• Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

To obtain the latest version of the Word for Windows 1.x converter, WORDWIN1.CNV, for use with Word 6.0 (whether Word has been purchased as part of Microsoft Office or separately) you can order or download the Word for Windows 6.0 Supplemental File Conversions Disk.
