Always been a bit suspicious towards inter-suite file format conversions
(seen it fail too many times). And I have generally detested WP since their
fatal version 6.0 for Windows (what a piece of crap - that thing alone made
me switch to Word 6.0). But it seems that you have a good experience here
with WP file conversions from Office? Does that also aply to Office 2000
formats?
