Re: Save Word Doc as ASCII Text and set line width?

Thanks, this looks like it'll work.
On the formatting, though, is wdFormatTextLineBreaks consistent with
ASCII? The intended goal is to cut and paste the Word document into
some legacy system I'm unfamiliar with, but that's said to require
ASCII. My guess is that means it probably wouldn't understand the
accented E input?

Hi djconnor

The key to setting the line length to 69 characters is to proceed as follows
before you save the document.

1. Format all text in the document using a fixed-width font such as Courier
New and with a common font size

2. Adjust the margins so that the line width accommodates no more than 69
characters

To get the accented E to appear OK in the text file, save as
wdFormatTextLineBreaks, not as wdFormatDOSTextLineBreaks.
