Transfer by Zip drive or SuperDrive or PC floppy with BlueDisk on
100MB zip disks and 1.44MB floppies is also possible since the IIGS
can read and write MS-DOS FAT file system disks.

You can preserve formatting if you have EGOed.  This desk accessory
(NDA) lets you load AppleWorks file with formatting and save in RTF
format for Windows/DOS programs.  CR/LF conversion is automatic
with RTF too.
