Is there a way to import and convert old Wordstar files under word 2003 ? The conversion utilities don't seem to work and I didn't find anything in the database.

Hi Ricky,

See http://www.wordstar.org/wordstar/pages/convert_faq.htm.

If you can't find a suitable converter for free or cheap, have a look
at DataViz Conversions Plus at

Hi, ricky. If you have access to a computer that has Word 97 with supplemental text converters installed, copy the wrdstr32.cnv file from that computer to your computer's Office 2003 text converter folder (the default location in Office 2003 is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TextConv). The wrdstr32.cnv converter file can open WordStar 3.3-7.0 for MS-DOS and WordStar for Windows 1.0-2.0 files, and save as WordStar 4.0 or 7.0 for MS-DOS files.

You can grab the old Wordstar converter from the downloads page of my web
site. It works with the current versions of Word.
