WINDOWS

Summary:

When converting a file from Word for DOS to Word to Word for Windows, bookmark names that are originally longer than 20 characters in Word for DOS are not converted. Word for DOS versions 5.0 and 5.5 allow bookmark names of up to 31 characters in length, whereas Word for Windows has a limit of 20 characters.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
