	Has anybody had experience porting Microsoft Word documents
from Mac to Windows to Dos (the 5.1 vers)?  Do the page layouts stay
perfectly the same or do they need retouching?  What about
reading/writting Mac disks on an IBM comp. and visa vera?  
	What about WordPerfect?  Is it any better/worst?
	I need to know if this is a simple task or not.  I'm trying to
figure out if WordPerfect will be the best way to go in respect to
portability.
