= SUMMARY =

If there are multiple columns in a section with the default 0.5-inch Columns Spacing (in the Format Section dialog box) in Microsoft Word version 4.00, the Columns Spacing will change to zero (0) inches when saving the file in Microsoft Word versions 3.0x/Microsoft Write format.

Note that zero (0) inches is the default Columns Spacing in Word 3.0x. When importing Word 3.0x files with 0-inch Columns Spacing into Word 4.00, the 0-inch setting from version 3.0x will be retained.

To correct this problem, manually reset the Columns Spacing in the imported file.
