MORE INFORMATIONEarlier versions of the U.S. release of Word do not recognize Asian Word files as Word documents. If you try to open a Japanese Word document into one of these earlier Word releases, the following error message results:
File is not a Word documentU.S. Word may still fail to open an Asian Word document if the converter file has not been installed. For Word 6.0 for Windows, the converter is only installed if you run Custom/Complete setup. For Word 7.0 for Windows 95, the converter is installed with both Typical and Custom setups. In addition, Word will fail to open a Japanese Word document if the converter has not been properly registered. For Word 6.0 for Windows, the following entry must be present in the [MSWord Text Converters] section of the Winword6.ini file beginning with the classname "MSWORDJ6." This entry is similar to the following:
MSWordJ6=Word/J for Windows 6.0, <path>\Msword6.cnv, docNeither Word nor Office Setup registers the converter with this Winword6.ini entry. Therefore, you must autoinstall the converter. To autoinstall the converter, complete the following steps:
For Word 7.0 for Windows 95, the converter must be installed through setup and then at that time can be replaced by the updated converter. This is so that the following registry information can be recorded for the converter in KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Word\7.0\Text Converters\Import\MSWordJ6:
Extensions = "doc" Name = "Word (Asian Versions) 6.0-7.0 Path = "<path>\mswrd632.cnv"If this information is not present in the registry, rerun Setup, choose to remove the Word 6.0-7.0 Windows/Macintosh Converter, and then reinstall that converter. The registry entry above should now be present.
