If you have symbols that are already modified with a bit of work behind 
them, locate them in the *.sch file with a text editor (search for 
refdes or description) and copy the symbol definitions to an empty 
file.  This may not work in some instances, e.g. you may need to choose 
'embed symbols' to get the full symbol definition in the sch file.
