Summary:

Documents in Microsoft Word versions 3.x or 4.0 for the Macintosh cannot be directly saved in RFT-DCA file format. To convert a file to RFT-DCA file format using these versions of Word, do the following:

  Open the file in Word 3.x or 4.0. Note: Make sure that Short Menus appears on the Edit menu (meaning that Full Menus is the current mode).   From the File menu, choose Save As.   Click the File Formats button.   Select the RTF (Interchange Format) option. Click the OK button.   Save the file with a new name.   If you are working with Word 3.x, use the DCA Conversion utility provided on the Utilities disk to convert the RTF file to DCA file format. If you are working with Word 4.0, use Apple File Exchange (AFE) and the AFE script provided on the Utilities 2 disk to complete the conversion to DCA.
