[Newlug] Cutting and pasting text from a box in this Microsoft Word document to a web site

     I had tried to save it as a .TXT format, but hadn't thought about
trying other formats.  I just tried saving it in .XML format as well as a
couple of other Word formats, then opening the resulting documents using
Notepad and searching for the word September.  Unfortunately, none of the
other formats showed any legible data.  

     This guy needs to get the survey into his boss today, so he's going to
retype all the info into the web page manually. 

     Thanks for your suggestion!  

Mike
