I'd hazard a guess that using Rich Text Format for your interchange
might work.  I know the IBM and Mac versions of Word can deal with it; I
can't say if there is a word processor for the Atari ST that will
interpret it.  It is something of a lowest-common denominator for
formatted text, so there is bound to be some offering for the ST.
