[Papyrus-L] Papyrus and Word 2002

[Raisa Deber]

Hi, Tom.  You have to downsave to Word 6.0/95 format.  Weird things  
get introduced in the format otherwise, and text extract won't work  
at all.
As to what you lose in the process, see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291337
Which does indicate that Word 2002 supports this format!  (Now, as to  
how to do it, I'm not sure, but your technical staff should know.)

If you have a Mac, the Classic version (Papyrus 8) does work with  
later Word files.
Hope this helps.
