For Word 97 users, open hebwrd97.doc and follow directions.  For earlier versions of Word, open hebword.doc. If installing over an old version of the Add-in, you must first uninstall the old version by opening the old document and following the instructions for uninstalling.

This patch is only needed if your CD is ver 3.5.050 or lower.

This macro will unscramble the text in these old documents. You must install the new BibleWorks fonts first (see above). Download to your BibleWorks folder and open in Word 97. The file is named "Fix97bug.doc". (20K)
