= SUMMARY =

Document files (.DOC), style sheets (.STY), glossaries (*.GLY), and dictionaries created in Word versions 3.00 and later can be used with Word version 5.50.

Glossaries created in Word versions 3.00, 3.10, 3.11, and 4.00 that contain macros will need to be converted to use Word version 5.00 command syntax. To convert the macros, use the MACROCNV.EXE conversion utility provided with Word 5.00.

Glossaries containing macros that were created in Word 5.00 (or created in previous versions of Word and converted to use Word 5.00 command syntax) will need to be converted to use Word version 5.50 command syntax. To convert the macros, use the MACROCNV.EXE conversion utility provided with Word 5.50.
