WD2000: Supported File and Graphics Formats
ID: Q235928
|
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARY
When Microsoft Word 2000 opens or saves a document, it uses text converters to change the file format of the document.
To convert documents to and from different formats or to insert graphics, you must install the appropriate text converters or graphics filters included with the Microsoft Office 2000 Setup or the Microsoft Office Converter Pack.
Office 2000 Setup and the Microsoft Office Converter Pack install text converters and graphics filters in the following folders:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TextConv
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Grphflt
NOTE: When you use Microsoft Word 2000, you can collaborate with others who use earlier versions of Word and different applications. However, earlier versions of Word and some other applications do not support all of the Word 2000 features.
