Older FileMaker Pro databases may need to be shared as Word documents when a recipient cannot open the database or only needs a printable record list. Converting the records to DOC makes them readable and editable in word-processing software, but does not turn the document into a working database.
What the FP3 format is
FP3 is a database file format used by FileMaker Pro 3. It stores database records and fields for use in FileMaker Pro, and is typically encountered in archives of databases created with older FileMaker versions.
What the DOC format is
DOC is the binary document format used by older versions of Microsoft Word. It is suited to editable reports, letters, and tables that recipients can open in Word or compatible office software. Unlike FP3, DOC does not preserve database fields as searchable, relational records or retain database scripts.
How to convert FP3 to DOC
Online on 101convert.com
- Open the FP3-to-DOC converter page on 101convert.com and upload the FP3 file.
- Start the conversion, then download the resulting DOC file.
The page supports batch conversion of several files. It displays a per-file size limit; check that limit before uploading.
Offline with desktop software
For a local conversion, use FileMaker Pro 6 to open the FP3 database and export its records, then use the free, open-source LibreOffice Writer to create the DOC document.
- In FileMaker Pro 6, open the database and choose File → Export Records. Select a tab-separated text format and export the records. FileMaker Pro 6 is discontinued legacy software; running it on a modern computer may require an older compatible system.
- Open the exported text file in LibreOffice Writer. In the import dialog, use tab as the separator so fields appear in separate columns. Adjust the table or report formatting, then choose File → Save As and select Word 97–2003 (.doc) as the file type. LibreOffice Writer runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Quality and limitations
Exporting records preserves their values, but a DOC file cannot retain FileMaker relationships, layouts, scripts, calculations, or other interactive database behavior. Check field order, character encoding, and table width in the saved document; long records or many fields may need page-layout adjustments.
