I called Microsoft about a week ago for the update.  They told me
they were out of stock and it would be 2 to 3 weeks.  Yesterday
I received the update via Federal Express. I'm impressed.

The package says 'cust serve word 4.0(f)', making me think, "hmmm,
4.0(f)".  However, a get info on the Word Application says version
4.0(c).  The accompanying "readme" also says 4.0(c).  I guess the
only difference between (b) and (c) is that (c) fixes a compatibility
problem for "windows".

Most of the improvements to (b) had to do with fractional widths for
the image writer and problems with the IIci.  Also fixes some bug for
DAs which have multiple windows.  There was also mention of a problem
with the "space before" preference that has been fixed.
