Download the RFTDCA conversion from Microsoft.  Then you can create a WORD
document, safe it in RFTDCA format, and copy it to a folder on the AS/400.
You can then edit the document using Office.  You can not, however, add help
text labels in Word.  These will have to be added using Office.

The conversion of the document from EDTTXT to Office is part of Office, but
the capabilities are limited.  Al Barsa can give you details on how to
convert the EDTTXT document to Office directly.
