***************************************************************************** MICROSOFT WORD FOR WINDOWS SPECIAL INFORMATION ***************************************************************************** IMPORTANT NOTE -------------- Microsoft Windows version 2.11 or later is required for Word to run properly. If you have not yet installed Windows 2.11 or later, it is recommended that you do this before installing Word for Windows. This document is not properly formatted for use with Microsoft Word for Windows. It is intended for the user who has not yet installed Microsoft Word for Windows and would like more information. It can be opened in Microsoft Word for Windows and reformatted if desired. ***************************************************************************** TO PRINT THIS FILE ------------------ Determine which port you have a printer connected to (LPT1: will be used for this example). Then type: COPY README.TXT LPT1: and then press ENTER. This file will be printed on your printer. Note: This procedure will not work with a PostScript printer. If you have the full Windows package (not a runtime version of Windows) and it is set up to print on a PostScript printer, you can open this document in Microsoft Windows Write to print it on your PostScript printer. ***************************************************************************** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FILES The following Word for Windows documents contain additional information. These documents are copied to your WINWORD directory during setup. File Name Contents ---------- ---------------------------------------------- README.DOC Additional information about Word for Windows, including corrections to descriptions in the User's Reference. CONVINFO.DOC Information about the conversion programs used to convert files stored in other file formats to Word for Windows file format. TECHREF.DOC Summary of the WordBASIC macro language. EXAMPLES.DOC Useful example macros. KEYCAPS.DOC Table resembling a keyboard that shows Symbol font characters. You can copy and paste the characters from KEYCAPS.DOC into your documents. ISV.DOC Information for independent software vendors on distributing Word for Windows macros. ***************************************************************************** SETTING UP FOR THE 8514 DISPLAY If you have the full version of Microsoft Windows 2.11 installed on your computer and an 8514/A display, you need to update your display driver. To do this, copy the file 8514.DRV from the Word for Windows disk to replace the file with the same name on your Windows 2.11 installation disk. Use the decompression procedure described below when copying the file. Now run the Windows Setup program to reinstall Windows 2.11. When prompted for a display device, choose 8514/A. If you have Microsoft Windows 3.0 installed on your computer and an 8514 display, you may need to update the Courier screen font. To do this, insert the disk appropriate to your system into your floppy drive: 1.2 MB: Utilities 1.44 MB: Utilities 720K: Utilities 360K: Disk 1 (Setup) At the command prompt, type the appropriate drive letter followed by a colon, and then press ENTER. Then type in either uppercase or lowercase: COPY COURF.FO$ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM (or substitute the name of the directory in which you installed Windows 3.0) If you do not have 360K disks, remove the disk from your disk drive and insert the disk appropriate to your system into your floppy drive: 1.2 MB: Conversions 1.44 MB: Conversions 720K: Setup (If you have 360K disks, leave the disk in the floppy drive.) At the command prompt, type in either uppercase or lowercase: COPY DECOMP.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM (or substitute the name of the directory in which you installed Windows 3.0) Remove the diskette from the floppy drive. Type C: (or the drive on which you installed Windows 3.0), and then press ENTER. Type: CD\WINDOWS\SYSTEM and then press ENTER. Then type: DECOMP COURF.FO$ and then press ENTER. You will have successfully decompressed the COURF.FON file. Use the DIR command to ensure that COURF.FON exists. If it does, you may delete COURF.FO$ and DECOMP.EXE, which are no longer needed. ***************************************************************************** DISKS IN THE MICROSOFT WORD FOR WINDOWS PACKAGE Microsoft Word for Windows is available in three disk configurations: Configuration Type of disks ------------- -------------------------------------- 1.2 MB 5.25-inch high-density (1.2 MB) disks 1.44 MB 3.5-inch high-density (1.44 MB) disks 720K 3.5-inch double-sided (720K) disks 360K 5.25-inch low-density (360K) disks Your Microsoft Word for Windows package includes both the 1.2 MB and the 1.44 MB configurations.

The Setup program automatically decompresses files for you. However, if for some reason you need to decompress a file manually, we've provided a program on the Setup disk, called DECOMP.EXE, which you can use to decompress files. Compressed files are identified with a special file name extension in the form *.??$ where "*" is the file name and "??" are letters used to indicate the file name extension for the decompressed version of the file. The table below shows the encoded file name extensions for compressed files and what the corresponding decompressed file name extension should be. Extension Corresponding for a Extension for a Compressed Decompressed file file ---------- ----------- .EX$ .EXE .DL$ .DLL .FL$ .FLT .HL$ .HLP .DC$ .DOC .DT$ .DOT .DR$ .DRV .FO$ .FON .CB$ .CBT .LI$ .LIB .PR$ .PRD .TI$ .TIF .PF$ .PFM .SF$ .SFP To copy and decompress a file manually: 1. Copy the program DECOMP.EXE from the appropriate disk to the Word for Windows directory on your hard disk. 1.2 MB: Conversions 1.44 MB: Conversions 720K: Setup 360K: Disk 1 (Setup) 2. Copy the file(s) you wish to decompress from the appropriate disk to the Word for Windows directory on your hard disk. 3. Use DECOMP.EXE to create the decompressed version of the file(s). DECOMP.EXE decompresses the file and gives it the correct file name extension. DECOMP file_name Where "file_name" is the name of the compressed file. ============================================================================= If you want to decompress the correct files to generate a WINWORD.EXE, and you have a floppy drive called A, perform the following steps: 1.2 MB and 1.44 MB version: Insert the Setup disk into drive A. Change to the directory in which you installed Word for Windows. For example, type: CD\WINWORD and then press ENTER. Copy the compressed file WINWORD.EX$ from the floppy disk to the Word for Windows directory on your hard disk. For example: COPY A:WINWORD.EX$ C:\WINWORD and then press ENTER. Now type in either uppercase or lowercase: DECOMP WINWORD.EX$ If all has gone well, you now have a functional WINWORD.EXE. After you have confirmed that the WINWORD.EXE functions correctly, you should type, very carefully: DEL WINWORD.EX$ and then press ENTER. Then type: DEL DECOMP.EXE and then press ENTER. This reclaims a considerable amount of disk space. 720K version: On the 720K disks, it was necessary for Microsoft to split the file into two pieces so that WINWORD.EXE could fit. These instructions will lead you through reassembling the WINWORD.EXE file. Insert the Program disk into the floppy drive. Change to the directory in which you installed Word for Windows. For example, type: CD\WINWORD and then press ENTER. Copy the compressed file WINWORDA.BI$ from the Program disk to the Word for Windows directory on your hard disk. For example, type: COPY A:WINWORDA.BI$ C:\WINWORD and then press ENTER. Remove the Program disk and insert the Help disk. Type: COPY A:WINWORDB.BI$ C:\WINWORD and then press ENTER. Now type in either uppercase or lowercase: DECOMP WINWORDA.BI$ and press ENTER, followed by DECOMP WINWORDB.BI$ and press ENTER. After the decompression is completed, type: COPY /b WINWORDA.BIN+WINWORDB.BIN WINWORD.EXE If all has gone well, you now have a functional WINWORD.EXE. After you have confirmed that the WINWORD.EXE functions correctly, you should type, very carefully: DEL WINWORD?.BI$ and then press ENTER. Then type: DEL DECOMP.EXE and then press ENTER. This reclaims a considerable amount of disk space. 360K version: On the 360K disks, it was necessary for Microsoft to split the file into three pieces so that WINWORD.EXE could fit. These instructions will lead you through reassembling the WINWORD.EXE file. Insert Disk 11 into the floppy drive. Change to the directory in which you installed Word for Windows. For example, type: CD\WINWORD and then press ENTER. Copy the compressed file WINWORDA.BI$ from the Program disk to the Word for Windows directory on your hard disk. For example, type: COPY A:WINWORDA.BI$ C:\WINWORD and then press ENTER. Remove Disk 11, and then insert Disk 12. Type: COPY A:WINWORDB.BI$ C:\WINWORD and then press ENTER. Remove Disk 12, and then insert Disk 13. Type: COPY A: WINWORDC.BI$ C:\WINWORD and then press ENTER. Now type in either uppercase or lowercase: DECOMP WINWORDA.BI$ and press ENTER, followed by DECOMP WINWORDB.BI$ and press ENTER, followed by DECOMP WINWORDC.BI$ and press ENTER. After the decompression is completed, type: COPY /b WINWORDA.BIN+WINWORDB.BIN+WINWORDC.BIN WINWORD.EXE and then press ENTER. If all has gone well, you now have a functional WINWORD.EXE. After you have confirmed that the WINWORD.EXE functions correctly, you should type, very carefully: DEL WINWORD?.BI$ and then press ENTER. Then type: DEL DECOMP.EXE and then press ENTER. This reclaims a considerable amount of disk space. If you experience trouble manually decompressing files, we strongly recommend that you run the Setup program on the Setup disk to have the files decompressed for you automatically. ***************************************************************************** LIST OF MICROSOFT WORD FOR WINDOWS FILES The following table lists all files on the disks in the Microsoft Word for Windows package. Files are grouped by function. File distribution is different for each of the three disk configurations (1.2 MB, 1.44 MB, 720K, 360K). Note that the compressed file name extensions are shown below.
