Re: Converting files to RTF?

["M.W. Poirier" poirmw@xxxxxxxx]

 I do not know if this is a worthy suggestion or not, but here it is:

 1. Get XY4.018 from the same site where you got the coversion filters.
 1a. Install XY4.018
 2. Upload your XY2 files to XY4. (This is where I may be suggesting
   something that is not going to work. XY2 may not be compatible
   with XY4. Carl will know this.)
 3. Use the conversion filters that you got form the XY site.
 3a. Load one of your documents.
 4. Save the document as RTF.
 5. Bring the RTF document(s) into MSWord.
 6. Save as a MSWord document.
