Typically, the menu allows a "Save As..." opt= ion, which you would use to accomplish this. Normally there is a field at t= he 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 Mav= ourneen (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 an= d learn. Have you any more advice??? I am truly grateful to you for this invaluable advice. Many thanks, Austin
