Nick:
I use AbiWord.
It is a GUI program and it is free. I have it on my windows box and my linux laptop. It allows conversion to and from many different applications. I have converted MSword files to my Abiword, which worked beautifully. It has the ability to convert files to MSword, I just haven't gotten around to seeing how that works out since I don't use MSword.

As a bonus, I use a free version of Natural Voice Reader to give my writing a different format for editing. Hearing it is different from reading it in your head. The free version comes with one voice which sounds like Stephen Hawkings. I laughed alot the first time I used it, but I still caught errors I hadn't noticed before. When I start making cash for my writing, I plan to upgrade and get new voices.

On a side tangent:
Anyone recall the post about Atlanta Nights by Travis Tea?

Well, Preditors and Editors is doing a poll and that book is listed for voting in the "Other Novels" of 2005 section.

I've had "When the Levee Breaks" (Zeplin) and "Ain't that a Shame" (Fats Domino).
My man has had "Bridge over Troubled Water" as done by Johhny Cash. Accordingly it is being used in a commercial by the Red Cross.
