My god man, you like to work ;) As a short term, I'd probably do the same, but in the long term I'd start thinking there has to be a different way. I hope that you have some sort of macro system to at least automate it.
For example, I managed to take an archive of 'The Shadow' pulp stories and convert them to Palm Doc format (I can plucker them any time if you guys want to house them). After the second one, I build a MSWord Macro and assigned it to a button. I then loaded over one hundred of them at once (PC crawled), but then I just clicked the button, it did the work, saved as TXT format and closed the document, leaving the next one open and in the foreground. --Wes Byron Collins said: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Meredydd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 1:36 PM > Subject: Project Gutenberg > > >> >> I've constructed a generalised framework for format conversion, which >> can manage both lossless (from an XML master) and lossless >> (heuristics-based) transformations, of which there are demos on the PG >> site.
