If you wanted exactly what would have been printed, on the emulator running Word for Mac 4.0 you should be able to install a print queue that can generate a .ps (Postscript) file, which would could be converted to PDF.
Or Acrobat may be available for that old of an OS and would have a virtual print driver to go directly to PDF.
- detourdog 3y agoI know I have running Macs with Word 5.1a which I consider the last Word version needed. I'm sure I opened Word 4.0 files.
- kps 3y agoYes, a few years ago I helped a friend recover a bunch of old documents. The solution was to use Mac Word 5 to open the Word 4 files and save them as something newer versions could read.
- jgrahamc 3y agoAh. Great suggestion! I just used Print2PDF to make a PDF from Word. Will update the blog.
