SUMMARY

Proofreader works with Lotus 1-2-3 version 1.10.01.

After you install Windows Sound System, the following message may appear when you
load Lotus 1-2-3 version 1.1, stating you should upgrade to a later version of
Lotus 1-2-3:

  123 for Windows Proofreader does not work with this version (1.10.00) of
  Lotus 123 for Windows. An update is available from Lotus.

================

Lotus Corp. is aware of this problem and will upgrade its users to Lotus 1-2-3,
version 1.10.01, which works correctly with the Proofreader.
