Default Word 2003 Save As types

The old Word 6 converter and the registry patch that makes it available is
linked from the downloads page of my web site.

Did you ever get a solution to the Word 6.0/95 converter?

I have two machines running Word 2003 (same patches, etc) and one has
the Word 6.0/95 converter and one doesn't. Of course it's my machine
that has the converter (and I probably downloaded and ran something,
but what?).

Any info would help

Thanks

Leon

P.S. Yes, tried the "Word 97-2003 and 6.0/95 RTF" option and it
changed my 144KB file into over 3000KB.

I found the file size increasing even more than the original file
size when I saved using the option 'Word 97-2003 and 6.0/95 RTF'

For instance a 8 MB file went to 9 MB when I saved as 'Word 97-2003
and
6.0/95 RTF'. Earlier when I had Word 2000, I'd managed to Save As
Word 6.0/95 file of approx 2 MB. ( As I remember, I managed to get
that option in my Save As Type list in Word 2000 with a little help
from you, Suzanne!)
