The workaround that I use is

1. Open the file in 1.3.4.
2. Save pages to a scrapbook file
3. Save the scrapbook to a temp name
4. From inside 1.3.3.9, import the scrapbook into 1.3.3.9 scrapbook.
5. Drag contents onto a new page.

Doing it this way not not preserve all the formatting - justification and
line spacing is a bit off, but it is the closest I have found to a
conversion process. Also only have tried using single pages.

Hope it helps!
