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
