If you have upgraded from version 4.0 of Plan Write you may have prior plans you would like to use with the new software. The only action you must take is to copy (not move) the desired plan files from the directory containing your earlier release of Plan Write (probably PWriteM4) to the directory containing the new version of Plan Write. The plan files will have the name you assigned to them followed by a suffix of .BPW or .BDW.
After you have copied the plan files to the Plan Write 5.0 directory, initiate Plan Write, click the Open an Existing Plan icon and select the desired plan from the file list. Plan Write will automatically convert the file to the new 5.0 format.
Warning: Once you have opened the file with Plan Write 5.0 it will not work with earlier versions of the software.
