It seems that I was a little vague in my posting. To be more specific,
I am running Ventura 3.0 Gold, Windows version, and WFW 1.0 (1.1
update is on the way). I see no reason why there should be incompat-
ibility between these two for-Windows programs. It even says right on
the box that documents can be read in from WFW. Perhaps I am doing
something wrong (just got the program). The full error message says
that the word-processor format is different than specified *or as
listed in the CHP (file?)*. Perhaps this is a clue. I don't have any
trouble pulling in ASCII or Wordstar files, though....

Thanks,
tom
