Hi Dave (Price),
  Try having your file sender save his file as Text Only (with line breaks)
rather than as RTF/Rich Text Format.  Only some programs such as WordStar and a
few others which have been designed to receive RTF will do it successfully.  If
your sender saves his file as an ASCII/Text Only file, you should be able to
import it into Word without many formatting problems.  E-mail me in either
case. I used to do quite a bit of file format interchange.  MicroSoft Windows
can save a file in many different formats, one of them will probably fit your
needs.  The ASCII/American Standard Code for Information Interchange option is
usually the best.  Good luck.   Lee H./Memphis State
