cannot import a MS word file into field

[Dan Shafer]

Ban....

Once again, I encourage you to invest some real time to learn  
Transcript and Revolution. It seems to me you have tried to jump into  
the middle of Revolution, expecting that every time you try to do  
something that doesn't quite work as you expect, someone on this list  
will help you sort it out. That may even happen but in the long run,  
you're not going to be very happy with the experience because you  
won't really *understand* Rev or Transcript very well.

Transcript's very approachable syntax can give one the false  
impression that the tool and the language are so easy that it  
shouldn't be necessary to spend much time learning it.
