Renumber Fixer for newer MSWord files.

Runs under Classic

Since the appearance of Microsoft Word 98, Word has changed the file type of its RTF files from TEXT to RTF. Because of this, Jonathan Mead's Renumber program does not recognise the new RTF files. This folder contains a simple Drag and Drop utility to change a Word RTF file into the type that Renumber can recognise.

To use it, simply drag one or more Word RTF files onto the converter and it will convert each of the files. Since this is a drag and drop utility, I recommend putting it (or an alias to it) on the desktop where you can drag things onto it easily.

The program ends with a dialogue box that tells you that whether it converted the file.

Remember: The converter does not convert a regular Word file into an RTF file. You must use the Save As command inside Word to do this. Once you have done this, use the converter before opening the RTF file with Renumber.

Although the converter works fine under Classic in OS X, a simple solution (which I currently use) is the very useful xFiles utility ($20.00 shareware, and well worth it). It allows one to change all sorts of file attributes in an easy to use interface. Just drag your RTF file onto an xFiles window and change the file type to TEXT. xFiles is available here: xFiles
