Q115784

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

The Word for Windows ODA (FOD-26) Converter Kit includes a setup program that allows you to select English, French, or German installation.

By default, the program writes the ODA converter and all supporting files to your Word 6.0 for Windows program directory and registers the converter in the [MS Word Text Converters] section of the WINWORD6.INI initialization file in your Windows directory.

Setup also allows you to specify an alternative directory location for the converter files. This directory must be located on your MS-DOS path or Word will not be able to use the converter.


MORE INFORMATION

The ODA converter is registered in the [MS Word Text Converters] section of WIN.INI as follows: 


ODA-ODIF FOD-26=ODA-ODIF FOD-26, C:\TEST\ODA\odabi.cnv, odf
The files installed by Setup (depending on whether you choose the English, German, or French setup option) include:

The Setup utility does not include an uninstall feature. Given all nine files are installed in a single directory, and only one line is added to WINWORD6.INI, manual removal is not difficult.

The converter will only recognize ODA documents with an .ODF file extension by default (Word does not automatically recognized .ODF files based on file header information). You can add additional expected file extensions to the converter entry in the [MSWord Text Converters] section of the WINWORD6.INI file so that the converter will recognize files with other file extensions than .ODF. Add each additional extension to the end of the converter entry, separated from prior entries by a space.
