The same thing. If you try to convert some documents from word to text, word
will give you a message saying something like, the format you have chosen does
not support the word file and if you continue, some of your formatting may be
lost. It's just risky. I work in the adapted media unit of a state agency,
and when we were having to save our word files as wordperfect in order to
import them into Duxbury, I was constantly hearing from our field offices that
they were losing text when they opened their wordperfect file into Duxbury and
we concluded it was because of the conversion. The only time we experience
losing text anymore is if someone improperly applies the header style to body
text. Duxbury will not import such text. We have so many employees who are
clueless about how to use word properly that I routinely go through documents
looking for improperly applied styles and changing them while I'm still in
Word, to an acceptable style.

You mention in your message that some word types created in Word don't
survive direct conversion to WordPerfect. What happens if the Word
document is converted to ASCII or some other form of plain text if there
is one?
