Is it possible to go from word to vB without having to tag all the fonts and sizes accordingly? Is there some software that can transfer a word doc. to vB code without any input from me? Maybe it`s already on my computer (either in word or vB)?

It sure would make my life easier. Help me out here.

I Know, I should have asked this around my 90th post not my 900th.

Hmm. I dunno. At first I thought what **Mangetout** did over [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=156572) might be useful, but on closer inspection, I think not.

Maybe there is, maybe there isn’t, or maybe this is another job for \<drumroll\> … \*\* Eat-All Man!\*\*
