[Biblical-languages] copying from DavkaWriter to Word

This is a question about copying Hebrew text from DavkaWriter to MS Word.

I am using Windows XP.  I recently upgraded to Word 2002 in Office XP.  I use 
DavkaWriter Platinum 3.0.

When I copy text in DavkaWriter (using "copy is for English program"), the 
font, direction, and almost all formatting is exactly right.  (I do need to 
change the direction of text to Right-to-Left to get it aligned properly.)

The problem is that the text does not wrap properly because it now contains 
hard returns wherever the DavkaWriter text contained soft returns.  For some 
reason, though, the position of these hard returns looks different from the hard 
returns that appear where the DavkaWriter text actually had hard returns.  
The latter seem normal, the former seem to be right on top of the last word in 
the line.

Am I doing something wrong?
If not, is there a work around?

Thanks very much.
