Default Works to Word conversion.

I have a question about document conversion that I think I already know the
answer to, but am not entirely positive.

Here's my situation, my Brother called to ask how to convert a Works
document to a Word document. Being as I have both programs installed and
haven't had just one or the other installed at a time for quite some while
now, I was unsure of how to answer his question. This is due to the fact
that, having both installed myself, I already have all the converters
installed that I need. Also, by having both installed I am not able to
confirm nor deny my suspicion that Works does in fact allow this conversion
when you choose "Save As..." from the file menu. However, I DO recognize
the very distinct possibility that I may be wrong.

Thus comes my question: Can a Works Document be converted to a Word
Document if Word is NOT installed??


Thanks for any help.

I believe that Works allows you to save in Word document format even if you
don't have Word installed.

Thanks much. I was pretty sure this was the case, but not entirely. I'll
check with my Brother and see if he's tried this yet or not. This'll really
help solve his problem if it works.
