Hi Brad,
I think what I did was to copy the document to the clipboard, paste it 
into a text file and then paste the text file version into a new .doc. I 
think there's a way of copying to the clipboard without the formatting, 
but I can't remember it. Anyway, the text document strips the format and 
then once it's back into a .doc, it's in the default Word format, 
aligned left with no columns.

Let me know what Mark says.
