thanks for checking that out. i was also able to open the file in abiword,
and i'm sure the page numbering is fixable. however, all my smart quotes and
em-dashes were mangled and now appear as the degree symbol. i'm now looking
for a way to fix all these occurrences without retyping every single one.
maybe there is some arrangement in OO.o of which i am not yet aware that
will simplify restyling selections.
thanks,
aaron.
Can't you just run a search and replace on the degree symbol, to
change it back to an em-dash.
Also, it's a long shot, but try changing your system encoding to the
encoding used to create the document, then open it in abiword, OOo, or
Kword. Be sure to save it in UTF-8, however.
