Hi, I suggest that you don't try to translate the article at all. 
I've found that WinWord 2.0c will readily open up MacWord 5.1 
documents without any translation.  It screws up worse when
I save the MacWord document in WinWord format.  

The same holds true for WinWord to MacWord translation.  MacWord 5.1
opens up WinWord 2.0 documents without any translation.  

The new Word 6 versions are supposed to have *exactly* the same file
format, so that translation will be completely unnecessary...
