The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word for Windows NT 6.0
  • Microsoft Word for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q136465

SUMMARY

Converters that are either supplied with Word for Windows NT or that are available on the Word for Windows NT Supplemental Conversion Disk are not supported for use with Word for Windows 95. The only converters available for use with Word for Windows NT that are not included with Word for Windows 95 are:
  • DisplayWrite versions 4v1, 4v2, and 5.0 (import only)
  • MultiMate 3.3, MultiMate Advantage, MultiMate Advantage II, and MultiMate 4.0
  • WordPerfect versions 4.1 and 4.2
  • Microsoft FoxPro 2.0 and 2.5 and other dBASE formats, versions II, III, and IV
The first three converters are included on the Word 6.0 for Windows NT Supplemental Conversion Disk. The Fox Pro/dBASE converter is available with the standalone version of Word or Windows 95; it is not included with Office for Windows 95. Fox Pro/dBASE ODBC drivers are, however, available for use with either Office for Windows 95 or Word for Windows 95.

MORE INFORMATION

Although converters designed for use with Word for Windows NT are 32-bit, similar to the converters that Word 7.0 uses, these converters have not been tested and approved for use with Word 7.0. For information on third-party vendors that support conversion to and/or from foreign file formats not directly supported by Word, query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

textconv and third and party and <file format>
