Another possibility is to use MacLink.  It allows you to transfer files
directly between a Mac and PC by means of a serial cable (similar to Lap
Link).  It also includes a set of Apple File Exchange translators that
will probably do the Mac-Word to DOS-Word translation in the process.
I've seen the package listed in mail-order catalogs for about $130
(including cables).  The translators are another $100 or so (the
translators can be used with Apple File Exchange alone as well).
