(j3.2006) documents and votes (tempest in a teapot)

[Ian Chivers]

I have a number of tools to help with document handling
On both Windows and Linux platforms that I use in setting Fortran Forum.

I have to deal with a wide variety of document and image formats.

If someone makes available the docx files I'll see what I can do.

I don't have any Windows computers.  My LibreOffice has trouble with docx
files, frequently spraying characters in random fonts and sizes all over my
screen.  If it can't be converted to text, at least try to convert it to
pdf.  I think there's an "export as pdf" button in Word (but I don't know
for sure).
