### Converting a 4.x or 5.x dictionary file

1. Click the `Open` button on the toolbar.

   The File Open dialog box appears.

2. Select the old dictionary (*.DC5) file and click OK.

   The Select View dialog box appears, listing the names of all views from the old dictionary file.

3. Highlight the view you want to convert to a new dictionary file, and click OK.

   The Crystal Dictionary Expert appears with the data from the view you selected.

Note: This version of Crystal Dictionaries provides an easier and more powerful method for controlling data access than earlier versions. However, each view from an older dictionary file is handled as a separate dictionary in this version. An older dictionary file, on the other hand, held several views. To convert an entire dictionary 4.x or 5.x file, you must open each view in the file separately and save it as a new dictionary file.

1. Use the Expert to make changes to the new file.
2. When the file is saved, it will be saved in the new dictionary format (*.DC5).
