In the full version the converter may be installed in the converter menue of MS-Word. Only a single format is supported by a converter DLL in this case. After the installation you may open a foreign format document in MS-Word. The conversion will take place in the background without user interaction, and the converted text will be placed in the editing window. Likewise you may store the document in the foreign format with the "Save as, Options" menues.
