SUMMARY
This article (Part 1 of 2) provides information about what happens when you convert a Microsoft Word 2000 document to Word 6.x or Word 7.0 format.

NOTE: Word 95 and Word 6.x implement a 32-MB limit for document file size. If you are saving a large document with a lot of graphics from Word 2000 to the Word 6.0/95 format and receive a message, it is recommended that you break up the Word 2000 document into smaller files before saving it in the Word 6.0/95 (*.doc) format.

For Part 2 of this article, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

216920 Part 2: Limitations Converting from Word Document Format to Word 6.0/95 Format

The following tables show the elements that Word changes or removes upon saving as Word 6.0/95.
