We don't. Microsoft builds this wall by keeping their formats secret and changing them twice every year. Anyway, Word should be able to read plain text files generated by emacs. You may have to use the unix2dos program to change from unix to dos/windows line breaking style. For other formats, look into Staroffice or Applixware, which both are capable of spitting out some kind of Word format (or even Wordperfect for linux). HTH, Eric -- E.L.
