5.00 5.50 6.00

OS/2

= SUMMARY =

Rapid video mode changes while running Word in a protected mode session of OS/2 will cause Word to generate a protection violation error message and return to the command prompt or to the Program Manager.

To reproduce the problem, choose text display mode, switch to graphics display mode, then press and hold ALT+F9 (ALT+F9 is the key combination for toggling between text and graphics display modes).

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Word versions 5.00 and 5.50. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
