And here I thought you were asking something interesting :-). How about
the more general answer? Are there ANY PC WordProcessing packages whose
files can be imported into nroff, Tex, or the like? E.g. - I can print off
Postscript files on a unix printer I have access to, so I can use any word
processor that produces Postscript.  I know very little about PC word
processors, tho', so I don't know which ones produce Postscript, or can be
imported to nroff, Tex, etc. I need a table of triples: {PC package,
import program and where available, and unix format imported to}. Thanx.
