Word to Works
This issue is both Works-related and Word-related, so I'll take my
chances and post it here. I have Word 2002 and have to draft a document for someone with some version of MS Works. (1) Can Works read RTF? (2) For automatically spaced paragraphs and indents and list numbering styles, would it be better to use RTF or the Works 2000 format? (3) Is there a site that lists what features Works does not support? -- JN jbn 'won'oh'won'six'won' at fastmail.fm Remove spaces, and substitute digits for the words between " ' " |

I don't know the answers to (2) and (3), but the answer to (1) is yes. I
believe it may also be able to read Word 6.0/95 format, but I won't swear to that. I believe the Works word processor can't create tables (you have to use the spreadsheet for those), so Word tables probably wouldn't survive. I'm reasonably certain autonumbering would fall over, and Works contains no styles, so presumably styles would be converted to direct formatting. You might learn more in the Works NG (microsoft.public.works.win). -- Suzanne S.

The burning question here relates to 'some version' of Works - which? Recent
versions of Works will open Word documents and RTF. The thing to do is ask the person in question to look at the file open dialog and see which file types are listed. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Joseph N. wrote: This issue is both Works-related and Word-related, so I'll take my chances and post it here.
