Introduction
The
Brother
Conversion
software
allows
you
to
convert
documents
between
different
word
processing
formats
and
the

files
created
by
one
word
processing
program
(source
files)
and
converts
them
to
Brother
files
(destination
files),
and
vice
versa.
Practically
all
the
formatting,
text
enhancement,
and
other
control
codes
are

so
that
little
or
no
touching
up
of
the
converted
