(Note: I don't have FD, so I can't speak to its interoperability.) Word can open Word Perfect files and vice versa IIRC.
Exporting is the same you can make PDFs or go to production management software, but no go for Final Draft or anything else. It can import Word and Word Perfect (for those unfrozen cavemen from 1990) and text with some competency, but Celtx, Fountain, even Final Draft are non-starters. In replying to someone asking about using it with Fountain, I confirmed something that I'd always suspected but hadn't really examined because I was working solely in MMSW and hadn't been perusing other programs: MMSW is essentially an island unto itself where little can enter or leave. I don't see as many complaints on it as FD gets, though the people who complain about FD still shell out for upgrades and then gripe about those, too.īut where MMSW really seems doomed is in their file import/export area. MMSW has always been the poor red-headed stepchild to Final Draft due to inertia favoring the "industry standard" (read: "what everyone else is using") despite being comparable or superior on a features front.
