Hi,

Firstly Clive Bonsall posted from a non-subscribed address saying

"
There are various standalone and web-based PDF to WORD converters. Adobe Acrobat can do this. Also take a look at

https://www.pdftoword.com/

"

In passing, time was when if you posted from a non-subscribed address, your message would bounce to me, and I could then forward it to the list.

Recently so much spam is being directed at the list, I can no longer screen the bounces. Chances are if you don't post from the address you're subscribed with, your message will be lost.

Turing to my reply - I'm sorry, export support from Ovation Pro *is* poor.

There has been no improvement in the last 10 years. Ovation Pro is open, anyone who wants to can write code to export with styles or whatever.

Perhaps one could comment that there's a big gap between transparent conversion from OPro to Word, and simply preserving effects like bold and italics.

One might also wonder what is going to happen at the destination, are they going to publish your Word document or just copy the text out of it and process it themselves.
