MSWORD 97 2000 XP to SUN conversion is the process of transforming a legacy .DOC document created in Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP into the SUN file format used by Sun Microsystems for document interchange. This conversion preserves the original text, basic formatting and embedded images while translating the file structure to the SUN specification so legacy Word content can be used in SUN-based workflows.
