It’s about time our National Archives started to realize this problem, much of which is tied (as you know) to MicroSoft’s proprietary formatting of data.

Thank goodness for OpenOffice and at least a few institutions recognizing the importance of data being in a completely open format.

My brother had a lot of sermons, correspondence on Epson(I think)word processor disks.
Haven’t found a way to access them and transfer the text to a more compatible format.
