The only products that I know will convert Microsoft Works word processor
files (besides Works itself) are Word, WordPerfect for Windows, and Lotus
Word Pro. All are Windows products (unless you're using Crossover).

If you still need a conversion come next week's Brandon meeting, let me know
and I'll make sure I bring both laptops with me (my iBook *and* my
ThinkPad).

Ideally, they need to save it from Works as a Word file. It would make life
much easier.
