Hi all,

Well I managed from my first post to convert Finale .mus files to Word docs (.doc), and now I want to do the REVERSE of this

:- ie import a Word .doc into FinaleNotepad (or convert .doc to .mus).

Is this possible? If so how? Any help and ideas gratefully received ( I have only just thought of trying this myself and if I think a bit more I may come up with a way to do this- but I thought I'd ask here first and if anyone either knows a way or has suggestions if this is possible it would be very helpful for me).
I look forward to a reply/ies, many thanks,

Richard

What do you want to import into a .MUS document?

Text (e. g. a composer's biography)?

Graphics (e. g. a picture of a trumpet)?

Editable .MUS music notation?

You can select text, copy it to the Clipboard, and paste it into a text block in NotePad.

NotePad can neither import graphics nor music OCR.
You will need someone with Finale to do that for you.
