Word 5.50 Doc Error for Using WORD_DCA.EXE

5.50

MS-DOS

Summary:

The “Using Microsoft Word” version 5.50 manual includes an incorrect command for converting a document saved in the DCA (Document Content Architecture) file format to the Microsoft Word format.

The following command on page 631 is incorrect:

word-i=input_file1,…-c=dca,msw -o=output_file1,…

The command should read:

word_dca -i=input_file1,… -c=dca,msw -o=output_file1,…

Using the command as specified on page 631 of the “Using Microsoft Word” version 5.50 manual will execute the Word program and load the file that was entered in place of the “input_file1” parameter. The command on page 631 does not convert the file to Word format, so the file will not be readable (garbage characters) once loaded and should not be modified and saved to disk from within Word.

Before loading files in Microsoft Word, files saved in the DCA file format should be converted to Word format with the corrected command above.
