We have the same problem where I work.  My boss and I use AMI Pro
at home.  Had it before the company bought 15 systems with Windows
and Windows Office installed.  We had documents in AMI Pro that we
wanted to put in the Word 6 format.  Can't do.  Contacted MS and
they said that the latest AMI Pro came out after Word 6 was
finalized and the did not have the applicable filter.  Would they
have one soon?  No answer, we're still waiting.

I think this is more likely due to competitive wars between
Lotus and MS in this class of software.  MS has a history of doing
this sort of thing.  Not going along with previously established
Lotus 1-2-3 command standards in Excel is another example.  Borland
didn't have a problem with sticking with Lotus command standards in
Quatro Pro.  IMHO, MS is pigheaded; 'we're tops and we will go our
own way.'
