Mr. James Scott writes that the solution of removing paragraph marks at
the end of a line is to to use the "change" command to replace ^p
(paragraph mark) with a space.
That's how I do it, but what a PAIN!! It takes me hours to convert a
document taken off a line oriented system to a WORD document. I want
headings to be marked as headings. I want indents to be marked as tabs,
not spaces. I want paragraph breaks at paragraphs, not at line breaks. I
want extraneous spaces removed.
My biggest problem is taking documents out of Dialog and making them WORD
readable.
So, how about it MicroSoft?? Why not improve WORD in order to have it
efficiently alter the clunky stuff we pull out of these network services
into beautiful WORD documents?
That would be one heck of a product!!
