Our Word importer currently only supports Word 6.0 and newer documents.
I believe that we can eventually add earlier Word formats, but I don't
know what the timeline will be.

Also, the equations in your Word documents probably won't show up yet in
AbiWord. Support for that will be available in later versions, after the
1.0 release.
