Hi Folks - I have an old word document which I cant determine the age of, it could be 95, 97 or later. Word tells me I need a converter to open it but so far I've been unable to find one on the web to do that. Again, unfortunately I don't have my installation CD's with me (I'm overseas on business at the moment) but really need to open this document. Any advise on what converter may be appropriate would be useful (and where to find it on the web). Cheers
All Word documents from 97 on may be opened by later versions of Word without a converter (some issues with Word 2007 that are not relevant here). Word 95 uses RTF format which Word should open also. Earlier than that you will probably need the DOS converter which you will find on the downloads page of my web site. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Kahuna wrote: > Hi Folks - I have an old word document which I cant determine the age > of, it could be 95, 97 or later.
