SUMMARY
=======

This article describes the method Word for MS-DOS uses to convert
styles and style formatting when you open a Word for Windows or Word
for the Macintosh document in Word for MS-DOS.

MORE INFORMATION
================

When you convert a Word for Windows or Word for the Macintosh
document, Word for MS-DOS prompts you to attach a style sheet. If you
attach a Word for MS-DOS style sheet, Word adds the document styles to
your style sheet. Word saves these additions to the style sheet
without asking if you want to save them. Word names the additional
styles using the first two letters of the style name in Word for
Windows or Word for the Macintosh. Word does not add the style if the
name is the same as an existing style in the style sheet.

If you do not attach a style sheet when you convert the Word for
Windows or Word for the Macintosh document, Word converts all the
style formatting to direct formatting.
