Dale Shipp was put on waivers for telling All:
 DS> When I want to go from O97 to Word 6.0, a straight save does not
 DS> work ... I do a SAVE AS into Word 6.0/95.
 DS> However -- when I go to read that file into Word 6.0, it is
 DS> converted from Rich Text Format.  Why is it in that and not in Word
 DS> 6.0?? 
     This was intentional, according to Microsoft, because "RTF is a
     universal format that can be read by nearly any word processor,
     even those not made by Microsoft," and "RTF is not susceptible
     to some viruses that can infect 'Word' files."
     
     Microsoft has released free "converter" programs that fix this.
     You can get them from their web site (http://www.microsoft.com).
