TXT file conversion to DOC?

[Guest]

Are there any methods or tools that will convert documents written in MS DOS
txt to a formatted Word document? The txt document has a TOC and about 100
pages. To go in and manually change various lines of text to a Word style
would be an arduous task.

The tool is a skilled Word user. Nothing will automatically format plain
text into a formatted document.

I was afraid that that would be the response. Thank you both!

If it is actually an MS DOS text file (.txt) you should be able to simply
use the typical File> Open method, then Save As a .doc - have you not been
able to do so?

I'm afraid, though, that you'll have to do the formatting yourself - text
files carry *no* information with regard to formatting, so there's nothing
to be "converted" other than the plain text content. Word _does_ have an
AutoFormat feature, but how successful it might be for any given file is
quite "iffy" on a good day

If this info doesn't answer your question supply more detail about your
objective, your attempts/results & specify what version of Word you're
using.
