Title: Word 5.0 with Hercules Emulation
date: 8/15/89

Copyright 3Com Corporation, 1991.  All rights reserved.

Microsoft Word version 5.0 presently does not include screen
drivers for all implementations of Hercules emulation.  The
problem is seen particularly with the use of Hercules emulation
on the Paradise chip set used in the 3Com 3Station and
3Station/2E.

Microsoft Word version 5.0 operates in two modes, text and
graphics.  A 3Com 3Station or 3Station/2E with a monochrome
monitor will operate properly in text mode, which is used for
most word processing tasks.  However, graphics mode, which
provides a few specialized features such as page preview, will
not be recognized.  The problem is not seen when using a true
Hercules video adapter, but the screen driver for true Hercules
will not work with the Paradise implementation.  Microsoft is
researching the issue, but does not currently provide a fix.
