Hi ?B?QU1lcmNlcg==?=,

What I really want is the file transformation of Word's SaveAs Plain Text
but without any Word baggage at all. I have a Visual Basic .NET string
variable with the text of a url (what you see with IE View Source), and what
I want is a function that returns a string with all the html stripped out (ie
what SaveAs does but without any file IO). The .NET documentation hints at
converters of this sort, but a hint leaves me short.

Two possibilities come to mind.

1. Just read the document text into a string variable:
sDocContent = doc.Range.Text

2. Copy the text to the Clipboard, then use the PasteSpecial functionality to
paste as plain text

have been better for your question. You'd have likely gotten a reply long before
this...
