Version 1.3
Command and Feature Updates
- Added pop-up Status Bar to show all active markers in document. Status Bar pops-up whenever a change is made to any of ^KB, ^KK, or ^K1 ~ ^K0, or when ^KH is used to 'show' markers.
- ^P0 now set to display Windows Character Map with currently active font showing as the default and character table selected.

Bug Fixes v1.3
Corrected Availible/Unavailable items in help dialogs.
Bug fixes V1.3a
Fixed problem inherent in Word 97/2000 where Word cannot find document to open if an Add-In uses an AutoExec macro and Word is started by double- clicking a document in Explorer. This workaround constituted version 1.3a.
Bug fixes v1.3b
Broken ALT+Key access to some menu items fixed. These became broken in attempts to keep useful Word/Windows CTRL+Key commands by reassigning CTRL to ALT. This has also meant that one menu item''s shortcut letter key has had to change as well. Changes are as follows:
- ALT+V was assigned to EditPaste in place of Windows CTRL+V - now put back to open View menu.
- ALT+S was assigned to FileSaveAs - now reassigned to open Style menu. WordStar's CTRL+K,T was already assigned.
- Table menu accelerator key changed from ALT+B to ALT+T. ALT+B is considered more useful as a replacement for Word's CTRL+B, Bold on/off.
Version 1.2
Command updates
Added ^OD to toggle print commands (tab leaders, spaces, Paragraph symbols ON/OFF. Continue to use ^KH to show/hide the Block Marker 'bookmarks'.
