    I have a question about the formatting of results from searches. [I'm
    relatively new to corpus linguistics and I apologise in advance if this
    quesiton is so basic.]

    I use the SARAH interface to BNC and Wordsmith tools for other corpora. I
    often take concordance results (say as ".xml" files) from my PC onto my Mac
    and open them up in Word. The key words then show up with their markup tags
    <kw> and </kw> but, of course, not any more nicely formatted with the key
    words centered. I've been manually putting tabs before <kw> and after </kw>
    and converting the concordance into a table. In that way I get the key
    words centered.

    There must be a more automatic way of getting the key words centered in my
    Word document on a Mac? Can anyone advise me on this? I thought the Qwick
    application could do this but that doesn't seem available for downloading
    at the moment.
