Hell, even M$ can't do it! I have tons of old Word RFT files that were orphaned by the installation of a newer of M$ Word. The upgrade actually deleted older versions of Word and then would not open the older files because of security concerns (they were create by an older version, duh). It was a nightmare -- as a result, I lost years of business correspondence. Now I make z text version of every document I write. If I wanted to get those old files back, I will have to set up an older computer, reinstall the older version of Word and then transfer those files, convert them to text, and bring them back. That's a lot of work because I trusted M$ to respect older files, but they don't. In short, don't trust M$. Cheers, tedd _____________________ tedd@sperling.com http://sperling.com
