[comp.sys.mac.misc] request for hints: WordPerfect -> generic text conversion

sjn@mahogany.cray.com (Scott Narveson) (01/05/91)

I'm posting this on behalf of a secretary here who does most of her
work in a MAC II environment, using WordPerfect (a recent version --
5.0?).  She is occasionally asked to generate an "emailable" version of
her documents, and doesn't know of easy ways to do this (she tends to
save the document in mactext format, transfers the stuff to a Unix
system, and then ends up doing a bunch of hand-reformatting in vi).  I
have precious little Mac experience, and so couldn't offer any
suggestions to her, but it seems to me that there must be a Better Way
of handling this "print as text" function than she's currently using.
Can anyone offer suggestions?

Sorry to be asking such a basic question that's no doubt been addressed
many times before in the Mac groups; please direct me to the location
of a FAQ list if one exists.  Also, since I don't regularly follow this
group, please respond by email -- I'll post a summary of replies if
there's enough interest.

Thanks in advance!
