pq22485 - Can't start Word 8 with LINKED doc if doc is Word6,7 format ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Affected Platforms: Affected Features: Base Smalltalk Prerequisites: Symptom: We have an application that allows the user to select a LINKED word file (currently, word version 6, 7 or 8), display it in an AbtOleClientView and then by double clicking on the control, allow editing of the Linked object by starting word. . If the file is a Word 6 or 7 format and Word 8 is installed on the machine, Word will not start for linked objects. However, if the above object was Embedded, Word will edit that fine. Solution: Open a workspace on file pq22485.st and file in the patch.
