You didn't say you wanted to maintain the 'text only' version.
I'd do some googling on this, I'm sure the macros already exist if you can't
get the one Edgar supplied to work.
Thought: Not sure what state Word's HTML output ends up in, but have you
tried saving the HTML and just manually deleting the images from the output
folder? You'll either end up with lots of "red x" placeholders or if you are
lucky the browser might just pretend they were never there in the first
place... Just a thought, and not really a solution!

Subject: Re: Text only documents
Gordon,
If I delete the images I will then have to maintain two separate copies of
the user manual - one with graphics and one without. If I could produce a
text only using the same source it would be better.
Edgar,
I tried to run the macro but i dont know why it doesnt run :(. Can you
please guide me through I'm not sure what am i doing wrong.
