Cathy,
Are you using Word6 for Windows or for DOS? I have Word6 for Windows and
if you choose File and then the Save As option, the Save As dialog box
will pop up. In the dialog box is a drop-down list for Save File as
Type. Here you can choose to save the file under many different formats,
including WordPerfect, Word for Macintosh, and Word for MS-DOS 3.x-5.x.
If you are using Word6 for DOS, check to see if there is something
similar.
To my knowledge, there is no version 5.x of Word for Windows. I believe
they skipped directly from 2.x to 6.0.
Hope this helps
Scott Browne
