I would like to convert lots of Microsoft Word files (like over 3,000) to text format. I really don't feel like going "open, save as, text only, ok, close" 3,000 times. Are there any programs out there that will do this sort of thing automatically? If not, does anyone have information on the Word 4.0 (and 3.0 -- half the files are in one format and half are in another) file format so I could try to write one myself? Thanks. -greg +----------------------------------------------------+ Greg Brail Internet: gjb@cs.brown.edu BITNET: gjb@browncs.bitnet UUCP: ..uunet!brunix!gjb Home: (401)863-6284
