Well, I played with a friend's copy of MW II an have the following
observation.  It doesn't convert FROM Word3.0 too well.  I tried
opening a Word3.0 (3.02) file, it worked, but the result bore only
a partial resemblence to the original.  The topic was all screwed up
(in fact, the words TOPIC appeared in the header of every page!).
The formatting of paragraphs and spacing of characters was very different.
Not something I could live with.  I guess I will have to stick to 
Word3.0 for now, though I might consider doing new docs in MW II.
