Word can save in MacWrite format; have you tried that?  Can Nisus even convert
it?

BTW, I'd like Nisus a lot better if it did have style sheets.  That's one
feature I LOVE about Word.

[more stuff deleted about Word's interface & font menu]

I don't understand all this griping about Word's interface.  True, v3.* was
somewhat idiosyncratic, but I think Microsoft has done an excellent job with
Word 4.  Menus and key assignments are completely customizable, and all fonts
show up automatically in the font menu.  Moreover, it doesn't require
umpteen-billion megabytes of memory, like some other word processors I could
name ;-).  Good job, Microsoft!
