Dear Brent,
Something I've just discovered. If you download and install the
most recent version of Acrobat Reader for Windows9x, or find a
friend who'll do it, you can grab just the text.
There's a text selection tool on the toolbar, with which you can
select, then copy-and-paste sections of the text, and put it, sans
formatting, in to an ordinary text file.
Hope this helps,
Anthony J. Albert
