boring, yet complicated
Jul. 5th, 2012 09:26 amToday, my job works like this:
1) Open up a long Word document.
2) Get the first ten pages, and copy-paste them into Notepad - so that it strips ALL the formatting.
3) Copy-paste from Notepad back into a non-formatted Word document. Fix all the issues that are still there.
4) Copy-paste from the non-formatted Word document, into a Word document that's formatted in a different way to the original Word document. Hurrah! Now it looks like it's supposed to!
5) Go back to the original Word document, grab the next ten pages, and start the whole process again.
This is going to take me hours...
