Known Problems:
---------------

Files in MS-Word "quick-save" format are not supported. This supposed 
'feature' of MS-Word should be disabled anyway, as it prevents the 
creation of backup copies and creates lots of garbage in OLE files, 
including data from unrelated files and programs, including personal 
data or passwords. For instance, I have discovered parts of program 
source code in an MS-Word document. This sometimes occurs even when 
the MS-Word-Quick-Save feature is disabled, but MS-Word is much more 
dangerous when it it enabled.

No conversion for:
  - OLE-Data (Papyrus does not support OLE), i.e. all embedded objects
  - Word-graphics - NOTE: a metafile may be changed into a Word-graphic 
inadvertently by double-clicking it on it (even if NO changes are made 
in the subsequent editor window!)
