Typically, the menu allows a "Save As..." option, which you would use to accomplish this. Normally there is a field at the bottom of the window which allows you to select the format of the output file. In this case, of course, you want "text" or "*.txt". -- Eryndlia Mavourneen (KK1T)

Brilliant!

This is the solution !!!!

I have tried using the .txt file extension now when I save from MS Word and it owrks atreat - it enables me to go ahead and encrypt.

This is what Iv'e always wanted all along.

I never before took any notice of that options menu at the bottom - live and learn.

Have you any more advice???

I am truly grateful to you for this invaluable advice.

Many thanks,

Austin
