But if I save the file to text, won't it lose its formatting? More specifically, here's what I have: a four-page calendar, each page with three months on it. The months are in tables, which is why I don't think making a text file will help me here, because I'll lose all that. What I need to do is renumber all the dates, basically replacing a number with itself minus 1. So it's not a simple find/replace task, and there doesn't seem to be a way to do this in Word's find/replace feature (but if there is, please let me know!) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
