I thought Word documents are binary and not translatable into other 
formats by any other than M$-word??
(Of course there is StarOffice, etc but didn't they have to reverse 
engineer in order to get where they are??)

But then I have never use M$-Word myself (only heard of people who know 
somebody who supposedly have used it... :-))
