Subject:Re: Convert Korean Documents From:"Cramer, Kim" <kcramer -at- NCSLINK -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 15 Oct 1997 16:59:00 -0700
Roger Hadley asked:
Does anyone know about converting documents from Korean word-processing
programs? I am working on some doctoral dissertations from Korea. I
would
like to convert to FrameMaker or Word. The documents were written (in
English) using an unknown Korean program. We are trying to get the
people
in Korea to give them to us in an Asian version of Word, which we have
been
able to convert successfully. However, the language/distance/time
obstacles
have made this process slow, and we are waiting, waiting . . . I would
like to start on the project as soon as possible. Does anyone have any
clues?
****
Roger - how about having them send you straight ascii text files of the
dissertations? Most programs produce them and most programs can import
them. Sure, you'd have to do some formatting, but you could make it
just the way you want without dealing with any odd styles they might
have created.
