WD: The Purpose of the Select Method Check Box

SUMMARY

When you insert a database in Word for Windows 95, one of the options in the File Open dialog box is Select Method. When you choose this option, Select Method brings up a dialog box with the available converters and allows you to select whether you want Word to use a converter, DDE, or ODBC when importing data. If this option is not selected, Word examines the data file's format and chooses the appropriate method on its own.

This option has the same function as the Confirm Conversions On Open option in the Tools Options dialog box, but it is independent of that setting.
