I downloaded the office 2007 suite and am converting files for a client that
are from various writers that are in .doc format into .txt format.
Everything was fine until I reached the last batch of articles to be
converted and the 2nd to last one when I had finished the copy of text and
started to paste into NotePad I glanced at the word doc and noticed that it
was putting lines across of doc and had the words footnote at the bottom.
When I went to do the next conversion, the same thing happened...weird I
thought.
The next day I wanted to Paste an original article I wrote in Notepad to
word 2007 and it put all the text smashed up to the left 1/3 of the documents
body leaving all the rest blank...now I never change the format and have
always left all the margins etc. as it is when the trial first opened. All I
use word for is to check spelling and grammar for me; or to do as I was doing
with that one client converting doc to .txt.
In other words I basically copy and paste back and forth using only the
spell check and grammar check functions.
This is how I know I did not change any formats and it had to be somekind of
format picked up from one of the .doc documents I was converting to notepad.
The writer must have had a format in there that is messing with my printer
format or some kind of universal format.
Now when I try to paste into say Wordperfect or even paste into yahoo email
message body the same "all text flush with the left side of the message body
happens.
This is so frustrating.
Is this a format thing within the word document? Is it a format error that
somehow copied from how that particular writer had her document set up that
went onto my computer somehow (like to the printer format settings...someone
suggested that to me offline).
I need help fast as this is impacting my own freelance writer business as
you can imagine.
Thanks in advance.
