SUMMARY
Included in your SGML Author package are three ready-to-use examples of documents, templates, and association files (.dta). These files are included to help you get started using SGML Author's converter.

MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft recommends that you start with the included sample files located in the \SGMLCONV\SAMPLE subfolder (where  is your Word for Windows subfolder--usually, C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Winword).

To verify that SGML Author is performing conversions properly, use the following steps:


 * 1) In Word for Windows, click Open on the File menu, and then select the Sample.doc document located in the \Sgmlconv\Sample subfolder.
 * 2) Click OK. If you are prompted for an initialization file, select Sample.ini and then click OK.
 * 3) On the File menu, click Save As SGML. The Save As SGML macro will now perform a number of tasks:
 * 4) * Asks you if you want to save the Word document prior to conversion. If you choose Yes, the macro saves the document.
 * 5) * Asks you for the association (*.dta) file used during the conversion. You should select Sample.dta and then click OK.
 * 6) * Converts the document based on the association file.
 * 7) * Opens and displays the feedback file.
 * 8) At completion of this task, the macro displays a dialog box stating that "Your document converted without any modifications." The Sample feedback file should appear without any annotations, indicating that there were no problems with the conversion.
