Greetings
Last week I asked how to convert to Frame from Ventura for DOS without having
the correct filters.
No one replied. But hey, I'm not bitter. Left to my own devices, I developed a
procedure to boldly:
1. import txt part of doc
2. find formatting tokens
3. convert paragraph styles according to tokens
4. strip out tokens
5. export to RTF
6. import to Frame
I suspect this sort of thing could come in handy again. Anyone wanting techno
details about macro coding is welcome to write me offline at

Virtually yours, John
