Hello,


The publications department at Tandem's Micro Products Division is 
switching from Word 4.0 on PCs to Interleaf on Suns.  We're 
looking for a good filter to convert our Word files to Interleaf 
files.  There are two features we're especially interested in.
We want the filter to create Interleaf index tokens from the
Word .i. entries, and we'd like our Word side-by-side paragraphs 
(which we use for side headers and indented following paragraphs)
to translate into a single component with the header text in a
side frame.

We've tried the Interleaf filter that works on Word RTF files, but
the filter is pretty limited, and the Word RTF converter seems 
to have a lot of problems.

We've heard of the Blueberry Filtrix program but haven't received a
demo copy yet.  We've also heard of Cloverleaf but don't know
much about it.

If you have used either of these programs or know of any other good
filters, we'd appreciate hearing from you.  We'd also welcome any 
suggestions about the Word RTF converter.  (We do know about the
information in the Word Technical Reference.)

Thanks,

Cele Wiseman
