Posting this for the "other half". He is still using Word 97. He hasn't changed anything within the program and suddenly his WordStar filters aren't working. This is a Big Problem because he has zillions of vintage WordStar files that he needs to dip into occasionally. When I first found the WS converters for him (year? ago) I suggested that he convert the whole lot to Word format ASAP, but this never happened ... and now here we are with a crisis. Any ideas? Could the switch to XP or XP SP2 have done it? I'm not exactly sure when it stopped working.
