Part of the problem is that there isn't really a good standard format for
embedding information. Every word processor seems to have their favorite
(non-standard) one, with DCA and RTF being two of the more common ones.
Interleaf does it's own thing, as usual.
There are ways of working with the information to some degree. Macify, for
one, will help you convert some codes. And if the coding is reasonably
regular, you can use the find/change with style capabilities to convert
strings to bold or italic or something.
About the ONLY thing I haven't been able to do with the find/change is
take a given string like "FOO" and convert it to "Foo" with bold. But I CAN
do it in two steps by doing the case conversion with McSink, so it's not
that big a deal.
