Why wean her off it?

|> 1) How well does MindWrite work with newer systems (6 or 7)?

Last time I used it, it seemed to work fine under System 7.0.1.  I
haven't given it a throrough workout in some time, however, so
there may be lurking bugs.  If there are not, it's still a better
outlining program than anything available today.  If you must get
a newer program, More is a possibility, albeit an expensive one.
Nisus has outlining macros, but you really don't want to try to
use them :-(.

|> 2) How do I translate MindWrite documents into Word dcuments?

MindWrite can save in text-only format.  I don't think it can
save in MS word format.

"We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to
form up into teams, we would be reorganized.  I was to learn later in
life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a
wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while
producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization."
