I have several floppy disks saved in the old Ami Pro .sam format which I cannot open. Is there a way to convert these sam type docs so I can read/edit on Word or Libre or OpenOffice?

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

If you or anyone you know has any previous version of MS Office, and they
installed the additional converters that were available on the MS Office
Update web site, these include a converter for Ami Pro 3.0. It will be
stored in:c:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedTextConvami332.cnv
or wherever your Program Files folder is, if not on c:
This file will work with Word 2003. It will give a warning that opening an
Ami Pro 3.0 file is a possible security risk, but then will open normally if
you ask it to.The new version the converters, in ORK.exe on the MS Office Update web site
no longer includes a converter for Ami Pro.– Colin
