How do I save using "MS-DOS TEXT W/ LAYOUT" in Office 2003?
In office versions prior to 2003 when I save a file there is an option in the
drop down box that says "MS-DOS Text with Layout". This option is NOT available in Office 2003. I use a Scriptware software for saving my scripts and this option is needed in order for Scriptware to convert all the proper formatting. Scriptware wants the file to have a ".ASC" extension and this option does that. Is there a workaround here or is that option available somehow and I just missed it when I installed Office 2003. I'd appreciate any information on this. Thanks! |

Allen-
I use Word 2003 and that option is in the Save As type: list as usual. Nothing about my copy of the program has been modified to add it, just a normal installation. Could it be that the script you're running was written to select file type based on its position in the list in a specific version of Word? The list has been updated to include other items, so if the script is looking to line 5 instead of line 9 it will select a type it can't use. Perhaps the script needs to be updated... Just a thought.

Select "Plain text." You will get a dialog box allowing you to select the
flavor you want. -- Suzanne S.
