Me too. In general, Applixware seems to do a much better job of importing MS
Word files than SO does (5.0 is *much* better than the beta!)

This just isn't true!
I don't know how many times I have to state this on this list. Applixware
exports to MS Word 2.0! Any version of MS Word > 2.0 can read this format.
What more do you need? I can not think of, nor has anyone yet been able to
present me with, a valid reason why anyone who doesn't normally use MS Office
needs to export to any newer version of of an MS Word format.
Additionally, Applixware can export to various WordPerfect formats, something
which I don't believe SO can do. ( I would expect it can read them too, but I
haven't tried this yet).
