Path: utzoo!attcan!uunet!husc6!uwvax!dogie!rhesus!dubois From: dubois@rhesus.primate.wisc.edu (Old Sneep) Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac Subject: FullWrite/MakeWrite Message-ID: <328@rhesus.primate.wisc.edu> Date: 31 May 88 18:47:56 GMT Organization: The Ancient Harmonies Lines: 19 I am told that someone asked here whether FullWrite can take a plain text file with embedded formatting commands and produce a document with the ask-for formatting. I see Ed Moy has already observed that MakeWrite will do this to a limited extent, producing a MacWrite document. There is a problem with MakeWrite, in that files produced this way are sometimes not importable into other word processors. For instance, imports of MakeWrite files into Ready Set Go fail. On the other hand, I am also told that if you read the MakeWrite-produced file into MacWrite and save it *under another name* and import the second file into RSG, it works. I don't know whether this is true from my own experience, but if so, this information may be of some relevance to the question regarding FullWrite. --- Paul DuBois UUCP: {allegra,ihnp4,uunet}!uwvax!rhesus!dubois | ARPA: dubois@rhesus.primate.wisc.edu --+-- | alt.sex: just say rmgroup. |
