Let us say, they have a .doc extension and can be opened with Word --
which of course doesn't necessarily mean they are actually real
Word documents. I don't think they came out of the Voyager
library system because Voyager doesn't store inventories,
only MARC records. I can save it as rtf and it looks fine,
but I still can't get out of rtf into anything plain text.
