Microsoft has two internal (confidential) documents covering the exact
binary formats of Word 4 and Word 5 documents for the Macintosh. Of
course, they won't give that away to anyone, but if you have a good
reason (i.e. something that won't hurt Microsoft ;-)), then maybe you get
it from them. (I have them, but obviously I can't give them to you.)
My point is: just try Microsoft to convince you need these descriptions,
and ask for the 'Microsoft Word 4.0 Binary File Format (Macintosh
Version)' and 'Microsoft Word 5.0 Binary File Format (Macintosh
Version)'. Chances are that you can use them under a company-wide
disclosure.
