I am told that someone asked here whether FullWrite can take a plain
text file with embedded formatting commands and produce a document
with the ask-for formatting.  I see Ed Moy has already observed that
MakeWrite will do this to a limited extent, producing a MacWrite
document.  There is a problem with MakeWrite, in that files produced
this way are sometimes not importable into other word processors.  For
instance, imports of MakeWrite files into Ready Set Go fail.

On the other hand, I am also told that if you read the MakeWrite-produced
file into MacWrite and save it *under another name* and import the second
file into RSG, it works.  I don't know whether this is true from my
own experience, but if so, this information may be of some relevance to
the question regarding FullWrite.
