= SUMMARY =

The following is a list of versions of Word for the Macintosh that are network aware, multi-launch, multi-user, and network compatible:

Product Network Aware Multi-Launch Multi-User Network Compatible ——- ————- ———— ———- ——————

Word 1.0 No No No No Word 1.05 Yes No No No Word 3.0 Yes Yes Yes* Yes Word 3.01 Yes Yes Yes* Yes Word 3.02 Yes Yes Yes* Yes Word 4.0 Yes Yes Yes* Yes Word 5.0 Yes Yes Yes* Yes Word 5.1 Yes Yes Yes* Yes


 * You must explicitly tell the application to open the document as read-only by selecting the Read Only check box in the File Open dialog box each time you open the file. If you don’t select Read Only and the file that you try to open is already open, you will receive a message stating that the file could not be opened. In addition, the file must be open only as Read Only in the first instance for a second user to open it as Read Only. This can be done with the Locked option in the Get Info window of the document or controlled by the network software to disallow write privileges in that folder.

Glossary of Terms
Term Meaning ——————————————————————-

Network Aware The program can access other volumes or files on a network.

Multi-Launch One or more users can run the same copy of the application at the same time.

Multi-User A document created by the application can be opened by one or more users at the same time. The document when opened for the second time, may or may not be opened as read-only. Certain programs allow the file to be modified even though other users are currently using the document.

Network Compatible Microsoft has tested this version of a product and has determined that it is compatible with an AppleShare network. If there is a “No” in this column, Microsoft does not guarantee that the product will operate properly on a network.
