The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b,
   2.0c, 6.0
 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
The bullets are lost when you open a Word 6.0 document containing bulleted
paragraphs in headers, footers, and/or annotations into Word 2.0 for
Windows using the MSWORD6.CNV converter supplied with Word 6.0 or the Word
6.0 for Windows Converter Kit (part number 059-150-345).
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with these two versions of the
MSWORD6.CNV converter. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
Save your document as Word 2.0 for Windows format from within Word 6.0 and
then open it in Word 2.0. When documents are converted in this manner, the
problem does not occur.
