Awright, guys, I see a dog and pony show coming...
Here's how it works:
When I OCR it, I create an output file that goes to just
about anything I want.
I usually output to Word, and then save as .txt's or .rtf's
as needed, but I *typically* also save as .pdf's secondarily.
Since it goes into Word, I also have the option of saving as .html .
The document, in whatever form, *should* appear just like the original.

Oh, I'm Weyland, have been here from the beginning, but don't post
because my life is too busy already.
I save all the lessons in a separate folder so I can view them at a later
date when the Nornz allow.

Svanni, knows the tagline of my life:
"Mosh'n wit' da Nornz"

If you all have a specific need, have Svanni get me,
as I usually don't read stuff from here, yet, and
right now I'm busy with the ANA Moot and life.

Weyland Smith
