Hi =?Utf-8?B?RGFuaWVs?=,
I have several Word documents and Office 2003 pro, and these documents have
indented bulleted lists. I'd like to save them as text files, with tabs
replacing the indentations. Old versions of Word used to have an option to
save as text with layout, but that is gone in Office 2003 pro. So, is there
any way of saving as text with tabs?
If you still have the disks from an older version you should be able to
install just the converters you need. They will continue to work under Word
2003. MS discontinued them because they were obtained from third-parties who
no longer exist, and can therefore not digitally sign the code (security
considerations).
It's also possible to contact MS support and request the old converters
package. In order to get the converter, you need to contact MS Support and
reference this KB article (read it first!):
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=822346
They should provide you the converter in question as a download. And they
should not charge you. If they try to charge you, note the case number and
post back to me, here.
Finally, I think Graham Mayor has them on his website (although strictly
speaking it's not legal for him to provide them):
