Generally speaking, you can save something in rtf format and keep most or
all formatting. You will lose macros. If the versions of Word you are interested in are Word 97 and later, you can save in Word 97 format. Word's file structure has remained constant since Word 97 but features added later are not understood by earlier versions. The prime example is nested tables. See the nested tables tutorial at http://addbalance.com/word/download.htm. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
