Word 2003 Save As types
I have installed Word 2003 in 2 machines. In one machine, in the "Save As
type" combo box in the Save As dialog box, I have an item "Word 97-2002 & 6.0/95 -RTF (*.doc)". But in the other machine, I see "Word 97-2000 & 6.0/95 -RTF (*.doc)" in its place. What is this difference due to? |

The dialog comes from the registry -
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Text Converters\Import and is associated with the particular version of the RTF import filter installed at the time (or what was already installed on an updated machine). The filters have been subject to change by security updates. I wouldn't worry too much about this, unless you are having difficulty opening old files on one or other of these platforms. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Paramesh wrote: I have installed Word 2003 in 2 machines.

Hi,
I have a related question. I noticed that Word 2003 does not have 'Save As Type' Word 6.0/95. Is there a way I can save my Word document as Word 6.0/95. Word 6.0/95 files are much smaller in size and that matters above all else as we work over the network with large word documents. Can I move a convertor file in place and edit registry settings to get the 'Save as Type' to appear in Word 2003? Inputs are highly appreciated!

I found the file size increasing even more than the original file size when I
saved using the option 'Word 97-2003 and 6.0/95 RTF' For instance a 8 MB file went to 9 MB when I saved as 'Word 97-2003 and 6.0/95 RTF'. Earlier when I had Word 2000, I'd managed to Save As Word 6.0/95 file of approx 2 MB. ( As I remember, I managed to get that option in my Save As Type list in Word 2000 with a little help from you, Suzanne!) "Suzanne S.

Eapen
Did you ever get a solution to the Word 6.0/95 converter? I have two machines running Word 2003 (same patches, etc) and one has the Word 6.0/95 converter and one doesn't. Of course it's my machine that has the converter (and I probably downloaded and ran something, but what?). Any info would help Thanks Leon P.S. Yes, tried the "Word 97-2003 and 6.0/95 RTF" option and it changed my 144KB file into over 3000KB.

Thanks for your prompt reply Yes, had already grabbed it from your web site - believe it or not the user did not like the "- old filter" in the name of the converter - "didn't look authentic, not like the old machine" - but thanks heaps anyway Leon |

You can edit the registry entry to remove ' -old filter'. I added that as I
have both filters and it makes it easier to identify which you are using.
