[comp.sys.mac] MS Word format TechNotes

sklein@cdp.UUCP (07/01/89)

But JIMim, MS Word can read MacWrite format documents.  You can open them
from the Word file menu.  Heck, you can even open MacPaint documents from
MS Word 4.0.

Hmmm.  Seems that my comment re: printing the MacWrite format files was not
specific enough.  (No flame.)  Anyway, to elaborate:  yes, I know that Word
can read MacWrite format files, but I do not wish to, one by one, read them
into Word (dum de de de dum de dum) and then print them out one at a time.
I'd much rather select them all (or at least 30 or 50 at a time) and choose
the Print option from w/in Finder.  Much less time I have to sit in front
of that Mac.  (I can even divide the files up & run 3 Macs at a time.)
(Disclaimer: Macs & LaserWriters are Univ. owned, not mine ;-)

Anyway, It would appear that I'll have to search thru my old disks & find a
copy of MacWrite to do this.  So, does 4.5 work w/ Sys 6.02?

Thanks to all responces anyway.
