Why can you not encrypt the formatted, word-processed file directly? Isn't this what the receiver would prefer? -- Eryndlia Mavourneen (KK1T)

I think I will just say in the usergude what I have been doing during the development work which is to create a file in a wordprocessor, format it, copy 'n paste it into the AdaGIDE editor, save it there where it will appear in the main folder and open for encryption when I need it.  This is sure fire and works very nicely. If users want to do something else then so be it.

I would like to be more au fait with it all though for my general peace of mind.

Still welcoming suggestions.

Is it right for me to think that the AdaGIDE editor and compiler are not amenable to files created in other software being copied in directly?? what say you O' Scribe.
