VMS Help CONVERT, /DOCUMENT, CDA Base Service Converters, Text Output Converter, OVERRIDE_FORMAT  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    OVERRIDE_FORMAT [ON,OFF] causes the Text output converter to
    ignore the document formatting information included in your
    document, so that the text is formatted in a single large galley
    per page that corresponds to the size of the page as specified
    by the HEIGHT and WIDTH processing options. If this option is
    not specified, the default is OFF; if this option is specified
    without a value, the default is ON.
