Macro for converting Unicode into ASCII?

[wie]

Has anybody a Word-Macro to convert Greek Unicode into normal ASCII or the Bibleworks format?
I know I can create it myself, but if someone already has it? I think this would be of general benefit.

Hi Wieland,

Ricardo Román shared two macros with me back in the Topica days... One is to convert Unicode to BWGRKL and the other to convert Unicode into CCAT format.

I am attaching a text file with the macros within it.

Enjoy!

Thank you very much!

Big thanks to Ricardo "Gandalf" Román! He's the one who put this macro together, and it has been quite "configurable" for various other font conversions. It was the basis for the "drogulin" macro posted on my personal website (linked in my signature below).

That is great! Don't suppose anyone has a macro to go from Bwgrkl to unicode?

...a macro to go from Bwgrkl to unicode...

I just reversed one of the macros that I posted earlier and did some quick "tweaking." It has worked so far. See attachment.

WARNING! This macro changes ALL TEXT in a document into Palatino Linotype in the Greek font ranges! So, this means you would have to "cut and paste" from BibleWorks into an "conversion document," run the macro, and then copy from that into your text.

There's gotta be an easier way!

And there IS an easier way!

I was just reminded of a macro that John Kendall developed that finds the bwgrkl text and changes it, while leaving the rest of your text free of any change!
