I have a MS WORD doc file that uses a format as follows: 1 this is a word paragraph that has a NUMBER then a TAB then a bush of text like this ahsdk;h sd;hsd sd;hsd sd';hds';sd sd'hsd'hsd 'h ;shdf;hsd; f;'hs'fjh'ag'hg'h......and more text. 2 this is the second paragraph with more text 'j'j'gj dfgjlkgl slglsd dslglsdglgsd;fh;sfd;hdsf ;'hh;sdf;hs ;hsdf;hs;sdf;h;sha;has hsadh; sdlgls;dggsd;;sd;h.....and more text my goal is to transfer this file into a text file but keep the exact format in terms of tabs and line feeds, etc.. When I saved the file as text or text with line feeds the format is lost and the paragraphs looks like this: 1 this is a word paragraph that has a NUMBER then a TAB then a bush of text like this ahsdk;h sd;hsd sd;hsd sd';hds';sd sd'hsd'hsd 'h ;shdf;hsd; f;'hs'fjh'ag'hg'h......and more text. 2 this is the second paragraph with more text 'j'j'gj dfgjlkgl slglsd dslglsdglgsd;fh;sfd;hdsf ;'hh;sdf;hs ;hsdf;hs;sdf;h;sha;has hsadh; sdlgls;dggsd;;sd;h.....and more text As one can see that the paragraph margins are lost and the line between the paragraph are lost also. is there a way, so that the lines are padded with blank characters to keep the same format? any suggestions? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /\ ! ~~~~Hayaa Ala-falaah Abdennour Moussaoui || _~_~_ Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Oregon State University ||(_____) Laa Illaha Ila Allah~~~~ email=abdenour@mist.cs.orst.edu |||_|_|_|
