Thank you very much, I look forward to checking out the link you sent. I did save some documents as text using Adobe's own save feature, ... unfortunately that put the files into Word Pad which had some regrettable formatting results. Still they are accessible and I'm glad to be able to copy the portions I need and Duxbury works well with them so its worth the extra time to put the lines back together. But I'm definitely interested in alternatives, thanks for sharing.
