DESCRIPTION
The PageMaker 3.x Converter converts PageMaker 3.x for the 
Macintosh publications to PageMaker 4.0, which you can then open 
in PageMaker 5.0 or later. This archive replaces the previous 
release of the PageMaker 3.x Converter (pm3pm4_5.sit.hqx). Other 
than making installation easier, this version of the PageMaker 
3.x Converter provides no additional or enhanced functionality.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
To convert a PageMaker 3.x publication to PageMaker 5.0 or later 
using the PageMaker 3.x Converter:
1.  Start the PageMaker 3.x Converter, which is in the Aldus 
PageMaker 3.x Converter folder. If the PageMaker 3.x Converter 
returns a hyphenation or dictionary alert while starting or 
opening a publication, click Continue.
2.  Choose File > Open, then select the PageMaker 3.x 
publication you want to convert. The PageMaker 3.x Converter 
opens an untitled copy of the publication.
3.  Choose File > Save As to save the converted publication. 
Give the publication a new name if you don't want the newly 
converted PageMaker 4.0 publication to replace the original 
PageMaker 3.x publication.
4.  Open the PageMaker 4.0 publication in PageMaker 5.0 or later.

Since the PageMaker 3.x Converter is a stripped-down version of 
PageMaker 4.0, do not use it to make changes to objects in your 
publications. PageMaker 5.0 and later can open PageMaker 4.0 
publications, but cannot open PageMaker 3.02 or earlier 
publications.

Converting a PageMaker 3.x publication may cause subtle changes 
to the publication. For example, lines of text may break at 
different points after PageMaker recomposes a story. For more 
information on converting PageMaker publications, see the 
PageMaker 4.x, 5.0x, or 6.x Getting Starting manual.

To remove the PageMaker 3.x Converter, delete the Aldus 
PageMaker 3.x Converter folder and its contents.KEYWORDS
