Quite time-consuming, but it worked. This sounds a bit like the solution I've just suggested. I save it as a TXT file first, because that removes all the original formatting. | |

Yes, we had the same idea! I thought that it would be possible to find a less time-consuming solution, but the most important thing is that it worked.
