Depends on whether the entry is "formatted" or just plain text. The
former are stored in Normal.dot and only available to Word. Plain text
entries are stored in *.acl files and shared among Office apps.

You should be able to check this using the .RichText property of an
individual entry. (True = formatted = stored in Word)
