I've seen a couple other converters around too.
That, as I understand it, would also require me to go out and purchase MS-Word. That's a bit spendy just to convert some AmiPro files and retrieve my old newspaper columns.

It's been six months or a year since I looked, but I couldn't find anything that seemed promising back then. If you (or anyone!) knows of a standalone converter for .sam files, or anything that plugs into OOo, please let me know.
@#$@!& proprietary formats ....

Y'know, if AmiPro supported long file names (yeah, it's a Win 3.1 dinosaur) I'd probably still be using it. It was fast, slick, efficient, and exactly what I needed for writing and lightweight DTP. Sure, modern word processors can do everything, but I don't want to do everything.
