HOW TO IMPORT/ EXPORT TEXT TO/FROM GEOWRITE

Question: I would love to transfer text files from my other word processor to geo write. Is it possible? (from Scott747)

Yep. Here's how:
1. Start the "other word processor" and call up your document. Save it as ascii text. Be sure to give it a new name so your origional document won't be overwritten.

2. Start GeoWrite. Click (press left mouse button) on FILES, click on Import From Text File. You will see the regular GeoWorks file selection window with your GeoWorks directory displayed. Go to the directory or drive where your ascii text file was saved, highlight that file, and click on IMPORT.

NOTE: Before importing, you way wish to select the URW Mono font. With this font, all letters are the same size (eg. M doesn't take up more room than I> so any colums or indents in your ascii file will still be formatted  correctly. To do this, click on FONTS, click on URW Mono.

To EXPORT from Geowrite to another word processor, you must follow the above process in reverse. Save the file as an ascii text file from Geowrite, then import from ascii into your other word processor. To save a file in GeoWrite as ascii, click in FILES, click on Save As Text File, and give it a name.
