2.00

MS-DOS

Summary:

The error message “Input file  is not a correct file type for conversion” will occur in the WPTOWP conversion program when the file is not in one of the appropriate formats for conversion. The following formats can be converted:


 * 1) Works Word Processor files
 * 2) Microsoft Word files
 * 3) DCA files
 * 4) RTF files

Please note that only word processor files can be converted.

Another cause for this message is if WPTOWP.EXE version 1.00 is used and the file to convert is generated from Works version 2.00. In this case, please update to version 2.00 of the WPTOWP conversion utility by calling the Microsoft Information Center at (800) 426-9400.

The version of the WPTOWP.EXE is displayed when the program is executed. Alternatively, you can check the file size: if the file size is 336,235 bytes, the version is 2.00; if the file size is 108,853 bytes, the version is 1.00.
