Not to bash on OO (which I use on my daily driver), but aren't there good WP options out there already for Amiga?  To me, that seems the biggest software market where upgrades are basically GUI improvements as to actual core functionality.

The Amiga's office applications are perfectly functional in their own right (I used WordWorth almost exclusively through college), but exchanging files with other platforms is a nightmare, especially for complex documents.

Ah, that makes sense.  Sounds like a good Arexx macro there in the making :D

Not so much an ARexx macro as a tool that reliably converts from .doc/.docx to .ww or .fw, and vice versa. There just isn't one.

well, even OO in its latest incarnation doesn't play nice with *gag* .docx...

XML = teh suck
