TEXT CONVERSION

You may come across documents that use different fonts (or code tables) from the standard font set. The result is garbled and unreadable text as can be seen from the Russian example below:

Text Converter allows you to convert your document to readable text by simply dragging the file (or many files) and dropping it on the Text Converter icon located on the Windows desktop.

 

In the Text Converter windows choose the conversion method (From and To Code Tables) and click OK.

 

The converted file will be saved as yourfilename.CNV.txt which you can open again in your word-processor.

 

Text Converter Editor

    • cp1250 Windows Central European
