Hi, One way would be to copy the text from each column in the Word output into a new document with each copied text below the previous. Then try to force line wrapping to 'unwrap' the lines back to normal page width settings. I would be willing to look at the document if you get stuck but it'd probably be a day or two before I have the time to sit and do it properly. In the meantime, someone else on the list may come up with a faster approach to it. Having no problems with PDFs usually and being able to use speech it's not a problem I've run across that many times before. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.
