It definitely does NOT work correctly (at least on a IIci). [patch details deleted] While it DOES turn off ZoomRects, it also bypasses the code that brings an application to the foreground when it is opened by clicking on one of its documents. Who knows what other code is "skipped" as well!? In short, my experience shows this patch is a BAD idea. I have no problem using this patch on my SE/30 5/80, Sys 7, VM off. I tried replicating your problems as follows: 1) Double-click on a Word 4 document. 2) Switch back to finder, hiding Word. 3) Double-click on a different Word 4 document. Word came back to the foreground and loaded the file without a hitch. Maybe it's the particular software you're using, or yet another weird IIci thing...
