Word Processor & Typesetter Conversions


Convert from legacy Word Processor and Typesetter formats

Our word processor conversions are high-quality. We convert most formatting codes, preserving page layout, margins, indents, tabs, bold, italics, headers, footers, fonts, etc. The quality of our conversions saves you significant time in clean-up, compared to a simpler text conversion.

DISC has performed large typesetter conversion jobs

Important message:
Disc Interchange Service Company, Inc. will be closing on December 31, 2015, due to the Massachusetts Data Security Law, 201 CMR 17.00.  The new law prohibits us from receiving or shipping tapes or disks containing Personal Information on Massachusetts residents, and has wiped-out about 95% of our business.

For more information about the law and how it affected us, please see: The Massachusetts Data Security Law

Yes, we still convert files from the old dedicated Word Processors. We can convert 8", 5.25", and 3.5: disks, including the hard sector 8" Wang disks. Documents can be converted to Word, WordPerfect, and many other PC WP programs. Please note that we no longer convert from one PC WP format to another PC WP program, as there is little need for such conversions today.
