I am expectine Nisus X to be able to do this, since Nisus/Nisus Writer
has always had this ability. The Show all Files optiion for the Catalog
window allows you to open any file on your hard disk. I often used it to
open and save files downloaded from BBS's that were not recognized
properly. This is fine for what are originally text files, but can only
be used for Word, or Ichitaro (a popular Japanese WP) files, to extract
the text from the document and copy it to a different document.
