news
I have a word doc that the author created columns in and I need to get
the raw text. If I save it as txt the formatting gets messed up.
When I look at the page (or print it) I see somthing like:
Date: xx/xx/xx Name: Fred
Time: xx:xx Occupation: Tech Support
When I save as text, or select, copy & paste in notepad, I see
something like:
Date: xx/xx/xx Name:
Time: xx:xx Occupation:
Fred
Tech Support
I have a lot more info on the page which makes it impossible for me to
parse it out. Is there a way to just remove the columns and preserve
the same text on the same line?
Thanks!
