[Framers] Windows 10 woes affecting Adobe installs

2020-02-06 Thread Ken Poshedly

You can export to RTF, but only on a file-by-file basis. It'll keep the styles but you'll still need to do some clean-up because Word. On Thu, Feb 6, 2020 at 11:08 AM Caroline Tabach wrote: > When I export to Word it seems to keep styles. > Maybe try > > Caroline Tabach > > On Thu, 6 Feb 2020, 1
