I have an application that may require me to translate a large number
of files specified in MS Word to a different format (I am not sure if
the originating system is a PC or a Mac, if it makes a difference).
Can someone please tell me if a description of the format of MS Word
files is available and where it can be acquired from?  Thanks.
