To "maggie"

[Doug Harris]

I am all too aware of the problem requiring this fix, but I'd never
heard this term. So. . . when you cited it, I went in search of more
info. Here, for anyone who cares, is a detailed run-down on the fix
AND a citation on the fix name's origin:
http://www.creativepro.com/article/microsoft-word-creative-pros

It appears the same source can be a wonderful, um, source of lots more
helpful Word-related fixes, too. I know _I_ will be doing some reading
on that site.

Do we-all know this?

>Maggie is an eponymous term for a procedure devised to clean up a corrupted

>One *copies* the whole file, except for the last paragraph  mark into a new
>RTF.
>
>Alternatively, one can apply the procedure to an individual paragraph, and
>then paste it back into the original file.

>I do not wish to sound omniscient, but learned it from the Word-PC list.
