SUMMARY
Included below is a summary of corrections made to the WORDWIN2.CNV converter that is used by Word 6.0a to save Word documents in Word 2.0 for Windows format. All corrections listed here have been made since the immediately previous Word 6.0 product release. Corrected problems include:

Default Normal Indent Style Duplicated as User-Defined Style
When you apply the default Normal Indent style within a Word 6.0 document and save that document as Word 2.0 for Windows format, the style is duplicated in Word 2.0 as a user-defined style (two instances of the Normal Indent style appear if you press CTRL+Y to view all styles in the Style dialog box).

This problem was corrected in Word 6.0a.

Default Style with Added Shortcut Key Generated GP Fault in Works for Windows and Publisher for Windows
The Word 2.0 for Windows converter installed by Word 6.0 for Windows is shared with other Microsoft applications such as Works for Windows and Publisher for Windows.

When you open a Word 2.0 document containing a default style with an added shortcut key into either Works or Publisher for Windows using the version of the Word 2.0 for Windows converter installed by Word 6.0, you may receive a general protection (GP) fault.

This problem was corrected in Word 6.0a.

When a Word 2.0 document containing embedded (OLE) objects is opened in Works 3.0 for Windows using the Word 2.0 for Windows converter installed by Word 6.0, the following string appears at the beginning of all objects:
