Here are the programs that take a file, or a highlighted portion of a file, and convert them to RTF and then call them in Word or Wordpad. You'll have to modify the programs, probably, to reflect the actual locations of the destination programs. So far, I haven't been able to make this work in Windows XP; the programs were written for Win95 and should work with 98 and possibly NT.
Either of these programs could be modified to open a different program or save to a different format.
Note: The attachment is Zipped and contains both programs regardless of what AOL decides to call the Zip file.
Note: Advance apologies for what AOL will do to try to render this file in something other than plaintext.
