This is what I was recommending Avram try, but as he's
using Xy III, he needs to upgrade to 4. The further
wrinkle in his case is that he needs to convert the
Word file BACK to Xy. That was what I was referring to
with my mention of batfiles and the possible need to
clean up the resultant file. (The conversion filters
embed a lot of redundant formatting; you cannot see it
in Weird, but you can in WordPerfect--with Reveal Codes
on--and you can see it, and fix it, in a file converted
from another format to Xy.)
