WINDOWS

Summary:

If you load Microsoft Word for Windows, then close it and modify the conversion DLL installs in the WIN.INI file, and restart Word for Windows, the Word for Windows conversion utility does not reflect the modified state of the [Microsoft Word] section of WIN.INI.

In Word for Windows version 2.0, the converters are listed under the [MSWord Text Converters] section in the WIN.INI file.

You must exit Windows and restart if you modify WIN.INI to view any changes because Windows keeps an internal copy of WIN.INI. This occurs if you edited WIN.INI; Windows does not detect changes and does not reread the WIN.INI contents. Windows is designed to operate this way. Any editing of the WIN.INI file is not reflected without closing and restarting Windows.
