WIDEOPEN v1.2
==============

WideOpen is a shareware program that replaces the Word 6 Open and
Save dialogs with the new Windows 95 dialogs, which support
long filenames, shortcuts, document icons, and much more.

To automatically install WideOpen, just open WIDEOPEN.DOC and follow 
the instructions there-- WideOpen features one click installation and 
deinstallation, as well as a reasonable cost. 

If you use WideOpen, please register your copy by sending $10 to:

1.2	Increased performance on "underpowered" machines by making 
WideOpen a DDE server.  Modified the install program to work with 
international versions of Word.   Fixed a bug that prevented saving 
a file under a different format than the one it was opened in.  
Added additional save and open formats.  Fixed a bug which made 
the Open and Save dialogs always on top of other windows.

1.1:	Added informative dialog boxes if WIDEN.EXE is not found 
where it should have been installed.  Fixed a synchronization bug
 that occasionally caused FileOpen to do nothing. Made the 
installation and deinstallation macros more robust. Renamed to 
WideOpen from Widen. Fixed a few typos.

1.0:	Initial version of WideOpen
