Dear Text People:

   I have a problem that maybe some one on the network can solve.
Our department has several people who know Microsoft Word but do
not know tex, latex, or any other word processor of this type.
What I need is a list of Software Products for the Apple MacIntosh
which will translate Microsoft Word (and other word processors, like
WordPerfect and Wordstar and IBM's products) into tex and back again.
Do such products exist? Either in the public domain or as a purchased
product. We also have IBM PC's, is there a product for this line of
computers which will do the same thing? I don't want just ASCII but
translate all the control commands back and forth between tex and
other word processing packages. Please post to the network and to
me individually, if possible. Take care and have a great day.
