How do I convert a Word document into an ASCII file?

Answer

 

Hi Irene,

 

The easiest way is to do a File > Save As and choose Plain text.

Alternatively you can copy and paste your text into Notepad (you will find this under Programs > Accessories).

Both of these methods will strip the text of all formatting (such as bullets, bold, underlining, etc.) to its raw format which is basically what ASCII is.

Please come back to us if you have more questions on this.
