Hi Liliana,

Ummm, not quite They're related but MS Word v2.0
is ~1983, Word 2000 is v10.0

No - but with the appropriate filter installed Word 2000 will open Word 2.0
files.

Hi Liliana,

Although the file formats are the same, later versions of Word support
features that the earlier versions don't. If you've created/edited a file in
Word 2000 and you do so using features not supported by an earlier version
(eg cantered tables), the unsupported features may not be reproduced
correctly when the file is viewed in the earlier version. This can be
controlled by setting the later version to format the document in a way that
is compatible with the earlier version (see under
Tools|Options|Compatibility|"Recommended options for:").

Cheers

The file formats are *not* the same. The file format changed with Word 97.

Ah, yes, of course. I used Word 6 - with the Word 97 filters - for so long
after Word 2.0 came out, that the process was seamless.

Cheers
