Does anyone know of either Microsoft Word for the Sun or a Microsoft Word "clone" which can be used on the Sun? Within our department the secretarial staff has switched to MAC II's using Word. It is now time for me to update my workstation and I was going to go w/ a MAC II also until I found out that it doesn't have the multiple process capability that the Sun does. If there is not a clone then how about a relatively simple way of converting MS Word coming from the MAC to a format usable on the Sun. I've heard the Wordperfect is available for the Sun but that's not what I need. I've also posted this query to comp.sys.sun. Can anyone help?

I too am in need of a way of getting MAC MS Word documents onto a Unix machine. A utility along the lines of macwrite2troff to convert MSWord to TeX, LaTeX, or troff would be great. I know how to get plain text out of Word.... Any pointers for us? Stephen M.
