A friend of mine finds that if I transmit an ASCII file to him, it looks okay on the screen, but when he saves it and reads it in Microsoft Word 4.01, it's all garbled. I don't recall his comm program, sorry. At this end I'm using the PINE mail-reader and the "attach" command. Would some Mac Word maven be kind enough to send Anthony a note asking for more on the symptoms and suggesting a solution? I can't believe that Word 4.01 would have trouble reading ASCII (generated with QEDIT) sent to him on the net. There must be a quick fix. Perhaps something's wrong with his import function. Anthony Policastro is writer@char.vnet.net. Please e-mail him *directly*, rather responding here. You might cc: him at writer1@aol.com to make sure the note reaches him quickly. Many Thanks, David Rothman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David H. Rothman "So we beat on, boats against drothman@digex.net the current...." 805 N.
