Looking at the entry for the Impression Business Supplement in the
Latest Acorn Product directory (Page 71) It says...

"The Impresseion Business Supplement includes
utilities for mail-merging, Expression-PS, and
loader modules for several PC and Macintosh
applications.
.
.
.
The loader modules are for PC and Macintosh applications,
including Microsoft Word (RTF), WordPerfect 4.2, 
WordStar 4.0, and PipeDream. They enable files from these
applications to be loaded directly into Impression,
complete with many text attributes (such as bold, underline,
font face/size)."

I think the key phrases are:-
1)    "loaded", no mention of export.
2)    "many text attributes", not full support for RTF etc

I guess the latter would legitimately be difficult to expect.
