Which conversion programs have you tried or not tried? The
reason I ask, I've heard that WordPort generally does a better
job with NB files than W4W or Software Bridge (except perhaps
where AmiPro is involved).
Before changing wordprocessors, I'd want to see if there wasn't a
better conversion program out there somewhere. FWIW.
