Well, I don't know which revision you received, but if it was older than
release 1.2b then the W4W filter may not have existed yet.  I don't exactly
recall when it was that it was complete but I know that for a while
management thought that exporting the file from W4W in RTF and then
importing the RTF into Ami was ok.  I know that 1.2b has a W4W filter, and
I know that 2.0 has an excellent W4W filter.

It may be that the filter existed; but was left off of the sample/working
copy.  I personally created the masters for european Ami version 1.2c and
as I am new there I know I probably forgot something (probably not).

could have left out a filter (actually left in a filter from AmiPro, but
you probably get the idea).

ciao
