Hi James,
Yes there is always a little loss but it is now rather
subtle. "rtf" and "doc" (actually doc is just rtf format but called
"doc") will *almost* always work very well.
But "abw" will always work perfectly. We guarantee it All other
formats are a work in progress and we continually strive to make them
better. Writing format conversion code is a very non-trivial exercise.
Cheers
Martin
