I save Word documents in MSDOS TXT format to strip out
formatting. Recently this process has started stripping out
all the tabs and most of the CR's as well. It did not used
to. This happens with all text formats.

I want to remove everything except keyboard characters, tabs and CR's

Any ideas?

Peter,

You might try the following to clear formating in a Word document:

CTRL+A (select all)
CTRL+Q (clear all paragraph formatting)
CTRL+Spacebar (clear all character formatting)
CTRL+SHIFT+N (Apply normal formatting, remove indents,
remove tab stops)
