= MORE INFORMATION =

All the networks tested have the ability to send messages to other work stations while Word is running. However, the messages are displayed only if Word is in text mode. Messages do not appear while Word is in graphics mode (this includes Print Preview). If you switch modes from graphics to text, then the message is displayed. If you stay in graphics mode throughout the entire session, the message is not displayed until you exit Word.
