JSI Tip 1451. Third-party programs that read Word 97 documents don't work properly?

If you have Allow fast saves enabled, changes are appended to the end of the document, instead of rearringing the entire file. This may cause third-party programs to malfunction.

Starting with SR-1, Allow fast saves is off by default, as it is no longer needed when Allow background saves is checked.

Use the Tools / Options / Save tab to clear the Allow fast saves check box and to select Allow background saves.
