MICROSOFT WORD VERSION 5.0
RTF (CONVERSION LIMITATIONS AND CUSTOMIZABLE FONT MAPPING)

This file explains certain limitations on conversions
between documents formatted in Word and those formatted in
RTF (Rich Text Format). It also explains how to create
custom font mapping files for use with the conversion
utility.

CONVERSION LIMITATIONS:

Conversion to or from RTF affects the following Word Version
5.0 features:

Headers and Footers:

. Headers and footers must appear at the beginning of the
  division in the Word document in order to be converted.
. If a header is formatted to appear on odd or even pages
  and the first page, the conversion generates two
  headers with the same text in the RTF file.  The first
  header is formatted as odd/even, the second as first-
  page only.
. RTF headers and footers are assumed to run through all
  divisions of the document.  In Word, they must be reset
  in every division.  This does not affect Word-to-RTF-
  to-Word conversions, but it may affect conversions from
  Word to RTF, and then on to other word processor
  formats.

Margins:

. Top and bottom margins can be set only once in RTF.
  The first top and bottom margin settings in the Word
  document determine the RTF margins for the entire RTF
  document.  Subsequent margin changes in the Word
  document are ignored.
. Page length and width can be set only once in RTF.  The
  first page length and width set for the first division
  determine the RTF page length and width.

Paragraph Shading and Borders:

. Paragraph shading is ignored when converting to RTF.
. Bold Word borders are translated to thick RTF borders.
. Thick RTF borders become bold when converted into Word.

Font Color:

. Font color is not translated in the conversion.

Graphics:
. Graphics do not convert.  The tag converts as text.

CUSTOMIZABLE FONT MAPPING

You can create your own font-mapping tables to override some
or all of the built-in font conversions provided by the
conversion utility.  The tables are two ASCII files:
RTF-PCW.DAT, to map RTF fonts to Word font numbers, and
PCW-RTF.DAT, to map Word font numbers to RTF fonts.  The
files must be in the same directory as the document or the
conversion utility.  You can create an ASCII file in Word by
choosing Transfer Save and selecting the
"Text-only-with-line-breaks" option.

The entries in the file map Word font numbers to and from
RTF fonts.  The names of fonts are not case-sensitive, but
the lines in the tables must run in ascending order by the
first character of each line (a-z, 0-9).  Comments may be
inserted in the file with a "#" character, either at the
beginning of a line or after the font mapping entry.

RTF-PCW.DAT

To map RTF fonts to Word format, you can create the file
RTF-PCW.DAT. Each line of the file must be in the following
format:

FontName;WordFontNumber

Example:
courier;8
timesroman;16

The first line in this example changes all RTF characters in
Courier to Word characters in font 8 (Helvetica). The second
line converts all RTF characters in Times Roman to Word
characters in font 16 (Roman a).

A list of all Word font numbers and what they mean appears
in the font table near the top of every RTF file.  For more
information about Word's font number system, see pages 251-
253 in "Printer Information for Microsoft Word."

PCW-RTF.DAT

To map Word font numbers to RTF fonts and font families, you
can create the file PCW-RTF.DAT. Each line of the file must
be in the following format (brackets indicate an optional
item):

WordFontNumber;FontName[,FontFamily]

Example:
8;courier,modern
16;timesroman,roman

The first line in this example changes all Word characters
in font 8 (Helvetica) into RTF characters in Courier. The
second line converts all Word characters in font 16 (Roman
a) to RTF characters in Times Roman.
