You may try as follows: (1) MS WordViewer 2003+Comp.pack: - open - edit/select all - edit/copy (2) OOo Writer 2.3.1: - edit/paste special - formatted text (RTF) My results, saved/exported with OOo 2.3.1 [.odt/.doc./.pdf], are available here -> <http://cjoint.com/?mkbVcJZAXk> <http://cjoint.com/data/mkbVcJZAXk_simple_text.zip> [65 KB] > When I get to work tomorrow, I'll have to try installing that > Compatibility Pack on my work computer, which has Office 2003 on it, > along with the Sun ODF plugin, to see how well it can convert from .DOCX > to .ODT. Have fun! [with Word 2000 + Comp.pack + SUN ODF Plugin 1.1 I have got nearly the same result as with paste special from MS Word Viewer (see above)] - Manfred --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
