Hi Harry,
Thanks for your response but did you say that the file must be unformatted?
No bold, no underlining, no particular font sizes or choices, nothing?
When I do it my way, all the formatting I've put into my xywrite document
is converted to msword. Even automatic numbering.
Tell me if I've misunderstood you, but you seemed
to say that it had to be straight ascii text.
