We have spent the day trying to untangle the tentacles of MS Word from 4 relatively small files I thought I would run a fast conversion on. Wrong. Use Word Perfect. It produces actual HTML that we can convert. It does not scatter 3 lines of code into a document to...

…eliminate the gappiness in the scanned files, no problem. I was killing myself trying to do it in Namo, and Word Perfect straightened it out like a champion. My brother sent me the cover sketches that didn’t get broken, so we’re great with...
