The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 5.0, 5.1

SUMMARY
When using Microsoft Word for the Macintosh to convert documents originally created in other programs, the name of the converter may appear more than once when you begin the conversion. This occurs because Word uses external converters (files that are separate from the Word program itself). These files are typically found in the Word Commands folder; however, you can also install them in the same folder as Word, the System folder, or the Desktop of the current startup volume. If you have multiple copies of the converter, multiple names appear in the converter dialog box.

To correct this problem, remove the extra copy of the converter file in question.

MORE INFORMATION
The converters that are external to Word include the following:
