Translating into plain language

[Julia]

I heard that Word has a feature that will convert a
paragraph of legal, complicated text into everyday, plain
language. I can get it to convert into a variety of
foreign languagaes, but not simple English. Does anyone
know how to do this?

Answered in word.conversions. Please don't multipost.

In the Microsoft Word newsgroups it is considered bad form to post separate
messages to multiple newsgroups. If you need to post in more than one forum
(unusual) please post a single message with both forums in the header of
that single message. That way (1) your question and the various answers stay
together, (2) less space is used on the news servers, (3) less bandwidth is
used on the Internet, (4) you only have to check one forum for answers that
appear in both forums, and (5) you won't unnecessarily annoy the people you
are asking for help. This isn't meant to criticize you. We were all
beginners once and the only way to learn is to try. (BTW, a number of the
Microsoft newsgroups don't want posting in more than one newsgroup, period.
Check the FAQ.)
Take a look on the MVP FAQ website under "getting help" for more reasons ase
well as other suggestions for getting answers more easily and quickly. <URL:

Hi Julia

Sounds like the "Delete" key to me! (Sorry could not resist), but I've never heard of
such a beast. Language to language translations easy compared to content to content
translation.

HTH + Cheers - Peter
