Importing MS Word files

[Stephen Barncard]

I think there was a thread on this about a month ago; there was a 
link to a site where a developer writes about the experience. 
Appearantly MS's version of XML is totally strange and broken. Yet MS 
is pushing ISO for standardization.

There seem to be a lot of converters on the net, though, including 
Python and there's a SDK available.
Could be a nightmare to write.
