Converting documents
You can convert multiple documents created with previous versions of the
AppleWorks application or with different applications to the current
AppleWorks format at one time. Use the Convert Documents script (a script
is a command that performs one action or sequence of actions). When you
convert documents, only a copy is converted; the original documents remain
in the format used to create them.
Note To convert a FileMaker Pro file, you use instructions different from
those that follow. See “Merging data into documents (mail merge)” on page
9-22.
