The summary line says it all.  WordRef's author Mark Nodine doesn't even know
Word's full save file format, but is lucky that he can access the text inside
such a document at a high level at which he doesn't _need_ to know the file
format.  So, I'm willing to bet that WordRef won't work at all with anything
but Word, _unless_ the document file format allows the same kind of access to
text that Word's does _and_ WordRef is or is made capable of reading such
files (probably just a matter of changing the file filter).
