Re: pdf ... more OT stuff
Maybe I've just go the right combination.
i opened Acrobat reader 4.0 which is free. opened
a pdf document, went to edit, select all, then copy.
I went to word 97 opened a word document, and then selected
paste.............. all of the text was now in word format......... I did
loose some illustrations and some formatting, but all of the text was
imported.
is it the word 97 combination with acrobat 4.0 or is it because I
have the complete acrobat 4.0 program installed that it installed a link to
word 97 which works even though I just opened and used the acrobat reader
4.0 I go on the web??
Maybe it's magic..................
