This was probably covered before but... How can I convert a WriteNow document to ASCII and still preserve the tabs and spaces? I tried selecting the entire document and then pasting it into an Edit window. This converts it to ASCII but removes the tabbing. Is there something I could do to the document while it is in WriteNow? Is there a filter to do this somewhere?

You could try saving it as ASCII text, then using the Unix unexpand
command.

Well, the Save as Ascii with line breaks was real close to the same. It still dosen't preserve all of the spacing...
