The line breaks are usually wrong and paragraphs are run together, so the space between them can't be adjusted. I use Solid Converter, which provides enough formatting options to enable you to get it right, one way or another. It will produce a Word doc or rtf file which as you know, open office can open and edit with no problem. It is neither free nor open code but it does the job and isn't expensive. -- Douglas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
