        Microsoft Word Viewer version 6.0 for Windows
        ---------------------------------------------
        
        Microsoft® proudly announces the release of Microsoft
        Word Viewer, a small application that enables users who
        do not own Microsoft Word for Windows® to view and print
        Word documents exactly as they appear in Word. Word
        Viewer gives users the flexibility to view page layout,
        zoom, outline, headers/footers, footnotes, and
        annotations. Word Viewer allows you to read and print
        Word documents, but it does not allow you to edit them,
        although you can copy information from the document and
        activate OLE objects.
        
        Thanks to Word Viewer, people who own any version of
        Microsoft Word for Windows, or Word for the Macintosh®
        versions 4.0 and later, can now share their documents
        with users who do not own Microsoft Word. Compressed,
        Word Viewer fits onto one 3.5" 1.44 MB floppy disk. We
        encourage users to copy Word Viewer freely and distribute
        it to friends and co-workers along with documents they
        have created in Word format.
        
        
        Use Word Viewer to view Word documents posted on the
        Internet
        ----------------------------------------------------
        
        This product also allows users who wish to post richly
        formatted Word documents on the Internet to share such
        documents with people who might not own Microsoft Word.
        In order to use this product for viewing Word documents
        on the Internet, you must configure your Internet
        browsing tool to recognize Word Viewer as a helper
        application. Please consult the owner's manual of your
        browsing software in order to learn how to achieve this.
        Documents with the suffix ".doc" will be recognized by
        Word Viewer as Word files.
        
        
        Microsoft Word Viewer is Freeware!
        ----------------------------------
        
        This product is "freeware". Users are encouraged to copy
        and distribute Word Viewer to friends and co-workers, or
        post it onto public electronic bulletin boards.
        
        While Word Viewer allows you to view and print Word
        documents using the look and feel of Microsoft Word, the
        retail version of Microsoft Word contains all the award
        winning document creation and editing features that make
        everyday word processing tasks easier. If you do not own
        Microsoft Word and would like to join the 21 million
        users who have made it the world's best selling word
        processor, please contact Microsoft Sales Information
        Center at 1-800-426-9400 for pre-sales information in the
        US, or contact your local Microsoft subsidiary.
        
        
        Obtaining and Installing Microsoft Word Viewer
        ----------------------------------------------
        
        Word Viewer is available from any of the sources listed
        below in the "Sources for Word Viewer" section. To obtain
        Word Viewer, download WORDVU.EXE into an empty directory.
        WORDVU.EXE is a compressed, self-extracting file. After
        you download WORDVU.EXE, run it to extract the files it
        contains. Read the INSTALL.TXT, then run WV.EXE to
        decompress and setup Word Viewer files.
        
        To download Word Viewer now, go to the top of this
        document and click the designated text.
        
        For additional help on using Word Viewer, read the
        accompanying file README.DOC, located in the same
        directory as Word Viewer. To view this file after
        installation, run Word Viewer, click on the file
        README.DOC in the File Open dialog, and then click on the
        OK button.
        
        
        Distributing Word Viewer
        ------------------------
        
        If you are posting Word Viewer to a WWW home page please
        post both the WORDVU.EXE and this file, WORDVU.HTM. (If
        you are posting to a non-Web electronic service, please
        use the equivalent WORDVU.TXT file available from any of
        the non-Web sites referenced below.)
        
        If you choose to give Word Viewer to anyone on a floppy
        disk, copy WV.EXE and INSTALL.TXT, rather than copying
        each of the individual files that appear after Word
        Viewer decompresses. Word Viewer's self-extracting
        archive achieves both decompression and installation.
        Simply copying the product files to another computer may
        not install Word Viewer properly. Also, you will find
        that WV.EXE and INSTALL.TXT will fit onto an empty
        formatted 3.5" HD Disk, while all the decompressed
        product files will not.
