The article you referenced was for "Word 2002 post-Service Pack 3 hotfix
package for Microsoft Word 2002" I am using Microsoft Word 2003.

Any suggestions?

I am getting an error message from a program that use the "Text Only"
format
from Word 2000. I would like to be able to save in the same format so
the
program will work.

Thanks
Eric

Hi,

I have been using Word 2000 and saving files as "TEXT ONLY" .

How do I use Word 2003 and Save files like the 2000 format?

I have tried using Plain Text in Word 2003 and I get error
messages
from
my
program that use the older format from 2000.

What is the difference and how do I resolve the problem?

Thanks
