I would suggest using Microsoft Publisher rather than Word for anything other
than the simplest documents.
Cut and paste from windows O-PrO to Microsoft Publisher should retain most
features. You might get better results using a windows PDF generator from
O-Pro and cut and pasting from that. This will retain text and graphics.
However the difficulty we often have is that the differences in fonts
between RISCOS and Windows cause layout problems when a RISCOS document is
opened in Windows - except for the common fonts like Trinity**. Also the RISCOS
illustrations need to be Jpegs not Sprites or Draw.
Whatever method is used subsequent editing under Windows may be difficult.
