SUMMARY
Word 6.0 for Windows includes the following font mapping files. While previous versions of Word used font mapping files for import and export, Word 6.0 for Windows uses font mapping files for export only.

  Word for MS-DOS Export: RTF_PCW.TXT

Word for the Macintosh Export: RTF_MW5.TXT

RFT-DCA Export: RTF_DCA.TXT

WordPerfect 5.0/5.1 Export: RTF_WP5.TXT

Microsoft Works for MS-DOS Export: RTF_WWP.TXT Note: The Word for MS-DOS converter and font-mapping file are included on the Word 6.0 for Windows Supplemental File Conversion disks. The rest are included with the Word 6.0 for Windows package.

MORE INFORMATION
Each of the font-mapping files is actually a self-documenting text file located in the MSAPPS\TEXTCONV subdirectory of the Windows program directory (for example, C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\TEXTCONV).

To use any of the files, open the file in an ASCII text editor such as Notepad, edit the file according to the instructions it contains, rename the file with a .DAT extension, and place the file in the same directory as the converter (usually C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\TEXTCONV).

For a complete description of the mapping syntax, refer to the text files listed above.
