasons the "last known
purveyors" (and I love that description) deserved to go under.

Most of the time I did not have any  codes in the XyWrite file, and I
certainly did not have one at the end of each line.

The problem consistently appeared when I converted to Word for Winbdows 2.0
or to WP 5.1.

The worst part of it is that the last known purveyors of XyWrite indicated
that they "thought" the problem had been corrected and sold me another,
updated cpoy of XY4, which was not materially different from the original
release.

So they deserved to go under.

Really? Have you tried saving the files as a Word 6.0 file? And/or Have
you removed any ≪PG≫ codes in the XyWrite file?

That's all I can think of. Over to you, Patricia.

Unfortunately, the filters bundled w/ XY4 are great for converting TO
XyWrite, but when converting FROM Xywrite tend to make each line of
  


output a



separate page, making the filters functionally useless for converting, as
Avi wants, from Xywrite to Word.

ACII: That would be Wordport. I use this program too. There were filters
bundled with the legal install package of Xy4 for Dos. If that's what
you have, then you have the filters also.

Blueberry Software: That goes back to the 1980s. I had no idea it was
still around. It could convert to Xy3+ and maybe later versions can
convert to Xy4.

I use an old version of Advanced Computer Innovations' filter,
available at http://www.acii.com/.  Blueberry Software's Filtrix,
which I have never used, claims it can convert XY3+.

Hope this helps.

 Does there exist a program that converts (or nearly converts) a
 XyWrite document into Word? I can manually do this by calling up
 a XyWrite file in Word and using "find/replace" to get rid of the
 formatting commands. I must then insert bold and italicized
 formatting by hand.  Is there anything available out there that
 would do this for me?
