To go from Word 6.0c to WPWin 6.1, you can open the document with WordPerfect
and have WordPerfect convert it. Alternatively, you can save the Word
document in WPDOS 5.1 format, and then open it with WPWin 6.1.

To go from WPWin 6.1 to Word 6.0c, save the document in WPDOS 5.1 format,
then open it with Word and have Word convert it. (I haven't tried saving
it in Word 2.0 format using WPWin 6.1.)
