= SUMMARY =

This article describes the method Word for MS-DOS uses to convert styles and style formatting when you open a Word for Windows or Word for the Macintosh document in Word for MS-DOS.

= MORE INFORMATION =

When you convert a Word for Windows or Word for the Macintosh document, Word for MS-DOS prompts you to attach a style sheet. If you attach a Word for MS-DOS style sheet, Word adds the document styles to your style sheet. Word saves these additions to the style sheet without asking if you want to save them. Word names the additional styles using the first two letters of the style name in Word for Windows or Word for the Macintosh. Word does not add the style if the name is the same as an existing style in the style sheet.

If you do not attach a style sheet when you convert the Word for Windows or Word for the Macintosh document, Word converts all the style formatting to direct formatting.
