from [log in to unmask] Have you tried Calibre? http://calibre-ebook.com/ It is useful in reading and converting ebooks to different formats. I also save news articles with text & images to pdf format via PDF-Creator. Just now, I opened one of them with Calibre & converted it to RTF. The resulting file could be opened and read in WordPerfect X3 and Open Office. The font size and paragraphing needed to be tweaked, but the text and images were all there. I don't use MS-Word, so cannot comment on its abilities. --MP ********* M. Pollex <[log in to unmask]> Language Lab Coordinator Dept. of Languages Brandon, MB Canada
