SYMPTOMS
There is a documentation error in the Word for Windows online WordBasic
Help in the FileSaveAs topic. The same error occurs on page 445 of the
"Microsoft Word Developer's Kit."
You can specify other file formats, which must be listed in the [MSWord Text Converters] section of the WIN.INI file. To determine the appropriate value, count down, starting at 0 (zero), to the file format you want, and then add 100.Instead, online Help and the "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit" should state the following correct information: You can specify other file formats if they are listed in the [MSWord Text Converters] section of your WINWORD6.INI file or the [MS Text Converters] section of your WIN.INI file. To determine the appropriate value for the .Format argument, count down, starting at 0 (zero) in the [MSWord Text Converters] section of your WINWORD6.INI file. Continue counting, starting with the next number, in the [MS Text Converters] section of your WIN.INI file, until you get to the file format you want. Then add 100 and use that number as the value of the .Format argument. For example, if you count down to 12, the value for the .Format argument is 112.Below is a table that lists the .Format argument values for a sample WINWORD6.INI and WIN.INI file:
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. WORKAROUNDTo avoid counting the WINWORD6.INI and WIN.INI entries manually, create a macro that uses the ConverterLookup() function to return the correct value for the .Format argument. See the sample macros on page 303 of the "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit" or the "ConverterLookup()" topic in online WordBasic Help for more information. MORE INFORMATIONThe following six formats are internal to Word for Windows, so they always use the same number for the .Format argument:
