Be informed -- MS Word style sheets for DOS and for MAC are two
different animals!  DOS style sheets are more like macros, can contain
"instructions" as well as "formatting" information.  With DOS, you can
say "delete this line, then scan to that character, then insert this
string", etc.  With MAC you say "indent it this way, make it that font,
keep it with the next paragraph".

I know this doesn't answer your question (can the style sheets be
converted), but wanted to make sure you knew what was up!
