Dear Microsoft Customer: 
 
This package contains a converter that allows 
Microsoft Word 2.0 for Windows to read files
created by Microsoft Word 6.0 for Windows. This
converter is intended for users of Word 2.0 who
don't yet have access to Word 6.0. 
 
If this shipment has arrived in unsatisfactory
condition, please let us know. In the United
States, call the Microsoft Sales Information
Center at (800) 426-9400. Outside the United
States, contact your local Microsoft subsidiary. 
 
To use the converter, follow the setup
instructions included in this letter. If you have
questions about installing or using the converter,
one of our Product Support Services engineers will
be glad to assist you. In the United States call
(206) 462-WORD between 6:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M.
Pacific time. Outside the United States, contact
your local Microsoft subsidiary. 
 
Setup Instructions: 
 
1. Start Microsoft Windows. 
 
2. From the Program Manager File menu, choose Run. 
 
3. Type the following and press ENTER 
 
      <path>\setup 
 
   where <path> is the location of the Word 6.0 or
   Windows File Converter Kit setup files. For
   example: 
 
      c:\winword\setup 
 
4. Follow the directions in the Word 6.0 for
   Windows File Converter setup program. 
 
Release Notes: 
 
 - This converter will not run under Windows 3.0.
   This is because Word 6.0 for Windows uses
   object linking and embedding (OLE) 2.0 for file
   storage, so several OLE 2.0 files are required
   for the converter to read Word 6.0 for Windows
   files. These OLE files are not guaranteed to
   work under Windows 3.0. 
 
 - Note that those formatting features added in
   Word 6.0 for Windows that did not exist in Word
   2.0 will not be retained in conversion. A
   complete list is included in the file
   WRD6CONV.DOC which is installed with the
   converter. 
 
Thank you for your support of Microsoft 
products.
