        Microsoft Word Viewer for Windows95, Version 7.1
        --------------------------------------------------
        
        Microsoft is proud to announce Microsoft Word Viewer for
        Windows 95 Version 7.1, a tool that enables Microsoft
        Word users to share their documents with more people than
        ever before! Microsoft Word Viewer is a small no-charge,
        freely distributable program that lets people view and
        print Word for Windows (version 1.0 and greater) and Word
        for the Macintosh® (versions 4.0 and greater) documents.
        Microsoft Word Viewer gives users the flexibility to view
        page layout, zoom, outline, headers/footers, footnotes,
        and annotations. Word Viewer does not allow users to edit
        files, however, it does allow them to copy information
        from a document and activate OLE objects from within
        Microsoft Word Viewer.
        
        ---------------------------------------------------------
        
        
                Use Word Viewer 7.1 to follow Hyperlinks!
        
        The new Word Viewer will follow Hyperlinks in Word
        documents and adds interoperability with popular Web
        browsers to reach World Wide Web (WWW) destinations.
        
        
        Creating Word documents for the
        Internet and Internal Webs
        
        As more and more people begin creating and distributing
        documents over the Internet and internal corporate Webs,
        Microsoft has created tools that are designed to make
        this easier. Internet Assistant for Microsoft Word is the
        easiest way for individuals to create and edit great-
        looking documents for the Internet and internal corporate
        Webs. One important benefit of Internet Assistant is that
        it allow users to insert Hyperlinks into regular Word
        documents. This makes it simple for Word users to create
        Webs of pre-existing Word documents without having to
        convert them to another format. It also allows Word users
        to create hyperlinked richly formatted Word documents
        with OLE objects.
        
        See the Internet Assistant for Microsoft Word Home Page
        for more information on Web authoring with Microsoft
        Word.
        
        
        Use Word Viewer for Word documents posted on an
        Internal Corporate Web or the Internet
        
        Word Viewer 7.1 is built to automatically configure
        itself as a Helper Application for Netscape and Microsoft
        Internet Explorer (it can also be manually configured as
        Helper Application for other browsing tools). This allows
        users to automatically view Word documents (.doc) that
        are linked to HTML pages on a LAN or the World Wide Web.
        
        Word Viewer by itself can follow document Hyperlinks on a
        LAN. This new capability allows users to browse rich
        document systems on a LAN in much the same way a Web
        browser allows you to navigate the Internet. If you
        activate a document Hyperlink to a World Wide Web site,
        or service, Viewer will launch any major Web browsing
        tool that you have installed. The browser will then
        follow the Hyperlink onto the Web.
        
        -----------------------------------------------------
        
        
                    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, LANs, and
        Internet sites.
        
        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
