Re: conversion from XyWrite to word



Avi --
 
There are a number of programs.  IBM's Lotus WordPro does a fairly
good job of converting XY3 (and presumably, as advertised, XY4) to
WordPro format, and then saving as a Word or RTF file.  Full versions
of Word Perfect can read and convert an XY3 file, which can then
be saved as a Word or RTF document.  With either of the foregoing
and most other conversion filters, unless you specify margins in the file
(rather than as a default at startup), you will have to redo margins by
hand in the output format.
 
Among other stand alone conversion programs, I use an old version
of Advanced Computer Innovations' filter, available at http://www.acii.com/.  
Blueberry Software's Filtrix, which I have never used, claims it can convert XY3 .
 
Hope this helps.

Subject: conversion from XyWrite to word

Does there exist a program that converts (or nearly converts) a XyWrite document into Word?  I can manually do this by calling up a XyWrite file in Word and using "find/replace" to get rid of the formatting commands.  I must then insert bold and italicized formatting by hand.   Is there anything available out there that would do this for me?
