More Information

The Works Suite add-in for Word (Wkwdaddn.dll) provides integration between Word and Works. The two programs can function without the add-in because the add-in is an optional component. The add-in offers Word commands and access to Word wizards from the Works Word Processor. The add-in may be present if you had an earlier version of Microsoft Works or Microsoft Works Suite on the computer. The add-in was not designed to work with Word 2007.
