OK. I'll take that as a "no" then. :-)
You were given direct evidence. That's counts as a "yes" in my book. ;)
Word 95 files cannot be opened directly with Office 2000 (and presumably
later). The Microsoft-supplied converter will work, but files cannot be
saved from Office 2000 back to Word 95 format.
I actually converted my resume from Word 95 to StarOffice (at the time),
and I actually *bought* the New Century Schoolbook font from Adobe so
that I had a version that I could save out into whatever stupid
Microsoft format I needed for an HR department.
The problem is actually bigger than Microsoft. It's in having archival
documents in *any* format that is not fully documented.
NASA is going nuts over this. Much of the historic data is in
proprietary formats that have been lost with time.
