I have some software called R-Doc/X which converts wordprocessing files from
one word processor to another. One of the formats listed in the "from" menu
is Lotus Manuscript. It outputs to all the popular word processors, e.g.,
WORD. R-Doc is not very expensive. I have no idea how complete or accurate
the conversion would be for Manuscript to another word processor. I have
only used it for conversions of small, simple files and it has worked pretty
well.
