Thank you. This is a great utility, with it I have been able to more 
or less sort out my problem. For some as yet to be discovered reason 
my Impression exports from version2 of Organizer have the colour 
strings all wrong (I have never had problems with V1)

I have made a script (appended in case anyone else has this problem) 
which corrects these with the exception of orange, yellow and two of 
the grays, all of which exported with a black string:
 ({fontcolour rgb=(0,0,0)}) which the script changes to mid gray.


A programme which would work in the same way with an Impression 
document would be most useful (I know one can export it as a text 
document with styles, edit it and reimport it; however my documents 
tend to be made up of bits of saved sections with styles which somehow 
have {"style" on}s with out matching {"style" off}s. This works OK so 
long as each bit is added to the start of the document, but if then  
exported as text has to be corrected before it will reimport corectly)
