Thanks for the thought Mr P., but WPad is not really a very good solution.
"AbiWord" which is what I've been using for her, does an excellent job.
OVPro.RTF into Abiword, Save as Rtf and that goes into Word okay.

We did wonder, but...
We've discovered, all our (That we've tested) OVPro documents, even much
older ones, any sort, when made Rtf will just not appear in Word (Either

They are there, but just will not display.

I wish there was, it would be so useful, considering there's no OV to Win
direct path.
Perhaps we OvPro users should throw some lolly in your direction to get
one.
