I have posted under traditional VB since that is what I am using but it seems this could be viewed as an office problem

Word 2003 removed the save as "text with layout"
option which is what I used.
I am looking to take an RTF file from word and make a text file that has only spaces and CR/LF
BUT
I need to save the layout so an indented paragraph should have spaces added to the line so that it lines up like it used to.
