Date: Sun 03-Aug-1989 14:29:01 From: Unknown Subject: ms word-->richTextFormat We are trying to have pretty help files and want to use rich text format. Since WriteNow does not save rtf JustYet, have any of you had luck importing MS Word files created on the Mac? If so, what sort of massaging took place?

If this is the case, then there IS a program called wn2rtf in the WriteNow.app directory that'll do the trick. It's kind of weird, though, 'coz it doesn't make an output file.. it just pokes it to stdout, so you have to redirect the output -- no biggie, of course. Hope that'll do it.
