Hi,
I hope this is the right group to answerr my questions:

What are the most used word-processor programms for MS-DOS ? If you want to
give away articles to people including information like boldface, italic and so
on, what format should I use? In Germany a lot of people use MS-WORD, is it
the same in USA? What about other countries? Is there a program to convert 
file-formats from WORD-PERFECT to WORD or the other way round (only to give
an example, I am looking for other converters too).

A lot of programs are now available in a special WINDOWS Version. Are these
files exchangable between WINDOWS and non-WINDOWS Version? 

Finally I am afraid that the best solution is to use ordinary ASCII=Format
that fits everywhere, but then I loose the ability to give texts a nice
style - and no chance for footnotes. Any advice, hints?

Thanks in advance

Frank
