SYMPTOMS
========
 
If you click Format on the Style menu after opening a WordPerfect document 
that was saved in WordPerfect 5.0/5.1 format from WordPerfect 2.0 for the
Macintosh, Microsoft Word may stop responding.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
A WordPerfect 2.0 for the Macintosh file converter is now available for use
with Word. Therefore, there is no longer a need to save WordPerfect 2.0 for
the Macintosh documents into WordPerfect for MS-DOS format to make these
documents readable. For more information on how to obtain this converter,
