Nisus will read/write MS Word files.

MS Word will read Nisus files as text only (all formatting lost).  In
fact, since Nisus keeps its formatting information separately, ANY
word processor or text processor can read the text of Nisus files.

Both Nisus and Word will read/write MacWrite I files.  Neither will
read or write MacWrite II files.  Neither (I think) will read or write
FWP or WP files.

When changing from one word processor to another, SOMETHING is usually
lost in the translation.  Some cleanup and fixup is usually necessary.
