"Word" can read the pure text files that you produce with your "strip"
printer file. If you want to import formatted XY files, you should get
a XY version with file conversion, i.e. XY-4 or XY-Win. The Technology
Group will be happy to sell you that, although they'll routinely try
to charge that ludicrious moon price (over USD 500), if you don't
explicitely demand to buy it as "upgrade" for USD 130 or so. (A policy
that apparently makes sense to somebody, although I'd be curious
to know to whom.)
