The documentation department is attempting to place its documents
online.  The documents are now in WORD 4.0.  Are there any programs
that do a nice version of converting files from WORD to test or nroff.
That is, they must perform better than just saving as text; such as
converting bold to all caps or changing italicized phrases to quoted
phrases.

Thanks for any assistance.
