I have had bad experience in porting Word for Windows 2.0a files to msword 4.0.
I wrote the output from the WFW2.0a as macintosh format but when i read in 
4.0 i got all funny characters at the begining of the line. 
To overcome this save the files in RTF format which is portable in all the 
platforms. this works lot better than any other method. I am not very sure 
whether rtf format saves the pictures [ i never tried this]
