SUMMARY
=======
 
Included below is a summary of corrections made to the WORDWIN1.CNV
converter that is used by Word 6.0a to save Word documents in Word 1.0 for
Windows format. All corrections listed here have been made since the
immediately previous Word 6.0 product release. Corrected problems include:
 
GP Fault Saving Document Containing Large Number of Styles
----------------------------------------------------------
 
When you save a Word 6.0 document containing an extremely large number of
applied style definitions (for example, 1000 or more) in Word 1.x for
Windows format, you may receive a general protection (GP) fault.
 
This problem was corrected in Word 6.0a.
 
GP Fault Saving Document Containing Subdocument Link in Header or Footer
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
When you save a Word 6.0 document containing a subdocument link in a header
or footer in Word 1.x for Windows format, you may receive a GP fault. This
will not necessarily occur with all such documents.
 
This problem was corrected in Word 6.0a.
 
GP Fault Saving Document Containing Extended Characters in Annotation Marks
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
When you save a Word 6.0 document containing extended characters (for
example, uppercase U umlaut) within annotation marks in Word 1.x for
Windows format, you may receive a GP fault. Annotation marks are composed
of user initials appearing in the Initials field of the Tools Options User
Info tab.
 
This problem was corrected in Word 6.0a.
