Default Converting Word 2003 files to Word 2.x

Thank you for the tip. Although I did not find what I wanted there, I've
bookmarked the site for future reference. I did finally figure this out
though. Users who upgraded from Office 2000 to 2003 still have the
converters for older versions, so I copied the folder TextConv from
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared on one of the upgraded PC's to
mine and registered the files. It works!

Talk about your flashbacks :-) There is a filter available from MVP Graham
Mayor's site which may help you, but I honestly don't know if it goes back
that far or not - even if it does it may only support read capability for
v.2 without being able to write in that format:

Perhaps Graham will come along and comment on that

Another possibility is Conversions Plus from DataViz, though it would be a
separate step to make the conversion rather than a Save As form Word:

We use Folio Views on our web site for and intranet for many of our
legislative documents, and in order to create the .nfo files we must start
with a document in Word 2.x format. Our users have Word 2003 installed, but
many of them do not have the option to save as Word 2.x. I have downloaded
the converter pack but it does not include that option and I have been unable
to find it. Where can I get it?
