IMPORTANT! Use the correct folder and registry patch for your Windows version! 

These are old and discontinued Microsoft filters and may produce a security warning when used. Ensure that Legacy file formats are enabled in Word's Security Options File Block settings.


Windows 32 bit (Most, if not all currently produced PCs are 64 bit. The 32 bit versions are included for completeness)

Copy the enclosed CNV files into the folder:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TextConv

and merge the registry file "Works Text Converters.reg" with your registry.



Windows 7 64 bit

Copy the enclosed CNVs file to the folder

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TextConv

and merge the registry file "Works Text Converters 64 bit.reg" with your registry.


Also included are registry patches to remove the registry entries should the converters not work for you.

The CNV files will however have to be removed manually from the appropriate folder.

The registry files may be viewed in Notepad should you be concerned about what might be being installed in your registry.
