This is only true if you have obtained CVWW6X.EXE from the Corel web/ftp
site and installed it.  It adds filters for Word 6 reading and writing
to 6.1.  I haven't tried to do so,  but I have heard it can be used with
6.0a also.  If you have no way to get it,  let me know and I will email
you a uuencoded (or base64 encoded) copy.

The Micro$oft ftp site has a filter for Word 6 that allows you to read
(not write) WP 6.1 format.  I don't recall the name and I do not have a
copy on hand.
