I think Brant Bady answered this question a lot better than I will.  I
am not sure what we will use.  I am even considering simple cutting and
pasting, since we have very few documents at this point. So, it might be
a lot easier for us to use this low-tech approach as oppose to figuring
out the conversion technology.   I am sorry that I can't be of more
help.
