SYMPTOMS
========

QuickShelf may not work as expected if you are running Microsoft Windows NT. For
example, if you highlight a word in Notepad and then click a button on the
QuickShelf toolbar, Bookshelf will open, but the highlighted word will not
appear in an edit field, nor will Bookshelf perform a search on the highlighted
word.

NOTE: This functionality may work correctly with some word processing
applications and not with others. For example, it has been found to work
correctly with Write but not with Notepad.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Bookshelf, editions
listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been corrected in
Microsoft Bookshelf '95 for Windows 95 and Microsoft Bookshelf 96-97 for
Windows.
