Overview
--------
The disk included with this application note contains a Microsoft Word
for Windows version 2.0 converter for use with Microsoft Word for
Windows versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.1a. This converter allows customers
using versions of Word for Windows earlier than 2.0 to read documents
created in Word for Windows 2.0.
Installation
------------
To use the Word for Windows 2.0 converter, copy the CONV-WW2.DLL file
from the enclosed GC0545 disk to your Word for Windows 1.x program
directory (usually C:\WINWORD) by inserting the disk in drive A and
typing
copy a:\conv-ww2.dll <location>
where <location> is the path to your Word for Windows 1.x program
directory. For example:
copy a:\conv-ww2.dll c:\winword
The first time you open a Word for Windows 2.0 document in Word for
Windows 1.x, Word automatically installs the Word for Windows 2.0
converter. Word installs the converter by detecting its existence and
adding necessary information to the [Microsoft Word] section of your
WIN.INI file. After a few moments, you will be prompted to open the
document from Word for Windows 2.0 format. Choose the OK button to
open the file. In the future, Word for Windows 1.x will automatically
recognize and prompt you to convert all Word for Windows 2.0 files.
More Information
----------------
Note that formatting features existing in Word for Windows 2.0 that do
not exist in Word for Windows 1.0, 1.1, or 1.1a (for example, embedded
objects) will not be retained in the conversion.
If you have questions about installing or using the converter, one of
our Product Support Services technicians will be glad to assist you.
