Summary:

Conversion of files to and from Samna Corporation’s Ami Professional word processor is not currently supported by Microsoft Word. However, Ami Word supports reading from and writing to Microsoft Word through version 5.50. Conversion can be performed directly or via Rich Text Format (RTF).

Support for Ami Professional file conversion filters are the sole responsibility of Samna Corporation. Microsoft has not tested this conversion and cannot guarantee the results.

For support with Ami Professional, contact Lotus Development Corporation at (404) 851-0007.

Note: Since the original release of Ami Professional, Samna Corporation has merged with Lotus Development Corporation.

When loading Microsoft Word and RTF files into Ami Professional, there are three Ami converter options for transferring Word styles.

  Keep Style Names Choose this option if style names exist in the Ami Professional document that match the style names in the Word or RTF document, and you want the Ami Professional style formats be retained.   Use Styles Choose this option if you want all the formats in the Word or RTF document (whether assigned by styles or by direct formatting) to be applied as text formats in the Ami Professional document.   Ignore Styles Choose this option if you want only direct character and paragraph formatting from the Word or RTF document to be applied as text formats in the Ami Professional document. 

Frames, embedded graphics, tables of contents, indexes, annotations, and bookmarks are not imported.

No page layout format information is imported. The imported file takes on the page format of the current Ami Professional style sheet.

If the printer file associated with the Microsoft Word document cannot be located, Ami Professional will ask for the path of the file. If Cancel is selected, the font information will be ignored.

If the style sheet associated with the Microsoft Word document cannot be located, Ami Professional will ask for the path of the file. If Cancel is selected, the styles will be ignored.
