Notes

  • Most of these routines require TEXT files as their input. A text file is a simple file that contains no codes for emphasis, font sizes, etc. To transform a Word file into a text file, simply SAVE it AS text. You will not thereby lose the original file, but create an additional text file (identifiable by the .txt extension).

  • These routines take their file inputs from a menu that accesses the hard drive; they have not been adapted for copy-paste text entry.

  • For complex jobs, combine routines (e.g., first strip tags of html file, save as text file, then build list or extract sentences).
