For direct conversion from XyWrite to Word, has anyone here used FileMerlin or (for other conversions) any of the other products on this site? http://www.file-convert.com/a_xy.htm Tonight I downloaded FileMerlin and tried it on a few files. It seems to work well enough. It'll cost you, though. If I'm reading the price list correctly (you need to download the trial version to see the prices), a single-user license for conversion from XyWrite to Word is $95. Conversion to multiple formats is considerably more expensive. (The trial version mangles the spelling of words, so you do have to pay in order to play.) I don't need it enough to shell out the money, but it's an option, and I wonder if anyone here has put FileMerlin through its paces. -- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxx
