============================================================
1.0  General
============================================================

This macro is designed to convert between Word and Palm files. 
Primarily between Word and the Palm doc format, but also to iSilo, 
RichReader and WordSmith formats. It also converts between other 
database formats, will display file types and merges documents. If 
you have any suggestions, queries or problems, please contact me 
at pontius@free.net.nz.

This application is shareware and can be bought at www.handango.com 
or at www.palmgear.com.

iSilo: If iSiloX is installed, iSilo conversions will use iSiloX  
       by default. Otherwise iSiloXC will be used in the install
       directory.


*********************************************************************
!!IMPORTANT!!: You must have a Doc reader, WordSmith, iSilo  or 
RichReader to read the files once converted from Word to Palm format. 
*********************************************************************


For full instructions, see the manual under 
Start->Programs->Word2Doc->Word2Doc Manual.


============================================================
2.0  Installing
============================================================

The following steps will get you up and running with Word2Doc.

1) Ensure MSWord is closed.
   Open the downloaded Zip file and extract setup.exe file into 
   a temporary directory. Run the setup program from that 
   location and follow the instructions. To get the most out of
   Word2Docs conversion ability, it is recommended you install 
   the full version since this doesn't take up much more disk
   space than the compact version. It also allows the 
   conversions of iSilo, WordSmith, Tealdoc and Jfile.

2) Start MSWord and you should see a new toolbar with 3 buttons with
   stylised pictures of Palms on them:
    - T converts files from Word to the Palm
    - L checks Palm files, orders by name or type, and converts files.
    - Blank opens the Palm desktop

3) The manual can be opened at the end of the installation, or can be
   found from the Start menu.  
   
   The default location on the start menu is:
     Start->Programs->Word2Doc->Word2Doc Manual

***************************************************************
WordXP Users: Macros are turned off by default in WordXP, to 
       enable macros go to menu option Tools/Macro/Security... 
       and change to either Medium (recommended) or Low.
***************************************************************

============================================================
3.0  Uninstalling
============================================================

Use the Add-Remove Programs control panel document to
uninstall Word2Doc from your desktop.


============================================================
4.0  Product Limitations
============================================================

1) Limitations: This program works with Word97/2000/XP 
   running under Windows95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.

2) You must have a Doc reader installed for the converted file
   to appear on the Palm unit. Alternatively WordSmith, iSilo,
   RichReader or JFile are required if you convert the file to
   any of these formats.

3) WordSmith 2.1
   If you are using a version of WordSmith other than version 
   2.1, you must update the converter WSConv.exe. When 
   installing WordSmith, you are asked if you want a dos 
   converter, check the box to confirm this. Once installed, 
   move the file WSConv.exe to the Word2Doc directory, normally 
   C:\Docs. Word2Doc will alway support the latest version of 
   WordSmith.

4) RichReader now requires a setup file to be run, which 
   specifies where the converter is located. Since this setup 
   cannot be run when installing Word2Doc, the RichReader 
   converter is no longer provided. When RichReader is selected 
   as the File Type for conversion for the first time, you are 
   asked to specify the directory where RichReader is setup. 
   Only if you change this location (or reinstall the macro), 
   will you be prompted for this location again.

5) Jfile conversion has been added by numerous requests, but 
   Please Use With Great Caution! Word is not a great medium to 
   edit database information. No checks are made on validity of 
   database layout. Having said that, Ive found it handy myself 
   to quickly change data in existing Jfile databases. I open a 
   JFile database, change, then reconvert. So thank you to 
   everyone who pushed me into adding this feature.
