SUMMARY
When you upgrade from Word 5.x to Word 6.0 or Word 98, you may still need
to save your documents in Word 5.x format.
Word recognizes the file formats of many common word-processing, spreadsheet, database, and page-layout programs. If you need to transfer documents between Word and programs for which specific converters aren't available, you can also import and export documents in plain-text formats. Plain-text formats retain the text of a document without most of the formatting. These formats are also useful for transferring documents when using electronic mail systems.
