Best option I know of (and I am reluctantly coverting some files right
now) is to open the XyWrite files in Word as text files ("All Files"), then
run the attached macro on them. It doesn't handle everything perfectly
(headers and footers are the biggest issue), but for manuscript-type files
it works well enough.
Best,
