I am having a problem converting a Writenow Document into RTF, so it can be 
read into Microsoft Word.
Simple 1 page docs with no special formatting make it with no trouble
However, docs with footer/header , font changes + graphics etc don't

no error is reported during the conversion or reading process
when the rtf file is read into word
i get a doc with 1 character per line, the figures are gone, and page set up 
reveals 
that the left margin is 0 and the right margin -22i%4$}   (i.e. a garbage #)
can't change these or much else

tried saving as macwrite from writenow and then reading it into word
this leads to repeated errors, one after the other, that one gets out of only 
with quickness and clever placement of the mouse in between flashing dialogs


called t/maker tech support
got thru to a person who said that this was a known problem, and he will send 
me new filters that will solve it. In the interim he suggested, rereading the 
rtf file
via writenow and the re-converting the writenow version of the 1st rtf file


seemed a bit odd, but perhaps feasible


tried it, and discovered that word did not act any different
moreover the rtf file read back into writenow had corrupted formatting in some 
places

just for kicks  I repeated this process several times, and discovered that the 
degree of corruption grew rapidly with additional iterations


Summary: the writenow 3.0 filters seem to be buggy, and if you expect to be 
sending files to others who use other wordprocessors (in my case, I have been a 
Wrienow user since its inception, and like the program...however, the Journal 
in question will only accept submissions in Word)
you may want to request the new filters from t/maker
i'll try to post them to sumex if they do work on arrival, and t/maker permits 
me to.


Any comments or other solutions ?
