[comp.sys.next] ms word-->richTextFormat

stone@unmvax.cs.unm.edu (Andrew Stone) (08/03/89)

   We are trying to have pretty help files and want to use rich text format.
   Since WriteNow does not save rtf JustYet, have any of you had luck
   importing MS Word files created on the Mac? If so, what sort of massaging
   took place?

   Thanks,   andrew

It sounds from the above that WriteNow will do for you if you coul
just get it into rtf format.  If this is the case, then there IS a
program called wn2rtf in the WriteNow.app directory that'll do the
trick.  It's kind of weird, though, 'coz it doesn't make an output
file.. it just pokes it to stdout, so you have to redirect the output
-- no biggie, of course.  Hope that'll do it.
