whoops, a caveat to that:

If a document was saved as Word97 and you open it, it will be saved
quietly as a word97 file and Clippit will not complain that it was not
saved as word6.0/95.

Anyone want to confirm that?

The three biggest software lies:
        (1) *Of course* we'll give you a copy of the source.
        (2) *Of course* the third party vendor we bought that from
            will fix the microcode.
        (3) Beta test site?  No, *of course* you're not a beta test
site.
