I am new to ascii art and have a question which probably has an obvious
answer but I couldn't find it in the FAQ I had.
When I download, for instance, ascii art files from the ftp.mcs.com
archive and save them as MS Word documents and then try to look at them,
they come out totally screwed up.
Also, copying them from the newsgroup and pasting them into another
document--or even opening them in the clipboard produces the same result.
What am I doing wrong? TIA.
