Don't know Wordpad too well. You should be able to 'Save as text' and then
open the text file. You'll probably loose any formatting but it will save having to re-type the document. Regards. Bill Ridgeway Computer Solutions wrote in message oups.com...

Wordpad by default saves as a *.rtf file which is compatible with MS Word. Open the files with Wordpad then re-save. When re-saving the file in Wordpad, save as file type*.txt Excrl will open *.txt files nicely. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On 4 Aug 2006 15:15:47 -0700, wrote: Hi Everyone, I have a problem.
