We have released build 2570 of Version 5 of Scientific WorkPlace, Scientific
Word, and Scientific Notebook.
You can download a patch update file for build 2570 if you currently have
installed either
The patch update files are different for different builds. Please be sure you
download the correct patch update file for your installation.
If you prefer, you can download the complete self-extracting installation file
for build 2570 (58 MB for SWP; 52 MB for SW; 25 MB for SNB).
If you have sufficient disk space, you may want to make a copy of your current
program directory before you apply the patch update. If the update should fail
for some reason, you may need to reinstall from the original program CD or
download the full self-extracting installation file. In most cases, the patch
update preserves user preferences, such as new automatic substitutions and
toolbar configurations.
This patch update contains the following changes, which have occurred in the
program since the release of Version 5 (build 2552). Some descriptions use
technical and internal terms and may not completely describe the change. Note
that not all changes apply to all products; for example, changes to the Style
Editor do not apply to SNB. The list is presented in no particular order.
