Opening AmiPro WP files with Word 2003

[David Kirk]

I have a bunch of ancient (1996) files on 3.5 inch floppies that were
generated in AmiPro. Where can I get a utility that will allow me to open
them in Word 2003?

The old AmiPro converter is no longer available from Microsoft, but you
can download it from Word MVP Graham Mayor's website
http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm . Be sure to copy the files from
the floppies to your hard drive, and open the copies on your hard drive
in Word 2003. Attempting to open the files directly from the floppies
in Word 2003 will probably corrupt the files.

Thanks! You're the best!
