You are right, versions 3.00 and 3.01 of PageMaker do not directly import
Word 4.0; PageMaker predated Word 4.0 by almost a year. However, if you save
your Word file in 3.0 format, you can import THAT into your present PageMaker.

The final solution is PageMaker 3.02, which Aldus has already shipped and which
I have and hold - it is real. It was issued specifically to import Word 4. The
upgrade to 3.02 is $25 US directly to Aldus. Aldus Color Extension also has
Word 4 import capability.

As to your IBM-using fiend - er, friend, tell him to get real! ;-)
