I am looking for a xfnc or xcmd for hypercard which will allow me to
filter a Word file as I read it into a card field. Right now when I 
use the read command on a Word file, I get all sorts of formatting 
codes in the text. For a short piece this is not too bad, but if there
is a xfnc or xcmd which will strip the file of control codes as it is
read into the card field, this will make things much easier for me. I
am not able to program this myself, so I am not looking for source code:
I need the real thing!! This will be used in a reader/note-taking card
embedded in my bibliography stack. The idea is for the reader to be able
to open a Word file, copy pieces from it, and paste those pieces into
the Notes field of the apppropriate card/bib entry. Thanks for any help
or suggestions. I am using Jim's ID only temporarily, so please send m
mail to ucpage@tucc.bitnet. She will pass on any messages to me.
