SUMMARY
Word versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c support conversion to and/or from a
number of foreign file formats, including word processor, spreadsheet, and
database files. Word interprets some foreign formats internally and others
through use of external converter files. Word now interprets database
formats using Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).
