Hi Bob
Elementary is fine.
It has all worked out this way.
Open terminal and type;
Welcome to Darwin!
George-Ghios-Computer:~ georgeghio$ cd /Users/georgeghio/Desktop/TeX
Hit return & type
George-Ghios-Computer:~/Desktop/TeX georgeghio$ htlatex
/Users/georgeghio/Desktop/TeX/TheFlight.tex
Hit return I then get the html file,
I then open the html file with Explorer,
Select all,
Copy,
Paste into word.
If I try to open the html file with word MS does what it does best and
crashes.
Oh well, it works and I end up with a word document.
Thank you and everyone else for taking the time to keep me from
becoming a basket case.
