Have you tried:

One can also fool Word into acting like Wordstar with a keyboard emulator (available from this site). |
Yeah, been round that block and wasted several hours and only ended up with someone wanting to sell me some conversion program for a couple-a-hundred dollars...
And yep, that's exactly my problem, but I did find this:
http://www.hotkey.net.au/~hambar/hab...l.htm#juwsconv
which seems to convert to text files okay. I wish I could convert and keep the formatting/style/etc.
Actually ASparrow, I went back and tried this again. Downloaded the Word95 converter and installed it in my Word 2007 and it appears to give somewhat good results if you ignore the errors when opening a WordStar file and then specify that it is US Ascii text.
It seems to retain at least some (paragraphs/line breaks) of the formatting.
Thanks for tweaking me on that page/method again.
