Ahh, some things are coming back to me (it is interesting getting old -- among 
other things, I'm remembering things from long ago that I had forgotten -- I 
sort of wonder if that is a slow motion version of my life flashing before my 
eyes which might mean I'm in deep trouble ;-)

Anyway, I now remember that there were at least two ways that I found to do 
that in the Microsoft world -- one was a standalone utility, which name I 
still don't remember, but the other was a feature built into Microsoft Word 
(at least in the versions I used 20 to 30 years ago).

I don't know if [Libre | Open] Office has a similar feature.

Far aside: I am remembering that I once wrote a literate program (ala Knuth) 
in Microsoft Word (and it worked) -- I could (easily compile it from the Word 
document, or view it with or without the "literacy".  Unfortunately, the 
client company went out of business before the program was put in service.  
(Wouldn't you be worried if you remembered something like that ;-)
