Hi Ban,

While Revolution fields have a solid feature set, they
are not a replacement for MS Word -- you cannot set
the tabstops or alignment of each paragraph
separately, there is no support for tables, etc.

If your Word document doesn't require all that, you
could try saving it as an HTML file, and then setting
the htmlText of a field to the content of this file:
--
on mouseUp
  answer file "Select an HTML file to import"
  if it is empty then exit mouseUp
  set the htmlText of field "HTML" to \
    URL ("file:" & it)
end mouseUp
--

How much information this will carry over, is another
question entirely, but it should get you somewhere.
