Microsoft Word version 6.0 for Windows Supplemental File Conversion Disks includes a Setup program that automatically installs all or selected text converters, graphic filters, and MS-DOS Glossary files.  For downloading purposes, each text converter, graphic filter, and all MS-DOS glossary files have been placed in individual self-extracting executable files that do not include Setup.  To use the text converter you downloaded:

1.  Copy the self-extracting executable converter file to the Word program directory (usually C:\WINWORD).

2.  Change to the Word program directory by typing

		CD C:\directory

	(where directory is the path to your WINWORD program directory) and pressing Enter.

3.  Decompress the text converter by typing the self-extracting filename.  For example, the Microsoft Word for Windows version 1.x self-extracting filename is WWIN1.EXE.  Type

		WWIN1

	and press Enter. 

	OPTIONAL: Once you have successfully run WWIN1.EXE, you can remove the file by typing

		DEL WWIN1.EXE

	and pressing Enter.

In most cases, Word automatically installs the appropriate converter the first time you use Word to open a file created in another application. Word installs the converter by adding information to the [MSWord Text Converters] section of your WINWORD6.INI file.

If you want to save a Word document in another format but do not have a document in that format that you can open, do the following to add information to the [MSWord Text Converters] section of your WINWORD6.INI file.

1.  From the File menu, choose Open (ALT, F, O).

2.  Check the Confirm Conversions option.

3.  In the File Name box, type

		C:\directory\SETUP\SETUP.EXE

	where directory is the name of your Word program directory (usually C:\WINWORD).

4.  Choose OK.  Word automatically searches for and installs all new text converters.

5.  Choose the Cancel button in the Convert File dialog box.

For more information about using Word with documents created in other word-processing programs, see the File Conversion topic of the Word Readme Help (WDREADME.HLP) file installed with Word 6.0 for Windows. More information about the supplied converters and filters is included in SCNVINFO.DOC.
