I have some old documents in Lotus AmiPro ("SAM" extension) that I would like

I tried KeyView from Lotus but I can't find a version that will run on my
computer as I get an error message indicating the file is only compatible

Thanks for your help

Download OpenOffice as it will open SAM files. Save the file as .DOC
and then open in Word. Keep OpenOffice for fixing corrupt tables or
doing things to tables that Word cannot - surprisingly Word will keep
the OO tables as you set them. OO has many features Word lacks and
vice-versa. As a tech writer I use both on the same file all the time
though don't import a word file into OO that has highlighted text as
that becomes a problem real fast (fixable but a pain)

Have fun
