i need a program for Word where you can convert something from the third person to the second person

colon_closed_bracket [Edit] [Delete] 23 replies 12:26, 13 August '13

So for instance:

Client has two debts with her utility provider and about £10,000 of unsecured debt

becomes

You have two debts with your utility provider and about £10,000 of unsecured debt

does such a thing exist?

  • I think Word plugins are fairly unusual things. Not sure how easy they are to write

    although, I think docx files are pretty easy to work with. Couldn't you just write a choose your own adventure book from scratch?

  • You used to work on the docks

    Union has been on strike
    You're down on your luck
    It's tough, so tough
    You work at the diner all day
    Working for your man, you brings home your pay for love
    For love

    You say, "I've got to hold on to what I've got
    Cause it doesn't make a difference
    If I make it or not
    I've got myself and that's a lot
    For love
    I'll give it a shot"
    Woah
