WINDOWS

Summary:

Microsoft Word for Window’s DCA/RFT (Revisable-Form Text Document Content Architecture) converter, CONV-DCA.DLL, is not designed to read from or write directly to DisplayWrite’s normal document. Attempting to do so will result in an error message similar to the following:

File is not a DCA document Cannot open document

Instead, DisplayWrite documents must first be saved from DisplayWrite to DCA/RFT format. For more information on saving in this interchange format from IBM DisplayWrite 4 (version 2), query on the following:
