WD: The Purpose of the Select Method Check Box (134207)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95 7.0a
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q134207 SUMMARY
When you insert a database in Word for Windows 95, one of the options in
the File Open dialog box is Select Method. When you choose this option,
Select Method brings up a dialog box with the available converters and
allows you to select whether you want Word to use a converter, DDE, or ODBC
when importing data. If this option is not selected, Word examines the data
file's format and chooses the appropriate method on its own.
This option has the same function as the Confirm Conversions On Open option
in the Tools Options dialog box, but it is independent of that setting.
MORE INFORMATION
To locate this option, click Database on the Insert menu, and then click
Get Data. The Select Method option is located along the right edge of the
dialog box.
