As for WORD (.doc) format, this is a proprietary format used by Microsoft, and really has very little to do with the AS/400. I wouldn't expect to be able to find info on creating files in WORD format in an IBM book. You could try searching the internet, I imagine you'd find some info there. You might also look at www.microsoft.com -- but if you're like me you'll have a hard time finding what you want there :) A better (IMHO) solution is to use a format thats not proprietary. If plain text will work, use that -- its a lot easier. If not, maybe HTML? If HTML is still too limited, PDF might be an option. +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
