Harry & Paul:


O.K., I just did a first trial of this and the results were not

encouraging.  The source was a moderately formatted legal
document.  (If it wasn't confidential in nature, I might have
supplied it as

a test sample.)  Maybe the problem was that it was written in Xy-3,


rather than Xy-4 ?  I could see there was a big problem from the


very start, when NB first tried to open it.  The document opened


looking like some teeny tiny JPEG graphic, too small to be seen

really, and at the bottom right status line it said either "Unknown


Formatting Commands" or "Unrecognized Formatting Commands"
-- not

that it makes that much difference.  (This was in NB 9, as I haven't


done anything regarding NB 10 as yet.)  I took no further steps at


this point, like trying to do a conversion to RTF.  Did I botch this


by the way I went about it, or . . . ?

I have been using NB to edit the later chapters of my book.

When each is in nearly final form, needing only tiny changes and

proofing, I export them as RTF and take them into (ugh) Word. The

translation part goes well.




Dear Jordan




I've just returned and haven't been following this thread but I use
NB

exclusively now and convert into RTF regularly.  For me that
has

worked well although there can be hiccups if there are stray NB/Xy

embedded instructions.  Then it becomes a matter of finding
and

eliminating them.  I export large files containing tables and

footnotes without difficulty.  Is that of any help?




Best wishes
