Convert .txt file to .doc file with office 2007

H

I am trying to take a file with 178 pages from a .txt file to a .doc file. I
know that I can remane the extention to .doc and it will open in Word, but I
do not want to have to reformat the file. It needs to look the same in the
..doc as it does in the /txt file. I have tried renaming it to a .doc file
and it looses the :look" it has in the .txt file. I have tried copying and
pasting also, again lost the "look". Any suggestions? I cannot find a
conversion wizard to assit with this on Microsofts site either.

You should be able to just open it in Word. Start Word first, and then use
the Open dialog box (Ctrl+O). For file type, you can choose "All Files
(*.*)."

You may have to make a few changes in the Word document to make it match the
look of the .txt file; for example, changing the font, font size, and
margins to that of the .txt file and turning off widow and orphan control.
How much you do depends on how you want to use the document.
