This has been taken from the "Read Me" document that has been delivered
with the MS Word 3.01 disks:

--------------------------------------------------

NOTE TO WORD 3.0 USERS:  YOU'LL NOTICE THESE IMPORTANT CHANGES IN 
WORD 3.01

*	You should now personalize your master disk; for details, 
see "Getting Started" in the Learning Microsoft Word manual. If 
you will be installing Word on a file server, be sure to 
personalize Word before you copy it to the server.  [Jeff's Note: 
Your name and company pop up every time the program starts up].

*	The first time you use Word 3.01, the menus will revert to 
their original state.  You will need to add or delete fonts, 
sizes, formats, or Work menu items again.  However, Word does 
retain the changes you made by clicking any "Set Default" button.

*	To ensure that all your Word 3.0 documents print correctly, 
you should perform the following procedure for each document: open 
the document in Word 3.01, hold down the Shift key while selecting 
Repaginate from the Document menu, and immediately save the 
document.  [Jeff's Note:  Swell.]

*	When you are printing multiple copies on the LaserWriter, 
Word now prints faster by creating only one print job.

*	When you print using Page Setup's "Next File" option, the 
documents are opened and closed as needed instead of all being 
opened at the beginning.

*	In the Print command (for LaserWriter), Reduce/Enlarge 
scales only the text and not the margins.  To fit more text on the 
page, you must increase the paper size in Page Setup and set the 
reduction percentage in Print.

*	When you choose Page Preview, you cannot change page breaks 
or margins unless Reduce/Enlarge is set to 100%.  However, Page 
Preview does show the effects of the reduction or enlargement.

*	In the Print dialog box for LaserWriter, the "Fractional 
Widths" checkbox replaces the Quality options.  This checkbox lets 
you use the LaserWriter's fractional character widths feature, 
which produces better output for some documents.  Specifically, 
spacing between characters and words may look better when printed 
with "Fractional Widths" checked.

*	When you print a document using the "Fractional Widths" 
option, you will notice that for small fonts, text displayed on 
the screen overflows the right margin.  This is normal and does 
not affect printing.

*	When you choose Quit, Word will prompt you to save changes 
for each document.

*	Word lets you use all fonts in the System, except those with 
names starting with a period (.) or percent sign (%).  Fonts are 
arranged alphabetically on the Font menu and in the Character 
dialog box.  There is no limit to the number of fonts you can use.  
However, the Font menu has room for only 31 fonts and sizes.

*	The "Word Underline" character format will not underline 
tabs or nonbreaking spaces.

*	Press -Shift-Z to remove character formats from text; the 
font and size, position, and spacing are not affected.  (This was 
the function of the Plain Text command in Word 1.0.)  You use the 
Plain Text command to restore selected characters to the character 
format defined for the style of that paragraph.

*	In Spelling, if you click "No Change" when Word presents a 
word, Word will ignore that word for the rest of the session.  
However, Word will continue to display these words as it scans the 
document.

*	When you choose Find, Spelling, or Hyphenate, Word scans the 
entire document only once. 

*	When typing measurements in text boxes, you can now type a 
quote mark (") to indicate inches.

*	When you format text in multiple columns (using the Section 
command), you can force a column break by inserting a page break 
character with Shift-Enter.  The "Page Break Before" paragraph 
option will always insert a page break before the selected 
paragraph.

*	NumLock now appears in the lower left corner instead of 
showing as "N" in the upper right corner of the menu bar.

                        "Nice shooting, son.  What's
                         your name?"
                                                "MURPHY."
