Hi, Paul.
As far as I understand it, Word 6 and Word 7 (for Windows 95) files
are totally interchangeable. You should not need a converter to share
these files.
If you have Word 6 and your colleague has Word 8 for Office 97, you DO
need a converter.
Either way, you can check out www.microsoft.com/word and search for
what you need. The converter we used to share our Word 6 and Office
97 documents is wrd97cnv.exe.
