Corpora: <kw> and </kw>

[John Newman]

I have a question about the formatting of results from searches. [I'm
relatively new to corpus linguistics and I apologise in advance if this
quesiton is so basic.]

I use the SARAH interface to BNC and Wordsmith tools for other corpora. I
often take concordance results (say as ".xml" files) from my PC onto my Mac
and open them up in Word. The key words then show up with their markup tags
<kw> and </kw> but, of course, not any more nicely formatted with the key
words centered. I've been manually putting tabs before <kw> and after </kw>
and converting the concordance into a table. In that way I get the key
words centered.

There must be a more automatic way of getting the key words centered in my
Word document on a Mac? Can anyone advise me on this? I thought the Qwick
application could do this but that doesn't seem available for downloading
at the moment.
