What version of Word? Because Word very often cannot accurately
read its own older versions. And, of course, the W4W filters are
converting into an older version. Not to mention the latest
version (Word 2007), whose proprietary format can be read by
nothing else.
Did you try RTF? Esp. using the U2 routine SARTF? And keep the
formatting to a minimum, because the filters will stick in a
whole lot of it, regardless.
