Re: Problems with Word 2.0 ==> Word 6.0 with Doc2Help

Make sure you are not in the "draw" mode. I found that I had problems
with the text in 6.0 because I couldn't easily tell when I was in the text or
draw modes (at least from my pc at home).
This may not be the cause of the GPFs, but it could be why you can't
select text properly.
