Good idea, David. I hadn’t considered that. I tried opening it in Word 2011 and the text boxes didn’t come through — only the tables did. And Excel 2011 doesn’t offer RTF or .docx export, as far as I can see. I tried changing the extension to .docx; Word didn’t like that and judged the file corrupt.

By the way, in the script above, you can delete the single-line
‘textbox_text’.
It was there just as a debug. And I guess the 2 find/change grep lines could be removed too.
