When Microsoft Word 2000 opens or saves a document, it uses text converters to change the file format of the document. If a document includes images, Word 2000 uses graphics filters to open and save images that are within or linked to the document.

Office 2000 Setup and the Microsoft Office Converter Pack install text converters and graphics filters in the following locations:
