Opening legacy docs in MS Word
I'm really pleased that this is working so well for you but success is not guaranteed. I tried it to open a few (really) old Word files using version 14.4.1 of Word for Mac 2011 (which claims to be the latest). The files were generated on a Mac in 1989, my best recollection is that they were produced with Word 3.01. ---

hi kevin,

You had interspersed and deleted text in the file because it was saved with the "fast save" option (usually default at the time). This allowed a faster save of the file, when the machines were quite slow, just adding the changes at the original saved files and keeping note of it. It was also the best way to lose a file in a crash event. |
