True, this had not been a problem if the output from Word had been consistent. Anyway, Joe Touch has been updating these tools and you can find them at: http://www.isi.edu/touch/tools/ > For example, when printing directly from Word (rather > than first producing the ASCII and then printing) > the margins are all wrong. True, printing directly is a missing feature of the tools provided by RFC 3285. Joe's version fixes this, so you should be happy with his version also for that reason. > Also, certain combinations of characters I use in ASCII art > cause (for some unknown and undocumented reason) > strange unprintable characters to appear in the ASCII version. Probably this is because you have used characters not part of 7-bit ASCII. It is a good idea to always turn off the auto-correct features of Word, otherwise you will probably get strange characters.
