Summary:

If you save a file from Microsoft Word version 4.00 in Interchange Format (RTF) and then attempt to import that file into T/Maker’s WriteNow, you will get the alert message “Bad RTF Version Number.” This is a restriction created by T/Maker.

To correctly save the Word 4.00 file for use in WriteNow, do the following:


 * 1) Open the file in Word 4.00.
 * 2) From the File menu, choose Save As.
 * 3) Click the File Format button. Select the Interchange Format (RTF) option and click OK.
 * 4) Type a name for the file and click Save. The document will then be displayed in RTF format.
 * 5) Change the first six characters of the file to read “{” (without the quotation marks), from “{”.
 * 6) From the File menu, choose Save As. Before clicking the Save button, make sure the file format is displayed as “Text Only.”
