[Papyrus-L] Using Text Extract under Windows 7 with DOSBox

[Raisa Deber]

Yes, I've made it work.  What I do is save in older word file format  
(has to be Word 7/95), but I also installed Word for Dos in the  
DOSBox partition (Microsoft gives it away free).  That seems to do  
the trick.  But it does loose lots of formatting.
