Office Compatible 97 Testing
Waivers Address Special Circumstances
Although the Office Compatible
97 testing requirements are adapted to the broad product
categories we have discussed, further adjustments are sometimes
necessary due to the special characteristics of a particular
class of products. For example, it is traditional for mainframe
connectivity products to support some accelerator key assignments
that differ from the Office standard, and so such products are
allowed to let the customer decide whether to use the Office
standard accelerators or the traditional ones. Other allowances
apply to some common product sub-categories, so read Additional
Testing Provisions For Some Products after you have read the
general Office Compatible 97 testing requirements that apply to
your product.
In addition, some products are
so specialized that the standard Office features cannot be
applied to them without special changes. And in some cases, a
particular Office feature may not apply at all. In such cases,
please contact the Office Compatible program to discuss the
special circumstances that affect your product plans. We will
grant special waivers from the standard testing requirements if
we believe they are justified by the Office user's welfare. Send
