Hi, 

Our Mechanical Engineering department has been using Macintosh computers
for years.  However, most of our machines are old Mac512, MacPlus type 
machines.

The rest of our group (electircal engineers and physicists) have upgraded
their old Macintoshes for new MacII type machines.

As a result, the written word in our group is spread using Microsoft Word 4.00
and Microsoft Excel.

However, we mechanical engineers use Sun SPARCStations to do computation
intensive solid modeling (The package we use is not available for Macintosh
machines).  

Is there some WYSIWYG word prcessor for the Sun which can create file which
can be understood by Macs with Microsoft Word 4.00?  We would like to avoid
going to text (and losing all formatting).

Thanks in advance...
JimC
