stripping out Word formating

[John MilburySteen]

Hi Front Page gurus,
I want to move text (poetry) from MS Word into FP 2003 using cut and
paste. Every line of poetry in Word looks like this:
<p MSO Normal>This is a line of text.</p>

(I'm not sure if I remember the first formating stuff correctly.) In FP I
want it to appear as

This is a line of text.<br>

What is the easiest way to do this? That is, how do you strip Word's
formating out and put a soft return at the end of each line without a lot of
editing using REPLACE?

I use FP2003:

I would just copy the poem and paste it below your existing poem for the
moment.

Do: Insert, break from the menu bar after the lines you want to appear
on the next line.

When you get this second poem the way you want it, delete the original
first one.


Good luck,
