Description: ClarisWorks 5.0v2 Updater will upgrade U.S. versions 5.0v1 to the current U.S. release, 5.0v2. This Updater WILL NOT update any international versions of ClarisWorks.

This update includes the following: * (Mac OS) In 5.0v1, the Microsoft Word 6 translator ("MS Word 6 Mac [MacLink]") would not appear in the list of available translators in the Open or Save As dialog boxes if Microsoft Word 6 was installed. It will now appear correctly. * (Mac OS & Windows) Spaces that have been formatted with the underline style will now print correctly.
Mac OS Instructions: Launch the Installer, which will install and automatically launch the updater application.

Additionally, the installer will update the HTML translator (System : Claris : Claris Translators) and the HTML config assistant (ClarisWorks 5.0 Folder : ClarisWorks Assistants).
Windows Instructions: Launch the updater, which will present a standard dialog in which to locate ClarisWorks 5.0v1. The updater will then update the app and the HTML translator.
