Collapsing and Expanding Subdocuments
One of the biggest problems in formatting what was previously an ASCII file is modifying it so there are only hard returns at the end of paragraphs. Most ASCII files have a hard return at the end of every line of the file, and two hard returns at the end of every paragraph. If you have an ASCII file that is formatted like this, such as something you downloaded off the Internet, the following WordBasic macro will be invaluable. It formats an entire file so there are only hard returns at the end of paragraphs.
Sub MAIN

Fmt("^p^p", "{|}")
Fmt("^p", " {@}")
Fmt(" {@}", " ")
Fmt("{@}", " ")

EditReplace .Find = FromWord$, .Replace = ToWord$, .WholeWord = 0, \
.MatchCase = 0, .Format = 0, .ReplaceAll = 1
End Sub

Great Idea! Word is a tool to get what you really want—printed output. This means you need to make sure that Word works as well as possible with your printer, whether it is sitting on your desk or in a room down the hall.
