That joins ALL the lines. What I need to do is to have each paragraph as a contimuous line, so that when I import the file into oowriter it will be easily editable. Probably setting tw=2000 is the best solution. I can import text files into oowriter, but I want to minimise the work needed afterwards as much as possible. Background: I am converting books, originally written with LyX, into Word.doc format for use by Smashwords to produce e-books. Unfortunately, Smashwords won't accept any other format, and it's a long haul to produce the files in Linux. The only way that seems to work is first to convert them to plain text, then import that into oowriter, and finally save in doc format. -- Anthony Campbell - [email protected] Microsoft-free zone - Using Debian GNU/Linux http://www.acampbell.org.uk - sample my ebooks at http://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/acampbell -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
