AutoDocumentation System for Windows Version 2.01.40

Overview:
    A Word 6.0 syntax error is encountered when attempting to format
    extraction files that contains a prefact.  This syntax error was due
    to the use of a Word 2.0 function in one of the formatting routines.
    To fix this problem, simply copy API8x11.DOT and API7x9.DOT to the
    WORD60 subdirectory of the AUTODOC runtime directory.

Details:
    Both of these DOT files have a macro named APIFormatBuffer.  This is the
    macro which actually does the work of formatting a file once it is
    loaded into a document window.

    The problem was in the ChapterPreface function of this macro.  While
    processing the preface text, the following Word 2.0 call was made.

            InsertBookmark.Name = "PrefaceStart"

    This line caused the Err=100 Syntax Error that was reported.

    To resolve the problem, this line wsa changed to the following Word 6.0
    function call.

            EditBookmark("PrefaceStart")

    After making this change, the preface text formats properly.
