There are two known problems with Microsoft Word for Windows 2.0. Both problems occur with linked OLE attachments. If you use Microsoft Word 2.0, please review the following material and use the OLE features with caution.
1.) Microsoft Word 2.0 may not exit correctly after an OLE link is created. This problem occurs when linked attachments are created using the Windows Clipboard and the Paste Attachment command. This problem does not occur if you create the attachment using the Insert Attachment command, nor does it occur with embedded attachments.
When exiting Microsoft Word 2.0 (after creating the attachment), you must answer Yes to the Save Changes prompt. Otherwise, Microsoft Word 2,0 remains in memory, although you cannot see or access it.
2.) It is possible to accidentally delete an attached Microsoft Word 2.0 document. This problem only occurs if the attachment was created using the Insert Attachment command. This problem does not occur if the attachment is created using the Windows Clipboard and the Paste Attachment command.
When you edit a Microsoft Word 2.0 attachment, Time Line launches the server application, and Microsoft Word 2.0 erroneously places an Update command on the File Menu. DO NOT use the Update command -- Microsoft Word 2.0 deletes the file from disk and you may not be able to recover it.
