There are two possibilities:
1. Use MacLink. This is a set of document-translators by DataViz Inc.
(www.dataviz.com) which may translate any MacWrite document to PC Word 6
or 7 and vv. in a Macintosh-environment.
2. Export your MacWrite documents into a temporary format which Word can
import: e.g. RTF (Microsoft Rich-Text-Format).
If you included graphs already, save and convert these separately. E.g.
by using GraphicConverter (Mac) or GWS (Graphics Workshop for PC), both
shareware and being found around the Web.
