Hi folks:

I'm posting this on behalf of a local EN+ user.  He has been trying to
format a document prepared in Word 6.0 (DOS).  When he tries to format
using EN+ he gets a message to the effect that there is "no wordprocessor
header" on the file. He can open the file in MS RTF format, and format it
using EN+.  However, when he then tries to open the formatted file using
Word his software doesn't see it.  As I'm a Mac user I can't help him apart
from suggesting he revert to Word 5, or check on what format he's saving
the original file in.  Any suggestions?  I'll be happy to pass them on
(he's not Internet connected yet).

Yours, virtually:-
