SUMMARY
The following are known documentation errors in the Word for Windows 2.0 online Help, CONVINFO.DOC, GRAPHICS.DOC, advertising slicks, and elsewhere. These errors were either identified too late to be corrected before release, or result from a last-minute change in product functionality and/or contents.

If you identify additional documentation errors related to file or graphic conversions, please report them to WOBU Conversions Specialist, Jeff Brown (jeffb).

Cover Letter/Supplemental File Conversions Disk

 * The cover sheet that is included with the Supplemental File Conversions Disk for Word for Windows 2.0 indicates that the enclosed MultiMate converter supports conversion to/from MultiMate 4.0. The enclosed converter actually supports MultiMate 3.3, Advantage (3.6), and Advantage II (3.7). As of February 21, 1992, support for MultiMate 4.0 has been added to this disk, and the appropriate corrections/additions were made to the Cover Sheet at this time.

Help

 * The Help topics &quot;Opening a file created by another application&quot; and &quot;Saving a Word document with a different file format&quot; both make reference to the availability of the Microsoft Windows Write converter through the Special Offer coupon included with the Microsoft Word package. It was decided at the last moment before the release of Word for Windows 2.0a to include this converter with the product, so there is no need to order this converter. In addition, with the release of Word for Windows 2.0b, changes in which converters are shipped with Word versus which are supplied on the Supplemental File Conversions Disk, as well as new versions supported for certain formats, were not changed. These incorrect references include: - Only support for Excel 2.0 and 3.0 worksheets is indicated. The Excel BIFF converter supplied with Word for Windows 2.0b actually also supports Excel 4.0 Worksheets. - The WordStar 3.3, 3.45, 4.0, 5.5, and 5.5 converter is not included in the Word for Windows 2.0b package. Rather, it is available as part of the Word for Windows 2.0b revision of the Supplemental File Conversions Disk.
 * The Help text command descriptions in WordPerfect Help are not formatted properly, and some text may run off the bottom of the dialog box. However, all descriptions are technically correct.

CONVINFO.DOC

 * In the section titled &quot;Converting Word for DOS Glossaries,&quot; reference is made to the availability of Word for MS-DOS glossary files with the names: 40CNVRT.GLY 50CNVRT.GLY 55CNVRT.GLY These files are installed in the Word for Windows 2.0 directory, and their names are actually: 40CONVRT.GLY 50CONVRT.GLY 55CONVRT.GLY Note: This documentation error was corrected in Word for Windows 2.0a.
 * In the section titled &quot;Additional Graphics Considerations,&quot; reference is made to Word for MS-DOS CAPTURE.COM graphics files having either the extension .SCR or .LST. CAPTURE.COM can generate either graphics or ASCII text files. The ASCII text files have a .LST file extension. CAPTURE.COM graphic files will have a .SCR extension by default.

GRAPHICS.DOC

 * In the section titled &quot;Windows Limitations,&quot; the discussion of text in Windows object- or vector-oriented pictures states: Limitations in graphic primitives in Windows pictures prevent display and printing of... rotated or vertical text (unless scalable or vector fonts are used). Use of scalable or vector fonts will actually only correct problems displaying and printing rotated text. Vertical text will not be affected.

Tri-Fold Promotional Advertisement Slick (pn 098-25356)

 * On the back page of this document, under the section titled &quot;Supported document file formats:&quot;, converters that offer read only support are delimited with double asterisks (**). The dBASE converter is read only, but is not delimited as such.

55CONVRT.GLY

 * When the Word for MS-DOS 5.5 Batch Glossary Conversion macro is run and a .CVT file is subsequently created, the .CVT file will contain glossary entries with a PSS technician's name and title. These were test entries that were inadvertently left in the final revision of this utility.
