How do I save a file as an ASCII file?
When I've saved as a plain text file from word it creates the *.txt file but
some of my formatting is lost. However, when I save as a print file with continuous breaks, that doesn't happen. My next problem is that, although I've been able to open the file Word or Note Pad and it looks perfect, I have been unable to open the same file in another program that I use ASCII files with and it registers the first page # as 1947 and will not allow me to change to page #1. I've send the files to Tech Support of the other program and am waiting to hear from them as to what the problem is.

Only *some* of your formatting is lost?
