Saving a Word file as ASCII/Text only
If you want to send a file to someone by pine e-mail it is necessary (for
all practical purposes) to
- save it as ASCII (also called 'text only')
- move it to Liberty using FTP (Fetch in the Mac world)
- move it from your Liberty home directory into pine (using the pine
command <CONTROL> r)
To save a Word file as ASCII:
- Put a disk in the drive
- From the File menu choose 'Save As'
- Locate the icon for your disk (click on Desktop)
- Type a filename in the "Save Current Document As" box
- The default save is as a Word document ('Normal'). To save as
ASCII/Text Only, click on the down-pointing arrow under "Save File as
Type", hold down the mouse button, move to "Text Only", and release the
mouse button
