If you have word available then I've found the best thing to do is generate
HTML, import that into word and saveAs to any of the 20-30 or so formats
that word supports. Have a look in my UTILITIES section for the HTML to DOC
commandline utility
http://www.bayes.co.uk/xml/index.xml?/xml/utils/htmltodoc.xml
Run it like this
cscript htmlTOdoc.js htmlfile outfile {fileFormat}
or for RTF output
cscript htmlTOdoc.js htmlfile.htm outfile.rtf
it uses either the extension of the outfile to decide what to output or the
fileFormat can specify one of the following although this changes from
system to system so you have to experiment
1 Text with Layout ans
2  MS-DOS Text with Layout asc
