First and foremost , version 5.0 has built in January 1989 network support, so networked groups no longer have to acquire a special version of the product. You can now browse through lists of directories on your hard disk or a floppy. And the new annotations feature not only allows reviewers to make comments on a draft electronically , it also automatically inserts the reviewer's initials, time and date of comment. Word version 5.0 also includes macros that let you merge everyone's oomments into a single "comments"document. Finally, version 5.0 supports OS/2 version 1.0, which means that if you're running Word under OS/2 you can do such things multitasking. For example, if you have a large print job, you can start it, then switch to another task, and printing will continue in the background. OS/2 support also makes it easier to handle very long documents, especially when performing memory intensive operations like indexing or sorting. And if you're not running Word under OS/2 but are working with large documents, you ' ll be pleased to know that version 5 .0 .. supports expanded memory under MS-DOS. Whether you work in a group or solitary environment, Microsoft Word version 5. 0 lets you see and produce more work with less - visualizing, less adjusting, and less aggravation. If you 're a registered user of Word, we 'll mail you all the details of how to update to the new version as soon as the product is available .
