I am particularly interested in a style sheet for outlining. Be informed -- MS Word style sheets for DOS and for MAC are two different animals! DOS style sheets are more like macros, can contain "instructions" as well as "formatting" information. With DOS, you can say "delete this line, then scan to that character, then insert this string", etc. With MAC you say "indent it this way, make it that font, keep it with the next paragraph". I know this doesn't answer your question (can the style sheets be converted), but wanted to make sure you knew what was up!
