Re: Tool to clean up MS Word (2003)

["Kathleen MacDowell" <kathleen -at- writefortheuser -dot- com>]

Well, it's happened, though it hasn't been a year! (anyone remember
this thread?)

I used to have a (free) tool called Plain Text (I think) that you used
as follows (on PC):

1. copy the formatted text
2. click on the PT icon (desktop or taskbar)
3. paste the unformatted text into the new location

I don't recall who wrote the tool, or which list told me about it;
it's been several years. I'm getting way too many hits when I google
Plain Text and when I search my gmail account.

Anyone recall this program? If you even have a good search term, that
would be fine. Sometimes I'm just not approaching the concept
correctly :-)

TIA

Kathleen
