Ok I'm going to double check.

Start /opt/bin/applix from the command line
Click on words
Click on File->Export
Under 'Export File Type:' I've got
	Applix Words 3.x
	Ascii Paragraphs
	Ascii Lines
	Ascii Layout
	DCA
	HTML
	...

If you don't have HTML I'd guess there might be something wrong with your
install.  Wierd.

My setup is 4.3.2, but the office (not builder) edition.  I.E. the rightmost
thing in the applix toolbar is a file cabinet, not the drill/t-square thing
for builder (At least on this machine).
