OVERVIEW
========
To use these converters with Word for Windows NT, first copy the Wpft532.cnv and/or Wpft632.cnv files to your Word for Windows NT program directory (usually C:\Winword), then copy Wpgimp32.flt to the <WindowsNT>\Msapps\Grphflt subdirectory (where <WindowsNT> is the path to your Windows NT program directory, usually C:\Winnt35), and then open a WordPerfect 5.x, 6.0, or 6.1 file. Following are detailed instructions.
1. If you received a disk with this Application Note, insert the disk
in the appropriate floppy disk drive.
If you downloaded this Application Note from an online service,
skip to step 2. This procedure assumes that you have already
downloaded and extracted the compressed file.
Prompt icon. When the MS-DOS prompt appears, type the following
command and press ENTER
copy <source>:\wpft*.cnv <NTWord>
where <source> is either the letter of your floppy disk drive or
the path to the directory containing the file you downloaded and
extracted from online services, and <NTWord> is the path to your
Word for Windows NT program directory (usually, C:\Winword). For
example, if you are installing from a floppy disk that you inserted
in drive A, and C:\Winword is the path to your Word for Windows NT
program directory, type the following command:
copy a:\wpft*.cnv c:\winword
Or, for example, if you downloaded Gc1183.exe from online services
to C:\Download and C:\Windows is the path to your Word for Windows
NT program directory, type the following command:
copy c:\download\wpft*.cnv c:\winword
NOTE: This command copies both the 5.x and 6.0/6.1 converters. If,
for example, you only need the 5.x converter, substitute
wpft532.cnv for wpft*.cnv in the COPY command examples above.
Windows NT program directory. For example, if you are installing
from a floppy disk that you inserted in drive A, and
C:\Winnt35\Msapps\Grphflt is the path to your Grphflt subdirectory,
type the following command:
copy a:\wpgimp32.flt c:\winnt35\msapps\grphflt
If the Grphflt subdirectory contains an earlier version of the
Wpgimp32.flt file, a message appears asking if it's okay to
overwrite the file. Press Y and then press ENTER.
If you are using Word for Windows NT, first quit and restart Word before continuing with the steps below.
1. On the Word File menu, click Open.
2. In the List Files Of Type list, click All Files.
3. In the File Name box, type or select the filename of the document
you want to open.
If the document you want to open does not appear in the File Name
box, select a different drive or directory.
5. In the Convert File dialog box, click the appropriate WordPerfect
5.x or 6.0 file format option, and click OK to convert a copy of
the document to Word format. (When Word converts and opens the
document, Word automatically installs the converter, and you should
now be able to open your WordPerfect documents in Word.)
