How to read "Professional Write" texts using "Word"?
I have older documents which were written using a DOS program "Professional
Write 2" (PW2). My newly installed Microsoft Word cannot read it although I have tried several of the "other" codes the pop up window listed. "Word" can read .prn files allright but no PW2 files. What can be done? |

Maybe nothing. Did you try Google to see if there was anything at all on the
web about that program? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Eric" wrote in message ... I have older documents which were written using a DOS program "Professional Write 2" (PW2).

You'll need a third party converter such as Wordport to do this.

I know this doesn't even approach answering your question but Professional
Write is/was my all time favorite of word processors and, likewise, Professional File for my simple database needs. I still miss them after all these years. "Eric" wrote in message ...
