Summary:

To transfer files from Word version 4.0 to MacWrite II, you must first save the file in Word version 3.0 or MacWrite format.

The complete steps for transferring files from Microsoft Word 4.0 to MacWrite II are as follows:

  In Word 4.0, choose Save As from the File menu.   Click File Format and choose either Microsoft Word 3.0/Microsoft Write or MacWrite format. Click OK.   Type a name for the file and click Save.   Quit Microsoft Word 4.0 and start MacWrite II.   From the File menu, choose Open. Make sure the list box after Show is either “Microsoft Word,” “MacWrite,” or “All Available.” Note: The Claris Translators folder on the MacWrite Reference disk contains translator utilities. These translators must be in the same folder as the MacWrite II icon before you will see the “Show: All Available” option in the Open dialog box.   Click the file that you saved in Word 4.0. 

The above procedure should retain all basic formatting, text editing, and graphics.

Note: MacWrite II and MacWrite don’t save in the same format.
