Hi,

	I was wondering if there is any Public Domain software out there
	which will enable me to convert my MS-Word files (on the mac) to 
	WordPerfect format (for the PC).

	I have a number of styles and PICTures, and dont want to loose them

	Thanks in advance.

This is not a problem:
Just get a copy of WordPerfect for the Mac (it can read Word 3.x files) and
save the file in WordPerfect PC 5.0 format.

Or you can save your word document in MS Word PC format, transfer it to the
PC and read the Word file with WordPerfect.

Then there at least three outstanding converting applications for the Mac
which easily allow you to do that.

	I have a friend who owns a translation business.  He asked me to
post this in hopes that someone had the answers to his questions.  He wants
to know if there is a Russian version of Microsoft Word?  Also, he has a
friend that translates English -> Russian for him on the East Coast and then
faxes (to the West Coast) him the translation and he has to type it in
himself.  Is there a way to (using a modem) send the files from Coast to
Coast rather than faxing them, even if the translation is done on an IBM
using Wordperfect and my friend on the West Coast owns a Macintosh with
Word v4.0?
