MS-DOS

Summary:

Word for Word Professional is a document conversion program, developed and supported by Mastersoft Corporation, that includes support for Microsoft Word for MS-DOS through version 5.5 as well as various other Microsoft word processing formats. This support is provided via a stand-alone shell conversion program that calls upon individual MS-DOS (.EXE) modules for each particular conversion as requested.

Batch file conversion allows you to tag multiple files from different directories, or allows you to use MS-DOS wildcards or command line operation to convert up to 1000 files in a single session.

Word for Word also provides auto-file recognition, and allows you to capture non convertible features as embedded codes in the converted document to assist in reconstruction post-conversion.

The current version of Word for Word Professional as of July 1, 1992 is version 5.1.
