[stylist] word to txt?

thanks Steve,
I'll look.

this is a table of information I'm needing to take in as a member of 
our city's Public Transit Advisory Committee so no problem about 
colaboration etc.  I'll play some with jaws, it has an experimenter 
mode where you hit keys and it tells you what they do.

thanks Steve,
