OS X 10.4.11 -- can't import files from Word

[Peter Gold]

Mastersoft provided some of FM's conversion filters at one time. The
error is in the conversion filter, not FM itself. Apparently the
Japanese RTF filter is/was smarter than the standard RTF filter.

I believe around that time, even Word had problems importing Word
files because of file-format changes.

Glad to hear you've gotten past the problem.
