- This is true, however some formatting is lost in the translation. If you are
- only doing this once in a while, then this procedure is fine. If you are doing
- it frequently, it becomes burdonsome. I was doing it every day, and finally
- purchased an A2286 Bridge Board so that I could run WP51. I write, and could
- not keep reformatting 200+ pages. (I only tried this a couple of times before I
- gave up).

- Good Luck.
