So, what you will have to do is to PUT the text into a table, then convert the table to text (with commas, or tabs, or whatever as a field delimiter), then save the file as a TEXT file with an extension of CSV.

Thanks, Murray. I'll try that!!! "Murray *TMM*" <forums (AT) HAHAgreat-web-sights (DOT) com> wrote in message news:cf01cf$dn5$1 (AT) forums (DOT) macromedia.com... MX was not so good with Word files. If it were DMX2004, I'd say just create a new page, use FILE | Import Word Document and be done with it (after some good proofreading). With MX, you may need to preprocess the Word document by exporting the text into a comma separated file and importing it. -- Murray --- ICQ 71997575 Team Macromedia Volunteer for Dreamweaver (If you *MUST* email me, don't LAUGH when you do so!) ================== http://www.dreamweavermx-templates.com - Template Triage! http://www.projectseven.com/go - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.dwfaq.com - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.macromedia.com/support/search/ - Macromedia (MM) Technotes ================== "Jenna" <jennaw707 (AT) NOSPAMhotmail (DOT) com> wrote in message news:cf019l$dkn$1 (AT) forums (DOT) macromedia.com...

I do maintenance on several websites. The problem seems to be that when they send the information, whether in an email or as an attachment (usually Word), there is a problem with things that are indented, for instance: September 4, 2004 Festival of Trees, 6pm to 8pm Contact Sr. Teresa September 10, 2004 Friendship Day, 3pm to 4pm Contact Fr. John When you try to put information like this into a DW page, is there any way to bring it into a table so that the margins line up neatly?? I can't seem to find a way to do this. I have to laboriously cut and paste all the fields into a table, and it takes up a lot of time. Anyone know a slick way to convert data like this into a table??? Jenna |
