We don't. Microsoft builds this wall by keeping their formats secret
and changing them twice every year. Anyway, Word should be able to
read plain text files generated by emacs. You may have to use the
unix2dos program to change from unix to dos/windows line breaking
style. For other formats, look into Staroffice or Applixware, which
both are capable of spitting out some kind of Word format (or even
Wordperfect for linux).
