In addition, the software offers a number of formatting options for conversion, such as identification of 2-digit year data, fractional decimal amounts, hyphens and font substitution.
The cost of the package is $129 and the upgrade from previous versions is $69.

Besides, I'm sure it supports a lot of export formats and if you have a problem with them, OpenOffice will happily read from MS format. It will have some formatting issues, but the export itself will not be perfect either.
Based on its price, it is clearly oriented to advanced office users and not to private or open source advocates. So the tool is not meant for you.
