Yes, on the fileserv@TCM.UCSC.EDU is INSTR.MSWORD_RTF 
(LIST INSTR will tell you what the fileserv has) which was created on the
MAC and published in volume 2 No. 1.  Just yesterday I read it in to
Word for Windows and printed it out, it works fine on the PC under windows
and correctly generates the proper format and provides the named TCM styles
that appear in the back of each issue of TCM.  Thus the MAC and PC both
use the same style sheet which as an RTF file is e-mailable.  
    To receive a copy of INSTR.MSWORD_RTF, snd a msg to fileserv@TCM.UCSC.EDU
with the following line in the body of the message:

SENDME INSTR.MSWORD_RTF    (this is an ascii file readable by MS Word)
SENDME INSTR.MAC_MSWORD    (tells about the styles)

Edit the msg when you receive it to take off the headers and save as
MSWORD.RTF, then read it in using the convert capability in MS WORD 5.0 for
RTF format (Rich Text Format) on the PC.  The INSTR.MAC_MSWORD is also 
ascii and describes the various styles and how to use them.  Using these
styles means you can forget about spacing and formatting, it is all automatic.

Unfortunately, I don't have any automatic bibliographic formatting system for
use with MS Word, but one can take the output of REFFORM which is an ascii
file with TCM ascii mark-up-language for emphasis, emboldening, etc, and write
a series of macros to convert @i{ ... } to italics and @b{ ... } to bold.
You then have BibTeX features for MS Word.  I haven't explored the MS Word
macro language, but anyone who wants to give it a try can develop macros that
will convert some of the *.NTS files published in TCM disks which were output
by REFFORM.
