  I do not know if this is a worthy suggestion or not, but here it is:

  1.  Get XY4.018 from the same site where you got the coversion filters.
  1a. Install XY4.018
  2.  Upload your XY2 files to XY4.  (This is where I may be suggesting
      something that is not going to work.  XY2 may not be compatible
      with XY4.  Carl will know this.)
  3.  Use the conversion filters that you got form the XY site.
  3a. Load one of your documents.
  4.  Save the document as RTF.
  5.  Bring the RTF document(s) into MSWord.
  6.  Save as a MSWord document.

I've got a Windows 95 computer. I don't know whether I have the corresponding version of /Word/ or whether I was using /WordPerfect/ at that time. I probably has an Adobe Reader, but I don't know anything about Adobe utilities. I'll have to dust off the old girl and see what she's got.

This probably won't be much help, but it's precisely for problems like this that I keep an ancient copy of Word 95 on my computer, as well as an equally ancient copy of Adobe File Utilities 1.0, which has a bunch of conversion utilities on it, including not only Xy II and III, but Signature (works well for Xy IV), to say nothing of Wordstar and others. If you can somehow lay your hands on a copy of the Adobe, you'll find it works OK, not great, but OK.
