object, Word may hang (stop responding).
Incorrect Mapping of Some Characters When File Saved in Text-Only Format

Word .doc Files Are Registered as Safe File Types for Internet Explorer
Before this release, you received the following warning from Internet
Explorer:
the document may contain a virus...do you want to continue?
Now, Word .doc files are registered as "safe" for Internet Explorer, and
Internet Explorer does not flash the warning message.
Updated Pict Filter
In Word for Windows 95, version 7.0, a supporting file called Msvcr20.dll
was not installed properly. In version 7.0a, the dependency on this file is
removed.
Word Now Integrates with Netscape
If you have Netscape installed, Word updates the registry entries so that
Word is the program that is used with .doc, .dot, and .rtf files from
Netscape. Before the release of 7.0a, Word was not used.
Pasting Information from a Closed WordMail Note May Cause a GP Fault
When you open a WordMail note, copy the note, close the note, compose a new
note, paste the information, and then start typing, these actions may
result in a general protection (GP) fault.
Word Doesn't Create "My Documents" Folder When Installed on Windows NT
After you install Office 95 on a computer running Windows NT 3.51, the "My
Documents" folder is not created, and the Open dialog box (on the File
menu, click Open) defaults to the Winword folder.
Pressing ESC to Exit In-place Editing Causes GP Fault
If you click Object on the Insert menu in a Word document in some container
programs, you may receive a GP fault.

In Word 7.0, if you save a file as Text and then close it, you receive
another message asking you if you want to save formatting. In Word 7.0a,
you do not get the second message prompting you to save formatting.
Character Style with Hidden Text in Template Loses Hidden Attribute When Saved with Rich Text Formatting (RTF)
If you have one character style based on another character style that is
formatted as hidden, the "hidden" formatting attributes are lost when you
save the document as RTF and reopen it.
