Salutations, we are a very small company with three key members that share 
data (word processing documents) with each other.  One person has an Atari
ST, another with a IBM thing, and I a Macintosh IIcx.  
 
At the present we are converting the documents to ASCII so each computer wil
be able to read it.  We find this process very time consuming - what we would
like to do is keep the formatting, font styles, sizes the same when
converting
from ATARI ST <--> IBM <--> MAC.  Is there some way to retain the word
processing format?  We have MS Word for the Mac and IBM.  Is there one
avaiable for the ATARI ST?  If so, can a IBM Word document (with type styles
etc) be used with the Macintosh and ATARI ST?
