The shell is your friend. Check out textutil in the shell. (man textutil)
Mac OSX 10.4. and onward has document conversion routines built into the system. RTF, HTML, DOC, DOCX, WEBARCHIVE, ODT are some of the formats. Someone (please identify one's self in one's demo stacks!) has uploaded to REV ONLINE a very simple stack that demonstrates conversion to-from various text formats using shell calls. However, REV ONLINE, one of the most difficult to navigate and unresponsive parts of the IDE, is completely down today. Contact me offline if you really need the stack, the author has indicated he's giving it freely. However, the calls are so simple and well documented that it could be a good exercise in getting a shell call to work for you, just using the documentation. ------------------------- Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://houseofcubes.com/disco.irev On 27 January 2010 20:44, <dr.alist...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Curry, > > I'd be interested in having a look at the beta of the word export.
