I don't think the translation to WP6.0 will be any more direct than to
WP5.1, but after the code is stripped off, the use of styles could make
the job go faster, particularly if one were to create a button bar that
had each style listed as a button. The styles could be open (click on this
style until a new one is needed) or paired (block the text and click on the
button to apply the style to the text). In the Windows version, due out
next week, one can set up a style then apply it by blocking text and clicking
the mouse button--no need to go to the button bar. Still tedious, but it
may be faster than in WP5.1. (If one set up a series of Alt-key macros
to apply the desired styles, then WP5.1's faster speed could get the job
done more quickly, particularly if one were familiar with using the alt and
control keys in conjunction with up, down, left, and right arrows for moving
through text.)
David Child, who envies no one who has to reformat files and often finds
it faster just to retype them
