Hello,

I'm asking this for a friend of mine, who is currently preparing a thesis
on a Mac, using MS-Word 4.0, macDrawII, macPaint and superPaint(?).

For some very good reasons, he would like to continue the work on a PC,
without struggling with learning the features of another editor, so he
wants to use MS-Word on a PC.

Can anyone tell if 
- the user-interface of MS-Word on a PC differs much from the Mac?
- it is possible to convert MS-Word 4.0-files to a PC, and how should 
  that be done (preferably using discs, instead of cables, modems or networks)
- this conversion includes graphics? If not, how can that be done?
- there are programs, comparable with macDraw and/or macPaint, on a PC?

Sorry if this question has been asked and answered before.
If there is enough interest, I'll summarize to the net.
Please reply by e-mail also; I'm not reading this group regularly.
