Apple Media Tool: Styled Text Requires Additional Filters

Does the Apple Media Tool support more than one text style in a text media element? If so, how can I import formatted (styled) text from word processors like MacWrite Pro, Microsoft Word, or others?
The Apple Media Tool is very limited in the text it supports. You cannot import formatted text from MacWrite Pro, Microsoft Word, or other word processors. This is because of the cross-platform requirements of the Apple Media Tool. Art of Memory Ltd. (+44 (0) 1386 841496 or AppleLink UK0304) has an Apple Media Tool Programming Environment package called TextPak, which allows much greater text handling capability when using the Apple Media Tool Programming Environment.

Because all text used within TextPak is held as plain ASCII, with embedded style commands, the texts used in your project can be easily maintained separately from your program code, in the same way that the Apple Media Tool separates media items from code.
