The export text to RTF works great. The only issue I have now is that the document is split into a million little sections (stories). So that's not going to work either. Well, okay. It will be a slow go though.

Of course, it beats the heck out of retyping. The PDF to RTF did lose the style name information and some other items. I might be doing it wrong though or the smaller sections might be causing some major issues.

Thanks to all who answered me. I appreciate it so very much.

Bill,

Yes, you could do that, but you would lose all the style-name information, possibly get a lot of extra hard line endings, add all sorts of extraneous typographic problems (tight and loose lines, etc., that are hard to clear manually). It might work for a simple enough document, but so far I have not been thrilled with the PDF to RTF conversion, whereas I have used the PageMaker RTF export function to great advantage.
