You have a newer version of Word? You should be able to save as RTF from
your version, and Word97 will have no problem reading the RTF file.
RTF readers just ignore all features they don't know.
And when Word saves as RTF, it puts in a lot of additional information just
to make sure that older versions can handle features that didn't exist at
the time.

wrd97cnv.exe is a converter that allows you to read Word97 docs in older
versions like Word95.

Thank you very much for your response. It turns out I do have RTF as you
suggested. I simply had never had need of it before and didnt realize until
you explained that I could go to Save As and save it as an RTF! Sometime the
obvious answers are not obvious until someone points them out!
