Rick,

No problem. I've got it solved. I just copied the entire file to the 
clipboard and pasted it into an ordinary thing, a Notepad doc in this case. 
It all came out like relatively normal text, if somewhat squeezed together 
here and there.

Would not have contacted the sender, anyway.

Again, thanks.
Joel

I don't know enough maybe to be much help.

This would I think be one pretty easy and time saving way way for you.

I might just ask the person who sent you that Excel file to do the
following.

Ask him or her to open the Excel file the data.  And then use the SAVE AS
and resave the file in a format that you can use more easily.

I do not know Excel either. But it seems many programs have a way to save
files in a more universal format.

As Text or as Rich Text or a Word file, or something like that.

Hope that idea is okay and of some help.

Rik

chris,
Nothing to apologize for. Thanks for replying and trying to help. I didn't
notice any sarcasm, but I'll admit that sarcasm has been a problem on this
list for me, different from other lists to which I'm subscribed. It used to
come from one lister who harassed me for years, on this list and a couple of
others. but I no longer open any of his posts, so that rarely happens any
more. Oh, what fun.

I am writing this with jaws. I am using the latest Jaws 10. I am not off
topic. I'm not flaming anyone. Thank you.
