I have a word macro enable file (name is "Original") that has a lot of formating on it and would like to save it in plain text format.

After this I would like to copy back the plain text format into the same word document (if possible--by erasing the old content in the original file)

I'm having a lot of issues trying to take out all the formatting from the original document.

What I'm doing right now is to save the content in plain text to notepad, erase the content on the word file and copy back the text information that is in notepad and copy back to the word file.

I would like to know if someone can help automating these steps.

Your help is appreciated.

Cheers!
