Remembering that many authors choose to save in PDF format to prevent people copying and re-editing their original work AND having duly considered this and respected it. The method i'd use. - Copy from Acrobat Reader (if allowed by the author). - Paste to writer. - Inspect the formatting of the pasted text. You may need to alter tab layout, paragraphs etc. - Use "Table - Convert - Text to Table" and action as required in the dialogue box. - Once happy with the layout of the text. Use "Table - - Select- Table" Copy - Paste to Calc. Bit of mucking around, but it works. -- Michael Linux: The OS people choose without $200,000,000 of persuasion. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
