 * Microsoft Word for OS/2, versions 1.1, 1.1a, 1.1b

SUMMARY
You will obtain different results when you send a DDEEXECUTE instruction to Word for OS/2 from another Presentation Manager application, depending upon which version of Word you are running.

Word for OS/2 Version 1.1
Word version 1.1 does not respond to any Execute instruction sent to it through a DDE channel. Word returns an error result code to the calling application.

Word for OS/2 Version 1.1a
Microsoft corrected Word version 1.1a so it responds to and executes any instructions sent to it through a DDE channel. However, whether the Execute instruction was successful or not, Word returns an error result code to the calling application.

Word for OS/2 Version 1.1b
Microsoft corrected Word version 1.1b so it not only responds correctly to Execute instructions sent to it through a DDE channel, but it also return a relevant result code depending upon whether the instruction was executed successfully or not.

To determine which version of Word for OS/2 you have, look up the date of the PMWORDU.DLL file on the following table:

PMWORDU.DLL           Word File Date             Version ---           ---

12/7/90               1.1

3/29/91 or 4/1/91     1.1a

4/1/92                1.1b To obtain new or updated Microsoft products, call Microsoft Consumer Sales at (800) 426-9400. If you are outside the United States, contact the Microsoft subsidiary for your area. To locate your subsidiary, call Microsoft International Customer Service at (425) 936-8661.
