MacLink+ is an industrial strength file translator. It will allow you to take an AW file and save it as a Word 5.1 file or in any number of other word processor formats. The only caveat here is that as ML+ has increased its version numbers it has dropped some translators. Tee you have a more recent version than mine, I know mine (v9.0) does Word 5.1 how about yours? I find that with AW6 and the Word translators included I don't have too many problems as long as it is mostly the content that is wanted. There are some problems with translating documents with a lot of formatting - specifically tables and bullets etc. that do not in my experience come out the best. _________________________________________________ For information concerning the MUGLO List just click on http://muglo.on.ca/pages/members.html#Joinmuglo Don't forget to periodically check our web site at: http://muglo.on.ca/
