Hello Francis,
According to the Daisy web site, the Word translator plug in will work with Word XP, Word 2003 and Word 2007. The plug-in, Pipeline program, and documentation can be downloaded. Here is a link to the Daisy page: <http://www.daisy.org/project/save-as-daisy-microsoft-word-add-in> http://www.daisy.org/project/save-as-daisy-microsoft-word-add-in Take care.
