Many enhancements have been made in Word Pro 97, but to fully take
advantage of these enhancements, you must convert your existing files
to the new file format.

One way to do this is to simply open the file in Word Pro and save
the file again.  You may see a message in the status bar indicating
"Checking Document Consistency."  This simply means Word Pro has
detected a file created with a previous version of Word Pro, and is
attempting to optimize the file for use with Word Pro 97.

To automate things, we have added some command line options to
Word Pro to allow this conversion process to be done with batch
files.  See below for details on the command line options.

For your convenience, we have provided a batch file (WP96TO97.BAT)
which will convert all the Word Pro files in a given directory to
WP97 format and overwrite the existing files.  Feel free to alter
this file, or use it as a guide for making your own batch files to
ease the conversion process.  Note that you may CALL this file from
other BAT files to convert many directories at once.

To convert a Word Pro file using command line options, you must specify
which Word Pro file to open and where to save the converted version of
the file.  By default, Word Pro will save in Word Pro 97 format and
will not overwrite an existing file.  You may optionally indicate to
save in Word Pro 96 format (which may offer some improvements) and to
overwrite an existing file.

Syntax:
	wordpro /f d:\path\filename /k[96][o] d:\path\filename
Where:
	/f d:\path\filename
		indicates the file to open
	/k[96][o] d:\path\filename
		indicates the file to save as
		if present, 96 indicates save in Word Pro 96 format
		if present, o indicates overwrite an existing file

Notes:
	Because '-' is valid in long filenames, you must use '/' as the
		switch character.
	Case is not significant for the options ('f', 'k', 'o').
	While it is possible to specify multiple files to open via the
		'/f' option, only one '/k' option and file may be
		specified, and it will apply to the first file specified
		via '/f'.
	If no path is specified for the files, Word Pro will assume the
		files are in your documents directory (as specified in
		user setup).
	The default setting in WP97 is to disable small file format.
		So if you resave to WP96 format, your files may get larger
		if they were previously saved with small file format
		enabled.
