Subject: MS Word/Runoff Converter??

This is being posted to comp.os.vms, comp.os.ms-windows.apps.word-proc, 
and bit.mailserv.word-pc.  Let me know if the following rather 
strange request should be posted elsewhere as well...

I routinely write design specs for my work.  My tool of choice has been MS
Word for Windows 6.0.  However, for reasons too obscure to go into, I have
been requested to produce this documentation in DSR (Digital Standard
Runoff) I have worked with DSR in the past, and would very much prefer
*not* to have to go back to it if there is another way. 

The question is:  Does anyone know of some tool which would convert (in
essence, "de-compile") a Word document and create an ASCII text file with
imbedded DSR commands?  Or for that matter, a tool which does the opposite
-- take a text file with DSR commands, and convert it to a Word file,
using "standard" (NORMAL.DOT) style formats.  I suppost this utility could
exist either on the VMS machine or on the PC. 

Does such a utility exist?  Is this totally nuts??  Please respond via 
email, as well as to the newsgroup(s) if appropriate.

Thanks,
Barry Singer
