Yes, the newly shipping version of MacWrite II 1.1 supports handling Word 4.0
documents.  The little file called "MicrosoftWord 4.0" you saw is one of our
new XTND file translator modules.  You drop these in your system folder (or
your Claris folder in the system folder!) and they show up in a popup in
the open/save dialogs.

XTND is rather nifty.  You can aquire various XTND translators and use them
from various programs (soon, right now only MacWrite II 1.1 supports this,
but soon other Claris and NONClaris products will make use of the same XTND
file).
