RE: Screen Capture Macro/Utility to Word

You won't see them in NotePad, except as funny characters, maybe, because 
NotePad is a text editor only. Word itself can do search/replace. You really 
need something that'll let you see the hex codes. TextPad is a fantastic text 
editor that also lets you open a file in binary mode. Then, once you figure out 
what ASCII code corresponds to the EBCDIC attribute byte, you can do searches 
in Word for these things. You want to search with wildcards between the 
attribute-setting byte and the attribute-reset-to-normal byte - that one is 
usually an x'20' in EBCDIC. Then, based on the attribute, change the format of 
what is found. 

Once you've done all the strings that are surrounded by the attribute bytess, 
you need to go back and change the attribute bytes themselves to blanks with no 
formatting.

You also want, in DSPPFM, to use F10 to see the hex code values, then compare 
to the ones in the ASCII version for how to map the attribute bytes to the 
proper format.

Good luck - and take a look at the Application Display Programming manual - I 
think there's a chart there of attribute byte values.
