Chela, what version of IBM Lotus Symphony are you running? I'm running 3.0.
When I start the program and press ctrl O to open a file, I get a dialog box
which has a Files of Type drop-down box at the bottom where I can specify
Microsoft Word 97-2003 doc files. I think this is built into Symphony but
I'm not positive if I had to select any file conversion options when I
installed it since it's been a while ago.
And if you still have Microsoft Office 2003, I would strongly recommend
installing that instead of Office 2010. I'm still running Office 2002 also
known as Office XP.
Alan
