Version 1.0 of Microsoft Publisher for Windows did not ship with a
filter for converting version 2.0 Microsoft Word for Windows files to
Publisher format. The enclosed WR0587 disk contains this filter, and
this application note gives instructions for installing the filter for
use with Publisher.

Installation Instructions
-------------------------

 1. Insert the enclosed WR0587 disk in the appropriate floppy disk
    drive.

 2. From Windows Program Manager, start File Manager. From the
    File menu, choose Copy.

 3. In the From box, type the letter of the drive in which you
    inserted the WR0587 disk, followed by "\*.*" (without the quotation
    marks).

 4. In the To box, type the path to your Windows directory
    (usually "c:\windows" [without the quotation marks]), followed by
    "\msapps\textconv" (without the quotation marks).

    The MSAPPS subdirectory is normally found in your Windows
    directory. The TEXTCONV subdirectory is where the Microsoft
    Publisher Setup program installed Publisher's other text
    converters.
   
 5. Choose the OK button. File Manager will then copy the
    WORDWIN2.CNV file from the enclosed disk to the directory you
    specified. Close or minimize File Manager and return to Program
    Manager.

 6. Start Notepad (usually found in the Accessories group).

 7. From the File menu, choose Open. In the File Name box, type
    "win.ini" (without the quotation marks). In the Drives box and the
    Directories box, select the drive and directory where Windows is
    located.

 8. Choose the OK button.

 9. When the WIN.INI file opens in Notepad, find the [text
    converters] section. It will look something like this:

       [MSWord Text Converters]
       WrdPrfctDOS50=WordPerfect
       5.0,D:\WIN31\msapps\textconv\wpft5.cnv,*
       WrdPrfctDOS=WordPerfect 5.1,D:\WIN31\msapps\textconv\wpft5.cnv,*
       MSWordWin=Word for Windows
       1.x,d:\win31\msapps\textconv\wordwin1.cnv,doc
       Windows Write=Windows
       Write,D:\WIN31\msapps\textconv\writwin.cnv,wri
       MSWorksWin=Works for Windows
       2.0,D:\WIN31\msapps\textconv\wrkswin.cnv,wps
       MSPub=Windows Publisher,D:\WIN31\msapps\textconv\mswinpub.cnv,pub
       MSWordDos=Word for DOS,D:\WIN31\msapps\textconv\worddos.cnv,doc
       MSWorksDos=MS Works,D:\WIN31\msapps\textconv\wrksdos.cnv,wps
   
    Type the following at the bottom of the list:
   
       wordwin2=word for windows 2.0,<path>\wordwin2.cnv,doc
     
    where <path> is the path to the subdirectory where you copied
    WORDWIN2.CNV in step 4 above. For example, if you copied the file
    to D:\WIN31\MSAPPS\TEXTCONV, type the following:
     
       wordwin2=word for windows 2.0,d:\win31\msapps\textconv\wordwin2.cnv,doc
     
10. From the File menu, choose Save to save the changes to your
    WIN.INI file. Then choose Exit to close Notepad.

11. From the File menu in Program Manager, choose Exit Windows to
    end your Windows session, then restart Windows.

The Word for Windows text-conversion filter is now installed. Be sure
to store the enclosed WR0587 disk in a safe place. If you ever have to
reinstall Publisher, you will also need to reinstall this text
converter.
