2. At the Windows desktop select Start - Run
3. Type C:\ScotWeave\System\Program\convert.exe
4. Click on OK
5. The ScotWeave File Conversion utility program will start

6. Check the "Location of OLD ScotWeave Files" box
7. Select A: Floppy/Removable Disk
8. Check the "Location of NEW ScotWeave Files" box
9. Select C: Local Hard Drive
10. Click on OK
11. Select Convert - ScotPaint (or some other file type)
12. ALL the ScotPaint files on the floppy disk will be converted
13. File - Exit from the Conversion program.

14. Start ScotWeave Artwork Designer as normal
15. Select File - Import - ScotPaint IMG File
16. Locate the folder where the converted files are stored
17. Select the file you wish to open

Note that the conversion process will use the same folder names and filenames as those used on the floppy disk.
