SUMMARY
If you try to save a file to a nonstandard file format in Microsoft Word for the Macintosh and a message appears stating &quot;Low on Memory; Close All Windows and Save Changes,&quot; it is possible that only the following default formats appear in the Save and Save As dialog boxes:

Microsoft Mac Word 3.x

Interchange Format (RTF)

MacWrite When saving to foreign file formats, Word uses external converters. The external converters typically appear in the Save File As Type menu in the Save and Save As dialog boxes if they are available in the Word Commands folder. If Word is low on memory, it does not use the remaining memory to list these files. To make the foreign file formats available again, you must make more memory available to Word.

MORE INFORMATION
Word version 5.0 ships with the following external converters:

EPS/TIFF/PICT

MacWrite II

RFT-DCA

Text with Layout

Word for DOS 5.x
