MS Word VBA - Please Help

[zduck]

I need to find out how to retrieve the document's content text in plain text format. if I use Document.Content.Text it gives me wierd little boxes and really makes it look ugly. I want it to give me back what it gives when you save to a .txt file or send as a plain text email.

Please help

Thanks

i never had problems with document.content, it returns the full text of the document. What do you want to do with it?

I'm taking what it returns and saving it as part of an XML file. But it turns either carrage return or line feed characters to little boxes.
