I think it was Noel, or someone else maybe, who created a VO to OOffice 
converter. Once it's in OOffice, you can use OOffice to convert it to MS 
Word.

I'm not sure how you'd convert a line like this:

My vacation _exe_kuickshow vacation.jpg

to an MS Word link. A VO executable line and an MS Word link (not embedded 
object, but link) are conceptually the same thing, but I don't know offhand 
how you'd do it. One way might be to simply transfer the line as is, and run 
a Word macro to convert it within word.

As far as using Windows, no problem. Just reboot 8 times a day and you'll be 
fine :-)
