Transferring Word documents to Pagemaker 5


Tip
In Helpline on page 184 of the October [1996] issue of PC World, a reply is given to a request for assistance in transferring Word documents to PageMaker 5. Assuming that Word 6 is the version referred to, there is a better method than that given.
A filter file, wd6imp.flt, is simply added to the Aldus subdirectory Aldus\ukenglish\filters.

The Aldus directory is set up by the PageMaker installation process. I have found copies of the filter file on various FTP sites which have dedicated PageMaker directories. I have been using this method for almost two years without problems. To insert a Word document, select Place from the PageMaker File menu, make the choice of file from the selection box displayed and press OK. Then position the cursor on the page in which you wish the incoming file to appear, and click the left button on the mouse.
