= 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.
