NCU supports RTF transfers from/to NewtonWorks. Microsoft Word (and other
word processors) can handle those RTF files. You don't need anything
special, just Newton Connection Utilities.

coaster n.: 1. Unuseable CD produced during failed attempt at writing to writeable or re-writeable CD media. Certainly related to the coaster-like shape of a CD, and the relative value of these failures. "I made a lot of coasters before I got a good CD." 2. Useless CDs received in the mail from the likes of AOL, MSN, CI$, Prodigy, ad nauseam.
