I am finally getting ready to put together the chapters of my dissertation,
which have been written with a several different Mac word processing programs
over the last 3 years, most recently MS Word 3.01. I was wondering if RSG 4.0
might be the best way to put everything together. The main question is 
whether RSG can read the style sheets already present in my Word files, or
will I have to go through and redo all of the paragraph-level formatting? It
seems like the ability to insert pages in the middle (our figures have to
be interspersed) of the file and have the text flow around them is one thing
that Word cannot do, but if I have to redo all of the formatting, it is not
worth it.
