dots. With just a little user
input and a few mouse clicks you now can convert portions of Hebrew text into your
desired format. Released November 12, 2007.

converter is a series of macros embedded in a Microsoft Word file. You
simply copy the appropriate macros into each of the Word files you receive that
contain LaserGreek text and run the macros to convert the text to the
LaserGreek arrangement of your computer platform. The macros do not
affect any other text in your files except the LaserGreek (and/or LaserGreek II)
text, allowing you to retain your file's original formatting. The LaserGreek
CrossPlatform Converter makes a daunting task simple. Released September 5,

Two new macros have been added to the
LaserGreek Converter. Have you ever received a Word-formatted file
containing LaserGreek or LaserGreek II text from someone using the "other"
computer platform from the one you use? (That is, you are in Windows and you receive
a Word for Macintosh file, or vice versa.) When you open the Word file the Latin text and most of the Greek is fine but some of the
Greek accents and breathing marks, and the text critical symbols and
sigla have been corrupted. This is because Word's export/import filters are
expecting all text in the document to be in the Latin 1 character set
(English and west European languages), and Word
does not know how to convert the LaserGreek text. Until now the only
solution was to save the original document as plain text, transfer the
document, and carefully reformat it. But the LaserGreek
Converter now includes a macro that converts the Greek text in
Word-formatted files, making it unnecessary to transfer files as plain text.
This makes the LaserGreek Converter a valuable tool for those who are
collaborating in a mixed-platform (Mac/Windows) environment. Released March
9, 2006; updated May 9, 2006.
