MORE INFORMATION
- In some early versions of Word, menu options for some formats
erroneously do not list all supported versions. For example, in Word
versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.1a, the WordStar converter only lists support
for WordStar 3.3, 3.45, and 4.0 when in fact the converter also
officially supports versions 5.0 and 5.5, and is unofficially capable of
reading WordStar 6.0 and 7.0 files.
- Some converters are capable of reading information from versions or
sources of a non-Word file format other than those listed in the
Open dialog box (on the File menu, click Open).
- All versions of FoxBASE+ for MS-DOS and for the Macintosh, as well as
FoxPro 2.0 for MS-DOS and FoxPro 2.5 for MS-DOS and Windows, use the
dBASE III+/IV file format as their internal file format. Therefore,
although we do not specifically list an option to open FoxBASE+ or
FoxPro files in Word, these files can be opened as dBASE files in Word
versions prior to Word 6.0.
The only change to the dBASE converter in Word version 2.0b was a
correction to a problem with the converter not recognizing FoxPro 2.0
database files that contain memo fields.
In Word 6.0 and later, the dBASE converter has been discontinued, and
it's functionality has been replaced by use of ODBC to import data from
FoxBase, FoxPro, dBASE and other database formats.
- The Works 2.0 for MS-DOS converter can read Works version 3.0 for MS-DOS
word processing files; it will ignore formatting features newly
introduced in Works version 3.0 for MS-DOS.
- A Works 3.0 for Windows converter was first introduced as part of the
Word 6.0a Supplemental File Conversions Disks.
- The WordPerfect 5.x converter can read data from WordPerfect versions
5.0, 5.1, and 5.1 Plus for MS-DOS, as well as from WordPerfect 5.1 and
5.2 for Windows documents.
- Some files in the Word 2.0a-CD for Windows release have different file
dates because the supplemental converters were included in the
WORD\SUPPCONV directory on the CD-ROM and were not file-date synched
when the CD-ROM was built.
