Subject:Exporting a WORD Doc to TXT w/Page Breaks From:Tim Covil <covil_t -at- WIZTEC-USA -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 15 Aug 1997 11:56:43 -0400
A friend has a Word merge document with page breaks. For whatever,
reason, he wants to be able to export to a text file but maintain the
form feeds.
He has a DOS program that does this, but it requires him to get out of
Win and re-boot in DOS mode.
He doesn't need rich text or any other formatting retained - just the
merge fields and the form feeds. Does anyone know of a way in Word, or a
separate Windows program, to output to text and preserve the page
breaks?
Thanks,
Tim Covil
