Ross Gardler commented on FOR-746:
----------------------------------

I have a local plugin that uses OOo to convert the MS Word document to OOo and 
then uses the OOo plugin to convert to Forrest. It works, but it as code in it 
that cannot be committed to Forrest due to license issues.

I am willing to donate this code to anyone who needs it (under the most 
permissive license legally possible - which will be Open Source), even more 
willing if they would provide a home for it at somewhere like Sourceforge.
