Well, you almost have one column for the words and one for the defs
already. Why not simply find ' / ' and repalce with a tab, then import
the file into Excel/OOo?
Wi, se vre. That worked. I was thinking too complicated. And, I haven't
used a spreadsheet in almost 20 years. Something that came with Paradox
or WP. And a lotus clone for Amiga.
Got that working. Beiks made one for me and I saw the errors that came
up. Fixed those, sending it in to them again.
Now I realize that this in an English-Kreyol lexicon and I should have a
kreyol-english one as well.
[I did use dropbook to create an ereader dictionary but now my ereader
says it needs to be pro to work with a created dictionary.]
So now I need to get the first word(phrase) up to the tab, cut it and
put it at the end of the line. With a new tab separating them.
I'll think about it. Thanks for the help.
