You could probably save the file as a .txt file in word. Word will warn you that you may lose some formatting, and that's what you want to do.
Hope this helps.

I have copied some text from a word document I downloaded from the net. However, the copied text, still has the headings imbedded from the original document. I know this, because Jaws says "heading" before the relevant text. Deleting the heading doesn't seem to be working. Is there anything else i can do to remove this and any other imbedded formatting like tables etc? I am using word 2003, XP home and Jaws 12.
