Sorry Curtis, I made one mistake in my message, you cannot use FormatName - "WordStar 3.3 - 7.0" to get reference to FileConverter object, you have to use the ClassName or its Index in collection. The correct code should be as follows:

lcCassName = ""
For Idx = 1 To oWordApp.FileConverters.Count
    If oWordApp.FileConverters( idx).FormatName = "WordStar 3.3 - 7.0"
        lcClassName = oWordApp.FileConverters( idx).ClassName
        Exit
    EndIf
Next
If Empty( m.lcClassName)
    && you do not have "WordStar 3.3 - 7.0" converter installed
EndIf
...
myformat = oWordApp.FileConverters( m.lcClassName).OpenFormat
...

With best regards,
Alex
