MORE INFORMATION

================

Future querying tools may allow for use of friendly names for information

categories. With current searching tools, "printing" cannot be used as a

keyword because that word is also used in many articles whose main subject

is not printing. Until our tools allow searching on keywords separately

from article text, we need to create unique spellings for Knowledge Base

keywords. Therefore, all standard Knowledge Base keywords will begin with

the letters "kb."

Additional reference words: kbkeyword key word kbcdg dskbguide

Windows NT Err Msg: Not Enough Memory to Run Word

Article ID: Q12075

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b,

   2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you start 16-bit Word for Windows (version 2.0c or version 6.0) from

Windows NT, you may receive the following error message even though there

is plenty of available memory:

   There is not enough memory to run Word.

CAUSE

=====

There are three known situations that can cause this error:

Default Printer Unavailable

---------------------------

The printer pointed to by the default printer driver may be unavailable.

Open Print Manager and delete all printers and printer connections. Restart

Word. Alternatively, test the printer connections by printing to each

installed printer from Notepad.

Insufficient Disk Space in Word Directory

-----------------------------------------

Word uses the default program directory for some of its internal temporary

files. There should be at least 4 MB of free disk space in this directory.

Insufficient Disk Space in TEMP or Startup Directory

-----------------------------------------------------

The TEMP environment variable set in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file may be missing

or pointing to a location where there is insufficient disk space to create

Word's temporary files. From the System portion of Control Panel, check

that the User Environment includes a valid TEMP variable. If the Word

startup directory is different from the default, especially if it is in the

same logical drive as the Windows NT paging file, there may be insufficient

disk space to open Word.

Word: Underlining Different Font Sizes Doesn't Line Up

Article ID: Q51557

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 4.0, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Word for the Macintosh, if a line of text or a word that contains two or

more different font sizes is underlined, the underline characters will not

line up uniformly underneath the word or line of text. The text will look

fine on the screen, but the increased font size causes a thicker underline

when printed.

WORKAROUND

==========

One workaround is to place the text in a table and underline the cells as

follows:

Word 6.0

--------

1. Select the word or line of text.

2. From the Table menu, choose Insert Table.

3. From Format menu, choose Borders and Shading.

4. Choose the Borders tab.

5. In the Border dialog box, select the bottom border of the page icon.

6. Choose the desired line width and choose OK.

Word 4.0, 5.0, 5.1

------------------

1. Select the word or line of text.

2. From the Document menu, choose Insert Table. Specify the correct

   paragraph width. Choose OK.

3. From the Format menu, choose Cells.

4. Select Borders and apply a bottom border to the selected cell. Choose OK

   twice.

 2. Connect the Generic/Text Only driver to the File port.

 3. Open Cardfile, then load the appropriate cardfile.

 4. In Cardfile, choose Printer Setup from the File menu, and select

    the Generic/Text Only printer on File.

 5. In Cardfile, choose Print All from the File menu.

 6. A dialog box will pop up, requesting a filename to print to.

    Provide a suitable name and a path, if desired.

 7. Start Word for Windows.

 8. In Word for Windows, choose Open from the File menu, and open the

    printer file, using the same name provided in step 6, above.

 9. Word for Windows will display a list of conversion choices. Choose

    Text in the Convert From list box, then choose OK to begin the

    conversion.

10. The cardfile will now be displayed in Word for Windows, ready for

    further editing.

Word: Grammar Checker Won't Flag Errors in Nonpunctuated Text

Article ID: Q75847

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 5.0, 5.1, 6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Word, when you choose Grammar from the Tools menu, and the document or

selection of the document you want to check is composed of text that the

Grammar checker evaluates as ungrammatical, it treats the file or selection

as if it has no grammatical errors.

Note: A sentence must contain a period or other punctuation mark to be

checked for grammar.

To start the grammar checker, a document must have a certain basic

structure. The Grammar checker determines basic grammatical structure

by searching the text for punctuation, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and

adverbs. If these basic parts of a sentence are missing from the

selection or document, the Grammar command evaluates the entire block

of text as ungrammatical and does not perform a normal grammar check.

As a result, the Grammar command reaches the end of the document or

selection without reporting any errors.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Grammar command is designed to ignore text that is not in a

particular format in order to avoid running grammar checks on items

such as column headings or columns of numbers. Although the words in

these headings/columns can be separated by spaces or tabs and can end

with a carriage return, the Grammar command does not consider them to

be grammatically correct sentences.

Using INCLUDE and LINK Fields with Word for Windows

Article ID: Q78400

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b,

   2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Microsoft Word for Windows, if you want to insert data

that is unlikely to change into a document from another application,

you can use the INCLUDE field. However, if the data is likely to need

updating frequently, using dynamic data exchange (DDE) ensures that

your document includes the most current information. The type of data

you import determines which field is best to use. If the data is

continually updated, such as stock information or charts from

Microsoft Excel, use the LINK field with the \a switch (this switch

updates the field automatically). If the data changes less frequently,

use the LINK field without the \a switch and manually update the

field.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The syntax for these three fields is similar. Compare the following:

   {LINK class-name file-name [place-reference] [format] [automatic]}

   {LINK class-name file-name [place-reference] [format]}

   {INCLUDE file-name [place-reference] [switches] [convert]}

   class-name        This is a description of the data being linked, for

                     example, ExcelWorksheet. These names can be found

                     in the [Embedding] section of the WIN.INI file.

   file-name         This indicates the name of file being referenced,

                     for example, C:\\EXCEL\\Sheet1.XLS.

   place-reference   This is an optional reference to a specific area in

                     the file, such as R1C1.

You can use either of the following two methods to insert a field:

Method 1

--------

1. Position the insertion point at the location where you want the

   linked item to appear.

2. Press CTRL+F9 to insert the field characters ({}).

3. Within the field characters, type the field command and the

   arguments you want to use, as in the following examples:

      LINK ExcelChart Excel C:\\Excel\\Chart1.xlc \p \a

      LINK ExcelChart Excel C:\\Excel\\Chart1.xlc \p

      INCLUDE C:\\Excel\\Sheet1.xls

4. To display the field results, select the field, and press F9 (the

   update field key).

Method 2

--------

1. Position the insertion point at the location where you want the

   linked item to appear.

2. From the Insert menu, choose Field.

3. Select LINK or INCLUDE from the Insert Field Type box.

4. In the Field Code box, position the insertion point to the right of

   the inserted field and type the following:

      ExcelChart Excel C:\\Excel\\Chart1.xlc (if you selected LINK)

  -or-

      C:\\Excel\\Document1.xls (if you selected INCLUDE)

5. Choose the OK button.

6. To display the field results, select the field, and press F9.

WinWord Setup Fails on Disk 2; DRIVPARM Solution

Article ID: Q79207

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b,

   2.0c, 6.0 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, the Setup program fails after you insert Disk 2.

RESOLUTION

==========

You may need to use the MS-DOS DRIVPARM command to correct the problem.

If a physical drive is not reading a disk properly and the disk is not

physically defective, the MS-DOS DRIVPARM command in the CONFIG.SYS

file can often correct the problem. The DRIVPARM command modifies the

parameters of an existing physical drive. It does not create a new

logical drive. The settings specified in the DRIVPARM command override

the driver definitions for any previous block device.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The DRIVPARM command does not correct any problems reading floppy

disks if the disks are defective. In the case of defective disks,

it is necessary to obtain replacement disks from Microsoft Product

Support Services.

Symptoms of Disk Drive Not Reading Properly

-------------------------------------------

Place a Setup disk (Disk 1) in drive A or drive B, and use the MS-DOS

DIR command to display a directory list of that disk. Switch to Disk

2, and use the MS-DOS DIR command to display a directory of Disk 2. If

you receive another directory list for Disk 1, your logical drive is

reading incorrectly.

DRIVPARM Command and Its Parameters

-----------------------------------

If the above problem occurs, add the following statement to your

system's CONFIG.SYS file:

   drivparm=/d:number /f:factor

"/d:number" specifies the physical drive number.

Values for "number" must be in the range 0 through 255 (/d:0 = drive

A, /d:1 = drive B, /d:2 = drive C, and so on).

"/f:factor" specifies the drive type. The factor numbers for drive

types are as follows:

   0 = 160K/180K or 320K/360K

   1 = 1.2 megabyte (MB)

   2 = 720K (3.5-inch disk)

   5 = Hard disk

   6 = Tape

   7 = 1.44 MB (3.5-inch disk)

   8 = Read/write optical disk

   9 = 2.88 MB (3.5-inch disk)

Further information for the DRIVPARM command can be found on pages

455-457 of the "Microsoft MS-DOS Operating System version 5.0 User's

Guide and Reference."

For more information on the MS-DOS DRIVPARM command, query on the

following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   drivparm and MS-DOS and 3.3

OTHER WORKAROUNDS

=================

Method 1: Eject Disk 2 and press ENTER. Then reinsert the disk and press

          ENTER again.

Method 2: When you are prompted to change disks insert disk 2, and use

          ALT+TAB to change the focus to File Manager (or Program

          Manager and start File Manager). Select drive A and press F5

          to force a refresh. Use ALT+TAB to return the focus to Setup

          and continue.

Numbering Columns or Creating Page Numbers for Folded Pages

Article ID: Q79592

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a,

   2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Microsoft Word, you can number the columns on a multiple-column page by

inserting field codes in the document's header or footer. Using this

method, you can simulate the pagination of folded pages (as for a brochure,

pamphlet, booklet, leaflet, or program).

Note: This procedure does not work with Table of Contents or Indices

For information on a macro that will accomplish a folded page document

query on the article number in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   Q97116

MORE INFORMATION

================

You can achieve the numbering scheme diagrammed below by inserting the

following line at the left edge of your document's header or footer

   {={page}+{={page}-1}*1+0}

NOTE: Each pair of field braces ({})are created by pressing CTRL+F9

(COMMAND + F9 in Word for the Macintosh.)

and the following line at the right edge of the header or footer:

   {={page}+{={page}-1}*1+1}

The results are as follows:

           page 1                    page 2

    -------------------       -------------------

   | pg 1    .    pg 2 |     | pg 3    .    pg 4 |

   |         .         |     |         .         |

   |         .         |     |         .         |

   |         .         |     |         .         |

   |         .         |     |         .         |

   |         .         |     |         .         |

   |         .         |     |         .         |

    -------------------       -------------------

You can use the following generic formula to simulate page numbering

for any number of columns:

   page + ((page-1) * n) + m

In this formula, "page" equals the current page field value, "n"

equals the number of columns - 1, "m" equals the column position - 1,

and the first column starts at zero. Insert the above formula in the

header or footer, positioning each formula at the desired location

above or below the appropriate column.

For two-column page numbering, use the following formula:

   {={page}+{={page}-1}*1+0}  1,3,5,...

   {={page}+{={page}-1}*1+1}  2,4,6,...

For three-column page numbering, use the following formula:

   {={page}+{={page}-1}*2+0}  1,4,7,...

   {={page}+{={page}-1}*2+1}  2,5,8,...

   {={page}+{={page}-1}*2+2}  3,6,9,...

For four-column page numbering, use the following formula:

   {={page}+{={page}-1}*3+0}  1,5,9,...

   {={page}+{={page}-1}*3+1}  2,6,10,...

   {={page}+{={page}-1}*3+2}  3,7,11,...

   {={page}+{={page}-1}*3+3}  4,8,12,...

If you want the numbering to start with 0 for the first column, make

the following changes:

1. In the first formula, change the starting value of "m" to equal the

   value of "n" used in that formula. Increase "m" by increments of 1 in

   each additional formula (as in the original formula examples).

2. From the Insert menu, choose Page Numbers. Choose the Format button.

   Select the Start At button and set the value to 0.

Word for Windows: Formulas Display When Pasted from Excel

Article ID: Q81732

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a,

   2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 5.0

---------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When inserting data from a Microsoft Excel worksheet into Microsoft

Word for Windows, the formula may display rather than the desired

numeric result.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In Excel, you can display the formulas in a worksheet rather than the

results of the formulas. It is often useful to have two windows of a

worksheet open: one displaying the formulas and one displaying the

results. If you copy and paste a value into Word for Windows while the

worksheet or the first window of the worksheet is displaying the

formulas, the formula is pasted into Word.

Workaround

----------

To correct this problem, you must turn off the display of formulas in

the first window of the spreadsheet using the following steps:

1. From the Window menu in Excel, choose Unhide (if available) to open

   any hidden windows.

2. From the Options menu, choose Display. Verify that the Formulas

   option is not selected.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

--------------------------

1. Open a worksheet containing formulas in Excel.

2. From the Window menu, choose New Window. This opens a second window

   of the same file, with ":2" (without the quotation marks) following

   the filename.

3. Position the cursor in the first window of the worksheet. From the

   Options menu, choose Display.

4. Select the Formulas option box, and choose the OK button.

5. From the Window menu, choose the second window of the worksheet,

   which is displaying the numeric values.

6. Select one of the numeric values. From the Edit menu, choose Copy.

7. Switch to Word for Windows. From the Edit menu, choose Paste.

The pasted result is the formula rather than the numeric result of the

formula that you copied from Excel.

WordBasic Macro to Number New Documents in Sequence

Article ID: Q85905

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a,

   2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

---------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

  Note: This article refers to glossaries.  In Word 6.0,

  glossaries are called AutoText.  In this article, if you

  are using Word 6.0, glossaries will mean autotext.

With WordBasic, you can produce a series of documents from a

template with filenames that include a number that

increments with each new document created. For example, if

you start three new documents with a template called

INVOICE.DOT, the first document can include a glossary item

named "INVOICE#" that you define as the number 1. Each time

you save a new document created with INVOICE.DOT, the number

stored under the glossary name INVOICE# increments by one.

The filenames INV1.D0C, INV2.DOC, and INV3.DOC are created

as a result of the following macro:

Word 6.0

--------

Sub MAIN

number = Val(GetAutoText$("INVOICE#", 1)) + 1

InvoiceNum$ = Str$(number)

Temp$ = LTrim$(InvoiceNum$)

SetAutoText "INVOICE#", Temp$, 1

FileNa$ = "INV" + Temp$

FileSaveAs .Name = FileNa$

SaveTemplate

End Sub

Word 2.x

--------

Sub MAIN

number = Val(GetGlossary$("INVOICE#", 1)) + 1

InvoiceNum$ = Str$(number)

Temp$ = Right$(InvoiceNum$, Len(InvoiceNum$) - 1)

SetGlossary "INVOICE#", Temp$, 1

FileNa$ = "INV" + Temp$

FileSaveAs .Name = FileNa$

SaveTemplate

End Sub

MORE INFORMATION

================

Line Descriptions:

Line 1 - Starts the Main Subroutine

Line 2 - sets a variable for the number of last invoice file

Line 3 - convert number to a string

Line 4 - retrieves part of the current invoice number

Line 5 - resets the glossary to new number

Line 6 - "INV" and glossary INVOICE# are combined

Line 7 - Document is saved as INV+number

Line 8 - Saves template with new invoice number

Line 9 - Ends the Main Subroutine

Note: The above macro can be named AutoNew in a template so

that the macro runs whenever a new document is created based

on the template. You can also choose to run the macro

whenever you need to save a new file. The SetGlossary and

GetGlossary (SetAutoText and GetAutoText in Word 6.0)

commands in the above macro have the context set to

template; therefore, you must run the above macro from a

document based on a template other than NORMAL.DOT. The

FileSaveAs filename is a combination of "INV" and the

contents of the INVOICE# glossary. The series number for the

document is saved to a template glossary entry named

"INVOICE#."

You can define the glossary item "INVOICE#" from the above

example to specify the starting number for the sequence of

filenames. If the INVOICE# glossary does not exist, the

first time you run the above macro, INVOICE# glossary will

return the number 1. To set the starting value for the

INVOICE# glossary, use the following steps prior to running

the macro:

1. In a new document based on your custom template, type the

initial value for your first filename in the sequence.

2. Select the number. From the Edit menu, choose Glossary

(AutoText in Word 6.0).

3. Type "INVOICE#" (without the quotation marks) as the

glossary name.

4. Choose the Define button.

Information: How Word for Windows Uses Temporary Files

Article ID: Q89247

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a,

   2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article explains when, where, and how Microsoft Word for Windows

creates temporary files. It is divided into two sections, Word version 2.0

and Word version 6.0.

Definition: Temporary File

--------------------------

A temporary file is created by an application to temporarily store

information. The application determines where and when to create temporary

files. Temporary files are available only for the current session of the

application.

Why Does Word Create Temporary Files?

------------------------------------

 - Speed

   Word sometimes copies portions of a file into memory so that it can

   access the information more quickly when you copy and paste or scroll

   through a document. Word references the location of the information

   instead of actually accessing the information, which reduces the time

   Word spends performing these functions.

 - Security

   Word's saving scheme uses temporary files as a "safety net" to protect

   against system errors in its file-saving scheme. By saving to a

   temporary file first and then renaming the file to the proper name, Word

   ensures the integrity of your original file against problems (such as a

   power failure or lost network connections) that might occur while the

   file is being written.

Word Version 6.0

================

Files Typically Created When Word Is Booted               Filename

-------------------------------------------               --------

MS-DOS-based file (to reserve 4 file handles) 0 bytes     ~wrf0000.tmp

MS-DOS-based scratch file                     0 bytes     ~mfxxxx.tmp

Docfile - transacted                          0 bytes     ~dftxxxx.tmp

Docfile - direct (unnamed non-Word/OLE files) 1536 bytes  ~wrf0001.tmp

Other Word Temporary Files                                Filename

--------------------------                                --------

AutoSave (.ASD is the file extension)                     ~wraxxxx.tmp

Copy of another document                                  ~wrcxxxx.tmp

Word document                                             ~wrdxxxx.tmp

Temp docfile                                              ~wrfxxxx.tmp

Dictionary                                                ~wrixxxx.tmp

Clipboard                                                 ~wrlxxxx.tmp

Macro                                                     ~wrmxxxx.tmp

Word OLE document                                         ~wroxxxx.tmp

Scratch file                                              ~wrsxxxx.tmp

Converted (foreign) document                              ~wrvxxxx.tmp

A Simplified View of the Scheme Used to Save an Edited File

-----------------------------------------------------------

Create temp file                     Create ~wrdxxxx.tmp

Write temp file                      Save example data to ~wrdxxxx.tmp

Delete original file                 Delete EXAMPLE.DOC

Move temp to target name             Move ~wrdxxxx.tmp to EXAMPLE.DOC

Word gains significant performance speed by placing the temporary file in

the same directory as the saved file. If Word placed the temporary file

elsewhere, it would have to use the MS-DOS COPY command to move the

temporary file from the other directory to the saved location. By leaving

the temporary file in the same directory as the saved document file, Word

can use the MS-DOS MOVE command to quickly designate the temporary file as

the saved document.

Types of Temporary Files

------------------------

1. MS-DOS-based files

   These are the standard MS-DOS files.

2. Docfile-based files

   These files are somewhat new and unique. The difference between this

   file and a traditional MS-DOS file is that multiple applications can

   read and write to these files without the original owner knowing about

   it. Additionally, docfiles have inherent properties that allow Word to

   create files within files and directories of files within files. Word

   creates one temporary (direct) docfile at boot time called ~WRFxxxx.TMP.

   You can determine that it is a docfile because the initial size is 1536

   bytes. This temporary docfile is used to store all OLE objects belonging

   to unnamed documents, undo, the Clipboard, and to documents whose native

   formats are not docfiles (for example, .TXT, .RTF, and Word 2.0

   documents). The docfile DLLs allow Word to open files under two

   different modes, transacted and direct, each of which is discussed

   below.

3. Transacted Docfiles

   Transacted files allow Word to open a file, write to it, and have other

   applications--such as Microsoft Excel--write to it, but still retain the

   right to restore the file to the state it was in when Word first opened

   it. The way this is done is that docfiles create ghost images (typically

   ~DFTxxxx.TMP) of all the changes made to the file after it was opened;

   if Word determines it will keep all the changes, the docfile DLLs merge

   the contents of ~DFTxxxx.TMP with the original file, and the save is

   complete. On the other hand, if Word determines it will throw away all

   changes, then ~DFTxxxx.TMP is deleted, and the original file is not

   touched. Word opens all of Word 6.0's native files using Transacted

   storages, which create ghost images in the TEMP directory. On boot,

   NORMAL.DOT is typically opened in transacted mode, and a ghost file is

   created for it called DFTxxxx.TMP. FastSave, for example, merges these

   two files when a save occurs.

4. Direct

   Word uses direct storage when opening the temporary docfile and when

   performing either a Save As or a Full Save (non-FastSave save). This

   type of file is a low (if any) memory consumer and does NOT create a

   ghost image when created or opened.

When and Where Word Creates Temporary Files

-------------------------------------------

1. Embedded Word objects: TEMP directory

   When Word acts as an OLE server application, the embedded Word objects

   are stored as temporary files in the TEMP directory.

   OLE 2.0 requires extra drive storage. When you start OLE applications,

   Word needs to hand copies of the data to the server. It is not unusual

   for extensive OLE 2.0 usage in a single session of an application to

   start accumulating a large amount of temporary storage on the hard

   drive.

2. Scratch file: TEMP directory

   When Word runs out of internal RAM, it always creates a single temporary

   scratch file in the TEMP directory to hold information. This scratch

   file holds information that is swapped out from the Word internal file

   cache, which is allocated from global system memory. The scratch file

   varies in size from 64K to 3.5 MB. You can prevent Word from having to

   write to the scratch file by allocating more RAM for Word to use

   internally. You do so by increasing the CACHESIZE setting in the

   WINWORD6.INI. The default in Word for Windows 6.0 is 256K.

3. Recorded macro: TEMP directory

   When you record a macro, Word creates a temporary file in the TEMP

   directory.

4. Converting files: TEMP directory

   The word processing converters supplied with Word create temporary files

   in RTF file format, which are read when Word accesses a specific

   converter.

5. Open a locked file: TEMP directory

   When you open a file that is locked, either because it is open in

   another window of Word or because another user on the network has it

   open, you can work with a copy of the file. Word places this copy in the

   Windows TEMP directory. Likewise, if a template attached to a document

   is locked, Word automatically makes a copy of the template in the TEMP

   directory. The copy of a locked file does not automatically update the

   original owner's file.

6. File Save: Same directory as the saved file

   When you choose the Save command from the File menu, the following

   happens:

    - Word builds a new temporary file using the edited version of the

      document.

    - Once the temporary file is successfully created, Word deletes the

      previous version of the document.

    - Word renames the temporary file to the same name as the previous

      version of the document.

7. Paste between files: Same directory as source file

   When Word copies and pastes between documents, it may create a temporary

   file in the same directory as the source file--especially if the source

   file is saved or closed. The temporary file represents the information

   that was referenced by the Clipboard prior to saving the file. Word

   creates this temporary file by renaming the old copy of the file to a

   temporary filename.

8. Owner file: Same directory as source file

   When a previously saved file is opened for editing, printing, or review,

   Word creates a temporary file. This temporary file is a copy of the

   original file opened and is referred to as the "owner file." When you

   attempt to open a file that is available on a network and is already

   open by someone else, this file causes Word to prompt the following

   error message:  "This file is already opened by <user name>. Would you

   like to make a copy of this file for your use?"  This temporary file is

   deleted automatically by Word when the original file is closed from

   memory.

9. Automatic save: AUTOSAVE directory

   The temporary file created when Word performs an automatic save is

   stored in the AUTOSAVE directory. The default AUTOSAVE directory is the

   TEMP directory.

The Location of Temporary Files When You Close a File

-----------------------------------------------------

Word may occasionally have to maintain a link to a file after it is closed.

This occurs when text has been copied to the Clipboard from the file. When

you close a file, Word attempts the following actions:

 - If the selection that was copied to the Clipboard does not contain

   multiple sections or a picture, or is not large, Word copies the piece

   of the document to the scratch file.

 - If the copied selection does contain pictures or multiple sections, or

   if the file is on a floppy disk, Word copies the entire file to the TEMP

   directory and moves the pointer there.

 - If the file is larger than 256K, Word 6.0 maintains an open link to the

   original file.

Word Version 2.0

================

General Notes: How Word for Windows Handles Files

-------------------------------------------------

All Word version 2.0 for Windows files are always stored on disk and

referenced during each Word session. Word for Windows sometimes copies

portions of a file into memory so that Word can access the information more

quickly when you copy and paste information or scroll through a document.

Word references the location of the information instead of actually

accessing the information, which reduces the time Word spends performing

these functions. If you copy large portions of a Word document to the

Clipboard, Word for Windows maintains an open handle to the file that

contains the copied information.

At the MS-DOS level, you can use the RENAME command within a directory. If

you want to move a file to another directory, you must use the COPY

command. The COPY command is slower than the RENAME command because COPY

rewrites the entire file to disk, whereas RENAME changes only a few bytes

of the file.

When and Where Word for Windows Creates Temporary Files

-------------------------------------------------------

1. Recorded macro: TEMP directory

   When you record a macro, Word for Windows creates a temporary file in

   the TEMP directory. This also occurs when a template is being duplicated

   because the macros in the template are duplicated through the recording

   code. The TEMP directory is specified using the SET TEMP command, which

   is usually located in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

2. File Save: Same directory as the saved file

   When you run the File Save command, the following happens:

    - Word builds a new temporary file (named ~DOC####.TMP) using the

      edited version of the document.

    - Once the temporary file is successfully created, Word deletes the

      previous version of the document.

    - Word renames the temporary file to the same name as the previous

      version of the document.

    NOTE: If Always Create Backup is selected, Word renames the previous

    version with a .BAK extension instead of deleting it.

   Word for Windows gains significant performance speed by placing the

   temporary file in the same directory as the saved file. If Word

   placed the temporary file elsewhere, it would have to use the MS-DOS

   COPY command to move the temporary file from the other directory to

   the saved location. By leaving the temporary file in the same

   directory as the saved document file, Word can use the MS-DOS RENAME

   command to quickly designate the temporary file as the saved document

   file.

   Word for Windows uses this scheme to protect against system errors.

   By saving to a temporary file first and then renaming the file to

   the proper name, Word ensures the integrity of your original file

   against problems (such as a power failure or lost network

   connections) that might occur while the file is being written. If

   Word for Windows wrote directly over the original file or copied

   the file from another directory, the original file would be more

   vulnerable to damage.

3. Open a locked file: TEMP directory

   When you open a file that is locked, either because it is open in

   another instance of Word for Windows or because another user on the

   network has it open, you can make a copy of the file. Word for

   Windows places this copy in the Windows TEMP directory. If you attach a

   locked template, Word for Windows automatically makes a copy of the

   file in the TEMP directory. Note: This copy of a locked file does not

   automatically update the original owner's file.

4. Autosave: AUTOSAVE directory

   The temporary file created when Word for Windows performs an

   autosave is stored in the AUTOSAVE directory, which is defined in

   the [Microsoft Word 2.0] section of the Windows WIN.INI file.

5. Embedded Word objects: TEMP directory

   When Word for Windows acts as an object-linking-and-embedding (OLE)

   server application, the embedded Word objects are stored as

   temporary files in the TEMP directory.

6. Scratch file: TEMP directory

   When Word for Windows runs out of internal RAM, it always creates a

   single temporary scratch file in the TEMP directory to hold

   information. This scratch file holds information that is swapped

   out from the Word for Windows internal file cache, which is

   allocated from global system memory. The scratch file varies in

   size from 64K to 3.5 MB. You can prevent Word from having to write

   to the scratch file by allocating more RAM for Word to use

   internally. You do so by increasing the CACHESIZE setting in the

   [Microsoft Word 2.0] section of the WIN.INI file. Experimentation

   is required to find optimal settings for every configuration.

7. Converting files: TEMP directory

   The word processing converters supplied with Word for Windows

   create temporary files in RTF file format, which are read when Word

   accesses a specific converter.

8. Paste between files: Same directory as source file

   When Word copies and pastes between documents, it may create a

   temporary file in the same directory as the source file, especially

   if the source file is saved or closed. The temporary file represents

   the information that was referenced by the Clipboard prior to saving

   the file. Word for Windows creates this temporary file by renaming the

   old copy of the file to a temporary filename (~DOC####.TMP).

9. Owner File: Same directory as source file

   When a previously saved file is opened for editing, printing,

   review, and so forth, Word creates a temporary file with a .DOC

   extension that begins with a tilde "~" followed by a dollar sign

   "$" followed by the remainder of the original filename. This

   temporary file is a copy of the original file opened and is

   referred to as the "Owner File." When you attempt to open a file

   that is available on a network and is already open by someone else,

   this file causes Word to prompt the error message: "This file is

   already opened by USER Name.  Would you like to make a copy of this

   file for your use?" This temporary file is deleted automatically by

   Word when the original file is closed from memory.

WinWord: Using Nested IF Fields in Print Merge

Article ID: Q90393

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a,

   2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Word for Windows, you can use the IF field to obtain customized

print merge results. By nesting IF fields, as described in this

article, you can obtain conditional print merge results and logically

construct the equivalent of Boolean AND and OR statements.

MORE INFORMATION

================

IF field syntax:

   {IF Exp Op Exp TrueResult [FalseResult]}

where TrueResult and FalseResult can be either text or a nested IF

field. If you do not include the FalseResult argument, Word returns

nothing if the result is false.

Conditional Print Merge Results Using IF Field

----------------------------------------------

In the following example, each form letter requests that its recipient

attend a meeting on a different date, based on the city field.

Data Document:

   NAME, ADDRESS, CITY, STATE, ZIP

   Bill Brown, 123 Acorn St., Seattle, WA, 98035

   Sandy Sill, 234 Ash St., Los Angeles, CA, 99888

   Fred Turner, 345 Birch Ave., San Francisco, CA, 45555

   Lynne Lowe, 456 Walnut St., Boise, ID, 83240

Main Document:

   Please attend the Windows meeting on {if {city}= "Seattle"

   "Tuesday, March 21." {if {city}= "Los Angeles" "Wednesday, March

   22." {if {city}= "San Francisco" "Thursday, March 23." "Friday,

   March 24."}}}.

Merged Results:

   (for Mr. Brown)

   Please attend the Windows meeting on Tuesday, March 21.

   (for Ms. Sill)

   Please attend the Windows meeting on Wednesday, March 22.

   (for Mr. Turner)

   Please attend the Windows meeting on Thursday, March 23.

   (for Ms. Lowe)

   Please attend the Windows meeting on Friday, March 24.

Using IF Field to Perform Boolean AND and OR Operations

-------------------------------------------------------

The IF field does not directly support Boolean AND and OR operations

in a print merge. However, the logical AND and OR operators are

actually just abbreviations of nested IF statements, so you can

construct the equivalent of Boolean AND and OR operations using the

following syntax:

 - OR: Position the second test inside the second set of quotation

   marks.

   {IF test1 "TrueResult" "{IF test2 "TrueResult" "FalseResult"}"}

 - AND: Position the second test inside the first set of quotation

   marks.

   {IF test1 "{IF test2 "TrueResult" "FalseResult"}" "FalseResult"}

Constructing a Boolean AND Statement

------------------------------------

This AND statement:

  IF (field <> "A") AND (field <> "B") THEN

   "TrueResult"

  ELSE

   "FalseResult"

  END IF

can be translated to an IF statement for use in a print merge as

follows:

  {IF field <> "A" "{IF field <> "B" "TrueResult" "FalseResult"}"

  "FalseResult"}

Constructing a Boolean OR Statement

-----------------------------------

This OR statement:

  IF (field = "A") OR (field = "B") THEN

   "TrueResult"

  ELSE

   "FalseResult"

  END IF

can be translated to an IF statement for use in a print merge as

follows:

  {IF field = "A" "result" "{IF field = "B" "TrueResult"

  "FalseResult"}"}

WordBasic Macros to Write AutoText Entries to Text File

Article ID: Q91077

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

---------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Microsoft Word for Windows does not include an option to write the

contents of your Autotext entries to a text file. This article

contains two macros that you can use to export your Autotext entries

to a text file named either GLOBAL.TXT (for global Autotext entries)

or TEMPLATE.TXT (for template Autotext entries).

Note: To generate a printed list of your AutoText entries instead of

a text file, choose Print from the File command, select AutoText

Entries in the Print What box, and choose the OK button.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Note: Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of

any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to

the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a

particular purpose.

Global Autotext Entries

-----------------------

Use the following macro to write the global AutoText entries (entries

from NORMAL.DOT and any global templates) to a text file named

GLOBAL.TXT, stored in the current directory:

Sub MAIN

Open "GLOBAL.TXT" For Output As #1

For count = 1 To CountAutoTextEntries()

 a$ = AutoTextName$(count)

 Print #1, "Autotext Name: ", a$

 Print #1, GetAutoText$(a$)

 Print #1, ""

Next count

Close #1

End Sub

Template Autotext Entries

-------------------------

Use the following macro to write the Autotext entries from the

current template to a text file named TEMPLATE.TXT, stored in the

current directory:

Sub MAIN

Open "TEMPLATE.TXT" For Output As #1

For count = 1 To CountAutoTextEntries(1)

 a$ = AutoTextName$(count, 1)

 Print #1, "Autotext Name: ", a$

 Print #1, GetAutoText$(a$, 1)

 Print #1, ""

Next count

Close #1

End Sub

The CountAutoTextEntries function determines the number of Autotext

entries for the specified context (global is the default context).

The AutoTextName$ function returns the Autotext name, which the

GetAutoText$ function uses to retrieve the contents of the Autotext

entry.

Insert Autotext Entries into Document

-------------------------------------

Use the following macro to insert all global AutoText entries into

a new document window.

Sub MAIN

FileNewDefault

For count = 1 To CountAutoTextEntries()

 a$ = AutoTextName$(count)

 Bold 1 : Insert a$

 InsertPara

 Bold 0 : EditAutoText .Name = a$, .Insert

 InsertPara : InsertPara

Next

End Sub

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word for Windows and Excel are not TWAIN compliant. This means that you

cannot access a scanner from within Word to acquire graphics images

directly from a scanning application such as Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskScan

IIp.

MORE INFORMATION

================

TWAIN is the industry standard protocol for scanning and acquiring graphics

from software applications.

HP DeskScan IIp is a scanning software application you can use with the HP

ScanJet IIp, ScanJet IIc, and ScanJet Plus scanners. You can run DeskScan

IIp as a stand-alone application for scanning and saving images in

different file formats. You can also access DeskScan IIp from within a

TWAIN-compliant application using a special linking process. If you access

DeskScan IIp from within your application, you can select, scan, and insert

a graphic image that you have not previously saved on disk.

TWAIN-compliant applications contain two additional commands on the File

menu:

 - Select Source: Use this command to select your scanner.

 - Acquire: Use this command to open DeskScan IIp when you want to

   scan and insert a graphic image in your current file.

The Hewlett-Packard products included here are manufactured by a

vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or

otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.

Send Command Missing from File Menu

Article ID: Q97095

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Word for Windows, the Send command does not appear on the File menu

unless the Windows WIN.INI file contains the following entry:

   [Mail]

   MAPI=1

Word does not display the Send command on the File menu when the

WIN.INI file does not contain the above entry, even when you make the

assignment using the Tools Options Menu command. Word appears to

accept the menu assignment, but Send does not appear on the menu you

assigned it to. If you save the global glossary and command changes

after you attempt to assign Send to a menu, Word saves the change to

the menu structure but does not display the Send command unless the

MAPI=1 line is present in the [Mail] section of the WIN.INI file.

For information on editing the WIN.INI file, refer to page 810 in

"Microsoft Word for Windows User's Guide."

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Send command works correctly only if your mail program is MAPI

compliant, regardless of the presence or absence of the WIN.INI file

entry mentioned above.

Send Mail As Attachment Option

------------------------------

The MAPI=1 line in the [Mail] section of your WIN.INI file also

determines whether the Send Mail As Attachment option appears under

the General category of the Tools Options command. If you select the

Send Mail As Attachment option, Word embeds the current document as an

attachment in a mail message. If you cancel the selection of this

option, Word inserts the text of the current document in a mail

message.

SYMPTOMS

========

The following error message may occur after you run the Word 6.0a for

Windows Patch (UPGRADE.EXE) to upgrade your existing Word 6.0 installation:

   The wrong WWINTL.DLL  has been loaded. Make sure that the Word

   directory is in the path.

CAUSE

=====

U.S. (North American) Version of Word 6.0

-----------------------------------------

If you ran the Word 6.0a Patch to upgrade a U.S. version of Word 6.0 for

Individual Word Session Launched for Each Attached Document

Article ID: Q102496

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Mail for Windows, version 3.0

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups Mail, version 3.1

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b,

   2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

 - Windows launches an individual instance of Word for Windows for each

   attached Word document you open from within a Mail for Windows message.

   -or-

 - Windows launches an individual instance of Word for Windows for each

   document file you double-click in File Manager.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs in Mail and File Manager when the file association for

.DOC files is incorrect or when the Word 6.0 Document setting is incorrect

or incomplete in the Windows registration database file (REG.DAT).

For example, if the file association for .DOC files is set to

   C:\WINWORD6\WINWORD.EXE

Windows starts a new instance of Word each time a file is launched from

File Manager or a document is opened from Mail. If the file association is

set to

   Microsoft Word 6.0 Document

Windows checks REG.DAT and follows the instructions on the Command Line for

an Open action. (The default is to check and see whether Word is running

and open another document in the current Word program before starting

another instance of Word.)

RESOLUTION

==========

Use the appropriate procedure below to associate .DOC files with Word and

correct the Word Document settings in the REG.DAT file.

Word Versions 2.0b and Later

----------------------------

To check the .DOC association:

1. In Windows File Manager, select a file with a .DOC extension.

Spelling Checker Flags Words Formatted with All Caps

Article ID: Q102708

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02, 4.0,

   5.0, 5.1

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b,

   2.0c

 - Windows operating system versions 3.0 and 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word's Spelling command may flag a word formatted in All Caps as

improperly capitalized. For example, if All Caps character formatting is

applied to the word "teSt" to appear as "TEST", the Spell Checker will

flag it as misspelled. The specific error message in the Spelling dialog

box will be

   Capitalization: teSt

or in Word for the Macintosh versions 3.x/4.0:

   Unknown Word: teSt

Similarly, misspelled words formatted in All Caps will be flagged even

if the Ignore All Caps feature is on. For example, if All Caps character

format is applied to the word "city" to appear like "CITY", the Spell

Checker will flag it as misspelled. The specific error message in the

Spelling dialog box will be

   Not in Dictionary: city

or in Word for the Macintosh versions 3.x/4.0:

   Unknown Word: city

WORKAROUND

==========

Changing the case of the characters to true uppercase allows the

spelling checker to perform as expected. To change the case of

characters, follow the appropriate steps outlined below. (Note: Word for

the Macintosh versions 3.x and 4.0 have no method to change lowercase

characters into uppercase characters.)

Word for Windows

----------------

Select the characters to be changed, and then press SHIFT+F3 to change

the case of the selection to all capital letters. For more information

on SHIFT+F3, refer to page 151 of the Word for Windows "User's Guide."

Word for the Macintosh

----------------------

In Word 5.0 and 5.1, select the characters to be changed and choose

Change Case from the Format menu. Select Uppercase and choose OK.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word's spelling checker identifies uppercase and lowercase characters by

their ASCII value. For example, the ASCII value of "a" is 97, and the

ASCII value of "A" is 65. The All Caps character format does not change

the ASCII value of lowercase characters. If All Caps is applied to a

lowercase character, although the character appears uppercase in the

document, the characters still retain their lowercase ASCII values.

To ignore words in uppercase during a spelling check, select

Options/Preferences from the Tools menu, select the Spelling category,

and select Words In UPPERCASE in the Ignore section. Choose the close

box.

NEWS: MS Announces ODBC Desktop Database Drivers Version 1.0

Article ID: Q103968

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article contains an August 9, 1993, Microsoft press release that

announces and describes Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).

MORE INFORMATION

================

Microsoft Announces ODBC Desktop Database Drivers Version 1.0;

Delivers Data to Applications from All Major Desktop Databases

--------------------------------------------------------------

REDMOND, Wash. - Aug. 9, 1993 - Microsoft Corporation today announced

Microsoft(R) Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) Desktop Database Drivers

version 1.0, a set of drivers that provides Microsoft Windows(TM)

operating system-based applications easy access to the most popular

desktop databases and file formats through ODBC.

Customers can use the ODBC Desktop Database Drivers in conjunction with

ODBC-enabled applications, or develop new applications with the drivers.

The ODBC drivers deliver data to applications from desktop databases and

file formats, including Microsoft Access(R) database management system

versions 1.0 and 1.1, FoxPro(R) database management system versions 2.0

and 2.5, Microsoft Excel 3.0 and 4.0, Btrieve(R) 5.1, dBASE III(R),

dBASE IV(R), Paradox(R) 3.0 and 3.5 and formatted text files.

"Customers now have a single, convenient set of drivers to access the

most popular desktop databases using ODBC," said Kyle Geiger, ODBC

general manager at Microsoft. "Users can work with a variety of desktop

databases in a consistent manner from within any ODBC-enabled

application. The ODBC Desktop Database Drivers will make it easier for

corporate developers and ISVs to deliver an exciting array of

ODBC-enabled applications on the Windows operating system. Microsoft

ODBC provides broad, open data access, whether that data resides on a

large corporate database or on a desktop DBMS. This set of drivers adds

to the growing list of 20- plus drivers available."

ODBC Drivers Make it Easy to Deliver Data to Applications

---------------------------------------------------------

ODBC Desktop Database Drivers version 1.0 makes it easy for independent

software vendors (ISVs), solution providers and corporate developers to

provide applications that access a variety of desktop databases using

ODBC. Microsoft is making the drivers available for commercial

redistribution, so that software vendors can easily provide broad

database compatibility to their customers, simply by shipping the ODBC

Desktop Database Drivers with their applications.

Each driver in the ODBC Desktop Database Drivers includes an extensive

help file that provides detailed information about what functionality is

available to the developer.

Using the ODBC Desktop Database Drivers, ISVs and Solution Providers

(system integrators, value-added resellers, consultants, training

organizations and other businesses that create line-of- business

computing solutions using Microsoft products) can more easily create and

offer a single application version that supports all popular desktop

databases, enabling vendors to provide a more flexible application

solution to their customers.

"Powersoft is committed to providing access to a variety of desktop data

sources from its Enterprise Series of products [PowerBuilder, PowerMaker

and PowerViewer]," said Bill Critch, director of business and alliance

programs for Powersoft Corporation. "To deliver on this commitment, we

have adopted ODBC as our primary database interface. The availability of

the Microsoft drivers will enhance our efforts to provide corporate and

commercial developers with the seamless point-and-click techniques that

the industry has come to expect with PowerBuilder."

"From the start, ObjectView supported ODBC to ensure maximum flexibility

in visually developing client-server applications that access multiple

databases across an organization," said Donald P. Addington, president

and chief operating officer of KnowledgeWare. "For expanded access and

convenience, KnowledgeWare will begin shipping the newly available ODBC

Desktop Database Drivers as an integral part of every copy of

ObjectView."

Corporate developers gain the same advantages from the ODBC drivers, by

incorporating them into their internally developed applications, or

extending the database compatibility of ODBC-enabled commercial

applications. Users benefit by having support out of the box for their

choice of desktop databases, and can easily access multiple databases

from within a single application.

"ODBC is an important component of our strategy with Windows," said Tom

Connors, group technical staff of Texas Instruments Incorporated. "It is

the glue that binds together proprietary data resources and

Windows-based applications into open, interoperable systems. ODBC allows

suppliers of database technologies to open their products to standard

access methods, yet retain their competitive and proprietary advantages.

It also relieves developers from the burden of development to support

divergent data sources, including text files, Btrieve and SQL

databases."

"The development of a common, open API that will allow various front-end

data access and reporting tools to access different database types is

just what the industry needs," said Salvatore Scipione, manager,

Technology Resource Center of Independence Blue Cross. "Over the years,

we have built many systems with a variety of tools accessing a variety

of unique-to-the-tool databases. The ODBC data drivers and corresponding

tools that support ODBC will now give us the flexibility to migrate

pieces of these older systems or simply add to them rather than perform

a complete conversion to our newer toolset."

System Requirements

-------------------

ODBC Desktop Database Drivers version 1.0 requires Windows 3.0 or

higher; an EGA, VGA or higher display; a hard disk with 3 MB available

disk space and a high-density floppy disk drive. Also required for

software developers are the ODBC SDK version 1.0, the Windows 3.1 SDK

and the Microsoft C 8.0 or compatible compiler. For more information or

to obtain the Microsoft ODBC Software Development Kit, call (800)

227-4679. The Novell(R) WBTRCALL.DLL is required for use with the ODBC

Btrieve driver.

Pricing and Availability

------------------------

ODBC Desktop Database Drivers version 1.0 is scheduled to be available

in two to three weeks for a suggested retail price of $49. Licenses for

commercial and non-commercial (corporate internal) redistribution are

available.

More on ODBC

------------

Microsoft ODBC is the database component of the Windows Open Services

Architecture (WOSA). WOSA provides Microsoft applications, customers and

ISVs with standard interfaces for access to a wide variety of services

such as mail, databases and networking communications.

Founded in 1975, Microsoft (NASDAQ "MSFT") is the worldwide leader in

1.  Q. Why doesn't background printing work when I print from Word 6.0

       to my Hewlett-Packard(R) (HP(R)) DeskJet(R) printer?

    A. Word turns off the Background Printing option and makes the

       option unavailable under the Printing tab of the Tools Options

       dialog box when you use certain versions of the HP printer

       drivers for the HP DeskJet printer. Word does this for the

       following HP printer drivers because they sometimes fail to

       print small portions of text when the Background Printing

       option is turned on:

        - DJ500C.DRV versions 2.x for the DeskJet printer series

        - DESKJETC.DRV version 3.1 for the DeskJet printer series

       With background printing turned off in Word, these printer

       drivers print reliably and lose no text.

       You can turn on the Background Printing option for these

       printer drivers by setting a printer heuristic in the

       WINWORD6.INI file using the following procedure. However, keep

       in mind that some portions of text in your Word document may

       not print.

       1.  From the File menu, choose Print.

       2.  Choose the Printer button.

       3.  From the Printers list, select your DeskJet printer, and

           then choose the Set As Default Printer button.

       4.  In the Print Setup dialog box, choose the Close button. In

           the File Print dialog box, choose the Close button.

       5.  Open the MACRO60.DOT file, supplied with Word. This file is

           located in the <WINWORD6>\TEMPLATE subdirectory (where

           <WINWORD6>is the name of your Word 6.0 directory).

       6.  From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

       7.  From the Macros Available In list, select Macro60.dot

           (Template).

       8.  From the Macro Name list, select SetPrintFlags and then

           choose the Run button.

       9.  In the Set Printer Flags dialog box, clear the Disable

           Background Printing, +64 option and then choose OK.

       10. When the following message appears, choose Yes:

              Do you want to replace current settings with these

              options?

              This will change printing behavior!

2.  Q. How do I change the formatting for the envelopes I print in

       Word?

    A. When you use the Envelopes And Labels command on the Tools menu

       to create envelopes in Word 6.0, you can change the font

       formatting and address position by doing the following:

       1.  From the Tools menu, choose Envelopes And Labels.

       2.  Select the Envelopes tab and then choose the Options button.

       3.  In the Envelope Options dialog box, select the Envelope

           Options tab.

       4.  Modify the font and position settings for the delivery and

           return addresses and then choose OK.

             NOTE: If you want to change the default font settings,

             choose the Default button in the Envelope Return Address

             and Envelope Address dialog boxes.

       5.  Print your envelope or add it to your document.

       For more information on the Envelopes And Labels command, see

       Chapter 23, "Printing," in the "Microsoft Word User's Guide" or

       search for "envelopes" using the Help menu.

3.  Q. Why doesn't my graphic print in Word?

    A. Graphics may not print for a variety of reasons, including the

       following:

       1.  Your printer may not be able to print a graphic image that

           you scaled in Word. To print the graphic in Word, do one of

           the following:

           a. Scale the image in the original application.

           - or -

           b. Remove the scaling formatting from the graphic in Word

              and then try printing again. To remove scaling, choose

              Picture from the Format menu, choose the Reset button,

              and then choose OK.

       2.  You may have an old or incompatible version of your printer

           driver. You should always print using the latest version

           of the Windows driver for your printer. To determine your

           printer driver version, do the following:

           a. From the File menu, choose Print.

           b. Choose the Printer button, then choose the Options

              button.

           c. Choose the About button. The version of your printer

              driver should appear in the About dialog box. If there is

              no About button in the Options dialog box, look for a

              version number in the Options dialog box, near the OK

              button.

       3.  The Draft Output check box may be selected in the Print

           Options dialog box. To print graphics, clear this check box

           by doing the following:

           a. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

           b. Select the Print tab.

           c. Clear the Draft Output check box and then choose OK.

       4.  The Drawing Objects check box may not be selected in the

           Print Options dialog box. To print drawing objects you

           created in Word, select this option using the following

           steps:

           a. From the File menu, choose Print.

           b. Choose the Options button.

           c. Select the Drawing Objects option and then choose OK.

       5.  If your graphic is an encapsulated PostScript(R) (EPS) file,

           you must print it to a PostScript printer. If you do not

           have a PostScript printer, you cannot print an EPS graphic.

           If you have a PostScript printer, use the following steps to

           make sure you are using the PostScript printer driver:

           a. From the File menu, choose Print.

           b. Choose the Printer button.

           c. Select your PostScript printer in the Printers list and

              then choose the Set As Default Printer button.

              NOTE: If your PostScript printer does not appear in the

              Printers list, you must install the printer driver using

              the Printers icon in the Windows Control Panel.

4.  Q. How can I increase the printing speed of Word for Windows?

    A. Here are five things you can do to increase the printing speed

       of Word:

       1.  Use a printer font instead of a downloadable font.

       2.  Make sure there is a SET TEMP statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT

           file and that it points to a valid directory with at least 2

           megabytes of free disk space.

       3.  In Windows Print Manager, choose the High Priority setting

           to allocate more computer processor time to Print Manager.

           Your documents print faster, but you must wait longer for

           the hourglass to disappear in Word when you print.

       4.  Make more conventional memory available by doing any or all

           of the following:

           a. Remove unnecessary device drivers and memory-resident

              software, such as screen savers and virus-detection

              software, from your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.

           b. In Word, switch to draft view. To do this, choose Options

              from the Tools menu, select the View tab, and select the

              Draft Font option.

           c. Maximize both the Word application and all document

              windows.

       5.  From the Tools menu, choose Options, select the Printing

           tab, and clear the Background Printing check box. When this

           option is not selected, your documents print faster, but you

           must wait longer for the hourglass to disappear in Word when

           you print.

5.  Q. I am using a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet(R) IIP with Word and

       my envelope does not print or it prints incorrectly. What can I

       do?

    A. If you are running under Windows version 3.1, choose Print

       Setup from the File menu, and make sure the printer selected is

       the IIP, not the Series II. If the Series II is selected, the

       envelope address prints in the wrong position.

6.  Q. In Word 2.0, I use the Page Setup command on the Format menu to

       change the paper size, paper source, paper orientation, and

       margin settings. How do I change these settings in Word 6.0?

    A. In Word 6.0, you can change these settings by choosing Page

       Setup from the File menu. For more information, see Chapter 11

       in the "Microsoft Word User's Guide."

7.  Q. How do I change to a different printer in Word 6.0?

    A. When you switch to a different printer in Word, you also change

       the default printer setting for Windows. Use the following

       steps to switch to a different printer in Word 6.0:

       1.  From the File menu, chose Print.

       2.  Choose the Printers button.

       3.  Select the printer you want to use and then choose the Set

           As Default Printer button.

            NOTE: If your printer does not appear in the Printers list,

            you must install its printer driver using the Printers icon

            in the Windows Control Panel.

8.  Q. How do I get my document to print from a different tray on my

       printer?

    A. Use the following steps to switch to a different paper tray:

       1.  From the File menu, choose Page Setup.

       2.  Select the Paper Source tab.

       3.  Select the printer bin you want to use in the First Page and

           Other Pages boxes, then choose OK.

9.  Q. When I try to print, nothing happens. What should I do?

    A. First, use the steps in the "Troubleshooting" section of

       Chapter 23, "Printing," in the "Microsoft Word User's Guide."

       If you still can't print, use the following additional

       troubleshooting steps:

       1.  Check the status of your print job in Windows Print Manager.

           If the print job is stalled, choose the Resume button.

       2.  Try printing a file supplied with Word, such as README.DOC.

           If that file prints, the problem may be related to your

           document. To rule out this possibility, save your file in

           rich-text format (RTF) using the following steps:

           a. From the File menu, choose Save As.

           b. From the Save File As Type list, select Rich Text Format.

           c. In the File Name box, type a new filename with an RTF

              extension, and then choose OK.

           d. From the File menu, choose Open.

           e. In the List Files Of Type box, select Rich Text Format.

           f. Select the file you saved in step c above and then choose

              OK. If Word prompts you to convert the file, choose OK.

           g. Try printing the document.

       3.  If you are printing over a network, make sure your network

           connection is intact. Check with your network administrator

           for assistance.

        4. If you still can't print, try to print a file from the

           Windows Write program. If you cannot print from Write, the

           problem is probably affecting all your Windows-based

           applications. Contact Microsoft Product Support Services for

           Windows at (206) 637-7098.

10. Q. How can I get my table gridlines to print?

    A. Table gridlines do not print. Word uses table gridlines to

       display the table on the screen. To print lines between table

       cells, add borders to the table. You can use the Grid preset

       border in the Borders And Shading command to place a border

       around each cell in your table, as described in the following

       procedure:

       1.  From the Table menu, choose Select Table to select the

           entire table.

       2.  From the Format menu, choose Borders And Shading.

       3.  Select the Borders tab.

       4.  In the Presets box, select Grid and then choose OK.

11. Q. What can I do if the text on my envelopes is printing in the

       wrong location?

    A. When the text on your envelopes prints in the wrong location,

       the settings in the Envelope Printing Options dialog box may

       not be correct for your printer. To change these settings, do

       the following:

       1.  From the Tools menu, choose Envelopes And Labels.

       2.  Choose the Options button.

       3.  Select the Print Options tab.

       4.  Select the Feed Method icon that matches the envelope

           feeding direction your printer uses. Change the other

           settings if necessary and then choose OK.

       5.  Print your envelope or add it to your document.

12. Q. How do I put an envelope button on my toolbar?

    A. You can use the Customize command on the Tools menu to add any

       command to a toolbar in Word. Use the procedure below to add an

       envelope button to your toolbar. See Chapter 31 in the

       "Microsoft Word for Windows User's Guide" for more information.

       1.  From the Tools menu, choose Customize.

       2.  Select the Toolbars tab.

       3.  From the Categories list, select Tools.

       4.  In the Buttons box, locate the Envelope button.

       5.  Drag the Envelope button and drop it where you want it to

           appear on the desired toolbar.

       6.  If you want the Envelope button to be available globally,

           select NORMAL.DOT from the Save Changes In box, then choose

           the Close button.

 q & a Q&A


Drawing Object Does Not Appear on the Page

Article ID: Q104689

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you create a drawing object in Word for Windows, sometimes it does not

appear on the screen or printed page. This may happens under the following

circumstances:

 - If you drag the drawing object off the page.

 - if you change the page size or orientation so the drawing object

   position is no longer on the page.

 - If you insert a drawing object well below the paragraph it is anchored

   to, and then insert paragraphs above the anchored paragraph.

This problem occurs only with drawing layer objects; it doesn't happen with

frames or inserted pictures.

WORKAROUND

==========

From the Tools menu select Options and choose the View tab. Be sure that

Show Object Anchors is checked. Draw a new drawing object (like a box) on

the page that the object disappeared from. Select the new drawing object

and press the TAB key. This will cycle Word through all of the drawing

objects on the page. When Word has found the paragraph that the missing

drawing object is anchored to, from the Format menu select Drawing Object.

Choose the Size and Position tab and type 0" in the Vertical Position text

box and select Paragraph from the From drop-down box and choose OK. The

Drawing Object will return to the location of the anchored paragraph.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior is a design feature of Word. You can use this functionality

to position a drawing object at the edge of a page, with part of the object

on the page and part of it off the page.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To select a drawing object that occurs off the page, modify the Page Setup

settings so the object becomes visible, then select it.

You cannot use the Go To command on the Edit menu to select a drawing

object that occurs off the page.

No error message appears to notify you that some objects are located

outside the page boundaries.

Drag-and-Drop Extends Selection Instead of Moving It

Article ID: Q104690

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you select text or a graphic and then try to drag it, Word  may extend

the selection instead of dragging it.

CAUSE

=====

You did not wait for the mouse pointer to change to a drag- and-drop

pointer. The drag-and-drop pointer appears after a short pause

(approximately one-half second). If you attempt to drag your selection

before the drag-and-drop pointer appears, Word extends the selection

instead.

STATUS

======

The short wait requisite is a design feature of Word. It was implemented in

response to Word usability studies in which Word users inadvertently

dragged and dropped text when they wanted to extend the selection.

Setup Requires Restart of Windows with ODBC Drivers

Article ID: Q104768

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you install the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) drivers during Word

for Windows Setup, you cannot successfully complete Setup unless you

restart Windows.

CAUSE

=====

You must restart Windows to initialize the ODBC drivers.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Word Setup program installs the ODBC drivers in the <Windows>\SYSTEM

subdirectory (where <Windows> is the name of your Windows directory) if you

select the Complete installation option. Setup does not install ODBC

drivers when you select the Typical or Laptop/Minimum installation option,

so you do not need to restart Windows when you use these options.

Word Sorts Numeric Index Entries as Alphabetic Entries

Article ID: Q104877

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In an index, Word for Windows incorrectly sorts INDEX ENTRY (XE) field text

that contains numbers. For example, if your document contains the following

numeric XE fields,

   {XE "735"}

   {XE "76"}

   {XE "7123"}

the entries appear in the following order when you compile the index:

   7123

   735

   76

CAUSE

=====

Word sorts numbers in the same manner as it sorts alphabetic entries, that

is, one character at a time. For example, Word places all numbers that

begin with 1 (such as 12, 156, or 1147) before all numbers that begin with

2 (such as 22, 256, or 2276). If two or more items begin with the same

character, Word evaluates subsequent characters in each item to determine

which item should come first. For example, Word places 124 before 19 based

on the second digit (2 is smaller than 9, so 124 comes before 19).

WORKAROUND

==========

Add a sorting text argument to your XE field. The sorting text argument is

the index entry number padded with leading zeros. Pad the number with

leading zeros so all your numeric XE fields contain the same number of

digits. In other words, the sorting text arguments should contain as many

digits as the largest number used in an XE field.

To correctly sort the numbers listed in the "Symptoms"

section above,

insert the following XE fields:

   {XE "735;0735"}

   {XE "76;0076"}

   {XE "7123;7123"}

Word places these XE entries in the following order in your index (notice

that Word sorts the entry based on the sorting text argument instead of the

actual XE text, but places the actual XE text in the index):

   76

   735

   7123

Accent Bar and Callout Line Not Resized with Callout

Article ID: Q104879

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you use the ruler to resize a callout in the Word for Windows drawing

layer, the callout line (arrow) and accent bar do not move with the

callout. By contrast, if you resize the callout using the sizing handles,

the callout line and accent bar move correctly with the callout.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Do not use the ruler to resize callouts. Use one of the following

methods instead:

 - Drag any handle on the drawing object.

   -or-

 - Use the Drawing Object command on the Format menu.

   -or-

 - Choose the Format Callout button on the Drawing toolbar.

Protected Form Opens with Field Codes View Turned Off

Article ID: Q104950

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You cannot switch to field codes view in a protected form because the

Field Codes command on the View menu is unavailable (dimmed).

CAUSE

=====

If a document is protected for forms, Word turns off the

Field Codes option under the View tab of the Tools Options dialog box.

This is a design feature of Word 6.0.

WORKAROUND

==========

To view the field codes in a protected form, unprotect the document

and then select the Field Codes option under the View tab in the Tools

Options dialog box.

For more information on protecting forms, see Chapter 14, "Forms," in

the "Microsoft Word User's Guide."

Cannot Change Default Data Field Names in Mail Merge Helper

Article ID: Q105033

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You cannot change the list of default mail merge field names in the

Create Data Source dialog box.

CAUSE

=====

You cannot change these defaults because the names are hard-coded in

the Word for Windows program.

WORKAROUND

==========

Although you cannot change the defaults, you can use the

following macro to automatically change the field names when you create a

mail merge data file:

   Sub Main

   Dim Dlg As MailMergeCreateDataSource

   GetCurValues Dlg

   Dlg.HeaderRecord = "First,Last,whatever"   ' List of field names

   REM Use Windows list separator to delimit field names.

   Dialog Dlg

   MailMergeCreateDataSource Dlg

   End Sub

Note: If you press ESC to cancel this macro while it is running, a

WordBasic error will occur. Add an error trapping routine if you want to

avoid such error messages.

Macro Recorder Does Not Record InsertTableOfFigures Statement

Article ID: Q105094

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you record a macro that inserts a table of figures using the Index And

Tables command on the Insert menu, Word for Windows incorrectly records the

InsertTableOfContents command instead of the InsertTableOfFigures command.

When you run the macro, however, Word correctly inserts the table of

figures in your document.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Although Word recorded the macro incorrectly, the macro performs correctly.

If you want to change the macro, open it in a macro-editing window and

change "InsertTableOfContents" to "InsertTableOfFigures."

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you choose the Show Next or Show Previous button on the Header and

Footer toolbar, Word for Windows may go to the incorrect header or footer.

For example, in a document that contains different odd and even headers or

footers, Word goes from the odd header/footer in one section to the odd

header/footer in the next section when you choose the Show Next button. In

other words, Word skips the even header/footer for the first section.

Screen Corruption with ATI Ultra and Other Video Drivers

Article ID: Q105097

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Any of the following screen display problems may occur due to problems with

the video driver supplied with your video card:

 - Screen distortion, such as "snow" or "remnants," may appear when

   you type or scroll in Word 6.0 with certain video display drivers,

   such as the ATI Ultra. When Word redraws the screen, the distortion

   disappears, but it recurs the next time you type or scroll. The

   problem may be more noticeable when you type bold or italic text.

 - The hot spots on the status bar appear to do nothing when you

   double-click them, even though they are actually functioning

   normally.

 - The text and messages on the status bar may be hard to read or may

   not display at all. For example, when you press the INSERT key to

   turn on overtype mode in Word, "OVR" does not appear on the status

   bar to indicate that you are in this mode.

 - The shading applied by some wizards does not display correctly. For

   example, the shaded border around an award certificate you create

   using the Awards Wizard displays incorrectly. It prints correctly,

   however. Microsoft has reproduced this problem using version 2.0 of

   the video driver supplied with the ATI Ultra video card.

These problems do not occur when you use the standard VGA video driver

supplied with Windows.

The video driver causes these display problems. Contact the manufacturer of

your video card for information about obtaining a new

or updated video driver.

RESOLUTION

==========

If you have the ATI Ultra video card, you can obtain an updated video

driver by contacting ATI Technical Support at (905) 882-2626 or by

connecting to the ATI bulletin board at (905) 764-9404.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

 - Use the standard VGA video driver supplied with Windows instead.

   -or-

 - You can set the Display switch in the WINWORD6.INI file to moderate

   screen display problems that occur with particular screen drivers.

   The following table, which describes the arguments for the Display

   switch, include specific instructions for the ATI Ultra video card.

Syntax

------

   [Microsoft Word]

   DISPLAY=<0-3>

Argument   Description

--------   -----------

0 (zero)   Overrides Word's autodetection of appropriate redraw

           behavior for some screen drivers. Word automatically adopts

           special redraw behavior for some screen drivers. This

           setting overrides that behavior. Not normally needed.

1          Eliminates line redraw problems that occur with some screen

           drivers. Use only if "snow" appears when you type. This

           argument turns off the off-screen bitmap display for the

           current line. Use this switch if you have an ATI video

           driver that causes screen corruption, or "snow," when

           you type.

2          Eliminates screen redraw problems that occur with some

           screen drivers. Use only if screen "remnants" appear when

           paragraph line spacing is not single-spaced and the style

           area is displayed. Use this switch for the newer ATI cards

           that cause screen redraw problems when you scroll.

3          Sets both arguments 1 and 2 above.

Cannot Assign or Modify Macro Text Style in Macro Editing Pane

Article ID: Q105218

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

You cannot use formatting commands in a macro pane in Word 6.0. Therefore,

you cannot modify or apply the Macro Text style (or other styles) while in

the macro editing pane.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The macro editing pane always uses the Macro Text style. To modify this

style while in a macro editing pane do the following:

1. Switch to a document window by selecting an open document

   from the  Window menu or by opening a new document by choosing New from

   the File  menu.

2. From the Format menu, choose Style.

3. From the Styles list, choose Macro Text. If the style does not  appear

   in the list, from the List box, select All Styles.

4. Choose the Modify button.

5. Choose the Format button and select the property to be changed.

6. Choose OK after making the desired changes.

The above steps will change the Macro Text style for all macro editing

windows. Any currently open macro windows and any new macro windows

that you open will take on the formats of the Macro Text style. Unlike

other styles, the Macro Text style is global to Word for Windows and

is not template specific. When you change the Macro Text style, the

change is recorded in the NORMAL.DOT file.

Inserting a Table of Figures Reformats Existing Tables

Article ID: Q105220

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Inserting a new table of figures in a document that already contains a

table of figures reformats the pre-existing table with the formatting of

the most recently inserted one. This behavior also affects tables of

equations and other tables that use caption labels.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word uses the "Table of Figures" style to create the look of a table of

figures. This style is redefined depending upon the look you choose from

the Index And Tables dialog box, thus altering all tables of figures in a

document.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

---------------------------

1. Insert two figures with captions in a new document.

2. With the insertion point after the last figure, choose Index And

   Tables from the Insert menu.

3. Accept the defaults and choose OK.

4. From the Insert menu, choose Index and Tables.

5. In the Formats list box, choose a different style and choose OK.

6. A dialog box will ask "Do you want to replace the selected table of

   figures?" Choose No.

7. The original table of figures assumes the characteristics of the new

   one.

Setting Up a Workstation Using Universal Naming Convention

Article ID: Q105221

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

For Word 6.0 for Windows to use the universal naming convention (UNC),

Setup must be launched using UNC. If the workstation is set up using

UNC, the resulting Word icon and .INI entries will reflect UNC paths

and thus will not require the server share to be connected before

running Word.

MORE INFORMATION

================

If workstation Setup is run from a specific drive letter (for example,

the normal procedure of connecting to a server and double-clicking

SETUP.EXE), the icon's command line and .INI entries will reflect that

specific path, including the drive letter. For example, if the server

were on drive Z, the icon's command line would read z:\winword\winword.exe.

For Word to start, the server share must be connected to drive Z.

With UNC setup, the icon command line would be \\apps\winword\winword.exe,

and thus no pre-existing connection is required to start Word.

To Set Up a Workstation to Use UNC

----------------------------------

1. Make sure there is a valid server installation of Word.

2. From the workstation, choose Run from Program Manager's File menu.

3. On the command line, type the UNC path to SETUP.EXE. For example,

      \\server\share\wordsvr\setup.exe

4. Choose Workstation for the installation type and proceed with Setup

   as usual.

Word 6.0 for Windows Does Not Support Undocumented "$"

Article ID: Q105294

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOM

=======

In Word 6.0 for Windows when you run certain macros, you get the

WordBasic error "Unknown Command, Subroutine, or Function."

CAUSE

=====

In Word 2.0 for Windows you could add an undocumented "$" statement to

certain macro commands to activate the corresponding dialog box. Word

6.0 for Windows does not support this syntax. Thus, any macro

containing this statement will generate the "Unknown Command..."

error.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The NetworkTemplateStorage macro provided in the Word 2.0 for Windows

NEWMACRO.DOC is an example of a macro using the undocumented WordBasic

statement, FileNew$. Macros using the undocumented "$" statement will no

longer function correctly in Word 6.0. This omission is by design.

GP Fault Editing Document with Dell S3 Video Driver

Article ID: Q105313

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A general protection (GP) fault error sometimes occurs while you edit

a Word for Windows document when you use the Dell S3 video driver,

which is supplied with some Dell computers, such as the Dell 466/ME.

CAUSE

=====

Microsoft has reproduced this problem using the Dell S3 video driver

version 3.1.3a (S3645K.DRV) in the 800 x 600, 256-color (512-kilobyte

Small Fonts) mode. The problem frequently occurs when Word displays a

line of text that contains a large gap. For example, if you type "a b"

and then apply Justified paragraph alignment formatting, the GP fault

error occurs.

The problem does not occur in Word 6.0 when you use version 3.1.32 or

3.1.4 of the Dell S3 driver. To obtain this updated version of the

video driver, contact Dell Computer Systems at the following phone

numbers:

   Dell Technical Support: (800) 624-9896

   Dell Bulletin Board Service (BBS): (512) 728-8528

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem, use the standard VGA video driver supplied

with Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Dell S3 products included here are manufactured by Dell Computer

Systems, vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty,

implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or

reliability.

"File in Use by Another Program" After OLE Automation Session

Article ID: Q105410

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you run an OLE 2.0 automation session in which you create a

WordBasic object in a client application (such as Microsoft Visual

Basic version 3.0) that accesses Word for Windows as a server, the

following error message may occur in the next session of Word when you

try to save your NORMAL.DOT file:

   This file is in use by another application or user.

   (<path>\NORMAL.DOT)

CAUSE

=====

The Word command line in your Windows REG.DAT file does not include

the /Automation switch. Specifically, in the CLSID key, under the WordBasic

(WordBasic) Class ID key, the LocalServer key value must

include the /Automation switch. If this switch is missing, the OLE 2.0

Automation (OLE Auto) transaction launches a session of Word that is

not completely removed from memory when you close Word. In other

words, it remains in memory as a "ghost" Word session. As a result,

the file handle to the NORMAL.DOT file remains open, and this prevents

you from saving NORMAL.DOT in a later Word session.

The "ghost" Word session does not appear in the Windows Task List. The

only way to close it is to exit and restart Windows.

WORKAROUND

==========

Save your NORMAL.DOT file to a different name such as NORMAL.OLD, then

exit Word. Exit and restart Windows. If necessary, you can rename

NORMAL.OLD to NORMAL.DOT. Then resolve this problem using the steps in

the Resolution section below.

RESOLUTION

==========

Use one of the following methods to add the /Automation switch to

your REG.DAT file.

Method 1: Merge WINWORD6.REG Registration File

----------------------------------------------

Note: The WINWORD6.REG file contains information based on the options

you chose when you originally set up Word. If the location of

WINWORD.EXE or any of the OLE applications supplied with Word has

changed since you first installed Word, the WINWORD6.REG file will not

correctly update your registration information. In this case, you

should use Method 2 below instead.

1. In Windows File Manager, open your Word 6.0 program directory

   (the default is WINWORD6).

2. In the Word 6.0 program directory, select the WINWORD6.REG file.

3. From the File menu, choose Run and then choose OK.

   -or-

   Double-click the WINWORD6.REG file.

4. The following message should appear in a Registration Info Editor

   dialog box:

   Information in <drive and path>\WINWORD6.REG has been

   successfully registered in the registration database.

Method 2: Manually Edit the REG.DAT File

----------------------------------------

Use the following instructions to add the /Automation switch to your

REG.DAT file:

1. In Windows Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu.

2. Type "REGEDIT /v" (without the quotation marks) and then choose OK.

3. From the Search menu, choose Find Key.

4. In the Find What box, type "\CLSID" (without the quotation marks)

   and then choose OK.

5. Under the CLSID key, locate the WordBasic Class ID key, which

   appears as follows:

      \

      |-CLSID

       |-{000209FE-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}=WordBasic

        |-AutoConvertTo <optional key>

        |-LocalServer=<path>WINWORD.EXE

        |-ProgID=WordBasic

   Note: There may be several other Class ID keys above the WordBasic

   Class ID key, so you may need to scroll through several screens

   to find it.

6. Select the LocalServer key.

7. In the Value box, modify the setting so it appears as follows:

      <path>WINWORD.EXE /Automation

8. After you add the /Automation switch to the LocalServer value,

   the WordBasic Class ID key should appear as follows:

      \

      |-CLSID

       |-{000209FE-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}=WordBasic

        |-AutoConvertTo <optional key>

        |-LocalServer=<path>WINWORD.EXE /Automation

        |-ProgID=Word.Basic

MORE INFORMATION

================

By default, the Word Setup program adds the /Automation command line

switch to REG.DAT. If you manually delete this switch, Word does not

restore it the next time you start Word.

OLE Automation: Visual Basic Does Not Support Named Arguments

Article ID: Q105534

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Access for Windows, version 2.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Using a Microsoft Visual Basic application, you cannot call a

WordBasic instruction using named arguments. Instead, you must

identify WordBasic arguments by position using commas as placeholders.

The following example shows the WordBasic syntax as it might appear in

a Word macro. The instruction opens the document as read-only and adds

the name to the MRU (Most Recently Used) list under the File menu.

   FileOpen .Name = "D:\WINWORD6\MYDOC.DOC", .ReadOnly = 1, AddtoMru = 1

To use this instruction in a Visual Basic procedure, you would write:

   WordObj.FileOpen "D:\WINWORD6\MYDOC.DOC", , 1, 1

WordObj is an object variable that refers to WordBasic (the complete

Visual Basic procedure is included below). The extra comma after the

filename is a placeholder for the .ConfirmConversions parameter.

WordBasic parameter syntax:

   FileOpen .Name = text [, .ConfirmConversions = number]

    [, .ReadOnly = number] [, .AddToMru = number] [, .PasswordDoc = text]

    [, .PasswordDot = text] [, .Revert = number]

    [, .WritePasswordDoc = text] [, .WritePasswordDot = text]

If you want to leave out an argument as in the case of

ConfirmConversions, you must indicate the missing argument with a

comma. Trailing commas at the end of an instruction can be omitted. In

the example above, it is not necessary to add additional commas after

the final argument (AddtoMru).

The following Visual Basic procedure opens a Word Document as read

only with the filename appearing on the MRU (Most Recently Used) list

under the File menu.

   Sub Command1_Click ()

   Dim WordObj As Object

   Set WordObj = CreateObject("Word.Basic")

   WordObj.FileOpen "D:\WINWORD6\MYDOC.DOC", , 1, 1

   End Sub

Note: For most WordBasic statements that correspond to dialog boxes,

the positioning of the arguments is documented in the WordBasic Help

topics. However, the WordBasic statements for some dialog box tabs

include arguments that are irrelevant or that have no effect. Since

these arguments are irrelevant, they are not documented in Online

Help. However, the Visual Basic version 3.0 OLE Automation programmer

needs to be aware of these arguments so that he or she can correctly

specify arguments by position.

For a listing of these statements and the correct order of the

arguments, look to the POSITION.TXT text file. This file is included

on the disk included with the Word Developer's Kit (located in the

WRDBASIC directory).

Word for Windows Supports OLE Automation as a Server Only

Article ID: Q105535

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Object linking and embedding (OLE) Automation is a Windows protocol

that allows an application to share data or control another

application. Word for Windows provides other applications with an

object called "Basic". Using this object, other applications can send

WordBasic instructions to Word for Windows.

Applications that support OLE Automation, such as a Visual Basic 3.0

application or Excel 5.0, can use OLE Automation with Word, but Word cannot

use OLE Automation to access other applications. Using DDE terms, this

means that Word can act as a server for another application but cannot act

as the client.

Visual Basic 3.0 Example

========================

To control Word for Windows from a Visual Basic application, you need

to first declare a variable of type Object. For example:

   Dim WordObj As Object

Next, you need to create the "Basic" object and assign it to the object

variable. For example:

   Set WordObj =CreateObject("Word.Basic")

The above statement makes the "Basic" object in Word available to

Visual Basic for OLE Automation. If Word for Windows is not running,

OLE Automation will attempt to start the application using the

information found in the Windows registration file (REG.DAT).

The following Visual Basic example opens a new Word document, changes

the formatting at the insertion point to Arial 22 pt bold and inserts

the text "Hello World":

   Sub Command1_Click ()

   Dim WordObj As Object

   Set WordObj = CreateObject("Word.Basic")

   WordObj.filenew

   WordObj.FormatFont 22, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , "Arial", 1

   WordObj.Insert "Hello World"

   End Sub

The following Excel 5.0 example, opens a new Word document, changes

the formatting at the insertion point to Arial, 22 pt, bold and

inserts the text "Hello World".

Sub Main()

 Dim WordObj As Object

 Set WordObj = CreateObject("Word.Basic")

 WordObj.FileNew

 WordObj.FormatFont Font:="Arial", Points:=22, Bold:=1

 WordObj.Insert "Hello World"

End Sub

How to Determine the Number of Days in a Specified Month

Article ID: Q105536

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

To determine the number of days in a specified month, use the

following Microsoft WordBasic Select Case structure.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Sub Main

datev = DateValue(InputBox$("Enter a date in the mm/dd/yy format"))

mon = Month(datev)

Select Case mon

Case 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12

 MsgBox "31 days"

Case 4, 6, 9, 11

 MsgBox "30 days"

Case 2

 mon = Month(datev)

If Year(datev) Mod 4 = 0 Then MsgBox "29 days" Else MsgBox "28 days"

End Select

End Sub

The above macro prompts for a date in the mm/dd/yy format and returns

the number of days in the specified month. The Month function is used

to determine the month number for the specified date. Then depending

on the month number (1-12), a message box posts the number of days in

the month.

The macro takes leap years into consideration when computing the

number of days in the month of February.

   If Year(datev) Mod 4 = 0 Then

The year is divided by 4 and if the remainder is 0, the number of days

in the month is 29 days.

How to Determine the Number of Days Between Two Dates

Article ID: Q105537

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

To determine the number of days between two dates, you can convert

dates to serial numbers and subtract one number from the other. The

WordBasic DateValue() function converts a specified date, beginning

with December 30, 1899, to a serial number.

For example:

Syntax: DateValue(DateText$)

x = DateValue("12/30/1899")  ' returns 0 or zero

x = DateValue("12/31/1899")  ' returns 1

x = DateValue("12/5/1992")   ' returns 33943

The following macro prompts for a date in the mm/dd/yy format and

returns the number of days between the current date, Today(), and the

specified date:

   numdays = serialenddate - Today()

The Sgn() function is used to determine if the difference between

serialdate and Today() is a negative or positive number. If the value

is a positive number the following message is posted:

   The number of days between today and mm/dd/yy is XX.

If the difference is a negative number the following message is

posted.

   The date mm/dd/yy was XX days ago.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT

YOUR OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without

warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not

limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness

for a particular purpose.

Sub MAIN

On Error Resume Next

otherdate$ = InputBox$("Enter a date in the mm/dd/yy format")

serialdate = DateValue(otherdate$)

numdays = serialdate - Today()

If Sgn(numdays) = 1 Then

MsgBox "The number of days between today and " + otherdate$ + \

 " is" + Str$(numdays) + "."

Else

MsgBox "The date " + enddate$ + " was" + Str$(Abs(numdays)) \

 + " days ago."

How to Calculate the Number of Months Between Two Given Dates

Article ID: Q105538

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.00

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

To calculate the number of months between any two dates, use the

following WordBasic macro where "Edate" equals an earlier date and

"Ldate" a later date.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT

YOUR OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without

warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not

limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness

for a particular purpose.

Sub MAIN

edate = DateValue("1/23/93")

ldate = DateValue("11/2/93")

nummonths = (Year(LDate) - Year(EDate)) * 12 + Month(LDate) \

 - Month(EDate)

MsgBox Str$(nummonths) + " months"

End Sub

The above macro does not take days into consideration. For example,

given a start date of 10/31/93 and an end date of 11/2/93, one month

will be returned. This function can be useful in determining the

number of months that have passed since a particular starting date.

For example, the following macro returns the number of months from

11/2/89 to the current date:

Sub MAIN

edate = DateValue("11/2/89")

nummonths = (Year(Today()) - Year(EDate)) * 12 + Month(Today()) \

  - Month(EDate)

MsgBox Str$(nummonths) + " months"

Drawing Objects or Pleading Wizard Lines Do Not Display

Article ID: Q105545

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A Microsoft Word 6.0 Picture drawing object, created or modified using the

Word for Windows drawing tools, may not display on the screen, even if you

are in page layout view and the Show Drawings option is selected. (To

locate this option, choose Options from the Tools menu, and select the View

tab.)

This symptom can also occur with the line numbers and attorney information

in a document created with the Pleading Wizard.

CAUSE

=====

Word does not display drawing objects if the Drawing Objects option is

cleared. (To locate this option, choose Options from the Tools menu, and

select the Print tab.) This happens because Word displays your document the

way it will print, given the current printing options settings. If the

Drawing Objects option is not selected, your drawing objects will not

print, so Word does not display them. A blank space appears in your

document in place of the drawing object.

This affects any objects you create using the tools on the Drawing toolbar,

clip art that you modify with the drawing tools, and any other objects that

you edit with the drawing tools.

This affects the Pleading Wizard because the line numbers and attorney

information included by the wizard are drawing objects and not paragraph

number formatting.

RESOLUTION

==========

If you want to view drawing objects in your Word document, turn on the

Drawing Objects option using the following instructions:

1. From the View menu, choose Page Layout.

2. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

3. Select the Print tab.

4. Under Include With Document, select Drawing Objects and then choose OK.

5. Update your nondisplaying drawing objects. After you update them, they

   display correctly in Word.

   Note: To update your drawing object, double-click it to open it for

   editing. Add and then delete a line (or other drawing object), then

   choose the Close Picture button on the Pictures toolbar.

Border or Shading Formatting Affects Multiple Paragraphs

Article ID: Q105546

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Case 1

------

If you apply shading or border formatting to a single paragraph within a

group of several consecutively bordered or shaded paragraphs, Word for

Windows may apply the shading or border formatting to the entire group of

consecutively bordered or shaded paragraphs.

Do the following to demonstrate this behavior:

1. Create a new Word document.

2. Press ENTER five times to insert five paragraph marks.

3. Select the five paragraphs.

4. If the Borders toolbar is not displayed, choose the Borders button

   on the Formatting toolbar to display it.

5. Choose the Outside Border button on the Borders toolbar.

6. Position the insertion point in one of the five paragraphs

   (nothing should be selected).

7. From the Shading list on the Borders toolbar, select a shading

   pattern such as 40%. Notice that Word applies the shading to all

   five paragraphs.

Case 2

------

Word behaves similarly when you remove border formatting or shading. If you

remove border or shading formatting from one paragraph, Word may remove it

from all the consecutively bordered or shaded paragraphs.

CAUSE

=====

When you position the insertion point in consecutively bordered or shaded

paragraphs but do not select anything, Word applies additional shading or

border formatting to the entire group of paragraphs. Word also removes

shading or border formatting from the entire group of paragraphs. By

contrast, if you select some text in the group of bordered or shaded

paragraphs, Word applies or removes the border or shading formatting only

in the selected paragraphs.

STATUS

======

This is a design feature of Word. After you apply shading or border

formatting to consecutive paragraphs, you can apply or remove additional

shading or border formatting to all the paragraphs in the group by simply

positioning the insertion point somewhere in the group of paragraphs.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you want to apply or remove shading or border formatting in a single

paragraph within a group of shaded or bordered paragraphs, select the

paragraph or some text within the paragraph.

Text in Return Address Is Superimposed or Deleted by Graphic

Article ID: Q105547

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A graphic saved as the EnvelopeExtra1 AutoText entry may overwrite the

return address.

CAUSE

=====

The address frame is set with an exact vertical size. When you use the

EnvelopeExtra1 AutoText entry to insert a graphic, the entry causes

repositioning of the return address text if the graphic is too large. This

causes the text to disappear or be repositioned so that it is not visible.

The large graphic pushes the line spacing down in the address frame.

Because the address frame is formatted with an exact vertical size, Word

must crop the return address.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use a smaller graphic so Word does not reposition the return address.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

--------------------------

1. Insert a picture and define it as an AutoText entry named

   EnvelopeExtra1.

2. From the Tools menu, choose Envelopes And Labels.

3. Choose the Envelopes tab and type an address for the envelope.

4. Choose the Options button and change any part of the Return Address

   From Left or From Top setting.

5. Choose OK.

6. Choose the Add To Document button.

MacroDesc$() and CountMacros() Exclude Some Commands

Article ID: Q105548

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

If you run MacroDesc$() and CountMacros() for the following Word commands,

a WordBasic error occurs and the functions return no value:

   Columns

   Condensed

   Expanded

   FontSize (see Notes section below for additional information)

   Lowered

   Raised

   FileOpenFile

   Shading

   Borders

   Color

   Symbol

These Word for Windows commands do not appear in the Macro Name list, even

if you select All Word Commands from the Macros Available In list.

CAUSE

=====

Word does not display these commands because they are not allocated

commands, which means they require a parameter that you cannot supply

through a Word dialog box.

By contrast, in Word 2.x the CountMacros() and MacroDesk$() functions

return values for the above WordBasic commands.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following macro will demonstrate this behavior in Word 6.0:

WordBasic Error with Array Dimensioned for 0 (Zero) Elements

Article ID: Q105549

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you dimension an array with no elements using a statement such as

Dim Array$(-1), a WordBasic error occurs when you run the macro. This

problem did not occur in Word version 2.x for Windows.

As a result, if your macro dimensions an array based on a count, the

macro fails if the count is 0 (zero). For example, the following macro

will fail if the last FileFind statement finds no matches:

   Dim Array$(CountFoundFiles() - 1)

This also means you cannot display an empty list box in a dialog box;

it must always contain one empty element.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

You must rewrite your macro so it contains no arrays with 0 elements.

For example, use the following statement to dimension an array that

contains an extra element:

   (Dim a$(countfoundfiles()))

When you write a new macro, check to be sure your array will not

contain 0 elements.

MORE INFORMATION

================

An array in WordBasic has as many elements as its last index plus 1,

which means that an array dimmed as 0 actually has one element.

Therefore, Dim Array$(-1) dimensions an array with no elements.

Error Message: "The Subdocument Is Missing..."

Article ID: Q105550

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you open a master document and Word for Windows cannot find the

subdocument, the following error message occurs:

   The subdocument <filename> is missing. Do you want to open

   the master document without the subdocument?

If you choose No, Word cancels the operation and does not open the

master document. If you choose Yes, Word opens the master document

without the missing subdocument. You can then use the Insert

Subdocument button on the Master Document toolbar to locate and

reinsert the missing subdocument.

CAUSE

=====

Word cannot find a subdocument if you move it to a different location

relative to the master document, if the subdocument is located on a

network drive that is no longer valid, or if you deleted the

subdocument file.

STATUS

======

This feature, which is by design, makes it easy for you to move an entire

master document directory tree while preserving the subdocument references.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When you open a master document, Word searches for the subdocument

relative to the master document. In other words, if the subdocuments

are in a subdirectory of the master document directory, Word looks

for the subdocuments in the same subdirectory of the new master

document location. The following table illustrates this search

pattern:

                  Old Location                New Location

                  ------------                ------------

Master Document   C:\WORD6\MASTER             F:\CATALOG\1993

SubDocuments      C:\WORD6\MASTER\SUBDOCS     F:\CATALOG\1993\SUBDOCS

                                              -then-

                                              C:\WORD6\MASTER\SUBDOCS

If Word cannot find the subdocuments in the relative location, it searches

in the original subdocument location (in this case,

C:\WORD6\MASTER\SUBDOCS). If Word still cannot find the subdocument, the

"The subdocument is missing..." error message occurs.

RESOLUTION

==========

If you want to move subdocuments to a new location relative to the

master document, refer to the instructions in the "Renaming or

removing a subdocument" topic in online Help, or see Chapter 24,

"Using Master Documents to Manage Long Documents," in the "Microsoft

Word User's Guide."

Go To \Page Bookmark Selects Whole Document

Article ID: Q105567

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you choose Go To from the Edit menu and type "\Page" (without the

quotation marks) in the Enter Page Number box, sometimes Word for

Windows selects the entire document instead of the current page.

This can also happen when you run a macro that uses the "\Page"

reserved bookmark as the .Destination argument for the EditGoTo

command, as shown in the following sample:

   EditGoTo .Destination = "\page"

CAUSE

=====

Word has not yet paginated your document, or the Background Pagination

option is not turned on.

Word repaginates your document before inserting page breaks. Until

Word repaginates the document, it treats the document as a single

page. If a new document has not been repaginated, the entire document

looks like one page to Word, so the \Page bookmark selects the entire

document. After repagination, Word inserts page breaks, so the \Page

bookmark correctly selects only the current page.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

 - If background repagination is turned off, switch to page layout view,

   which forces Word to repaginate your document, then use the Go To

   command.

   -or-

 - Turn on the Background Pagination option, as follows:

   1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

   2. Select the General tab.

   3. Select the Background Repagination option and then choose OK.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The \Page bookmark is a reserved, predefined bookmark in Word that

returns the contents of the current page. When you use the Go To

command on the Edit menu and type "\Page" in the Enter Page Number

box, Word selects only the current page.

For more information on predefined bookmarks in Word, search for

"bookmarks" (without the quotation marks) using the Help menu and then

select the "Predefined bookmarks" topic.

Left Indent Changes When Applying Hanging Indent

Article ID: Q105572

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Selected paragraphs with different left indents change to the left

indentation setting of the first paragraph when you apply hanging

indent formatting to the selected paragraphs in Word for Windows.

CAUSE

=====

When Word applies hanging indent formatting, both the Left and First

Line indentation settings change. When a selection contains more than

one paragraph, Word changes all Left indentation settings to match the

first paragraph in the selection.

WORKAROUND

==========

Apply the hanging indent formatting to all the paragraphs first, then

change the left indentation settings individually.

Enhancements to the Proofing Tools in Word for Windows 6.0

Article ID: Q105573

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The following enhancements were made to the spelling and grammar

checking functions in Microsoft Word 6.0 for Windows.

Spelling Enhancements

=====================

Ignore All

----------

Word 2.0 for Windows retains the Ignore All list only during the

current proofing session. Throughout the current session of Word 6.0

for Windows, Word keeps a running log of the words you choose to be

ignored during a spell check. If you choose the Ignore All button for

a specific word in the Spelling dialog, Word remembers to ignore the

word until you exit Word for Windows. To reset the Ignore All without

exiting Word, do the following:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2. Select the Spelling tab.

3. Choose the Reset Ignore All button.

4. Choose OK.

Dictionary Suggestions from Custom Dictionaries

-----------------------------------------------

Word 2.0 for Windows cannot make word suggestions based on the

contents of a custom dictionary. A new switch was added to the Common

Speller API in Word version 2.0c , but an interface was not available

to change the switch from defaulting to the main dictionary.

Word 6.0 for Windows now has an interface for this feature. By

default, Word 6.0 will suggest words from the main dictionary only.

You can, however, turn off this option by clearing the "From Main

Dictionary Only" check box in the Spelling section of the Tools

Options dialog.

Grammar Checking Enhancements

=============================

Editable Grammar Checker Sentence Box

-------------------------------------

The text in the Sentence edit box is completely editable in Word 6.0

for Windows. This improvement allows you to edit the sentence without

switching the focus from the Grammar dialog (choose Grammar from the

Tools menu to access this dialog). In previous versions of Word for

Windows, you can make corrections by switching the focus from the

Grammar dialog to the document text and then restart the grammar

checker. However, Word for Windows registers this change as being two

separate grammar checking sessions. As a result, the readability

statistics are not correct.

ToolsGrammarStatisisticsArray

-----------------------------

The ToolsGrammarStatisisticsArray function is new in Word 6.0 for

Windows ToolsGrammarStatisisticsArray performs a grammar check, and

then fills a two-dimensional array with the available grammar

statistics for the active document. This function allows you retrieve

document statistics without having to run the full, interactive

grammar session.

The following macro example defines a two-dimensional array for

storing grammar statistics, fills the array with grammar statistics

for the active document, and then inserts a two-column list of

statistics at the end of the document (the statistic list is included

below):

Cannot Convert Word Version 1.x for Windows Macros in Word 6.0

Article ID: Q105574

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you open a Word version 1.x for Windows template in Word version

6.0 for Windows, the following error message may occur:

   Word is opening a Word version 1.x for Windows template.

   Macros from Word 1.x for Windows cannot be converted and

   will be lost if this file is saved in Word 6.0 for Windows format.

If you choose OK and then save the file in Word 6.0 file format, your

Word 1.x macros are lost.

CAUSE

=====

This happens because Word 6.0 does not support Word 1.x macros.

WORKAROUND

==========

To convert the Word 1.x macros for use in Word 6.0, do the following:

1. Open and save the Word version 1.x for Windows file in Word version

   2.0 for Windows. The macros will be saved in version 2.0 format.

2. Open the file in Word version 6.0 for Windows. The macros will be

   converted to Word version 6.0 for Windows format.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Although Word 6.0 does not convert Word 1.x macros, it does convert

all styles and glossaries in your Word 1.x templates (glossaries

change to autotext entries in Word 6.0).

Position of Bar Codes Is Certified by U.S. Postal Service

Article ID: Q105576

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Bar code sorters (BCSs) are used by the U.S. Postal Service to quickly

process and sort mail. Correctly preparing envelopes with POSTNET

(POSTal Numeric Encoding Technique) bar codes is crucial for sorting

mail on the U.S. Postal Service's automated equipment. The Postal

Service offers two types of bar code certification:

1. Lower right corner

2. Address block certification

Word 6.0 for Windows is officially "POSTNET Bar Code Certified" for address

block bar codes. The bar code appear above the recipient's address on the

envelope. For example:

=====================================================================

|Blue Sky Airlines                                                  |

|                                 1234 Main ST                      |

|                                 Seattle WA  55523                 |

|                                                                   |

=====================================================================

To print postal codes on an envelope, do the following:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Envelopes And Labels.

2. Choose the Options button.

3. Select the "Delivery Point Bar Code" and "FIM-A Courtesy Reply

   Mail" check boxes. The FIM (Facing Identification Mark) identifies

   the front side of the envelope.

4. Choose the OK button and then choose the Print button.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Position of Bar Code on the Envelope

------------------------------------

Word positions the bar code above the recipient's address. This is one of

two acceptable locations, according to the U.S. Postal Service on page 21

of its publication, "United States Postal Service Designing Flat Mail:"

   The POSTNET barcode, applied by postal customers, may be printed just

   about anywhere on the address side of the mailpiece that is at least

   1/8 inch from any edge.

   The preferred location is in the upper portion of the address, above

   the recipient's name. The barcode may also be printed below the city,

   state, and ZIP Code line of the address.

   The POSTNET barcode should not be applied between the name of the

   recipient and the city, state, and ZIP Code line of the address."

OLE Automation: Specifying a Command Button from Visual Basic

Article ID: Q105581

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Using a Microsoft Visual Basic application, it is possible to run a

WordBasic instruction with command button parameters. Boolean "true"

and "false" values are used to specify command buttons.

For example:

   ToolsMacro .Name = "MacroName", .Run

To use this instruction in a Visual Basic procedure, you would write:

   WordObj.ToolsMacro "MacroName", True

The "True" value is the Visual Basic equivalent to choosing/specifying

the Run command button. You can use the "False" value or omit a

command button argument to not choose a command button. When calling

WordBasic instructions from Visual Basic you must identify WordBasic

arguments by position using commas as placeholders.

The following Visual Basic procedure opens the Test macro for

editing (the equivalent of ToolsMacro .Name = "Test", .Edit).

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT

YOUR OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without

warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not

limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness

for a particular purpose.

Sub Command1_Click ()

Dim WordObj As Object

Set WordObj = CreateObject("Word.Basic")

WordObj.ToolsMacro "Test", , True

End Sub

If you remove the comma before True, the instruction will run the Test

macro. For example:

   WordObj.ToolsMacro "Test", True

Error Message: "Margins Are Set Outside the Printable Area"

Article ID: Q105592

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If the PostScript printer driver (PSCRIPT.DRV) is active without a WPD

(Windows printer description) file installed, the following error

message occurs when you change the page orientation to landscape in

your Word for Windows document:

   One or more margins are set outside the printable area of the page.

   Choose the Fix button to increase the appropriate margin.

If you choose the Fix button, Word incorrectly sets the left margin to

2.75 inches, or to some other arbitrarily chosen value.

CAUSE

=====

This error message occurs when you are using a non-printer-specific

Postscript driver (PSCRIPT.DRV), without an associated WPD file. When

you use this configuration, PostScript Printer is selected in the

Printers list in the Print Setup dialog box.

RESOLUTION

==========

To correct the problem do the following:

Using the Printer icon in Windows Control Panel, install a printer-specific

PostScript printer driver such as the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet IIIsi

Postscript driver. When you install a printer-specific PostScript driver,

Windows places a WPD file (supplied with Windows or by your printer

manufacturer) in the <WINDOWS>\SYSTEM subdirectory (where <WINDOWS> is the

name of your Windows directory).

WORKAROUND

==========

Use the following instructions to correct the incorrect margin setting

that occurs if you choose the Fix button in the error message dialog

box:

1. From the File menu, choose Page Setup.

2. Select the Margin tab.

3. Select the correct margin settings and then choose OK.

Printing Large TrueType Font Size Produces Blank Page

Article ID: Q105603

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print large font sizes (near 630 points) to a Hewlett-Packard

(HP) LaserJet Series III, IIIsi, IIIP, IIID, or LaserJet 4 printer, a

blank piece of paper prints instead of the large character.

When you print on the HP LaserJet 4 printer, a "Memory Overflow" error

occurs on the printer.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the HP printer

drivers for these printers (HPPCL5A.DRV and HPPCL5E.DRV). We are

researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

 - If you format the font for a smaller point size, the document prints

   correctly.

   -or-

 - Print the document on a PostScript, dot-matrix, or HP DeskJet Family

   printer. These printers print the large font sizes correctly.

   -or-

 - Select the "Print TrueType as Graphics" option in the Print Setup

   Options dialog box for the printer driver. To open this dialog box,

   do the following:

   1. In Windows Control Panel, choose the Printers icon.

   2. In the Printers dialog box, select your HP III Series or HP 4

      printer and then choose the Setup button.

   3. Choose the Options button.

   4. Select the "Print TrueType as Graphics" option and then choose OK.

   5. Choose OK in the Printer Setup dialog box, and then choose Close

      in the Printers dialog box.

   6. Switch to Word and print your document. The large font sizes

      should now print correctly.

Note: The drawback to this workaround is that the "Print TrueType as

Graphics" option slows down your printing speed. You may want to clear

this option when you are not printing large font sizes.

Having More Than One Multilevel Numbered List Per Document

Article ID: Q105604

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Word 6.0, different multilevel numbering schemes can be used in one

document. To restart the numbering from a certain number, there must be an

unnumbered paragraph before the group of paragraphs you want to renumber.

To have two groups of paragraphs with different numbering formats, a

section break must be inserted between the two groups. To choose a

numbering scheme select the Format menu, choose Bullets and Numbering and

select the Numbered tab.

If a series of paragraphs are formatted with multilevel numbering, each

paragraph will be numbered sequentially. There is no way to restart

the numbering without inserting an unnumbered paragraph between the

two groups of paragraphs that you want numbered separately. For

example:

   1. Para1

   Para2      (this line is not numbered)

   1. Para3

   1. Para1

   2. Para2

   3. Para3

Note: The paragraph mark used to separate the groups of paragraphs can

be formatted as hidden (Format Font) so that it will not create a

blank line. The paragraph mark used to separate the groups of paragraphs

cannont be formatted as a bulleted paragraph, or renumbering will include

the paragraph.

To use different numbering formats in the same document, insert a

section break between the two groups of numbered paragraphs:

1. From the Insert menu, choose Break.

2. Select Continuous to start a different numbering format on the same

   page as the previous format. (Or, to start a different numbering

   format on a new page, select Next Page.)

Changing the format of the multilevel numbering will change the format

for the entire section.

As with all section-level formatting, deleting the section break will

cause the previous section to take on the formatting of the following

section.

Existing Macros and AutoText Are Not Saved with New Form

Article ID: Q105638

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Macros and AutoText entries that you move from a startup or global

template to a new location are not available to a form template.

CAUSE

=====

Macros and AutoText that have been saved in other templates are not

copied to the form template when they are used by a form field. As a

result, the macros and AutoText will not be available to the form

template if you move the form from the location of the templates

containing the macros or auto text entries.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word 6.0 for Windows makes macros and AutoText from multiple templates

available globally when you place templates in the location designated

by the Startup option. (To locate the Startup option, choose Options

from the Tools menu, select the File Locations tab, and find Startup

in the File Types list.)

When you develop a template with form fields, you can select macros

and AutoText from these other templates for the form field enter-and-

exit automation. However, the macros and AutoText that you select will

not be stored with your form template.

If you want the form template to be portable, you should store all

macros and AutoText with the form template. You can copy AutoText and

macros between templates by choosing Templates from the File menu and

selecting Organizer.

Table Formula SUM(Above) Adds Number from Heading Row

Article ID: Q105639

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If the row marked as Headings has a cell that contains a number with

no other text characters, the formula SUM(Above) will incorrectly

include the value from the heading row cell into the calculation. This

will happen only on the first page of the table.

CAUSE

=====

The formula SUM(Above) includes the set of contiguous cells that

contain numeric values in the column above the formula. For the first

page of a table, the first row marked as Heading is included in the

formula results if no text character is included in the cell.

When Word 6.0 for Windows searches for the contiguous cells, it starts

at the formula cell and works up until it finds the first cell

containing a number. It stops when it encounters the first blank cell

or cell containing a number and text characters above the last cell

that contains a number only.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following are some examples where the formula results are

incorrect and others where the results are correct.

Sample Table with Formulas

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   |      1      |     Two     |    No. 3    |      4      |

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   |      2      |      2      |      2      |             |

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   |{=SUM(Above)}|{=SUM(Above)}|{=SUM(Above)}|{=SUM(Above)}|

   ---------------------------------------------------------

Sample Table with Results

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   |      1      |     Two     |    No. 3    |      4      |

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   |      2      |      2      |      2      |             |

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   |      3      |      3      |  row  3     |      3      |

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   |      6      |      5      |      5      |      3      |

   ---------------------------------------------------------

Row 1 of the Sample Table was marked as Headings (select the row and

choose Headings from the Table menu).

Row4 Column1 - The result of the formula includes the numeric value of

               the heading for that column.

Row4 Column2 - The result of the formula includes the set of

               contiguous cells that contain numeric values.

Row4 Column3 - The result of the formula does not include the heading

               for that column because it also contains text

               characters. But the value of Row3 Column3 is included

               in the results because there is a numeric value in that

               cell. Cells contains numeric values along with text

               with only be included with the formula results if they

               are encountered before the first cell containing only

               numbers (remembering Word calculates from the formula

               upwards).

Row4 Column4 - The result of the formula does not include the heading

               for that column because there is a blank cell above the

               last cell containing only numbers.

The behavior described above for columns also applies to summing rows using

Table/Formula. The Formula will read SUM(Left) if placed in a row with

cells containing numbers to the left of the target cell - and NO numbers

above the target cell in the same column.

If there are numbers in the column above the target cell, as well as to the

left, the default formula in the dialog box will read SUM(Above). This may

be edited to read SUM(Left) to sum the row instead. Note that if there is a

cell above the target cell that contains only text, below other cells

containing numbers, SUM(Left) will be offered as the default.

The formulas SUM(Below) and SUM(Right) are also valid in the appropriate

cell context, but will never be offered as a default. If there are no cells

containing numbers to the left or above the target cell the default offered

will be only '='. The desired SUM formula may be added to the dialog box

field.

WordBasic SetAttr Statement Adds Files Attributes

Article ID: Q105682

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The Microsoft SetAttr statement sets file attributes for a specified

file. Attributes that are set with the SetAttr statement are additive

and do not remove previous attributes for the file.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The arguments for the SetAttr statement correspond to the file

attributes you can set using the Properties command (File menu) in

File Manager.

Syntax:

   SetAttr Filename$, Attribute

Attributes:

   0(zero)  Clears all attributes

   1        Read only

   2        Hidden

   4        System

   32       Archive

For Example:

The following macro example clears the current file attributes for

MYDOC.DOC and then adds the read-only file attribute.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Word for Windows

----------------

Sub MAIN

SetAttr "D:\WINWORD6\MYDOC.DOC", 0  'clear all file attributes

SetAttr "D:\WINWORD6\MYDOC.DOC", 1  'adds the read-only attribute

End Sub

Word for the Macintosh

----------------------

Sub MAIN

SetAttr "Macintosh HD:MACWORD6:MYDOC.DOC", 0  'clear all file attributes

SetAttr "Macintosh HD:MACWORD6:MYDOC.DOC", 1  'adds the read-only attribute

End Sub

If a file has attributes of hidden and system (value of 6, sum of 2

and 4) and you don't first clear the file attributes, the following

statement will set the attributes to hidden, system, and read-only

(value 7, sum of 2, 4, and 1).

   SetAttr "D:\WINWORD6\MYDOC.DOC", 1  'adds the read-only attribute

NOTE: This does not apply to Word for the Macintosh. New file attributes

set for a Word for the Macintosh file do not have to be cleared before new

attributes are applied. The new attributes override those previously set.

Use the GetAttr() function to determine the current file attributes

for a file.

   n = GetAttr "D:\WINWORD6\MYDOC.DOC"

The file attribute value is stored in the variable "n".

Note: In the above example, the MsgBox command statement is optional. It

allows for the display of the value returned.

OLE Automation: Using Functions That Return Strings

Article ID: Q105683

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When you use Microsoft WordBasic functions in Visual Basic, keywords

that return strings--that is, keywords that end in a dollar sign ($)--

must be enclosed in square brackets or an error message will occur.

Example 1

---------

The following WordBasic instruction returns the current date:

   a$ = Date$()

In Visual Basic, the same instruction is specified as follows:

   worddate = WordObj.[Date$]()

The following Visual Basic example uses Word's Date$() function to

post the current date in a message box:

Dim WordObj As Object

Dim worddate As String

Set WordObj = CreateObject("Word.Basic")

worddate = WordObj.[Date$]()

MsgBox worddate

If you omit the square brackets that surround "Date$", Visual Basic

will post the following error message:

   Identifier can't end with type-declaration character

Example 2

---------

The following WordBasic instruction shows the GetBookmark$() function

as it might appear in a WordBasic macro:

   mark$ = GetBookmark$("Address")

In Visual Basic, the same instruction would be specified as follows:

   mark$ = WordObj.[GetBookmark$]("Address")

The following Visual Basic procedure opens the Word document TEST.DOC,

and then uses the WordBasic GetBookmark$() function to return the

text of the "Address" bookmark in a message box:

Sub Command1_Click ()

Dim WordObj As Object

Dim Mark As String

Set WordObj = CreateObject("Word.Basic")

WordObj.FileOpen "D:\WinWord6\Test.doc"

Mark = WordObj.[GetBookmark$]("Address")

MsgBox Mark

OLE Automation: Retrieving Word's Dialog Box Settings

Article ID: Q105684

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Using OLE Automation, you can retrieve settings from Word's dialog

boxes. In the client application, you need to create an object

variable to hold the dialog settings and then place the settings into

the variable.

For example:

   Dim OptionsVar As Object                      'defines object variable

   Set OptionsVar = WordObj.CurValues.ToolsOptionsView

The second instruction fills the object variable (OptionsVar) with the

settings from the Tools Options View dialog. CurValues is the method

used to return the current dialog box settings. Once the dialog box

settings are stored in the object variable, you can access the

individual settings using the following syntax:

   DialogObjectVar.DialogBoxSettingName

The following Visual Basic procedure determines the current setting of

ShowAll in the ToolsOptionsView dialog, and toggles the setting:

Sub Command1_Click ()

Dim WordObj As Object

Dim OptionsVar As Object

Set WordObj = CreateObject("Word.Basic")

Set OptionsVar = WordObj.CurValues.ToolsOptionsView

If OptionsVar.ShowAll = 1 Then

 WordObj.ToolsOptionsView ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 0

Else

 WordObj.ToolsOptionsView ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 1

End If

End Sub

Note: Visual Basic version 3.0 does not support named parameters, so

you must identify WordBasic arguments by position using commas as

placeholders.

The above Visual Basic procedure has the same functionality as the

following WordBasic macro:

Sub MAIN

Dim dlg As ToolsOptionsView

GetCurValues dlg

If dlg.ShowAll = 1 Then

 dlg.ShowAll = 0

Else

 dlg.ShowAll = 1

End If

ToolsOptionsView dlg

End Sub

Help Errors: "Routine Not found" and "Cannot Display Resource"

Article ID: Q105685

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you start online Help in Word for Windows, one of the following error

messages may occur:

   Routine not found.

   This resource cannot be displayed.

CAUSE

=====

These messages occur if Word cannot find the WORDRES.DLL file in the Word

program directory on the local hard disk or on the server. This happens if

either of the following is true:

 - The following section is missing or invalid in your WIN.INI file:

      [MS Shareres]

      Path=c:\winword

 - The WORDRES.DLL file is not located in the directory listed by the

   Path setting in the [MS Shareres] section of your WIN.INI file. If

   the file exists in that location, it may be damaged or corrupt.

 - The SHARERES.DLL file is missing or invalid in the <WINDOWS>\SYSTEM

   subdirectory.

RESOLUTION

==========

Make sure your WIN.INI file contains a valid [MS Shareres] setting, and

that a valid copy of the WORDRES.DLL file is located in that directory.

Similarly, make sure a valid copy of the SHARERES.DLL file is located in

the <WINDOWS>\SYSTEM subdirectory.

See the "More Information" section below for information about the files

and settings Word's online Help uses. See pages 11-12 in the "Microsoft

Word Quick Results" guide for instructions on manually decompressing a new

copy of any Word files.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word Setup installs the following Help-related files:

   WINWORD.HLP

   WRDBASIC.HLP

   README.HLP

   WORDPSS.HLP

   WPHELP.HLP

   ACMESETUP.HLP

   SHARERES.DLL

   WORDRES.DLL

   WORDHELP.DLL

Setup places the files with an .HLP file extension in the Word for Windows

program directory. Setup places the WORDRES.DLL and WORDHELP.DLL files in

the Word program directory as well.

Setup installs SHARERES.DLL in the <WINDOWS>\SYSTEM subdirectory, where it

is used by other programs in addition to Word.

In addition, each OLE application that is included with Word 6.0 has a

corresponding help file, which by default is installed in that

application's subdirectory. For example, the Equation Editor has an

associated help file named EQNEDIT.HLP which installs in the

<WINDOWS>\MSAPPS\EQUATION subdirectory.

Word for Windows Help information is written to the following .INI files:

WIN.INI

-------

A line in the [MS Shareres] section points to the WORDRES.DLL file. Pathing

information must be written in the WIN.INI file because the SHARERES.DLL

cannot search the MS-DOS path. The following error may occur if the path is

not included in the WIN.INI file:

   This resource cannot be displayed

The line should include the path, but not the filename, as in the following

example:

   [MS Shareres]

   Path=c:\winword

If more than one directory contains help-related resource files, the

various directory paths must be separated by a comma, as shown below:

   [MS Shareres]

   Path=c:\winword,c:\excel

WINWORD6.INI

------------

An entry for each Help file should be included under the [Help] section.

   [Help]

   winword.hlp=c:\winword6\winword.hlp

   wrdbasic.hlp=c:\winword6\wrdbasic.hlp

   wordpss.hlp=c:\winword6\wordpss.hlp

   readme.hlp=c:\winword6\wdreadme.hlp

WINHELP.INI

-----------

The WINHELP.INI file should contain pointers to the WORDHELP.DLL file and

the WORDCBT.DLL file under the [Files] section. The entries should include

the MS-DOS path but not the filename, as in the following example:

   [Files]

   wordhelp.dll=c:\winword6

   wordcbt.dll=c:\winword6

If these lines are not present in the WINHELP.INI file, one the following

errors may be returned:

   Routine Not Found

   Cannot Display this Resource

"Disk Is Full..." Saving File Under Windows for Workgroups

Article ID: Q105689

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you save a document in Word for Windows, the following error

message may occur if you run Word under Windows for Workgroups in

standard mode:

   The disk is full or too many files are open.

   (C:\WINWORD6\DOC1.DOC)

A similar error message may occur when Word performs an autosave operation:

   The disk is full or too many files are open.

   (C:\WINWORD6\~WRANNNN.ASD)

CAUSE

=====

This happens when you run Word under Windows for Workgroups in

standard mode if the parameters for the SHARE.EXE utility are set too

low or if no parameters are set (which causes Share to use its

default settings). The Word Setup program adds the following line to

your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to load Share:

   <path>\SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F:5100

where <path> is the drive and directory where the SHARE.EXE file is

located (usually the MS-DOS directory).

This may also occur if you are using Windows for Workgroups version 3.11

and the line, DEVICE=IFSHLP.SYS is missing or misspelled in CONFIG.SYS

file.

RESOLUTION

==========

If your Share settings are lower than the ones listed above, you must

modify them in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

Note: If your Share settings are higher than those listed above, do

not reduce the settings; other applications on your system may require

the higher settings.

For more information on loading Share, query on the following words

in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   share.exe and config.sys and autoexec.bat and word and 6.00

WORKAROUND

==========

From the File menu select Save As. From the Save File as Type drop-down

scroll box select, Rich Text Format and choose OK.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To run Word 6.0 under Windows version 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups

version 3.1 in standard mode, you must run the MS-DOS SHARE command

before starting Windows. Word uses Share for object linking and

embedding (OLE) version 2.0 operations. Specifically, Share provides

the range-locking functionality that Word uses in compound files.

Word 6.0 will not start under Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups

3.1 in standard mode unless SHARE.EXE is loaded.

You do not need SHARE.EXE if you run Word under Windows for Workgroups

3.1 in enhanced (386) mode. Windows for Workgroups uses a comparable

file-sharing utility called VSHARE.386. Similarly, you do not need

SHARE.EXE if you run Word under Windows NT because this operating

system includes built-in range-locking functionality.

Word 2.x Custom Toolbar Does Not Display in Word 6.0

Article ID: Q105690

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Word 6.0, if you open a Word 2.x template that contains a custom

toolbar, Word does not customize the Standard toolbar. Instead, Word

defines a separate Word 2.0 toolbar, and you must select it in the

View Toolbars dialog box to display it.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In Word 2.x, only one toolbar is supported. In Word 6.0, where

multiple toolbars are supported, the Word 2.x toolbar is treated as a

separate, custom toolbar.

Paste Link from Excel Uses Relative Cell References

Article ID: Q105691

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you paste link an Microsoft Excel worksheet into a Word for Windows

document, the field code in Word contains R1C1 notation references (such as

R1C1 or R3C2) rather than A1 notation references (such as A1 or C2)

regardless of what notation the worksheet is using. By default Excel

worksheets use A1 notation.

For example, if you copy cell A1 in an Excel worksheet and paste link it in

a Word document, the field code references the cell as "R1C1".

CAUSE

=====

Word performs the paste link operation using the R1C1 notation reference

that Excel copies to the Windows Clipboard.

Note: By contrast, when you perform calculations in a Word table,

Word references cells using A1 cell references.

Create Button Unavailable with Built-in Command Selected

Article ID: Q105692

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In the Tools Macro dialog box, if you select a Word for Windows

command, the Create button is unavailable. This might lead you to

incorrectly assume that you cannot modify the functionality of Word

commands.

WORKAROUND

==========

As in previous versions of Word, you can modify Word commands by

creating a global or template macro with the same name as the Word

command. When Word finds a macro with the same name as a Word command,

it runs the macro instead of the command. The following sections

describe two methods you can use to create a macro to replace a Word

command:

Method 1: Select the Command, Then Select the Availability

----------------------------------------------------------

1. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

2. From the Macros Available In list, select Word Commands.

3. From the Macro Name list, select the command you want to modify.

4. From the Macros Available In list, select All Active Templates,

   Normal.dot (Global Template), Startup.dot (Global Template), or

   your document template. This setting determines where Word will

   save your macro. For example, if you want to modify the command

   globally, select Normal.dot (Global Template).

   IMPORTANT: Notice that the name of the Word command remains in the

   Macro Name box, even though it no longer appears in the Macro Name

   list. Notice also that the Create button is now available.

5. Choose the Create button. Word opens the command in a macro editing

   window, where you can modify it.

Method 2: Type the Word Command Name in the Macro Name Box

----------------------------------------------------------

Note: To use this method, you must know the name of the Word command

you want to modify.

1. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

2. In the Macros Available In list, select the location where you want

   Word to save the modified command. For example, if you want to

   modify the command globally, select Normal.dot (Global Template).

3. Type the Word command name in the Macro Name box and then choose

   the Create button. Word opens the command in a macro editing

   window, where you can modify it.

MORE INFORMATION

================

If you want to restore the original Word command, rename or delete

the replacement macro.

Cannot Replace All Occurrences of Invalid MERGEFIELD Field

Article ID: Q105693

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you choose the Check For Errors button on the Print Merge

toolbar, Word for Windows may prompt you repeatedly for the same

invalid MERGEFIELD field.

CAUSE

=====

Word prompts you to correct each instance of invalid MERGEFIELD fields

in your main mail merge document, but there is no way to replace or

remove all occurrences of a single incorrect field. You can only

replace or remove one occurrence of a field at a time.

WORKAROUND

==========

If your main document contains multiple instances of an invalid

field, you can use the Replace command on the Edit menu to replace or

remove all instances of the field at once.

Use the following instructions to replace one MERGEFIELD field with

another:

 1. In your main document, insert one instance of the correct

    MERGEFIELD fields.

 2. Select one of the invalid MERGEFIELD fields.

 3. From the Edit menu, choose Copy.

 4. From the Edit menu, choose Replace.

 5. Position the insertion point in the Find What box, and then press

    CTRL+V to paste the MERGEFIELD field.

 6. Leave the Edit Replace dialog box open and click in your document

    window to activate it (the Edit Replace dialog box is modeless).

 7. Select the correct MERGEFIELD field. From the Edit menu, choose

    Copy.

 8. Click in the Edit Replace dialog box to reactivate it.

 9. Position the insertion point in the Replace With box, and then

    press CTRL+V to paste the MERGEFIELD field.

10. Choose the Replace All button.

Bullets and Numbering Lost Saving as Text Only

Article ID: Q105694

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Documents containing numbered or bulleted lists, created by choosing

Bullets And Numbering from the Format menu, will lose their bullets

and/or numbering when the document is saved as Text Only.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

To prevent the bullets and numbers from being lost, save the document

as Text With Layout. Text With Layout preserves some paragraph

formatting, such as length of lines, tab stops, and spacing between

lines.

The paragraph format for bullets and/or numbers is also retained.

However, because of the ansi-to-ascii character translation, bullet

characters will appear as a small dots. The resulting bullet can then

be manually formatted for a larger character size to compensate.

If you need to save the document as Text Only, you can manually type

in the numbers and create the bullets using the Symbol command on the

Insert menu. By manually typing in the numbers and manually inserting

the bullets, the numbers and bullets are retained as character entries

instead of paragraph formats and are thus retained in a document saved

as Text Only.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Saving a document as Text Only strips off all paragraph formatting.

Bullets and numbers applied with the Bullets And Numbering command are

paragraph formats in Word 6.0 and thus are lost when saved as Text

Only.

"Header Record Delimiters" Appears Repeatedly in Mail Merge

Article ID: Q105695

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If a single field data file is in a paragraph delimited form, the

dialog box

   Header Record Delimiters

will appear at several points during the mail merge process. The

default Field Delimiter is displayed as [none]. To properly close

this dialog box, leave the settings as they are displayed and choose

OK.

Note: This information in this article applies only to data files that

consist of a single field. If this dialog box appears when using a

data file with two or more fields, there is an error in the header

record.

CAUSE

=====

This dialog is prompting you to select the character to separate

fields and records in the data file. For example, in many

multiple-field data files, a comma is used to separate each field and

a paragraph (hard carriage return) is used to separate each record. In

the case of a single field data file, there is no field separator.

This dialog box will appear every time the data file is read during

the mail merge process. Some of these instances include:

- Immediately after you select the data file name from the Mail Merge

  Helper Attach Data File screen

- After you choose OK from the Data Form Window

- After you close a file opened in View Source mode

Choose OK to remove this dialog from the screen in all of these cases.

Choosing Cancel may cause the source file to be opened in View Source

mode.

If you open the data file in View Source mode immediately after you

cancel the Header Record Delimiters message, close the file and choose

Yes when prompted to save the changes. Choosing No and cancelling the

Header Record Delimiters message will break the link between the data

file and main document.

WORKAROUND

==========

Convert the data file to a single column table as follows:

1. From the Edit menu, choose Select All.

2. From the Table menu, choose Convert Text To Table.

3. Set Number Of Columns to 1 and set Separate Text At to Paragraph.

4. Choose OK.

Some Commands Unavailable When Document Is Protected

Article ID: Q105697

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When document protection is enabled, you can move the insertion point

only to unprotected areas (form fields or unprotected sections). This

may cause a user that is unaware of document protection some confusion

because the user won't have have access to all of Word's commands.

Below is a table that shows all of the commands that are available

when document protection is enabled. (Keep in mind that as a designer,

you can customize all of the menus, keyboard commands, and so forth,

with AutoNew macros. Therefore, this list is a default list of

available commands.)

MORE INFORMATION

================

There are three ways to protect a document: revisions, annotations,

and form fields. Each has a setting that is enabled or disabled by

choosing Protect Document from the Tools menu.

Revisions

---------

When you protect a document for revision marks, all modifications come

in as revision marks. If Revision Marks is turned off but

modifications still come in as revision marks, you probably have a

document protected in this manner.

Annotations

-----------

When you protect a document for annotations, several of the menu

choices are disabled. The following are the menu commands that are

available while the document is protected for annotations:

   Menu     Commands

   ----     --------

   File     All except Page Setup (Docmument Layout in Word for the

            Macintosh)

   Edit     All except Cut, Paste, and Clear

   View     All

   Insert   Annotations only

   Format   None

   Tools    AutoCorrect, Unprotect Document, Revisions, Macros,

            Customize, and Options

   Table    Gridlines only

   Window   All

   Help     All

Forms

-----

When you protect a document for forms, several of the menu choices are

disabled. The following are the menu commands that are available while

the document is protected for Forms:

   Menu     Commands

   ----     --------

   File     New, Open, Close, Save, Save As, Save All, Find File,

            Summary Info, Print Preview, Print, MRU list, and Exit (Quit,

            in Word for the Macintosh)

Drawing Layer Shortcuts and Tips

Article ID: Q105698

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The Drawing Layer in Word has some keyboard shortcuts to assist you in

drawing various shapes:

 - To temporarily override the Snap To Grid feature in Word for Windows,

   hold down the ALT key as you draw. If Snap To Grid is not on, holding

   down the ALT key activates it. Use the COMMAND key in Word for the

   Macintosh

 - To return an imported graphic to its original size after cropping

   or scaling in Word for Windows, hold down the CTRL key and double-click

   the graphic. Use the COMMAND key in Word for the Macintosh and double-

   click the graphic.

 - To keep drawing objects without having to re-click the button each

   time, double-click the tool. Click the button again (or select a

   menu item, and so on) to return to an I-beam. This applies to the

   Line, Rectangle, Ellipse, Arc, Freeform, Textbox, and Callout

   tools.

 - To create an object centered at a specific point in Word for Windows,

   select the Rectangle, Ellipse, or Arc tool and then hold down CTRL

   as you drag out an object. Using CTRL+SHIFT creates a perfect square or

   circle from a specific point. In Word for the Macintosh hold down

   COMMAND+CONTROL while dragging the object.

 - Hold down the SHIFT key as you drag a line. This aids in

   drawing horizontal, vertical, or 45-degree lines.

 - To constrain an object (rectangle to a square, arc to a circular

   arc, and ellipse to a circle), hold down the SHIFT key when

   dragging.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Refer to Chapter 16, "Importing and Creating Graphics" in the

"Microsoft Word Users' Guide" (version 6.0) for more information. For

additional tips, search for "drawing" in Help.

Creating Example Text and Style Samples for Style Gallery.

Article ID: Q105700

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how you can create Examples and Style Samples for

your Word for Windows templates that will display in the Format Style

Gallery dialog box. You can also print these samples. The templates

supplied with Word 6.0 include Examples and Style Samples, but your

own templates will not contain these items unless you create them using

the instructions in this article.

In the Format Style Gallery dialog box, if you select the Example option,

Word displays a sample document formatted with the styles from the selected

template. If you select the Style Samples option, Word displays a list of

all styles in the selected template with sample text formatted with the

styles.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To add Examples and Style Samples to your template that will display in the

Preview Of box, you must create two AutoText entries for the template, as

described below in the subsequent two sections.

Creating Text Examples

----------------------

1. Open the template for which you want to create an Example preview.

2. In the template, type a sample document that uses the styles in your

   template. Your sample document should effectively demonstrate the use

   of as many template styles as possible.

3. Select the formatted text and then use the following procedure to

   create an AutoText entry:

   a. From the Edit menu, choose AutoText.

   b. In the Name box, type "Gallery Example" (without the quotation

      marks).

   c. In the Make AutoText Entry Available To box, select Documents

      Based On <Your Template>.dot [do not select All Documents

      (Normal.dot)].

   d. Choose the ADD button.

4. In the template, delete the text you typed in Step 2 above.

5. Save and close the template.

Style Samples

-------------

1. Open the template for which you want to create a Style Samples preview.

2. Type the name of each template style on a separate line. Apply the

   corresponding style to the style name text to demonstrate its use. For

   example, if you type "Body Text," format the text with the Body Text

   style.

3. Select the formatted sample text and then use the following procedure to

   create an AutoText entry:

   a. From the Edit menu, choose AutoText.

   b. In the Name box, type "Gallery Style Samples" (without the quotation

      marks).

   c. In the Make AutoText Entry Available To box, select Documents

      Based On <Your Template>.dot [do not select All Documents

      (Normal.dot)].

   d. Choose the ADD button.

4. In the template, delete the text you typed in Step 2 above.

5. Save and close the template.

When you create a document based on this template, your formatted Gallery

Style Sample and Gallery Example text will display in the Format Style

Gallery box when you select the Style Samples or Example options,

respectively.

Word Uses DIALOG.FON Font File for Dialog Box Text

Article ID: Q105703

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

By default, Word for Windows uses the font file DIALOG.FON to generate

the characters in both internal and user-defined dialog boxes. This

file is shipped with Word 6.0, and is the only font supported by

Microsoft for use in Word dialog boxes.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The font file DIALOG.FON was specifically designed to display

attractively in Word dialog boxes at a variety of screen resolutions.

The DIALOG.FON font provides an rich extended character set. Word

dialog boxes are designed specifically to work with DIALOG.FON. By

default, this font is located in the Word program directory.

If the DIALOG.FON font is deleted or becomes otherwise unavailable,

Word attempts to substitute the MS Sans Serif screen font

(SSERIFE.FON).

Microsoft does not support the use of third-party fonts in Word for

Windows dialog boxes.

OK and Cancel Buttons in Find File Error Msg Box Do Same Thing

Article ID: Q105704

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you try to copy a file to the same location where it is currently

located using the Find File command on the File menu, the following

error message occurs in Word for Windows:

   Word cannot copy a file to itself. <path>\<filename>

The error dialog box contains three buttons: OK, Cancel, and Help.

Word appears to cancel the Find File operation whether you choose OK

or Cancel.

RESOLUTION

==========

Word actually does different things when you choose OK versus Cancel,

depending on the selection in the File Find File dialog box.

If one file is selected, Word cancels the Find File operation if you

choose OK or Cancel. If multiple files are selected, Word cancels the

Find File operation for one file at a time when you choose OK. If you

choose Cancel, Word cancels the entire Find File operation for all

selected files.

Cannot Print Envelope with the Windows Printing System

Article ID: Q105705

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows Printing System, version 1.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you print an envelope from Word for Windows to a Hewlett-Packard (HP)

LaserJet printer that has a Windows Printing System (WPS) cartridge

installed or to a Lexmark Winwriter 600, any of the following incorrect

results may occur:

 - A blank envelope prints.

 - WPS ignores your Paper Source settings. For example, instead of

   feeding an envelope from the MP tray on the HP LaserJet Series IIIP

   printer, it feeds a standard 8.5-inch-by-11-inch page from the

   paper tray.

 - The print job stalls, and you must delete it in Print Manager to

   print subsequent print jobs.

 - Word hangs (stops responding).

This problem does not occur when you print an envelope in Word version 2.x

for Windows.

CAUSE

=====

This is usually caused by an incorrect configuration of Word and the

printer.

RESOLUTION

==========

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

4. Choose the Print tab.

3. Change the Default Tray selection at the bottom to read: From

   Control Panel.

At this point, you should be able to print to any of the Windows Printing

System supported envelopes. A list of these envelopes in contained in

Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q104188.

Word Selects Preceding Word or Punctuation

Article ID: Q105706

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If the Automatic Word Selection option is turned on and you select the

first word in a sentence, Word for Windows may select the period (or

other end-of-sentence punctuation such as a question mark) at the end

of the previous sentence.

Similarly, when you select the second of two words, sometimes Word

selects the first word as well.

CAUSE

=====

You selected two or more spaces to the left of your selected word.

Word defines any spaces before the first space to the left of a word

as part of the preceding word. Word defines the end-of-sentence

punctuation as a separate word. When there are two or more spaces

between two words and you select more than the space to the left of

the word, Word automatically selects the first word (or the

end-of-sentence punctuation), too.

This behavior is by design.

For example, in the sentence below, Word selects ". This " if you

select both spaces preceding "This", whereas Word only selects " This

" if you select only one space preceding "This".

   This is a sentence. This is another sentence.

Note: There are two spaces between the two sentences. Word defines the

period as a separate word, so when you select its trailing space, Word

selects the period as well.

As another example, if you select more than the first space to the

left of "Apple" in the sentence below, Word selects "Fruit" as well.

   Fruit    Apple

Note: There are four spaces between "Fruit" and "Apple".

By contrast, Word does not select the preceding word or the period at

the end of the preceding sentence if there is only one space between

the sentences and you select that space along with the first word of

the sentence.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

 - To select text using the mouse when the Automatic Word Selection

   option is turned on, do not select more than one space before the

   first word in a sentence if you don't want the Automatic Word

   Selection feature to select the preceding spaces and word or

   punctuation.

   -or-

 - Select the text using the keyboard instead of the mouse.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Automatic Word Selection option selects the space following any

word you select. When there are two or more spaces between sentences

and you select two or more of those spaces, Word defines those spaces

as part of the preceding word, so it selects that word as well.

To access the Automatic Word Selection option, choose Options from

the Tools menu and then select the Edit tab.

Deleted File Still Listed on MRU List

Article ID: Q105707

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The name of a deleted file will remain in the list at the bottom of

the File menu (the "most recently used" or "MRU" list) after the file

has been deleted (or is unavailable) and has been rechosen.

STATUS

======

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word 6.0 maintains a list of up to nine of the most recently used

(MRU) files, at the bottom of the File menu. Earlier versions of Word

display an error message and remove the name of a deleted or

unavailable file if an attempt is made to open the file from this

list. Word 6.0 keeps the name of the file in the list. This behavior

is new with version 6.0 and is similar to that of Excel's MRU list.

Microsoft changed the MRU list behavior in Word 6.0 because of the

increasing use of networks, where a file may not be deleted but simply

unavailable.

Word allows you to completely clear the MRU list. To clear files from

the MRU list, do the following:

1. From the Tools Menu, choose Options.

2. Select the General tab.

3. Clear the "Recently Used File List" option.

4. Choose OK.

5. From the Tools Menu, choose Options.

6. Select the General tab.

7. Select the "Recently Used File List" option.

8. Choose OK.

Result: This will reset the MRU list.

Change Case Command Does Not Toggle to Initial Caps

Article ID: Q105708

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Change Case command (SHIFT+F3) does not always behave as expected.

Below are four situations in which Change Case does not appear to correctly

toggle case.

The Change Case command does not toggle to title case (the first letter of

each word is capitalized) when any of the following are true:

 - The selection includes end-of-sentence punctuation (such as a period,

   question mark, or exclamation mark). It toggles from uppercase to

   lowercase to sentence case only.

 - The selection includes the last letter in the paragraph even if the

   selection does not include end-of-selection punctuation. It toggles from

   uppercase to lowercase to sentence case only. This problem also occurs

   when you select text in tables, frames, and text boxes where the last

   letter of the paragraph is included in the selection.

 - The selection begins with a space and the selection does not include

   end-of-selection punctuation. It toggles from uppercase to lowercase to

   sentence case only.

The Change Case command does not toggle to sentence case (only the first

letter of the first word in the selection is capitalized) when the

following is true:

 - The selection does not include end-of-sentence punctuation. It toggles

   from uppercase to lowercase to initial caps only.

CAUSE

=====

The Change Case command does not toggle a complete sentence to title case.

Similarly, the Change Case command assumes that a non-sentence selection is

never formatted for sentence case. The command determines whether the

selection is a sentence by checking for end-of-sentence punctuation. This

is a design feature of the toggle (SHIFT+F3) for the Change Case command.

When the Change Case command does not toggle an incomplete sentence to

title case because the selection includes the last letter of the paragraph,

or the selection begins with a space, the behavior is not by design.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Note: This does not apply to the tOGGLE cASE option in the Format Change

Case dialog box. The tOGGLE cASE option only changes characters from

lowercase to uppercase.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In Word 6.0, the toggle behavior of the Change Case command differs from

that of earlier versions of Word for Windows, in which Word switches from

uppercase to lowercase to title case when you press SHIFT+F3, regardless of

the context.

Purpose of INI-PATH Setting in the WINWORD6.INI File

Article ID: Q105710

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The INI-PATH setting in the WINWORD6.INI file tells Word for Windows

the location of the WINWORD.OPT file.

In a non-network installation of Word, this setting is by default set

to the Word program directory, usually C:\WINWORD. In a network

installation of Word, the setting specifies the location of each

user's WINWORD.OPT file.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The WINWORD.OPT file is a binary file that contains user preferences,

most of which are set in the Tools Options dialog box.

In a network installation of Word, you should change the INI-PATH

setting to a unique location. If you accept the default setting, all

network users use the same WINWORD.OPT file, which may lead to file

sharing errors.

Note: The Word 6.0 WINWORD.OPT file corresponds to the Word 2.x

WINWORD.INI file.

The WINWORD6.INI file, located in the Windows directory, is a text

file that contains the settings that are stored in the Windows WIN.INI

file in earlier versions of Word.

"Application Object" Can Be Paste Linked in Word 6.0

Article ID: Q105711

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

If you copy a selection from an Microsoft Excel 4.0 or 4.0a

spreadsheet, switch to Word 6.0 for Windows, choose Paste Special from

the Edit menu, and choose Microsoft Excel Worksheet Object, the Paste

Link option is available.

Choosing to paste link a Microsoft Excel worksheet object in a Word

6.0 document gives you the same result as paste linking the Picture

format. This behavior is different than Word 2.x for Windows, which

does not allow the Paste Link option while Microsoft Excel Worksheet

Object is selected.

This information applies to any data that is copied from an

application that supports object linking and embedding (OLE). Some

applications that claim to support OLE may only support embedded

objects.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The differences between the Paste Special options are as follows:

1. An embedded Microsoft Excel object (with no link) is created when

   you choose Microsoft Excel Worksheet Object in the Paste Special

   dialog box and select the Paste option. An EMBED field is inserted

   into your document. You can change the information in the object

   by double-clicking the object, which launches Microsoft Excel with

   a COPY of the original spreadsheet and allows you to modify the

   data as it appears in Word. The "native" Microsoft Excel data, used

   by Microsoft Excel when editing, is stored in your Word document.

   The original spreadsheet, if it was ever saved to a Microsoft Excel

   file, is not affected.

2. A linked (NOT embedded) object is created when you select any of

   the available formats and choose Paste Link. Word inserts a LINK

   field to represent the linked object. The \a switch is inserted

   into the field to indicate automatic update.

   All LINK fields have one of the following format switches:

      Switch   Description

      ------------------------------------------

      \t       Unformatted text

      \r       Rich text format (formatted text)

      \p       Picture (Windows Metafile)

      \b       Bitmap

   All formats except Picture (\p) are inserted with a \*MERGEFORMAT

   switch. When this switch is added to a LINK field, the font size

   and style, borders, and dimensions of the object do not change to

   match the formatting in the source Microsoft Excel spreadsheet when

   you update the object.

   Updating the text in the original spreadsheet updates the linked

   information in your Word document. If you modify the information in

   the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet while the Word document is closed,

   Word will automatically update the sheet when you open your

   document. To disable this feature, choose Options from the Tools

   menu, select the General tab, and clear Update Automatic Links at

   Open. You can then update individual objects by selecting the

   object and pressing F9.

3. When you select Microsoft Excel Worksheet Object and choose Paste

   Link, you get the same result as if you had chosen Picture and

   Paste Link: a LINK field with the \a and \p switches. As with any

   linked object, you can double-click it to modify it. This will load

   and modify the ORIGINAL spreadsheet (.XLS file). Changes will be

   displayed in your Word document.

Copy Button Unavailable in Organizer Dialog Box

Article ID: Q105713

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Copy button is unavailable in the Organizer dialog box if any of

the following is true for the selected destination document or

template:

 - It is protected (either for annotations or forms).

 - It is password protected.

 - It is read-only.

 - It is located on a network drive to which you do not have

   sufficient user privileges.

Note: The destination file is the document or template where you want

to copy the style, macro, or AutoText.

WORKAROUND

==========

Unprotect the protected document or remove the read-only file

attribute. On a network, make sure the user has full rights to the

document, or move the document to a different location.

Document Object Margins Default to 0 (Zero) Inches

Article ID: Q105714

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you choose Object from the Insert menu and choose the object type

labeled "Microsoft Word 6.0 Document" or "Word Document," Word opens

up a document window with margins of 0 (zero) inches on all sides.

CAUSE

=====

Word sets the margins at 0 inches in a document object so your

document does not contain excessive white space around the object due

to the combination of two sets of margin settings.

MORE INFORMATION

================

If you want specific margins for all document objects, use an .INI switch

to designate a particular template to be used when word spawns a document

object. The .INI switch oledot=c:\winword6\template\<favorite.dot> must be

added in the [Microsoft Word] section of the WINWORD6.INI, where

<favorite.dot> is the name of any existing template. This allows the

created document object to take on the characteristics, including margins,

of the specified template.

Example of the WINWORD6.INI entry:

   [Microsoft Word]

   oledot=c:\winword6\template\faxcovr1.dot

Note: The margins indicated in the template will be added to the

margins set for the document into which the document object is placed.

For example, if the document has a left and right margin of 1.25

inches, and the designated template for the inserted object has left

and right margins of 1 inch, the resulting document will reflect

2.25-inch left and right margins where the document object is located.

Additionally, if you want to set custom margins for individual

document objects, you can set the margins when in the document object

editing window in the same way that you set margins for a standard

Word 6.0 document.

Inserting Caption into Paragraph Applies Caption Style

Article ID: Q105715

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOM

=======

Inserting a caption into a Word document applies the Caption style to the

currently selected paragraph.

CAUSE

=====

When inserting a caption, Word automatically applies the Caption style

to the selected object or current paragraph the cursor is positioned

in. This is by design, because when you apply a caption to an object,

the object should be selected.

WORKAROUND

==========

To prevent Word from applying the Caption style to the paragraph

preceding the caption, press the ENTER key to insert a blank

paragraph.

Reapplying Paragraph Style Removes Character Style

Article ID: Q105718

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you format a paragraph using paragraph and character styles, apply

manual formatting to the paragraph, and then reapply the paragraph

style, Word for Windows may remove the character style formatting.

Word removes the character style formatting if the text is actually

selected in the paragraph when you redefine or reapply the paragraph

style. Word does not remove any character style formatting from

unselected text.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

 - Use the Style command on the Format menu to reapply or modify the

   paragraph style. When you reapply it using the Apply button in the

   Format Style dialog box, Word does not replace the character styles

   with the paragraph style.

   -or-

 - Before you redefine or reapply a style using the Style list on the

   Formatting toolbar, make sure the text that contains character

   style formatting is not selected.

MORE INFORMATION

================

If you change the formatting in a paragraph and then reapply the

style, a prompt appears asking if you want to redefine the style or

return the paragraph to the original style formatting. Regardless of

which option you select, Word replaces the character style formatting

with paragraph style formatting for any text that is selected in the

paragraph.

In any unselected word, Word does not replace the character styles. If

a portion of a word is selected (or if the insertion point is in a

word that is formatted with a character style), Word replaces the

character style for that word, but not for unselected words.

Note: Word 2.x for Windows treated direct character formatting in a

similar manner, except that Word 2.x does not replace character

formatting if you only position the insertion point in the word

without actually selecting it.

Unable to See List of Merge Fields

Article ID: Q105745

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If there are many fields in your data document, or if the fields have

very long names, you may be unable to see the list of field names when

you click the Insert Merge Field button in the main document. Instead,

a long line will appear along the left side of the screen, or only the

last few field names will appear.

CAUSE

=====

Word is actually displaying the list of merge field names, but the

list is moved off the left edge of the screen. The long vertical line

that appears is actually the right edge of the box of names. This

problem is less noticeable on video cards with higher resolutions.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Move the Insert Merge Field button to the right side of the Mail Merge

toolbar.

 -or-

Create the following macro that opens the Insert Field dialog box and add

the macro to the Mail Merge toolbar:

Sub MAIN

 Dim DLG As InsertMergeField

 GetCurValues DLG

 X = Dialog(DLG)

 If X = - 1 Then InsertMergeField DLG

End Sub

Form Letters

------------

With the insertion point where you want your first field, press

ALT+SHIFT+F. This brings up another Insert Merge Field dialog box.

Select the field you want and choose OK.

Envelopes

---------

Use a smaller data document, one that contains only those fields you

will actually merge.

-or-

1. In the Envelope Options box, select the options that correspond to

   your envelope. Choose OK.

2. In the Envelope Address box, leave the Sample Envelope Address

   blank. Choose OK.

3. Close the Mail Merge Helper.

4. The insertion point is at the beginning of the return address.

   Press CTRL+HOME to move the insertion point to the receiver's

   address location.

5. With the insertion point where you want your first field, press

   ALT+SHIFT+F. This brings up another Insert Merge Field dialog box.

   Select the field you want and choose OK.

6. Type any punctuation you need and repeat step 5.

Labels

------

Use a smaller data document, one that contains only those fields you

will actually merge

-or-

 1. In the Label Options box, select the size and number of labels you

    will be using. Choose OK.

 2. In the Create Labels box, leave the Sample Label blank. Choose OK.

 3. Close the Mail Merge Helper.

 4. You are now in the main document, which now contains a table.

    Place the insertion point in the first cell of the table.

    If you do not see the dotted lines that separate the rows and

    columns of the table, choose Gridlines from the Table menu.

 5. Press Alt+Shift+F to bring up a different Insert Merge Field dialog.

    Select the appropriate Mail Merge Field, click OK.

 6. Add any spaces, returns, or punctuation and then press ALT+Shift+F to

    insert the next merge field.

 7. When you have finished laying out the first label, highlight the

    contents of the first cell.

 8. From the Edit menu, choose Copy.

 9. Place the insertion point in the next cell. Click the Insert Word

    Field button and select Next Record. This inserts a field called

    "Next" that signals to Word that it is to print the contents of

    the next record in this cell.

10. From the Edit menu, choose Paste. The contents of the first cell

    have now been pasted in this cell.

11. Highlight the contents of this second cell.

12. From the Edit menu, choose Copy.

13. Move the insertion point to the beginning of the next cell, and

    choose Paste.

    Repeat step 13 for each of the remaining labels. When you have

    filled each label, you are ready to perform the mail merge.

After running a Complete installation of Word for Windows, the following

templates are copied to a MACROS subdirectory in the Word 6.0 program

directory (for example, C:\<WINWORD6\MACROS).

   CONVERT.DOT

   MACRO60.DOT

   TABLES.DOT

   LAYOUT.DOT

This article contains a list of the macros in each of these templates,

including notes about their limitations or any problems.

Note: The Typical Setup option does not install the above templates

to the MACROS subdirectory.

The CONVERT.DOT template contains the following useful macros to

simplify converting and changing conversion options:

                               PowerPoint presentation.

The MACRO60.DOT template contains the following useful macros you can

use in your general work with Word for Windows:

   Macro                       Explanation and Notes

   -------------------------------------------------------------------

   DisableAutoBackup           Disables the Enable/Disable Auto Backup

                               command on the File menu (added by the

                               EnableAutoBackup macro) and removes the

                               FileSave and FileSaveAs macros.

   EnableAutoBackup            Adds the Enable/Disable Auto Backup command

                               to the File menu. It also creates FileSave

                               and FileSaveAs macros that create backups

                               when you save files. The macro prompts you

                               for a location to save the backups.

   ExitAll                     Closes all open document, template, and

                               macro-editing windows. A dialog box lists

                               all open documents and prompts you to save

                               them.

   FindSymbol                  Finds and replaces symbols inserted with

                               the Symbol command (Insert menu). In the

                               Find And Replace Symbols dialog box, choose

                               the Find What button to select the symbol to

                               search for; choose the Replace With button

                               to select the symbol to replace it with.

   FontSampleGenerator         Generates a sample document that you can

                               print out to show all printable fonts on

                               your system in the point size you specify.

   MindBender                  Demonstrates through a sample game several

                               methods for using dynamic dialog boxes.

   OrganizationalChartMaker    Builds an organizational chart using the

                               drawing tools in Word. Set up the hierarchy

                               using built-in heading styles (do not

                               include any tab characters) and run the

                               macro.

   PrnSel2File                 Saves selected text in an MS-DOS text file.

                               Select the text and run the macro. You can

                               append to or overwrite an existing file or

                               create a new one.

   RunWizard                   Displays a dialog box of available wizards

                               that you can run.

   SetPrintFlags               A Product Support Services support macro.

                               Modifies advanced printing behavior. Use

                               with caution.

   SuperDocStatistics          Displays a dialog box with a comprehensive

                               list of the open document's statistics. For

                               example, all fonts used in the document are

                               listed.

Note: The Macro60 toolbar contains a DateCalculations button, but

MACRO60.DOT contains no DateCalculations macro. Microsoft removed the

DateCalculations macro prior to shipping Word but did not also remove the

DateCalculations button from the Macro60 toolbar.

The TABLES.DOT template contains the following useful macros you can

use when working with tables:

   Macro                       Explanation and Notes

   -------------------------------------------------------------------

   AccessExporter              Converts a selected Word table into an

                               Access table.

                               with the top-most value of each column.

                               Select the columns you want to fill and

                               run the macro.

                               Warning: Overwrites existing cell contents.

   TableFillRight              Fills cells in the selected table row

                               with the left-most value of each row.

                               Select the rows you want to fill and run

                               the macro.

                               Warning: Overwrites existing cell contents.

   TableMath                   Helps you insert formula fields into a

                               table by selecting cell references and

                               calculation types such as sum, average,

                               and count. Position the insertion point

                               in the table and run the macro.

                               For more information about the TableMath

                               macro, query on the following words in

                               the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

                                  tablemath and tables.dot and

   TableNumber                 Adds numbering to rows or columns. If

                               necessary, a row or column is added to

                               contain the numbering. Position the

                               insertion point in the table, start the

                               macro, and select the numbering option

                               you want from the dialog box.

The LAYOUT.DOT template contains the following useful macros you can

use to manipulate text and page layouts.

1.  Q. Why does the following error message occur when I start

       Word 6.0? "You must exit Windows and load SHARE.EXE in order to

       run Word."

    A. To run Word 6.0 under Windows version 3.1 in standard mode or

       386 enhanced mode or under Windows for Workgroups version 3.1

       in standard mode, you must run the MS-DOS SHARE command before

       starting Windows. Word uses the Share program for object

       linking and embedding (OLE) version 2.0 operations.

       Specifically, Share provides the range-locking functionality

       that Word uses in compound files. Word 6.0 will not start under

       Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.1 in standard mode

       unless Share is loaded.

       You do not need Share if you run Word under Windows for

       Workgroups 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode. Windows for Workgroups

       uses a comparable file-sharing utility called VSHARE.386.

       Similarly, you do not need Share if you run Word under Windows

       NT(TM) because this operating system includes built-in range-

       locking functionality.

2.  Q. How do I load SHARE.EXE?

    A. If you want to automatically load SHARE.EXE each time you start

       your computer, do one of the following:

        - For all versions of MS-DOS except version 4.01, add the

          following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

             <path>\share.exe /L:500 /F:5100

          where <path> is the drive and directory where the SHARE.EXE

          file is located (usually the MS-DOS directory).

          For example, if your MS-DOS directory is called DOS and is

          on drive C, add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT

          file:

             c:\dos\share.exe /L:500 /F:5100

        - For MS-DOS version 4.01, add the following line to your

          CONFIG.SYS file:

             install=<path>\share.exe /L:500 /F:5100

          For example, if your MS-DOS directory is called DOS and is

          on drive C, add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file:

             install=c:\dos\share.exe /L:500 /F:5100

3.  Q. What is the difference between SHARE.EXE and VSHARE.386,

       which is supplied with Windows for Workgroups 3.1?

    A. Both VSHARE.386 and SHARE.EXE are file-sharing programs that

       provide range-locking functionality to applications, such as

       Word 6.0, that support OLE 2.0. VSHARE.386 functions as a

       replacement for SHARE.EXE. VShare is an enhanced mode virtual

       device driver (VxD), and it contains several network-specific

       features that improve file sharing when you run Windows for

       Workgroups in enhanced mode.

4.  Q. I'm running Windows for Workgroups but when I try to start

       Word 6.0, I still get the error message "You must quit Windows

       and load SHARE.EXE in order to run Word." What's wrong?

    A. If you are running Windows for Workgroups in standard mode,

       neither VSHARE.386 nor SHARE.EXE is running, so Word cannot

       start. This happens because Word Setup does not add SHARE.EXE

       to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file if you are running Windows for

       Workgroups in either standard or 386 enhanced mode. As a

       result, you must quit Windows for Workgroups and do one of the

       following:

        - Restart Windows for Workgroups in 386 enhanced mode.

          -or-

        - At the MS-DOS command prompt, load SHARE.EXE by typing the

          following and then pressing ENTER:

             c:\dos\share.exe /L:500 /F:5100

          In the above command, "C:\DOS" is the drive and directory

          where SHARE.EXE is located - usually your MS-DOS directory.

          You can now restart Windows for Workgroups in standard mode

          and run Word 6.0.

5.  Q. Why does the following error message occur in Word?

          Word cannot save or create this file. Make sure the disk is

          not write protected. <path>\<filename>

    A. This error message may occur if you set the parameters for

       SHARE.EXE too low (by decreasing or removing the /L locks

       parameter from the Share command line). The Word Setup program

       sets 500 file locks, so this problem should not occur unless

       you decrease or remove the Share parameters after running Word

       Setup.

       Use one or more of the following steps to resolve this problem:

        - If you have not restarted your computer since installing

          Word, the Share settings in your AUTOEXEC.BAT (or

          CONFIG.SYS) file may be correct, but the settings have not

          yet taken effect. In this case, quit Word, quit Windows, and

          restart your computer so the correct Share settings can take

          effect.

        - Close some of your open documents to free some file locks.

        - Increase the Share file locks (/L) parameter and restart

          your computer. Microsoft recommends that you use the

          following Share parameters:

             /L:500 /F:5100

 6. Q. My Share parameters are correct, and I have restarted my

       computer, but I still receive the following error message:

          Word cannot save or create this file. Make sure the disk is

          not write protected. <path>\<filename>

       What else can I do?

    A. Below is a list of possible causes for this error message and

       resolutions or workarounds for each cause.

       1. Cause: You may have insufficient disk space to save the

          file.

          Resolution: Check the drive where you want to save the file

          to be sure it is not full. While you are checking for

          available disk space, you should also check for and delete

          any extraneous temporary (.TMP) files.

       2. Cause: You are running MasterWord or other third-party add-

          in programs that conflict with Word.

          Workaround: Quit Word, then restart Word with the /a switch.

          For more information on this switch, see the "Starting Word

          Without Loading Global Items" section at the end of Chapter

          10 in the "Microsoft Word User's Guide."

       3. Cause: The TEMP setting in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file points to

          an invalid location or to a drive with less than 6 to 8

          megabytes (MB) of available disk space.

          Resolution: Modify the SET TEMP line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT

          file so it defines a valid location with at least 6 to 8 MB

          of available disk space.

       4. Cause: An older version of Adobe Type Manager(R) (ATM)

          may be conflicting with Word 6.0.

          Workaround: To rule out this cause, quit Word, turn off

          ATM, and then quit and restart Windows. If the error

          message does not recur when you run Word, your older version

          of ATM may be causing the "Cannot Save File" error

          message. Phone Adobe technical support for more information.

       5. Cause: You loaded SHARE.EXE in the upper memory area using

          an upper memory manager (such as Qemm) other than

          EMM386.EXE, which is supplied with MS-DOS .

           NOTE: You should not have a problem running Share in upper

           memory when you use the EMM386.EXE upper memory manager and

           the MS-DOS loadhigh command.

          Workaround: Microsoft has received several reports that the

          "Cannot Save File" error message no longer occurs if you

          load Share in conventional memory instead of upper memory.

          To do this, remove "LOADHIGH" or "LH" from the SHARE.EXE

          line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. For example (where "C:\DOS"

          is the location of your MS-DOS directory), change this line

             loadhigh c:\dos\share.exe /L:500 /F:5100

          to the following:

             c:\dos\share.exe /L:500 /F: 5100

           NOTE: Microsoft does not support the mixing of load-high

           methods. You should not use the MS-DOS loadhigh command

           when you run a third-party upper memory manager such as

           Qemm.

       6. Cause: Your EMM386.EXE settings are incorrect.

          Resolution: Make sure you are using correct EMM386.EXE

          settings. For information about EMM386.EXE settings, refer

          to your MS-DOS documentation.

       7. Cause: You have more than one Share line in your

          AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS file.

          -or-

          You have a Share line in both your AUTOEXEC.BAT and

          CONFIG.SYS files.

          Resolution: Remove all but one Share line from your

          AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.

7.  Q. Why do the following error messages occur when I open a

       file in Word?

          File is in use by another user.

          Cannot open document.

    A. These error messages, which Word displays when you open a

       second or third file or when you open a file based on a

       template, occur if you set the parameters for SHARE.EXE too low

       (by decreasing or removing the /L locks parameter from the

       Share command line). The Word Setup program sets 500 file

       locks, so this problem should not occur unless you decrease or

       remove the Share parameters after running Word Setup.

       Use one or more of the following steps to resolve this problem:

        - If you have not restarted your computer since installing

          Word, the Share settings in your AUTOEXEC.BAT (or

          CONFIG.SYS) file may be correct, but the settings have not

          yet taken effect. In this case, quit Word, quit Windows, and

          restart your computer so the correct Share settings can take

          effect.

        - Close some of your open documents to free some file locks.

        - Increase the Share file locks (/L) parameter and restart

          your computer. Microsoft recommends that you use the

          following Share parameters:

             /L:500 /F:5100

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  Q. Why do I have distortion, or garbage, on my screen in Word 6.0?

    A. Any of the following screen display problems may occur due to

       problems with the video driver supplied with your video card:

       1. Screen distortion, such as "snow" or "remnants," may appear

          when you type or scroll in Word 6.0 with certain video

          display drivers, such as the ATI Ultra. When Word redraws

          the screen, the distortion disappears, but it recurs the

          next time you type or scroll.

       2. The hot spots on the status bar appear to do nothing when

          you double-click them, even though they are actually

          functioning normally.

       3. The text and messages on the status bar may be hard to read

          or may not display at all. For example, when you press the

          INS key to turn on overtype mode in Word, "OVR" does not

          appear on the status bar to indicate that you are in this

          mode.

       4. The shading applied by some wizards does not display

          correctly. For example, the shaded border around an award

          certificate you create using the Awards Wizard displays

          incorrectly. It prints correctly, however.

       If you have problems that relate to the video driver supplied

       with your video card, ask the video card manufacturer if there

       is an updated driver. If you have the ATI Ultra video card, you

       can obtain an updated video driver by contacting ATI Technical

       Support at (905) 882-2626 or by connecting to ATI's bulletin

       board at (905) 764-9404.

       If no new video driver is available, you can use the standard

       VGA video driver supplied with Windows instead. You may be able

       to correct these screen problems by setting the Display switch

       in the WINWORD6.INI file. For information about the Display

       switch, see the online README Help file in Word. If you have an

       ATI Ultra video card, use one of the following Display switch

       settings to correct the problem:

       1. If the screen distortion occurs when you type, set the

          Display=1 switch.

       2. If the screen distortion occurs when you scroll, set the

          Display=2 switch.

2.  Q. Why does a general protection (GP) fault error sometimes occur

       while I edit my Word 6.0 document?

    A. A GP fault error may occur in Word when you use the Dell(R) S3

       video driver, which is supplied with some Dell computers.

       Microsoft has reproduced this problem using the Dell S3 video

       driver version 3.1.3a. The problem does not occur in Word 6.0

       when you use version 3.1.4 of the Dell S3 driver (S3645K.DRV).

       To obtain this updated version of the video driver, contact

       Dell Computer Systems at the following phone numbers:

          Dell Technical Support: (800) 624-9896

          Dell Bulletin Board Service (BBS): (512) 728-8528

       To work around this problem, use the standard VGA video driver

       supplied with Windows.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  Q. Where can I find information on what will convert to and

       from Word 6.0?

    A. The Word 6.0 README Help file contains information about

       converting documents to and from Word. Use the following

       instructions to open the README Help file:

       1. Double-click the Help button on the Standard toolbar.

       2. Type README in the Search dialog box and then choose the

          Show Topics button.

       3. Choose the Go To button.

       4. Choose the File Conversion topic.

       5. Choose the Conversion Limitations topic.

2.  Q. Will Word 6.0 read my Word 2.0 documents?

    A. Yes. When you open a Word 2.0 document in Word 6.0, Word 6.0

       automatically converts it. When you save the document, you can

       choose between Word 6.0 and Word 2.0 file format.

3.  Q. Will Word 2.0 read my Word 6.0 documents?

    A. Yes, but you must first install the Word 6.0 converter,

       supplied with your Word 6.0 package, using the following

       instructions. (If you do not have the Word 6.0 package, refer

       to question 4.)

       1. If you did not install all the text converters when you

          installed Word 6.0, run Word 6.0 Setup again and install

          them.

       2. Copy the MSWORD6.CNV file from the <WINDOWS>\MSAPPS\TEXTCONV

          subdirectory (where <WINDOWS> is the name of your Windows

          program directory) to your Word 2.0 program directory.

       3. Start Word 2.0.

       4. Open your Word 6.0 document. Word 2.0 automatically searches

          for and installs the Word 6.0 converter and converts your

          document. If the following error message appears, choose OK

          to continue:

             The document template is not valid.

          Word 2.0 does not supply the Word 6.0 converter. If you do not

          have the converter, the Word 6.0 document must be reopened in

          Word 6.0 and then saved in Word 2.0 file format.

4.  Q. How can I obtain the Word 6.0 converter if I don't have

       the Word 6.0 package?

    A. You can obtain the Word 6.0 converter through any of the

       following options:

        - Phone the Microsoft Sales Information Center at (800) 426-9400

          and ask for the Word 6.0 Converter Kit.

          If you are outside the United States, contact the Microsoft

          subsidiary for your area. To locate your subsidiary, call

          Microsoft International Customer Service at (206) 936-8661.

        - If you have a modem, you can download the Word 6.0 Converter

          Kit from the Microsoft Word forum on CompuServe(R) or from the

          Microsoft Download Service (MSDL) at (206) 936-6735.

       Important Points

        - This converter is intended for users of Word 2.0 for Windows

          who don't yet have access to Word 6.0. The converter has its

          own Setup program; setup instructions are included in the

          cover letter.

        - This converter will not run under Windows version 3.0.

        - The formatting features added in Word 6.0 that do not exist

          in Word 2.0 will not be retained during the conversion.

        - This converter allows Word 2.0 to read documents created by

          Word 6.0.

        - Word 6.0 for Windows uses object linking and embedding (OLE)

          2.0 for file storage, so several OLE 2.0 files are required

          for the converter to read Word 6.0 for Windows documents.

          These OLE 2.0 files are supplied with Word 6.0 for Windows

          and the Word 6.0 Converter Kit and are installed during setup

          of the Word 6.0 converter. The OLE 2.0 files are not guaranteed

          to work under Windows 3.0.

5.  Q. Why won't Word open my Word for the Macintosh(R) 4.x or

       5.x documents?

    A. Word 6.0 can read Word 4.x and 5.x for the Macintosh documents

       automatically, without using a converter. Therefore, if Word

       cannot open your Word for the Macintosh document, check the

       floppy disk where the document file is stored. If the disk was

       formatted in Macintosh format, your MS-DOS - based computer

       cannot read the disk. To ensure that Word for Windows can read

       your Word for the Macintosh files, save them on an MS-DOS -

       formatted disk.

6.  Q. How do I open a document in Word 6.0 that was created in

       another application?

    A. To convert most types of documents, simply open them. Word

       automatically converts them to Word format. The original file

       remains unconverted on disk. To preserve the original file,

       save the converted document with a new filename.

       If Word does not recognize a file format, it displays the

       Convert File dialog box. If your file format does not appear in

       the Convert File From list, its converter is not installed. You

       either need to rerun Word Setup to install the missing

       converter or order the Supplemental File Conversion Disks to

       obtain Word's additional converters. See Word's README Help

       file for a list of the converters included with the

       Supplemental File Conversion Disks. See the "Converting File

       Formats" topic in Help for a list of the converters included

       with Word.

       To find out how to order the Supplemental File Conversion

       Disks, see question 10.

       To find out how to open a document for which Word does not

       supply a converter, see question 11.

7.  Q. How do I save a document in a different file format?

    A. Use the following instructions to save a Word document in

       another format:

       1. From the File menu, choose Save As.

       2. In the Save File As Type box, select a file format.

       3. Type a name in the File Name box and then choose OK.

       For more information, see Chapter 26 in the "Microsoft Word

       User's Guide".

8.  Q. How can I see which converters have already been installed

       in Word?

    A. To see a list of the currently installed converters, select the

       Confirm Conversions option in the File Open dialog box and open

       a non-Word document. Word displays the Convert File dialog box.

       The Convert File From list is the complete list of installed

       converters.

9.  Q. How do I install a converter in Word 6.0?

    A. To install a converter, run the Word Setup program. Choose

       Custom Setup and choose to install all or selected text

       converters. For instructions on how to obtain supplemental

       converters that are not shipped with Word, see question 10. For

       a list of the text converters supplied with Word, see the

       "Converting File Formats" topic in Help.

10. Q. How do I order the Supplemental File Conversion Disks for

       Word 6.0?

    A. To order the Supplemental File Conversion Disks, send in your

       Supplemental Offers Coupon, included with your Word package, or

       phone Microsoft Sales Information Center at (800) 426-9400. If you

       are outside the United States, contact the Microsoft subsidiary for

       your area. To locate your subsidiary, call Microsoft

       International Customer Service at (206) 936-8661.

       If you have a modem, you can download these converters from the

       Microsoft Word Forum on CompuServe or from the Microsoft

       Download Service (MSDL) at (206) 936-6735.

       In Word's README Help file, there is a list of the text

       converters available on the Supplemental File Conversion Disks.

       To view this list, do the following:

       1. On the Standard toolbar, double-click the Help button.

       2. In the Search dialog box, type README and choose the Show

          Topics button.

       3. Choose the Go To button.

       4. Choose the File Conversions topic.

       5. Choose the Overview topic.

11. Q. How can I open a document created in another application

       if Word doesn't have a converter for it?

    A. In the original application, save the document in a format that

       Word 6.0 supports. Check the documentation for that application

       to find out which file formats are supported. See Word's README

       Help file for a list of the converters included with the

       Supplemental File Conversion Disks. See the "Converting File

       Formats" topic in Help for a list of the converters included

       with Word.

12. Q. How do I convert more than one document at a time?

    A. Word 6.0 supplies the BatchConversion macro, which runs the

       Batch Conversion Wizard. This wizard walks you through the

       steps to perform batch file conversions to and from other file

       formats. To use the BatchConversion macro, do the following:

       1. Open the CONVERT template (CONVERT.DOT), located in the

          <WINWORD>\MACROS subdirectory (where <WINWORD> is the Word

          6.0 program directory).

       2. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

       3. In the Macro Name list, select BatchConversion and then

          choose the Run button. This starts the Batch Conversion

          Wizard.

       4. Follow the screen directions in the wizard.

|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

1. Q. How can I easily remove all or parts of the Word program?

    A. Word Setup has a maintenance mode that you can use to add and

       remove Word components. After you originally install Word,

       Setup runs in maintenance mode. If you want to remove the

       entire Word program from your hard disk, choose the Remove All

       button. Setup removes the Word program and icons in Program

       Manager, but it does not remove the Word directory or the icon

       group.

       To add or remove certain components, choose the Add/Remove

       button. When you clear the check box for a Word component,

       Setup removes it from your current installation. Whenever you

       clear a check box, Setup displays the following message before

       it continues: "You have chosen to remove <N> component(s). Are

       you sure you want to remove it?"

       In the Maintenance Mode dialog box, you should clear only the

       check boxes for the components you want to remove. If you leave

       an item selected that's already installed, Setup will not

       reinstall it (so the process won't take too long).

2. Q. Word for Windows Setup stops before it is finished. How do

       I prevent this from happening?

    A. The Word Setup program may stop when it encounters conflicts

       with your system configuration. Use the following steps to

       successfully install Word:

       1. In your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, include only the

          devices or drivers necessary to run Windows and your

          computer. Remove any third-party shell programs such as the

          PC Tools™ shell or Norton Desktop. Refer to your Windows

          documentation for more information on configuring your

          system.

       2. In Windows, close all other applications, including virus-

          checking software and screen savers, before you run Word

          Setup.

       3. Make sure the PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file

          includes the complete path to your Windows directory,

          including the drive letter. For example, if C:\WINDOWS is

          your Windows directory, your path statement must include the

          following:

             path=c:\windows

           IMPORTANT: If you change the PATH statement, restart your

           computer so the change can take effect.

       4. If you are running Windows in 386 enhanced mode and the

          above steps do not help, start Windows in standard mode by

          typing  WIN/S  at the MS-DOS command prompt, and then run

          Word Setup.

       5. If you use the MS-DOS SUBST command to substitute a drive

          letter for the path to your SHARE.EXE file, Word Setup

          cannot find SHARE, even if it loads successfully from the MS-

          DOS command prompt and is already running on your computer.

          If this happens, remove the SUBST command from your

          AUTOEXEC.BAT file and restart your computer.

       6. Word for Windows requires SHARE.EXE to run. If Setup hangs

          or instructs you to install SHARE, add the following line to

          your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and then restart your computer so the

          change can take effect

             <path>\share.exe /L:500 /F:5100

          where <path> is the drive and directory where the SHARE.EXE

          file is located (usually the MS-DOS directory).

3. Q. What's the difference between the Typical and

       Complete/Custom Setup options?

    A. You can use the Complete/Custom option to install the entire

       Word package or to select certain Setup options. The Typical

       option installs all Word components except the following:

        - Dialog Editor

        - WordBasic Help (WRDBASIC.HLP)

        - ODBC files

        - Microsoft Graph and Microsoft Equation Editor

        - The MACRO subdirectory, which contains the following business

          letter template and macro files: CONVERT.DOT, LAYOUT.DOT,

          MACRO60.DOT, and TABLES.DOT

        - Two text converters:

             Word for Windows 6.0

             RFT-DCA

        - Four graphics filters:

             Micrografx Designer(TM)/Draw

             CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile)

             PCX

             CompuServe(R) GIF

4. Q. Can I install Word 6.0 over my installation of Word

       version 1.x or 2.x for Windows?

    A. Word 6.0 is designed to install over Word 1.x or 2.x files.

       However, to avoid any potential naming conflicts among

       templates and text files, you may want to install Word 6.0 in a

       new directory. You should also install Word 6.0 in a different

       directory if you want to retain your previous version of Word.

5. Q. How much hard disk space do I need to install Word 6.0?

    A. The Word Setup program offers several installation options with

       different disk space requirements.

        - For a Typical installation, you need approximately 18 megabytes

          (MB) of disk space (14 MB of disk space in the Word directory,

          plus 4 MB in the Windows directory).

        - For a Complete installation, you need approximately 25 MB of

          disk space (16 MB in the Word directory and 9 MB in the Windows

          directory).

        - For a Laptop/Minimum installation, you need approximately 5 MB

          of disk space (4.5 MB in the Word directory and .5 MB in the

          Windows directory).

       Make sure you have enough disk space for the type of

       installation you want to do before running Setup. To see

       precisely how much disk space you need, run Setup and select

       the options you want to install. Setup lists the disk space

       requirements in the bottom of the Setup dialog box.

6. Q. How do I set up Word 6.0 for shared use on a network?

    A. Setting up Word on network workstations is a two-step process.

       First, install Word on the network file server using the new /A

       Administrator Setup switch. Then set up the workstations,

       either by installing Word on each workstation's hard disk or by

       setting up the workstations to run Word from the file server.

       If your network supports the universal naming convention (UNC),

       you can start the workstation setup using the UNC path. This

       eliminates future problems with incorrect network drive-letter

       designations. In addition, you can create custom scripts to set

       up the workstation "silently," without input from the user. For

       detailed network installation instructions, see Appendix B in

       the "Microsoft Word User's Guide."

7. Q. How do I point to specific user directories when I set up

       Word 6.0 on a network?

    A. You can specify network user directories in the WINWORD6.INI

       file. For a full description of all the WINWORD6.INI settings,

       see the Word 6.0 README Help file. Use the following

       instructions to open the README Help file:

       1. Double-click the Help button on the Standard toolbar.

       2. Type README in the Search dialog box and then choose the

          Show Topics button.

       3. Choose the Go To button.

       4. Select the WINWORD6.INI Options jump text.

8. Q. I think I may have a damaged Word for Windows disk. What

       should I do?

    A. It is rare for a Word disk to be defective. To determine

       whether your disks are damaged, use the following steps:

       1. First, determine whether your computer can read high-density

          disks. The disks supplied with your Word for Windows package

          are high density. Check the reference manual for your

          computer to determine whether your computer can read high-

          density disks. If not, you can order low-density disks using

          the coupon supplied with your Word package or by phoning

          Microsoft Sales Information Center at (800) 426-9400.

       2. Check your Word disks using the MS-DOS CHKDSK command. If

          the disk is not defective, CHKDSK reports no errors. If the

          disk is defective, CHKDSK reports that your computer cannot

          read the disk. If CHKDSK reports errors, call Microsoft

          Product Support Services at (206) 462-WORD and speak with a

          Word for Windows support engineer.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This FastTip assumes you are familiar with a previous version of Word

for Windows and that you want more information to help you decide

whether to upgrade to Word 6.0. If you have already upgraded to Word

6.0, the information below is contained in Chapter 2, "What's New in

Word 6.0?," in the "Microsoft Word Quick Results" guide.

If you do not own a previous version of Word for Windows and want

general information about the product, call Microsoft Sales Information

Center at (800) 426-9400. If you are outside the United States, contact the

Microsoft subsidiary for your area. To locate your subsidiary, call

Microsoft International Customer Service at (206) 936-8661.

1. Q. Why did Word for Windows suddenly jump from version 2.0 to 6.0?

    A. This is the first version of Word in which we use the same core

       code for both Word for Windows and Word for the Macintosh(R).

       This means both products share the same file format, features,

       appearance, and documentation. To reflect this similarity, we

       decided to give both products the same version number. The

       current version of Word for the Macintosh is 5.1, so we

       couldn't use version 3.0. Therefore, version 6.0 was the

       logical choice.

2. Wizards and "Auto" Formatting Features

    Word includes the following features to automate and simplify the

    creation, formatting, and production of documents:

    1. Wizards: A "wizard" is an interactive Word feature that asks

       questions and then uses your answers to automatically lay out

       and format a certain type of document. A wizard is often the

       fastest way to create a letter, memo, resume, newsletter, or

       insert a table in a document.

    2. AutoCorrect: The AutoCorrect feature automatically corrects

       common typing mistakes as you work. For example, if you type "t-

       e-h", AutoCorrect replaces it with "the" as soon as you press

       the SPACEBAR. You can also use AutoCorrect to quickly insert

       words or phrases that are long or difficult to type. For

       example, use AutoCorrect to automatically replace "ASAP" with

       "as soon as possible".

    3. AutoFormat: The AutoFormat command formats document elements

       such as headings, tables, and bulleted lists by applying styles

       to each paragraph in the document. Once AutoFormat has applied

       styles to your table or text, you can quickly change the "look

       and feel" of your document using the Style Gallery command.

       Using AutoFormat, you can produce professional-looking letters,

       memos, and reports even when you're in a hurry.

    4. Heading Numbering and Bullets and Numbering: You can create

       numbered headings that Word automatically updates whenever you

       move, add, or delete a heading. You can create bulleted and

       numbered lists - even multiple-level lists for legal and

       technical documents. As you edit your list, Word renumbers the

       items automatically.

    5. AutoCaption and Cross-Reference: The AutoCaption feature

       automatically adds a caption label and number (such as "Table

       1") to a series of tables, graphics, or other items in a

       document. If you add, move, or delete items in a series of

       items, Word automatically updates the caption numbers. Use the

       Cross-Reference command to easily create cross-references to

       captions, headings, tables, and other items.

3. New Editing Features

    1. Multiple-Level Undo and Redo keeps track of your last 100

       editing and formatting changes. You can select one or more

       actions to undo using the Undo button on the Standard toolbar.

       If you decide that you'd like to keep one or more changes after

       you undo them, use the Redo button. For example, if you apply

       the wrong style to your document, you can undo it; then, if you

       change your mind, you can reapply the style using Redo. Of

       course, there are certain actions you cannot undo, such as

       saving or printing your document.

    2. You can now drag and drop text and graphics across windows. You

       can also drag items between applications.

    3. The Find and Replace commands are now both more flexible and

       more straightforward.

4. New Formatting and Style Options

    1. Format Painter: Using the Format Painter button, you can copy

       formatting. Just "pick up" the formatting that you want to copy

       and then "paint it" onto the text you want to format.

    2. Drop Cap: Automatically add a dropped capital letter, word, or

       graphic to a paragraph.

    3. Character Styles: Save character formatting as a character

       style and apply it in one step.

    4. Character Spacing and Automatic Kerning: Use character spacing

       to adjust the spacing that follows a letter or symbol. Use the

       new kerning capabilities of Word to control the spacing between

       certain letter pairs.

    5. Organizer Feature Helps You Copy and Manage Styles: You can now

       copy individual styles, macros, AutoText entries, and toolbars

       between documents and templates.

    6. Reveal Formats: You can use the Help button to display all the

       formatting information about selected text.

5. New Page Layout Choices

    1. Columns: Create newspaper-style columns of unequal width. You

       can now set the width of each column individually.

    2. Print Preview: Print preview can now show you more than two

       pages so you can get an overview of your entire document. In

       addition, you can drag text and graphics from one page to

       another and zoom in to edit text.

    3. Display Multiple Pages in Page Layout View: Using the Zoom

       command, you can display and edit multiple pages in page layout

       view.

    4. Table Headings: If a table spans more than one page, you can

       use the Table Headings command to automatically repeat the

       table headings on each page.

6. Mail Merge, Step by Step

    The Mail Merge Helper simplifies the creation of form letters by

    taking you through the basic steps for creating any type of mail

    merge document. You can create a letter and mailing list from

    "scratch," or use an existing document and data from Microsoft

    Access(R), Microsoft Excel, or another application.

    Print Envelopes and Labels Easily: Word walks you through the

    formerly time-consuming process of creating envelopes or mailing

    labels. You don't have to measure labels and change page setups

    anymore. Word can even add U.S. postal bar codes and Facing

    Identification Marks (FIM) to your envelopes.

7. Easier-to-Use Interface

    The following features make Word 6.0 easier and quicker for you to

    use:

    1. Toolbars: Word now has specialized toolbars that you can use

       for tasks that range from applying formatting to adding line

       drawings. You can display or hide toolbars individually, and

       you can move them around on the screen so they're accessible,

       yet out of the way as you work. You can also add, remove, and

       rearrange toolbar buttons. You can even create custom buttons

       (and create graphics for them) to run macros, apply formatting,

       or carry out commands that you use often. Word provides more

       than 300 built-in button faces that you can use to customize

       your toolbars.

    2. ToolTips help you identify toolbar buttons by displaying the

       name of the button when you point to the button and pause.

    3. Context-sensitive shortcut menus and an improved status bar

       help you work quickly.

    4. Full Screen View hides menus, toolbars, rulers, and other

       elements to maximize the text area on your screen.

    5. Drawing Layer: By using the tools on the Drawing toolbar, you

       can create drawing objects such as squares and polygons that

       you can use to create organization charts, flow charts, maps,

       and other line drawings. You can also add callouts to graphics.

       You can move a drawing object behind text and behind or in

       front of other drawing objects, and you can align objects by

       "snapping" them to a grid.

8. Customize Word with New Options

    The following new options make Word even more flexible than ever:

    1. You can add top-level menus to the menu bar, and you can place

       items on a menu in any order or position.

    2. You can create your own custom toolbars, and you can drag

       toolbar buttons from one toolbar to another.

    3. You can delete toolbar buttons or menu commands you don't use

       and add or regroup those you use most.

9. Workgroup Features

    Word includes the following new features to help you create,

    distribute, and produce documents in a workgroup:

    1. Master documents organize large, complex documents. Use a

       master document as a "container" to manage a long document that

       includes many subdocuments.

    2. Send documents to reviewers through electronic mail with the

       Add Routing Slip command. You can send a document to several

       reviewers simultaneously or route a single copy from one

       reviewer to another in the sequence that you specify.

    3. New Annotation features speed up reviews. You can now mark text

       for annotations so you don't have to retype it or describe it

       in your annotation. When you consider comments from others, you

       can view all annotations at once or only those from a single

       reviewer.

    4. Revision Tracking shows you who did what when. Revision marking

       now shows you who made a change and when the change was

       entered. You can display or hide revision marks as you edit a

       document and select the color and character formatting used to

       mark changes.

    5. Create Forms to fill in on-screen. The new Forms toolbar makes

       it easy to create a complex form with text fields, check boxes,

       and drop-down lists. You can even produce customized help text

       for each part of a form, and you can protect the form so users

       can only type in the designated spaces.

10. Getting Help and Learning Word

    Online Help is more accessible, context sensitive, and useful than

    ever before - just double-click the Help button and there it is!

    You can even keep step-by-step procedures in a separate How To

    window that remains visible as you work. Each command dialog box

    includes a context-sensitive Help button that takes you directly

    to Help for that command. Help includes examples and on-screen

    demonstrations, and it also contains extensive troubleshooting

    steps you can follow when you have a problem.

    Each time you start Word, you'll see a "Tip of the Day" about how

    to use Word more effectively. Tips tell you about new features,

    shortcuts, and new ways to use familiar features.

11. System Requirements

    If your computer can run Windows version 3.1, it can run Word 6.0.

    The hard disk and memory requirements vary, depending on how you

    install Word and how many Windows-based applications you run

    simultaneously. The following are the minimum requirements for

    installing and running Word:

     - An industry-standard computer with at least an 80286 or

       compatible microprocessor.

     - Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or later.

     - A hard disk and a 1.2 megabyte (MB) or greater capacity floppy

       disk drive.

     - To install Word, you need at least 5 MB of space available on

       your hard disk. To install the complete Word package, you need

       at least 24 MB of disk space.

     - To run Word, you need at least 4 MB of RAM.

     - EGA or better resolution monitor.

     - A Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device is recommended,

       but not required.

     - A printer is optional.

Backspace to Delete Paragraph Mark Changes Formatting

Article ID: Q105776

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

If you position the insertion point to the right of a paragraph mark

and press BACKSPACE, Word for Windows deletes the paragraph mark and

merges the text from that paragraph with the paragraph following the

insertion point. By design, Word applies the style of the second

paragraph to the merged paragraph.

The following two examples illustrate this behavior:

Example 1

---------

Paragraph 1 is formatted with the Heading 1 style, and Paragraph 2 is

formatted with the Heading 2 style. If you position the insertion

point to the right of the paragraph mark in Paragraph 1 and press

BACKSPACE, Word merges Paragraph 1 with Paragraph 2 and applies the

Heading 2 style to the merged paragraph.

Example 2

---------

Paragraph 1 is formatted with the Heading 3 style, and Paragraph 2 is

formatted with the Normal style. If you backspace over the Paragraph

1 paragraph mark, Word merges the two paragraphs and formats it with

the Normal style.

MORE INFORMATION

================

This behavior differs from that of previous versions of Word for

Windows and Word for the Macintosh, in which you cannot delete a

paragraph mark or remove style formatting by pressing BACKSPACE.

Word Is Slow Finding Previous Record in Data Document

Article ID: Q105777

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In a mail merge main document, when you choose the Previous Record

button on the Mail Merge toolbar, Word for Windows may find the record

very slowly, especially if the current record is near the end of a

large database.

CAUSE

=====

Word counts from the beginning of the data document to find the

previous record. After you choose the Previous Record button on the

Mail Merge toolbar, Word displays the following message on the status

bar:

   Word is reading record NNN

Note: NNN is the number of the record Word is reading as it counts

from the beginning of the data document.

For example, if 381 displays in the Go To Record box on the Mail Merge

toolbar and you choose the Previous Record button, Word reads from

record 1 to record 380 and displays the count on the status bar.

Word does not cache the results of any sorting or query operations you

perform on a data document, which means Word cannot go directly to a

data record based on its current position in the data document. As a

result, Word must start from the beginning of the data document and

find each record, in order.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Macro Recorder Turns Off After Tools Protect Document

Article ID: Q105778

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you turn on the macro recorder and then protect your document for

forms using the following steps, Word for Windows automatically stops

the macro recorder:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

2. Type a name in the Macro Name box and then choose the Record

   button.

3. Choose OK in the Record Macro dialog box.

4. From the Tools menu, choose Protect Document.

5. Select the Forms option and then choose OK. Notice that the Macro

   Record toolbar disappears, and REC on the status bar turns off.

NOTE: Word does not turn off the macro recorder if you protect your

document for revisions or annotations.

CAUSE

=====

Word turns off the macro recorder because in a document protected

for forms, the Macro command on the Tools menu is unavailable. No

message appears to notify you that the macro recorder is no longer

running.

Deleted Text Copied to Clipboard with Revision Marks On

Article ID: Q105780

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you copy text that contains Revisions Marks, any deleted text

within the selection is written to the Clipboard.

STATUS

======

This feature (not copying the deleted text) is under review and

will be considered for inclusion in a future release.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When you turn on Revision Marks and activate the "Show Revisions on

Screen" and "Mark Revisions while Editing" options, deleted text will

display on the screen with a strikethrough. If you copy revised text

to the Clipboard, the new, nondeleted, and deleted text are all

written to the Clipboard.

When you paste text into a document with Revision Marks on

(activated), Word will not paste the deleted text. However, when you

paste text into a document with Revision Marks cleared (not activated)

or into an application that does not interpret the revision

information, the deleted text will paste.

Relationship Between Available Disk Space and Conversions

Article ID: Q105781

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 for Windows creates temporary files necessary for the

conversion of Word for Windows documents into other file formats. To

successfully convert a Word document, you must have enough available

disk space to accommodate the temporary file, the normal document file,

and the final converted file.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The size and number of these files will vary with the size and type of

the Word document you are converting. The drive containing the

temporary (TEMP) directory (specified in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file by

SET TEMP=) will require the most space. The drive where the file is

saved will require enough space for the final converted file. If a

drive does not contain adequate space, a "Cannot write file" error

will occur.

Documents containing OLE objects ("compound documents") require extra

temporary files to store the objects for conversion. The process of

conversion is as follows (steps required for compound documents are

denoted by "*").

After you specify a name and select an alternative file format in the

File Save As dialog box, and choose the OK button, the following

occurs:

 1. Word creates a temporary file in the TEMP directory. This file is

    the document in rich-text format (RTF).

*2. The converter reads this file and creates a temporary file to

    store OLE objects for conversion. This file is stored in the TEMP

    directory. The size of this file is dependent upon the number and

    type of OLE objects.

 3. The converter creates the final output file in the specified

    format. This file is located in the drive and directory specified

    in File Save As dialog box.

 4. Word deletes the temporary file created in step 1.

*5. The converter creates a temporary file to store OLE objects that

    were saved in the final output file. This file is located in the

    TEMP directory.

    Word accesses OLE objects via the OLE docfiles** specification. At

    this point the converted document is still open in Word.

    Therefore, Word must create a file in the docfiles format so that

    objects can be displayed or activated.

    When the document is closed, the temporary file is deleted.

*6. Word deletes the temporary file created in step 2.

**"Docfiles" is a file format, specified by the OLE 2.0 specification,

  that allows for the implementation of OLE processes. In this format

  objects are saved in "data streams" (similar in concept to

  subdirectories of main directories in the MS-DOS file model) separate

  from the main application file stream.

Converting a file (not of Word 6.0 format) by opening it within Word

causes the creation of a temporary file (step 5) if the originating

file contains OLE objects.

FindFile List is Empty on When Searching a Network Drive

Article ID: Q105782

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When using the FindFile feature in Word for Windows version 6.0, trying to

locate files on a network drive may produce an empty list.  This can happen

when any number of special characters, like an underscore, period or space

are a part of the network name. This may also occur if the network drive

specified does not exist or the drive is password protected and Word does

not know the password. In either case, no error message is returned.

Note: The Novell Netware parameter, Maximum Outstanding NCP Searches =,

will product similar symptoms. Try increasing the maximum.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

In order to work around this problem, add the following line to the

WINWORD6.INI file in the [Microsoft Word] section to tell Word for Windows

to use the drive letter:

   NoLongNetNames=Yes

MORE INFORMATION

================

When a network drive is specified, Word for Windows uses the UNC name

rather than the drive letter to reference that drive. For example,

given a network connection q:\\servername\sharename and a search from

File Find, the Search List under File Find will record the net drive

as \\servername\sharename by default. But if the NoLongNetNames=Yes

line is included in the WINWORD6.INI under the [Microsoft Word]

section, the Search List will record q: for the net drive.

UNC redirection is supported by Microsoft LAN Manager versions 1.1 and

later and by 100-percent-LAN-Manager-compatible networks.

For more information on UNC support in Microsoft Windows, query on

the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   UNC and windows and 3.1 and convention

When Find File searches a network drive that does not exist, no error

message is returned. If the drive does exist but is password protected and

you have not connected to the drive in this Windows session, Word does not

prompt you for the password, but instead acts as though the drive was

searched and no files were found. If you connect to the password-protected

network drive and then search for the file using Word Find File before you

exit and restart Windows, Word will search the drive and return an accurate

list of files on the drive.

Cannot Replace Border or Shading Formats

Article ID: Q105783

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You cannot find or replace border or shading formatting using the Find

and Replace commands on the Edit menu in Word for Windows. Word does

not include the Borders And Shading command on the Format drop-down

list in the Edit Replace and Edit Find dialog boxes.

WORKAROUND

==========

Create a style with the border and shading formats you want to find or

replace, then use that style as search criteria or replacement

formatting in the Edit Replace dialog box, as described in the

following instructions:

 1. From the Format menu, choose Style.

 2. Choose the New button.

 3. Type or select a name in the Name box.

 4. Choose the Format button and from the list that appears, select Border.

 5. Select the border and shading settings you want and then choose OK.

 6. If the style is for current document only, do not select the Add

    to Template option. Choose OK in the New Style dialog box.

 7. Choose the Close button in the Format Styles dialog box.

 8. From the Edit menu, choose Replace.

 9. To search for text based on the border and shading formats,

    position the insertion point in the Find What box and then choose

    the Format button. On the list that appears, select Style.

    -or-

    To replace with the border and shading formats, position the

    insertion point in the Replace With box and then choose the Format

    button. On the list that appears, select Style.

10. Choose the Find Next, Replace, or Replace All button.

Insert Break, File Page Setup, and Format Columns Unavailable

Article ID: Q105812

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b,

   2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for NT Windows, verison 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word version 6.0, the Insert Break, File Page Setup, and Format Columns

commands are unavailable if the insertion point is in a frame. Similarly,

in Word versions 2.x for Windows, the Insert Break command is unavailable

if the insertion point is in a frame.

CAUSE

=====

These commands are unavailable because frames cannot extend beyond a

page break and frames cannot contain multiple columns. Many of the

features available through File Page Setup and Insert Break will cause

page breaks or Next Page section breaks to be inserted. Since frames

cannot span a page break, features that create page breaks are

disabled when the insertion point is in a frame.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In Word 2.x, the Format Page Setup and Format Columns commands are

available, but if you use these commands while the insertion point is

in a frame, Word applies the formatting to the section in which the

frame is located. This behavior is somewhat misleading, so Microsoft

decided to disable the Insert Break and Format Columns commands in

Word 6.0 when the insertion point is in a frame.

Dialog Editor Removes Subscript Numbers from Array

Article ID: Q105820

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word Dialog Editor, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you copy a WordBasic dialog box definition that contains an array

and paste it in the Word Dialog Editor, the subscript numbers in the

array are missing when you paste the dialog definition back in your

macro.

CAUSE

=====

The Word Dialog Editor does not recognize the subscript numbers (also

referred to as index numbers) in an array, so it removes them. When

you paste the dialog definition back into your macro, you must

manually add the subscripts back to the array.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Word Dialog

Editor supplied with Word version 6.0 for Windows. We are researching

this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft

Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

For example, you can copy the following dialog box definition and

paste it in Word Dialog Editor:

   Begin Dialog UserDialog 727, 191, "Test"

      OptionGroup  .OptionGroup1

         OptionButton 21, 28, 112, 16, option$(0)

         OptionButton 21, 45, 112, 16, option$(1)

         OptionButton 21, 62, 112, 16, option$(2)

   End Dialog

If you copy the resulting dialog box and paste it back into your Word

for Windows macro, it appears as follows (the subscript numbers in

each identifier are missing):

   Begin Dialog UserDialog 727, 191, "Test"

      OptionGroup  .OptionGroup1

         OptionButton 21, 28, 112, 16, option$

Line Number Font Doesn't Follow Default Paragraph Font

Article ID: Q105821

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0, the Line Number character style formatting changes with the

Normal style font definition, even though the style is based on the Default

Paragraph Font.

The Line Number character style behaves differently than other

character styles that are based on the Default Paragraph Font, such as

Annotation Reference and Footnote Reference.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior is by design. Changing line numbers to reflect

individual paragraph fonts would produce unprofessional documents.

Line numbers need to be consistent throughout a document, without

reflecting font changes in the text.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Default Paragraph Font character style is defined as the font of

the underlying paragraph style and is the underlying style for such

character styles in Word 6.0 as Annotation Reference, Footnote

Reference, and Line Number. In general, the Default Paragraph Font

feature allows character styles to take on the font formatting of the

paragraph they are in.

The Line Number character style is based on Default Paragraph Font.

However, line number formatting actually changes based on the format

of the Normal style font formatting.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

--------------------------

1. Start a new document in Word for Windows.

2. From the View menu, choose Page Layout.

3. From the File menu, choose Page Setup. Select the Layout tab.

   Choose the Line Numbers button, and select Add Line Numbering.

   Choose OK twice.

4. Type in a few lines of text and highlight the text.

5. From the Format menu, choose Style. Choose New and accept the style

   name offered (for example, Style1). Choose the Format button and from

   the list that appears, select Font. Change the font to Arial and color

   to Red.

6. Choose OK twice, then choose Apply to apply Style1 style to the

   selected text.

Result: The line numbers are formatted with the Normal style font

formatting instead of the Style1 font formatting.

Word Prompts to Save When Closing Already-Saved File

Article ID: Q105824

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word may prompt you to save a file when you close it, even if you just

saved it or made no changes to the file.

CAUSE

=====

When you close a file, Word prompts you to save if the file is any format

other than Word 6.0. This happens because Word changes the document status

to "dirty" (that is, flags the file as changed) whenever you save the file

in a foreign file format. Word does this to remind you that you may lose

any Word 6.0 formatting that is not supported by the foreign file format.

Cannot Go to Bookmark in a Subdocument

Article ID: Q105885

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use the Go To command in Word for Windows, you cannot go from one

subdocument (or document component) to a bookmark in another subdocument or

the main body of the document. Similarly, you cannot go from the main body

of a document to a bookmark in a subdocument. In other words, you cannot go

from one layer of a document to a bookmark in another layer. The bookmark

does not appear on the Bookmark Name list in the Edit Go To dialog boxes.

In the Edit Bookmark dialog box, the Go To button is unavailable when you

select a bookmark in another layer or subdocument.

Note: The main body of the document is what you can see in normal view. The

following document elements are examples of subdocuments or document

components: headers or footers, footnotes, endnotes, annotations, text

boxes, or callouts. As used in this article, the word "subdocument" refers

to document components and not to the documents in a master document.

Examples

--------

1. You cannot go from a header to a bookmark in a footnote, and you

   cannot go from the main body to a bookmark in the header.

2. If you create a text box (using the Text Box button on the Drawing

   toolbar) and then insert a bookmark in that text box, you cannot go

   to the bookmark unless you position the insertion point in the text

   box. If your insertion point is in the main body of the document or

   in any other layer of the document, you cannot go to the bookmark

   using the Go To command. In other words, you cannot go from the

   drawing layer in one subdocument to a bookmark in the drawing layer

   of the main body or another subdocument.

   You can, however, go from one text box in the drawing layer of the

   main body to a bookmark in another text box in the drawing layer of

   the main body because both text boxes are in the same layer of the

   same subdocument.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

 - Position the insertion point in the subdocument before you go to the

   bookmark.

   -or-

 - Write a WordBasic macro that goes to the textbox and searches for a

   bookmark. The following macro searches for the first textbox in the

   document and locates the bookmark "test".

   Sub main

   DrawSetRange "\Doc"

   Select Case DrawGetType(1)

     Case 3   'Text box

        DrawSetInsertToTextbox 1

     Case 8   'Callout

        DrawSetInsertToTextbox 1

     Case Else

   End Select

   EditGoTo .Destination = "test"

   End Sub

MORE INFORMATION

================

There is an exception to the above behavior. If the insertion point is

in a header or footer when you choose Go To from the Edit menu, Word

moves the insertion point into the body of the document and returns it

to the last position before you switched to the header or footer. This

means you cannot go to a bookmark in the header or footer using the Go

To command on the Edit menu. This does not happen when you use the

Bookmark command on the Edit menu and choose the Go To button; the

insertion point stays in the header or footer and you can go to your

Merge Envelope Prints Field Names or First Data Record

Article ID: Q105887

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print an envelope using Word 6.0, field names or the

information from the first data record, rather than individual record

information, is printing on the envelope.

CAUSE

=====

In a mail merge document, if field codes are showing when you choose

Envelopes And Labels from the Tools menu, Word will place the text

that appears in the fields, rather than the fields themselves, on the

envelope.

For example, if the fields showing are similar to the following:

   {MERGEFIELD firstname} {MERGEFIELD lastname}

   {MERGEFIELD address}

   {MERGEFIELD city}, {MERGEFIELD state}  {MERGEFIELD zip}

Word will show the following in the Delivery Address when you choose

Envelopes And Labels:

   MERGEFIELD firstname MERGEFIELD lastname

   MERGEFIELD address

   MERGEFIELD city, MERGEFIELD state  MERGEFIELD zip

If the main document in is in View Data mode (specific record

information is showing in chevrons) when the envelope is created, Word

will place the individual record information on all of the envelopes.

If you choose Add To Document, the text will be placed on the envelope

page. If you choose Print, the text will print on an envelope.

RESOLUTION

==========

Turn off field codes and the "merged information" view before choosing

Envelopes And Labels, so that the field names appear in chevrons, like

this:

   <<firstname>> <<lastname>>

   <<address>>

   <<city>>, <<state>>  <<zip>>

There are two ways to do this:

Method 1

--------

Press ALT+F9.

Method 2

--------

From the Tools menu, choose Options. Select the View tab. Clear the

Field Codes check box.

Can't Use Result of Form Field in Conditional Statement

Article ID: Q105890

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Word 6.0, the results of form fields can be referenced elsewhere in

the document, but they cannot be used in conditional statements. This

is because form fields are considered "display fields," which means

their results are pictures, not text strings that can be evaluated.

For example, if you have a drop-down box whose bookmark name is

"dropdown1", and you use the following field to evaluate the result of

dropdown1:

     {if dropdown1 = "female" "Dear Ms." "Dear Mr."}

the result of this field will always be "Dear Mr.", regardless of what

option was selected in the drop-down box.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Results of form fields can be reproduced elsewhere in the document

with the REF field. Syntax of this field is:

   {REF bookmarkname}

The bookmarkname can be the default name given to the bookmark, or a

custom name. To find the bookmark name, choose Form Field from the

Insert menu, then choose Options.

You can create a macro to convert the result of the form field to

text.

Shading of Field in Frame Is Taller Than Field

Article ID: Q105891

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0, field shading extends from the top of a frame to the

bottom of the frame if a field is inside a frame that has been

enlarged. The shading is tall, even though the field is not.

CAUSE

=====

By design, the shading is extended when the field is the last item in

the frame.

WORKAROUND

==========

Insert another paragraph mark at the end of the field, to make

the field shading resume its normal height.

MORE INFORMATION

================

You can set Field Shading to Never, Always, or When Selected by

choosing Options from the Tools menu, and then choosing the View tab.

TA, TC, XE, PRIVATE, Fields Shaded When Nested in Other Fields

Article ID: Q105892

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

There are four fields in Word 6.0 that are not shaded, even when they

are selected and Field Shading is set to Always or When Selected: the

TA, TC, XE, and PRIVATE fields. However, if any of these fields is

inserted inside a different field, it will be shaded just like the

rest of the field.

MORE INFORMATION

================

These four fields are called "dead" because they don't display a

result--they are merely used by other fields. Any non-dead field will

be highlighted when Field Shading is turned on.

You can set Field Shading to Never, Always, or When Selected by

choosing Options from the Tools menu, and then by choosing the View

tab.

How to Toggle Field Codes Off and On in Word 6.0

Article ID: Q105893

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Word versions 1.x and 2.x for Windows, you can toggle field codes for an

entire document on (showing the field codes, rather than their results) or

off (showing the results) by choosing Field Codes from the View menu. In

Word 6.0, this option is available by choosing Options from the Tools menu,

selecting the View tab, and selecting (turning on) or clearing (turning

off) the Field Codes check box.

A quick way to toggle field codes display is to press ALT+F9. No other

field shortcut keys have changed between versions.

In Word version 6.0, you can add Field Codes to the View menu using the

following procedure:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Customize. Select the Menu tab.

2. From the Categories box, select All Commands.

3. From the Commands box, select ViewFieldCodes.

4. In the Change What Menu box, select &View.

5. Choose the Add button. Choose Close.

To save the change, choose Save All from the File menu.

When the ViewFieldCodes button has been added to a toolbar, and field codes

are toggled on or off with the keyboard (ALT+F9), the button does not show

the new state of the field codes until the user moves the insertion point

or clicks the mouse.

AutoSave Files Not Opened When User Is Low on Resources

Article ID: Q105895

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When Automatic Save is active and you restart Word 6.0 after your

computer hangs (stops responding) or after a loss of power, Automatic

Save will rename all of its files from *.ASD to *.BAK before it

attempts to recover them. (To verify that Automatic Save Every is

selected, choose Options from the Tools menu and select the Save tab.)

This may cause a problem if you are low on memory when you restart

Word. All of the files previously loaded may not be reloaded due to

lack of system resources.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When more automatically saved (AutoSave) files exist than are

recovered, you can open the files by going to the subdirectory where

AutoSave files are stored. To determine this location, choose Options

from the Tools menu, select the File Locations tab, and check the

location for AutoSave Files.

Search the indicated directory for *.BAK files and open them as you

would open any file in Word. If no location entry exists for the

AutoSave files, open the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and locate the line that

begins "Set Temp=". The directory indicated after this statement will

be the directory to search for the *.BAK files.

Word renames the AutoSave files to *.BAK so that Word won't hang if

one or more of the files are found to be corrupted when Word attempts

to reopen these documents.

Last Paragraph Mark Has Small "Hot" Area for Reporting Formats

Article ID: Q105896

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

To check the formatting on the last paragraph mark in a document, you

must click the Help button on the Standard toolbar or press SHIFT+F1.

This action turns the insertion point into a question mark with an

arrow. You should then click the pointer on the left side of the last

paragraph mark. This selects the last paragraph mark and brings up a

box describing the paragraph and character formats for the last

paragraph mark.

Clicking the paragraph mark or clicking to the right side of the

paragraph mark only produces a system beep and the formats for the

paragraph mark are not shown.

To check the formatting on any other character or paragraph mark, you

can click anywhere on the character or paragraph mark. The hot area

for the last paragraph mark happens to be smaller and is limited to

the left edge.

Bookmark Errors in FORMULA or Text Form Fields

Article ID: Q105899

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you define a bookmark whose name has one or two letters plus a

number (such as BM1 or ZZ4096) and then insert a FORMULA field that

performs a calculation using the bookmark reference, one of the

following field errors may appear in place of the field result:

   !Error at <bookmarkname>

   !Error <bookmarkname> is not in table.

If the calculation is part of a FORMTEXT (Text Form) field definition,

nothing happens when you update the Text Form field, and no result

appears.

Note: The "!Error <bookmarkname> is not in table" error occurs if the

FORMULA field is located in a table.

For example, if you insert and then update the following fields, the

field error occurs in place of the FORMULA field:

   {set BM1 1}

   {set BM2 2}

   {=BM1+BM2}

CAUSE

=====

In a FORMULA field, Word considers bookmark names that consist of one

or two letters plus a number to be table cell references instead of

bookmark names. Cell references take precedence over bookmarks, so if

the bookmark does not reference a valid table cell in the document,

the FORMULA field yields an error instead of a result.

RESOLUTION

==========

Change the bookmark name so Word no longer thinks it is a table cell

reference. For example, change "BM1" to "BAM1", or change "ZZ4096" to

"ZZZ4096".

How to Automatically Use ODBC Rather Than DDE

Article ID: Q105900

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When you open a database file or attach a data file for a print merge

in Word, Word will use DDE by default to gather the information. To

automatically use ODBC, follow the directions below.

WORKAROUND #1

=============

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT

YOUR OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without

Template Macros, Toolbars, Keyboard, and Menu Assignments Lost

Article ID: Q105906

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Word 6.0, clicking the right mouse button in a table no longer

SelInfo Function Counts Heading Row of Table Only Once

Article ID: Q105908

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Word 6.0, the heading row of a table is counted only once by the

SelInfo(15) command, regardless of how many times the header row

appears in the document.

For example, if a table consists of 100 rows, and spans 3 pages,

SelInfo(15) will return the number "101". It counts the actual number

of rows in the table (100) and adds the heading row once.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The SelInfo command returns information about the insertion

point. Type 15 returns the number of rows in the table.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

========

When you add headings to a table by choosing the Headings command from the

Table menu, Word does not display the headings at the top of each page on

which the table appears in normal view. Word only displays the headings at

the top of the table.

By contrast, Word displays the table headings at the top of each page

on which the table appears in page layout view or print preview.

CAUSE

=====

Once you activate the Headings command, Word considers the table

heading rows to be headers instead of table rows and, as with normal

headers, Word does not display them in normal view.

Word Dialog Boxes Appear Maximized with TopDesk Running

Article ID: Q105913

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

If you start Word for Windows from the TopDesk virtual desktop, the

"Tip of the Day" and all subsequent dialog boxes maximize.

CAUSE

=====

TopDesk sends Windows maximize calls when you start a Windows-based

application. These calls maximize the application, then they maximize

any dialog boxes that appear at startup, such as "Tip of the Day."

TopDesk then continues to maximize any dialog box as it appears.

If no start-up dialog boxes appear, TopDesk does not maximize any

dialog boxes.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Turn off the "Tip of the Day" option in Word to prevent TopDesk from

maximizing the Word dialog boxes.

MORE INFORMATION

================

TopDesk is a virtual desktop supplied with Microsoft Windows Resource

Kit version 2.0.

In Word version 2.x for Windows, a similar problem occurs if you run

an AutoExec macro that opens a dialog box at startup. For example, if

your AutoExec macro runs the MsgBox statement, TopDesk maximizes the

resulting Message Box dialog box.

Mail Merge: Blank Lines Not Suppressed in Last Line in Table

Article ID: Q105914

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Word Mail Merge helper will not suppress blank lines

in the Merged Information view if the blank line occurs on the last

line in a table cell in the main document.

The blank lines will correctly be suppressed when the document is

merged to either a new document or directly to a printer.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In the following example, the blank line is correctly suppressed for

the first record but not for the second record when you choose the

Merged Information button on the Mail Merge toolbar.

Main Document:

|-----------------------------------|

| {Mergefield Name}<paragraph>      |

| {Mergefield Number}<end of cell>  |

|-----------------------------------|

Data File:

Name,Number

,88

Word User,

WORKAROUND 1

============

Include the last paragraph mark inside of a conditional by replacing

the mergefields with the following:

   {MERGEFIELD Name}{if {MERGEFIELD Number} <> "" "[paragraph mark]

   {MERGEFIELD Number}"}

This workaround suppresses the blank line in Merged Information view.

One drawback is that the blank line continues to display if the last

two MERGEFIELDS in a table cell are empty. Also, the field name for

any fields inside an IF statement display as the field results in both

views.

WORKAROUND 2

============

The blank line will be suppressed if the MERGEFIELDS are followed by a

paragraph mark rather than the end of cell marker. To force

suppression of the blank lines in Merged Information view:

1. Position the insertion point immediately after the last field in

   the cell and press ENTER to create a paragraph mark.

2. With the insertion point in the new blank line, choose Paragraph

   from the Format menu.

3. In the Line Spacing box, select Exactly and type "0.01"" (without

   the quotation marks) in the At box. Choose OK.

Formatting Lost Pasting Label Address Text

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you choose Envelopes And Labels from the Tools menu, select the

Labels tab, cut or copy text that contains character formatting (such

as underline, bold, or italic) in the Address box, and paste it in

that same box, Word loses the character formatting.

For example, if you cut some underlined text in the Address box and

paste it back in the Address box, Word pastes it without the underline

character formatting.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word. We

are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

You can reapply formatting to text in the Tools Envelopes and Labels dialog

box using the keyboard shortcut keys (for example, press CTRL+U or CTRL+B

for underline or bold character formatting). CTRL+D or clicking the right

mouse button to produce the shortcut menu can be used to access the Font

menu. This is possible because the Tools Envelopes and Labels dialog box is

a Rich Text Edit (RTE) dialog box.

Picture Resizes When Exiting Word 6.0 Picture Editor

Article ID: Q105950

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You double-click a picture in Word 6.0, it opens in the Word Picture

Editor, and when you close it, your picture has changed size.

CAUSE

=====

If you set your default picture editor to MSDraw and then remove

MSDraw from your system or move it to a different location, the Word

6.0 Picture Editor will be loaded when you double-click a picture.

When you close the Word 6.0 Picture Editor, your picture will have

changed size because the Picture Editor scales pictures differently

than MSDraw.

(Note: To set your default picture editor, choose Options Edit from

the Tools menu.)

SOLUTION

========

Update the REG.DAT file by remerging the WINWORD6.REG file located in

the Word for Windows directory. Here are the steps to do this:

1. From Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu.

2. On the command line, type "regedit" (without the quotation marks)

   and choose the OK button.

3. From the File menu of the Registration Editor, choose Merge

   Registration File.

4. Change to the Word for Windows directory, select WINWORD6.REG, and

   choose OK.

   A message should appear telling you the information has been

   successfully merged.

5. Exit Windows and restart Windows to read the updated information.

MORE INFORMATION

================

This problem occurs because the REG.DAT file is no longer up to date

once you remove MSDraw from your system or move it to a different

location. When you double-click a picture in Word, your system tries

to find the default editor, MSDraw, but cannot. Therefore, it defaults

to the Word 6.0 Picture Editor.

Since the REG.DAT file still indicates that MSDraw is the editor, the

picture is handled as if it were in MSDraw, even though it is actually

loaded into the Word 6.0 Picture Editor. MSDraw and the Word 6.0

Picture Editor scale pictures differently, so when you close the

Picture Editor, the picture gets improperly scaled.

How Word Determines What to Display in the Convert Dialog Box

Article ID: Q105951

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

You can convert an embedded object to a different file format by selecting

another application as the source application for the object. For example,

suppose you receive a Word document that has a Microsoft Excel worksheet

embedded in it. Although you do not have Microsoft Excel installed on your

computer, you can specify another application to use for future editing of

the embedded worksheet.

To activate the Convert dialog box, first select the object you want to

edit. Choose the name of the object you want to edit from the bottom of the

Edit menu, then choose Convert.

This article describes what criteria Word uses to display the list of

applications in the Convert dialog box.

MORE INFORMATION

================

For applications to be listed in the Convert dialog box, they must support

OLE 2.0 and be able to convert the file type listed in the REG.DAT

conversion section. For example, Word is listed as being able to convert

Word documents. The convert option is for OLE 2.0 objects only. You cannot

use the Convert dialog box to convert your Word documents to another file

format.

In the REG.DAT file, a key called Conversion is associated with each class.

From this key there are two subkeys: Readable (Convert) and Readwriteable

(ActivateAs). Each of these keys has a list of formats.

For example:

   Microsoft Word 6.0 Document

       |

       |--Conversion

             |

             |-- Readable

             |-- Main = MSWordDoc,WordDocument

In this example, the list tells applications that Word can be listed in the

Convert dialog box as an application that can "Convert" Word documents.

Note that because there is no Readwritable key, Word would not be listed

as an application that can "Activate As" a Word object.

For more information, see the "Converting an Embedded Object to a Different

Format" section in Chapter 28, "Exchanging Information with Other

Applications," in "Microsoft Word User's Guide" for version 6.0.

New Toolbar Title Displays as "Toc" When Toolbar Is Floating

Article ID: Q106011

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you create a new toolbar in Word for Windows and position it as a

floating toolbar, the title displays as "Toc" if the toolbar contains

only one button. If you add an additional button, the title changes to

"Toolbar1".

CAUSE

=====

On a floating toolbar that contains only one button, there is not

enough room to display the complete toolbar title. As a result, Word

truncates the word "Toolbar1" in the middle of the second "o", so the

toolbar title appears to read "Toc".

WORKAROUND

==========

After you create a new toolbar, you can rename it using the Rename

button in the Organizer dialog box.

To open the Organizer dialog box, choose the Organizer button in the

Format Style, File Template, or Tools Macro dialog box.

How to Add Postal Bar Code to Multiple or Single Labels

Article ID: Q106012

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes a method you can use to add POSTNET (Postal

Numeric Encoding Technique) bar codes to mailing labels using the

Envelopes And Labels command on the Tools menu. The Envelopes And

Labels command does not include a feature that adds FIM (Facing

Identification Mark) bar codes to your labels, so you must do it by

inserting a BARCODE field in your address.

When you print labels using the mail merge helper, you can add a

postal bar code by choosing the Insert Postal Bar Code button in the

Create Labels dialog box. However, the Insert Postal Bar Code feature

is not part of the Envelopes and Labels command.

Note: The Delivery Point Bar Code option, in the Envelopes And Labels

dialog box, is available only if your label is at least 3.1 inches wide

and United States is the Windows International Country setting.

However, you can always create this type of bar code by inserting a

BARCODE field, regardless of the label width and International Country

settings. However, if you insert a BARCODE field manually because the

Delivery Point Bar Code option is unavailable, the bar code may not

fit on the label.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Use the following procedure to add bar codes to the labels you create

using the Envelopes And Labels command:

1. Insert one of the following BARCODE fields in your document or in

   the Address box in the Envelopes And Labels dialog box:

      Syntax                             Example

      ------                             -------

      {BARCODE \u "Literal Text"}        {BARCODE \u "99999-0000"}

      -or-

      {BARCODE <BookmarkName> \b \u}     {BARCODE MyZIPCode \b \u}

   Note: <BookmarkName> is a bookmark name that defines either

   the entire mailing address or only the nine-digit ZIP code.

If you insert the BARCODE field in your document, select the address

and then choose Envelopes And Labels from the Tools menu. Word places

the selected text in the Address box.

Alternatively, you can type the address and insert the BARCODE field

in the Envelopes And Labels dialog box (the CTRL+F9, SHIFT+F9, and F9

key combinations all work in the Envelopes And Labels dialog box).

This is possible because the Envelopes And Labels dialog box is a Rich

Text Edit dialog box.

Straight and Smart Quotes Under AutoCorrect and AutoFormat

Article ID: Q106013

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word provides two ways of automatically changing straight

quotation marks (those entered from the keyboard) to smart quotation

marks (the "curly", or "typographical" quotation marks). The two

methods are found under different menus, and are independent of each

other. One method changes the marks as you type them, the other

changes them after they've been typed. This article describes the

differences between the two.

AutoCorrect's "Change 'Straight Quotes' to 'Smart Quotes'"

----------------------------------------------------------

All items listed in the AutoCorrect dialog box are changes Word makes

to the document as you type it. An "x" in the "Change 'Straight

Quotes' to 'Smart Quotes'" box means that when you first type a

quotation mark, Word will change it to an open quotation mark. The

second quotation mark you type will be changed to a closed quotation

mark.

To find this dialog box, choose AutoCorrect from the Tools menu.

If AutoCorrect is selected and the font in use does not support the "smart

quotes", a pipe symbol (vertical line) will appear in the document or, on

the printed page, instead of quotes.

AutoFormat's "Replace Straight Quotes with Smart Quotes"

--------------------------------------------------------------

Everything listed in this dialog box is a change that takes place when

you run the AutoFormatter. The AutoFormat feature makes a guess as to

what your document ought to look like and applies new formatting. This

feature is generally used after a document has been typed, or to

format a document that was created in another format, such as ASCII or

Word for MS-DOS.

To find this dialog box, choose Options from the Tools menu, then

select the AutoFormat tab.

To automatically format a document, either click the AutoFormat button

on the Standard toolbar or choose AutoFormat from the Format menu.

Error When Starting Application from Word's Microsoft Toolbar

Article ID: Q106014

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you start a Microsoft application by choosing its button on the

Microsoft toolbar, the following error message may appear in Word for

Windows:

   Word cannot find or run the application, <Name Of Application>

If you choose the Microsoft Mail button on the Microsoft toolbar, one

of the following Microsoft Mail error messages may occur:

   The shared Mail extensions list at .\SHARED.INI could not be found.

   -and then-

   An entry in the list of Mail extensions contains a syntax error

   and will be ignored.

CAUSE

=====

The Microsoft application is not registered correctly in the Windows

registration database (REG.DAT).

To confirm that this is actually the problem, start the Microsoft

application from Windows Program Manager instead. If the application

starts without displaying any error messages, the application is not

correctly registered in your REG.DAT file.

RESOLUTION 1

============

Do the following to correctly register the application in your REG.DAT

file:

1. Start the application from its icon in Program Manager.

2. Switch to Word.

3. Choose the application's button on the Microsoft toolbar. Word

   automatically adds an MSToolbar key to the REG.DAT file that

   includes the path to that application's program file.

RESOLUTION 2

============

Alternatively, you can manually correct your REG.DAT file using the

following instructions:

1. In Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu.

2. In the Command Line box, type "regedit /v" (without the quotation

   marks) and choose OK. This starts Registration Info Editor.

3. From the Search menu, choose Find Key.

4. In the Find What box, type "MSToolbar" (without the quotation

   marks) and choose OK.

5. From the Edit menu, choose Add Key.

6. In the Key box, type the name of the application. For example, type

   "MSAccess" or "MSMail" for Microsoft Access or Microsoft Mail,

   respectively.

7. In the Value box, type the path to the program file for the

   application and then choose OK. For example, type

   "C:\ACCESS\MSACCESS.EXE" if you are registering Microsoft Access.

   In the following sample MSToolbar key, Microsoft Access and

   Microsoft Mail are correctly registered:

      --MSToolbar

        |--MSAccess = C:\ACCESS\MSACCESS.EXE

        |--MSMail = C:\WINDOWS\MSMAIL.EXE

MORE INFORMATION

================

The resolution in the previous section enables Word to find the

application in the future, but it does not correctly register the

application for use by other processes, such as OLE 2 transactions. To

correctly register the application for use by all processes, you must

merge its Registration (.REG) file, which is supplied with the

application, using the following instructions:

Merging a Registration File

---------------------------

Note: Before you perform this procedure, close the application you

want to register. For example, to register Microsoft Excel, first

close Microsoft Excel.

1. In Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu.

2. In the Command Line box, type "regedit /v" (without the quotation

   marks) and choose OK. This starts Registration Info Editor.

3. In Registration Info Editor, choose Merge Registration Files from

   the File menu.

4. Select the program directory for the application you need to

   register, such as Microsoft Excel.

5. Select the REG file for the application and then choose OK. For

   example, to register Microsoft Excel version 4.0, select XL4.REG

   in the Microsoft Excel program directory.

6. From the File menu, choose Save Changes.

7. From the File menu, choose Exit.

Drawing Object Sent to Back Overwrites Header/Footer Text

Article ID: Q106016

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Drawing objects that you insert in the main text area of a Word for

Windows document overprint header or footer text, even if you send the

drawing object to the back.

CAUSE

=====

By design, the drawing layer in the main text area of the document

lies in front of the drawing layer for the header or footer.

The following diagram demonstrates how Word stacks drawings and text

in each layer:

Cross Section of Word Document Layers

-------------------------------------

                                           ___________________

                 Front Drawing Layer  |-------------------|/ /

   (Header/Footer) BOTTOM TEXT LAYER  |===================| /

                  Back Drawing Layer  |-------------------|/

WORKAROUND

==========

If you want to place a drawing behind the header or footer text, you

must create it in the header or footer drawing layer and then send it

to the back.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In the above diagram, the main text layer of a document and its

drawing layers are in front of objects and text in the bottom

(header/footer) layer of the document. Therefore, if you send a

drawing object to the back in the main text layer, other objects and

text in that layer overprint this object. However, all the drawing

objects in the main text layer overprint those in the header/footer

layer.

Toolbar Button Faces Look Bad in Small Button Mode

Article ID: Q106017

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Toolbar button faces created with the Large Button option selected

look bad when you turn off the Large Button option to switch to small

button mode. If you create a button face in small button mode and then

switch to large button mode, the button face graphic remains small; in

other words, Word doesn't scale it to fill the large button.

Note: The Large Button option is part of the Toolbars command on the

View menu.

CAUSE

=====

Word for Windows provides Windows no instructions on how to shrink the

toolbar button face images. As a result, large button faces do not

look as attractive after Windows shrinks them to a smaller size, and

Windows does not increase the size of small button faces when you

switch to large button mode.

STATUS

======

This is by design in Word for Windows. This is not a problem with Word form

the Macintosh.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use one of the following workarounds to improve the appearance of your

button faces:

 - Create or edit all your button faces in small button mode and

   then run Word with the Large Button option turned off. Similarly,

   if you run Word with the Large Button option selected, create or

   edit all your button faces in large button mode.

   -or-

 - If you want to switch back and forth between small and large button

   modes, create two different toolbars--one in small button mode and

   one in large button mode.

Changing Envelope Feed Icon Has No Effect on Printout

Article ID: Q106045

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows version 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The Feed Method section of the Envelope Printing Options tab offers

several different envelope feed methods. However, changing the feed

method will not modify the way the printer prints the envelope. (To

locate the Feed Method section, choose Envelopes And Labels from the

Tools menu, choose the Options button, and select the Printing Options

tab.)

MORE INFORMATION

================

Changing any of the values in the Feed Method section does not change

the way the printer prints; it only lets Word know how the printer

prints in the event that Word chooses the incorrect feed method for

the printer.

For example, if you normally feed the envelope into the printer with

the stamp on the opposite end from what is selected, selecting this

option will let Word know that.  This option will not make your

printer print envelopes differently than it normally does.

Annotations and Footnotes Keep Revision Marks When Copied

Article ID: Q106046

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you select the Mark Revisions While Editing option and then add or

edit an annotation, footnote, or an endnote, the annotation, footnote,

or endnote will retain revision marks when copied to a new document,

even though Mark Revisions While Editing is not selected in the new

document. The marker for the footnote, endnote, or annotation will not

retain revision marks when pasted into the new document.

(To locate the Mark Revisions While Editing option, choose Revisions

from the Tools menu.)

STATUS

=======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Word version 6.0 for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When you turn revision marks on and then insert an annotation,

footnote, or endnote, both the marker and the item inserted will be

marked as new text in the document. If you select the marker, and then

copy and paste the marker into a new document that has revision marks

turned off, the marker is added to the document without revision

marks. If you then view the annotation, footnote, or endnote, it will

still be formatted with revision marks.

Definition of Rich Text Edit (RTE) Dialog Boxes

Article ID: Q106047

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 makes extensive use of a new technology called Rich Text Edit

(RTE) dialog boxes. RTE dialog boxes allow you to select multiple

formatting options and to see the results of the formatting in the

dialog box. RTE dialog boxes that permit the use of formatting

shortcut keys and allow typing are called "editable." RTE dialog boxes

that merely show a sample that updates as you select different

formatting options are "not editable."

An example of an editable RTE dialog box is the Labels tab in the

Envelopes And Labels dialog box. The Labels dialog box allows you to

type text for a label and to select portions of the text and use

CTRL+B to apply bold formatting. The address field shows the typing

with the new formatting.

Formats that can be applied with shortcut keys in editable RTE dialog

boxes include the following.

   Format                        Shortcut Key

   ------                        ------------

   Bold                          CTRL+B

   Italics                       CTRL+I

   Underline                     CTRL+U

   Format Font                   CTRL+D

   Underline single words        CTRL+SHIFT+W

   Double underline words        CTRL+SHIFT+D

   Create small capital letters  CTRL+SHIFT+K

   Remove formatting             CTRL+SHIFT+Z

Non-RTE dialog boxes are those that don't allow or show formatting

changes in the dialog box, such as the Go To dialog box (located by

choosing Go To from the Edit menu).

AutoFormat Fails to Assign List Bullet Style

Article ID: Q106048

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word's AutoFormat feature fails to assign the List Bullet style to

partially selected paragraphs. The bullet attribute remains on the

paragraph, but the style does not change.

WORKAROUND

==========

Do not select partial paragraphs. If you want to AutoFormat the entire

bulleted list, select the entire list, including all paragraph marks,

before you choose the AutoFormat command. This will ensure the correct

styles and formats are assigned. (If no text is selected, AutoFormat

formats the entire document.)

MORE INFORMATION

================

The AutoFormat feature automatically assigns styles to formatted text.

This ensures consistency of documents and allows the quick changing of

styles through the Style Gallery.

When you create a bulleted list, your lines of bulleted text will

still have the Normal style (or the previously attached style)

attached to them. If you select these bulleted paragraphs and choose

AutoFormat from the Format menu, the style for these paragraphs will

change to List Bullet.

The advantage to formatting these paragraphs as List Bullet is that

the List Bullet style is contained in most of the supplied templates.

If a new template is attached to the document, the List Bullet style

may change and all paragraphs assigned the List Bullet style will

change accordingly.

Thesuarus Incorrect If Table Cell Is Selected

Article ID: Q106049

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In a table, Word's thesaurus may not select the correct word to

analyze. This occurs if you have a table containing more than one

column, and you try to check a word that's not in the first column.

Word may check only the first column of the table and the word(s)

contained therein.

CAUSE

=====

This error occurs only if the entire cell in the second column (or a

column other than the first) is selected. With the entire cell

selected, Word's focus returns to the beginning of the row, which

means that Word will look only at the first column.

RESOLUTION

==========

The thesaurus will work correctly if you have the insertion point in

the cell or select just the desired word. If the entire cell is not

selected, the thesaurus will function correctly.

Shared Components Incorrectly Installed Locally

Article ID: Q106061

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 for Windows, the shared components may be incorrectly

installed locally on a workstation even though the administrator chose

Server or User's Choice as the location for shared components during

the administrative install ("setup /a").

CAUSE

=====

If you run Setup from the server itself, the Setup program displays a

message indicating that it could not detect a network server and path

for the Word program directory. If you continue setting up, all

workstations set up from that network server will get local copies of

shared components.

RESOLUTION

==========

To install Word on a server, run the Setup program from a workstation

connected to the server. You should not run a server installation of

Word from the server itself unless you intend to install the shared

components locally on each workstation.

For more information and specific instructions on installing Word to a

network server, choose "Search for Help on" from the Help menu, type

"readme" (without the quotation marks), then choose the "Custom and

Network Installations" topic in the Word Readme Help Contents window.

Macro Window Closes While the Macro Is Running

Article ID: Q106070

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, while a macro is running in a macro editing

window, you can close that macro editing window. If you have not

saved the macro, Word prompts you to save it. If the macro is unsaved

and contains the "FileClose 2" statement, Word closes the macro

window without saving the macro, and the macro is lost.

STATUS

======

This is a design feature of Word 6.0. To avoid losing a macro that

contains the "FileClose 2" statement, be sure to save your macro

before you run it.

This functionality is different from that of Word 1.x or 2.x, in

which a running macro cannot close its own macro editing window.

Microsoft Toolbar Ignores Working Directory

Article ID: Q106071

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you exit an application that you started from the Microsoft

Toolbar, you get a "Cannot write to <application> file" error message.

For example, Microsoft Project gives the following error message when

you exit from a session that you started from the Microsoft Toolbar:

   Cannot write to WINPROJ.INI file

CAUSE

=====

You are running the Microsoft application from a read-only server

location.

When you start an application from the Microsoft Toolbar, your system

ignores the working directory and any switches specified in the

Program Item Properties of the application's icon in Program Manager.

The Microsoft Toolbar starts a program based on the information

supplied in the Registration Database, which doesn't mention a working

directory, and does not look at icon information in Program Manager.

Some applications require a working directory in which to save changes

made to a program's environment. If no working directory is specified,

the application uses the program directory. If the program directory

is read-only, or if you do not have access rights to the directory,

error messages may occur.

Edit Find Command Jumps Between First Two Words of Paragraph

Article ID: Q106073

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, if you use the Find or Replace command to

find an existing style and do not include any text in the Find What box,

Word scans entire document and prompts search completed with no items

found.

In Word 6.0 for Windows, when you use the Find or Replace command to

find a style, Word "toggles" between the first and second word of the

first paragraph formatted with that style.

This problem occurs when you choose Find or Replace from the Edit

menu, clear the Find What box, select Find Whole Words Only, and

specify style formatting as the search criteria. When you choose the

Find Next button, Word selects the first word in the first paragraph

with the specified style. Choose the Find Next button again, and Word

selects the second word in that paragraph. Choose the Find Next button

a third time, and Word selects the first word in the first paragraph

again. Choosing the Find Next button causes Word to switch back and

forth between these two words. Word does not find subsequent

paragraphs formatted with the specified style.

This does not happen if there is text in the Find What box.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

 - When you clear the Find What box and use Style formatting as a

   search criteria, also clear the Find Whole Words Only option.

   -or-

 - With the Find Whole Words Only option selected, type something in

   the Find What box.

Character Format Functions Ignore Leading or Trailing Spaces

Article ID: Q106075

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

WordBasic character formatting functions, such as Hidden(), Bold(),

Italic(), and Underline(), ignore leading and trailing spaces when

they evaluate a string.

For example, if the text in a selection is formatted as hidden, but

the spaces at the beginning or end of the selection are not formatted

as hidden, the Hidden() function returns 1 to indicate that the entire

selection is hidden, even though there are unhidden spaces at the

beginning or end of the selection.

STATUS

======

This functionality is consistent with the functionality of other

features in Word for Windows, such as the Format Font dialog box and

Formatting toolbar. All these Word features disregard trailing and

leading spaces when they evaluate a selection.

Word 2.x Object Opens in Word 6.0 with Wrong Size Margins

Article ID: Q106101

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Embedded Word 2.x for Windows objects, when activated from an OLE

client application, will open into Word 6.0 for Windows with a page

size based on the size of the graphic presentation of the client. In

the case of Word 2.x objects, this is based on the size of the Word

icon in the container--usually about .5-inch wide.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To get the Word 2.x for Windows object to open in Word 6.0 at the

correct page size, resize the graphic image in the container to match

the desired page size.

If you are using Microsoft Mail, the best way to preserve the proper

page size is to open the object in Word 6.0, adjust the page size

using the Page Setup command on the File menu, save the object as a

document, return to Mail, and attach the document.

Toolbar List Boxes Too Narrow to Display List Items

Article ID: Q106106

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Sometimes the width of a list box on a toolbar in Word for Windows is

too narrow to display a long name. For example, on the Formatting

toolbar, the Font list box may truncate the following long font names

so they all appear as "Garamond Classic Extras":

   Garamand Classic Extras Light

   Garamand Classic Extras Book

   Garamand Classic Extras

WORKAROUND

==========

You can modify the width of the list boxes on any of the toolbars

using the following instructions:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Customize.

2. Select the Toolbars tab. This tab activates a toolbar modification

   mode for all the visible toolbars.

3. Click the toolbar list box you want to resize to select it. A

   dotted line appears around it. For example, to resize the font

   list box on the Formatting toolbar, select it by clicking it once.

   Note: Click the actual toolbar in Word, outside the Tools

   Customize dialog box.

4. Point to the right edge of the list box. When the pointer

   changes to a double vertical bar, two headed arrow, drag the

   list box to resize it.

5. In the Tools Customize dialog box, choose the Close button.

Choosing Default Numbering PAGE Field Option Adds No Switch

Article ID: Q106108

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you select Use Default Numbering in the PAGE Field Options dialog

box and then choose the Add To Field button, Word for Windows adds no

switch to the field.

CAUSE

=====

When you select the Use Default Numbering setting, Word uses the

default page number format that you set in the Page Numbers command on

the Insert menu. No field switch is associated with the default

setting. Word uses the default numbering setting regardless of whether

you select Use Default Numbering in the PAGE Field Options dialog box.

By design, the Use Default Numbering setting simply confirms that you

want to use the default settings.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When you insert a PAGE field using the Field command on the Insert

menu, you do not need to choose the Options button or change any

settings in the PAGE Field Options dialog box if you want to use the

default page number settings for the current section.

The only time you need to change the settings in the PAGE Field

Options dialog box is when you want to change the page number

formatting from the default settings for the current section.

Character Formatting Removed When Toggled Off at End of Word

Article ID: Q106115

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you toggle character formatting on or off while the insertion point

is in the middle of a word, Word for Windows reformats the entire

word. This may cause unexpected results when you are editing your

document to add a word if you turn off the character formatting before

you type a space between the two words; Word removes the character

formatting from the word you just typed.

This happens for any character format you can apply in Word from the

Font dialog box (located by choosing Font from the Format menu) or by

pressing keyboard combinations (such as CTRL+B for bold or CTRL+I for

italic).

Do the following to demonstrate this behavior:

1. Type "one two three" (without the quotation marks).

2. Position the insertion point at the beginning of "two".

3. Press CTRL+B to turn on bold character formatting.

4. Type "four" (without the quotation marks). The line appears as

   follows, and "four" is formatted as bold:

      one fourtwo three

5. Press CTRL+B to turn off bold character formatting. Notice that

   Word removes the bold character formatting from "four".

Note: This does not happen if the insertion point is at the end of the

word, before a space. For example, if you press CTRL+B, type "one" on

a blank line and then press CTRL+B, Word turns off bold character

formatting but does not remove the formatting from "one."

CAUSE

=====

By design, whenever the insertion point is in the middle of a word,

Word applies character formatting to the entire word. If you are

adding a word to your document and you turn off the character

formatting before you type the space between the two words, Word

considers the text to be a single word.

This functionality is designed to facilitate formatting that you apply

while you type as well as formatting you apply after you type.

WORKAROUND

==========

Type a space after the word before you turn off the character

formatting for that word. In step 4 of the preceding example, you

should type "four " (be sure to include the space following the word)

before you press CTRL+B to turn off bold character formatting.

Column Selection with Merged or Deleted Cells Not Straight

Article ID: Q106118

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOM

=======

When you select a column in a table that contains merged or deleted

cells, the selection may appear to zigzag randomly through the

columns.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

What is actually occurring is a cell selection based on relative

position to the first column of the table. Selection of the third

column, for example, means selection of the third cell in each row. If

the third cell falls after a merged or deleted cell, it may appear in

a different relative location and lead to the scattered highlighting

affect.

This behavior is not consistent with the behavior of Word 2.x for

Windows, where column selection occurred most frequently in vertical

alignment regardless of whether or not cells were deleted or merged.

Word 1.x or 2.x Cell References Convert to Absolute References

Article ID: Q106120

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When you open a Word version 1.x or 2.x for Windows document in Word

version 6.0 for Windows, Word converts table Expression (=) fields to

Formula fields and converts relative table cell references to absolute

references.  For information on how Word 6.0 exports the same formula

fields, see the EXPORT section below.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word versions 1.x and 2.x use a different notation for referencing table

cells than Word 6.0. Word 1.x and 2.x use a notation row column number

reference such as: R1C1 or R3C2. Word 6.0 notation is the same as Excel's,

for example: A1 or B3. Below is a sample Expression field as it appears in

Word 1.x or 2.x:

   {=SUM([R1C1])*SUM([R1C4])}

Word 6.0 converts the above Expression field to the following Formula

field:

   {=SUM(A1)*SUM(D1)}

In Word 6.0, you can simplify your Formula field calculations so they

no longer use the SUM operator. For example, you can rewrite the

above Formula field as follows:

   {=A1*D1}

Both Formula fields produce the same result.

EXPORT

======

If a document is saved in a Word 1.x or 2.x format from Word 6.0, these

absolute references are not re-converted to a Word 1.x or 2.0x format.

For example, when a Word 2.0 document that contains the formula

{=sum([r1c1:r1c3])} is imported into Word 6.0, the formula

{=sum([r1c1:r1c3])} appears as {=SUM(A1:C3)}.  The Word 2.0 formula is

converted to Word 6.0 format.

However, when a Word 6.0 document that contains the formula {=SUM(A1:C3)}

is exported from Word 6.0 in Word 2.0 format and opened in Word 2.0,

{=SUM(A1:C3)} appears as {=SUM(A1:C3)}.  The Word 6.0 formula is not

converted to the Word 2.0 format of {=sum([r1c1:r1c3])}.  The correct field

result (the sum of the cells) is retained until the formula field is

updated at which point a "!Syntax error" is received.

When a Word 6.0 document that contains the formula {=SUM(A1:C3)} is

exported from Word 6.0 in Word 6.0 format and opened in Word 2.0,

{=SUM(A1:C3)} appears as {= }; The Word 6.0 formula doesn't retain the Word

6.0 format of {=SUM(A1:C3)} or convert to the Word 2.0 format of

{=sum([r1c1:r1c3])}.  The correct field result (the sum of the cells) is

retained until the formula field is updated at which point an "!Unexpected

End of Expression" is received.

WORKAROUND: Unlink the fields before they're updated to retain the original

field results.  Do this by placing the Insertion Point in the formula field

and pressing CTRL+SHIFT+F9, the Unlink Fields key combination.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows version

6.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as

it becomes available.

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Although you can edit your document while in print preview, it is an

Methods to Save the NORMAL.DOT File with Low Disk Space

Article ID: Q106131

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 may not be able to save changes to NORMAL.DOT if there is not

enough disk space to perform the save. By default, Word does not

prompt to save changes to the NORMAL.DOT; instead, Word saves the

changes automatically at the end of each Word session. Below are the

two scenarios that will occur depending on whether you have the save

option "Prompt to Save Normal.dot" selected.

MORE INFORMATION

================

By default, NORMAL.DOT is automatically saved at the end of every

session. If you would rather be prompted, choose Options from the

Tools menu, choose the Save tab, and select "Prompt to Save

Normal.dot."

"Prompt to Save Normal.dot" Option On

-------------------------------------

When "Prompt to Save Normal.dot" is selected and you make changes made

to the NORMAL.DOT file, you get behavior consistent with Word 2.x:

1. From the File menu, choose Exit.

2. When prompted to save changes to NORMAL.DOT, choose Yes.

3. Word will respond with the following message:

      Changes have been made that affect

      the global template, NORMAL.DOT.

      Do you want to save those changes?

   Choose OK.

4. If you have low disk space, Word will report:

      Word cannot save or create this file.

      Make sure the disk is not write

      protected (<pathname>:\NORMAL.DOT)

   Choose OK.

5. Word 6.0 will still be running. You can free up disk space by

   switching to File Manager, or you can exit without saving changes

   by choosing No to the Save NORMAL.DOT prompt.

"Prompt to Save Normal.dot" Option Off

--------------------------------------

When "Prompt to Save Normal.dot" is not selected and you make changes

to the NORMAL.DOT file, the following occurs:

1. From the File menu, choose Exit.

2. If you have low disk space, Word will report:

      The disk is full trying to write to C:

      Free some space on this drive or save the

      document on a different disk.

   Choose OK.

3. The Save As dialog is then displayed.

   If you cannot save the NORMAL.DOT file, you can either switch to

   File Manager (by pressing ALT+TAB or CTRL+ESC) to free disk space,

   or you can cancel the File Save As dialog box, and Word will exit

   without saving changes to NORMAL.DOT.

Word 6.0 Uses ODBC to Open dBASE Files

Article ID: Q106142

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word for Windows does not supply a dBASE converter. Word opens dBASE

files using the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver supplied with

Word.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When you open a dBASE file in Word 6.0 using the ODBC driver, Word

does not display records in the file that have been marked for

deletion but that have not been removed using the dBASE Pack command.

This means you do not have to pack your dBASE file before using it in

Word (this step is necessary if you open a dBASE file in Word version

2.x for Windows because the Word 2.x dBASE converter displays deleted

records in unpacked dBASE files).

How to Redisplay Full Screen or Macro Toolbars After Closing

Article ID: Q106146

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

If you close the floating Full Screen or Macro toolbar while you are in

full screen view or while a macro editing window is open, you can re-

display the toolbar by doing the following in Word for Windows:

1. From the View menu, choose Toolbars (if you are in full screen view,

   press ALT, V, then choose the Toolbars command).

2. Select the Full Screen or Macro toolbar option and then choose OK.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Full Screen toolbar appears in the View Toolbars dialog box only when

Word is in full screen view. Similarly, the Macro toolbar appears only when

a macro editing window is open. To initially display these toolbars, you

must switch to full screen view or open a macro editing window.

DDERequest Does Not Return Line Feed Terminator CHR$(10)

Article ID: Q106151

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run a Word 2.x DDE macro that includes a DDERequest$()

function in Word 6.0, unexpected results may occur. On examination of

your macro, you will see that the DDERequest$() function doesn't

return the line-feed terminator, CHR$(10).

CAUSE

=====

In Word version 6.0 for Windows, the DDERequest$() function returns a

string followed by a single ANSI character, CHR$(13). In Word version

2.x for Windows, DDERequest$() returns a string followed by two ANSI

characters, namely CHR$(13) and CHR$(10).

Note: Chr$(13) is the carriage return control code and Chr$(10) is

the line feed control code.

Microsoft changed the DDERequest$() function in Word 6.0 to be

consistent with Word for the Macintosh. In this version, Word for

Windows and Word for the Macintosh share the same file format,

features, appearance, and documentation.

RESOLUTION

==========

As a result of this change, you must modify your Word 2.x macros to

use them in Word 6.0 so they expect a single terminator.

Predefined Styles Change from Winword 2.0 to Winword 6.0

Article ID: Q106171

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

==========

Text formatted with Annotation Reference, Footnote Reference, or Line

Number styles in a Word 2.x for Windows document will be converted to

the Normal style when you open the document in Word 6.0 for Windows.

CAUSE

======

Word 6.0 has two types of styles: character styles and paragraph

styles. Annotation Reference, Footnote Reference, and Line Number are

character styles in Word 6.0. Word 2.x has only paragraph styles.

You cannot convert a paragraph style into a character style and

maintain the paragraph formatting. Therefore, when text formatted with

one of the above styles is converted from Word 2.x to Word 6.0, the

corresponding character style is created and the Normal paragraph

style is applied.

for a particular purpose.

AppWindowHeight, AppWindowHeight()

==================================

Syntax

------

AppWindowHeight [WindowName$,] Height

AppWindowHeight([WindowName$])

Example

-------

The AppWindowHeight statement adjusts the height of an application

window to a specified number of points (if WindowName$ is omitted,

Word is assumed). AppWindowHeight allows you to change the height of a

window without affecting its width (unlike AppSize). The

AppWindowHeight() function returns the height of an application window

in points. For argument descriptions, see AppSize.

Sub MAIN

   x = 0

   state = AppMaximize()

   If state = - 1 Then AppRestore

   x = AppWindowHeight()

   MsgBox "The height of this window is: " + Str$(x)

   AppWindowHeight x - 100

   MsgBox "The height of this window is: " + Str$(x - 100)

End Sub

AppWindowPosLeft, AppWindowPosLeft()

====================================

Syntax

------

AppWindowPosLeft [WindowName$,] HorizPos

AppWindowPosLeft([WindowName$])

Example

-------

The AppWindowPosLeft statement moves an application window or icon to

a horizontal position specified in points (if WindowName$ is omitted,

Word is assumed). AppWindowPosLeft allows you to change the horizontal

position of a window or icon without affecting its vertical position

(unlike AppMove). The AppWindowPosLeft() function returns the

horizontal position of an application window or icon, in points. For

argument descriptions, see AppMove.

Sub MAIN

   state = AppMaximize()

   If state = - 1 Then AppRestore

   x = AppWindowPosLeft()

   MsgBox "The distance from the left is: " + Str$(x)

   AppWindowPosLeft x + 100

   MsgBox "The distance from the left is: " + Str$(x +100)

End Sub

AppWindowPosTop, AppWindowPosTop()

==================================

Syntax

------

AppWindowPosTop [WindowName$,] VertPos

AppWindowPosTop([WindowName$])

Example

-------

The AppWindowPosTop statement moves an application window or icon to

a vertical position specified in points (if WindowName$ is omitted,

Word is assumed). AppWindowPosTop allows you to change the vertical

position of a window or icon without affecting its horizontal

position (unlike AppMove). The AppWindowPosTop() function returns the

vertical position of an application window or icon, in points. For

argument descriptions, see AppMove.

Sub MAIN

   x = 0

   state = AppMaximize()

   If state = - 1 Then AppRestore

   x = AppWindowPosTop()

   MsgBox "The distance from the top is: " + Str$(x)

   AppWindowPosTop x + 100

   MsgBox "The distance from the top is: " + Str$(x + 100)

End Sub

AppWindowWidth, AppWindowWidth()

================================

Syntax

------

AppWindowWidth [WindowName$,] Width

AppWindowWidth([WindowName$])

Example

-------

The AppWindowWidth statement adjusts the width of an application

window to a specified number of points (if WindowName$ is omitted,

Word is assumed). AppWindowWidth allows you to change the width of a

window without affecting its height (unlike AppSize).  The

AppWindowWidth() function returns the width of an application window,

in points. For argument descriptions, see AppSize.

Sub MAIN

   x = 0

   state = AppMaximize()

   If state = - 1 Then AppRestore

   x = AppWindowWidth()

   MsgBox "The width of this window is: " + Str$(x)

   AppWindowWidth x / 2

Shading at Top of Page Displays at Bottom of Previous Page

Article ID: Q106218

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

If you apply a shaded border to the first line of a page (not the

header) other than the first page, Word for Windows incorrectly

displays the shading under the last line of text on the previous page

when you are in page layout view.

The shading that appears at the bottom of the previous page in page

layout does not appear in print preview or normal view. The document

prints correctly, with the shading at the top of the page.

CAUSE

=====

This is a display problem only. It does not affect the printed page.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Fonts Not Displaying with True WYSIWYG

Article ID: Q106241

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

==========

Word 6.0 for Windows cannot display all aspects of true WYSIWYG ("what

you see is what you get") at the same time because the screen

resolution is much lower than the printer resolution. Words may appear

compressed in certain views due to the difference in resolution.

CAUSE

=====

Word 2.x for Windows spaces the text nicely, but line breaks and word

position are not accurately represented on the screen. In certain

views, text appears to flow outside of the right margin. This occurs

because Word 2.x prioritizes the character spacing over word position

and line length.

Since the screen has a much lower resolution than the printer, it is

impossible to get all aspects of true WYSIWYG at the same time. The

priority of Word 6.0 for Windows is to make sure that positions of

words on the page and line lengths are exactly preserved.

Word 6.0 for Windows does smooth letter spacing to make the display

much nicer than if it strictly positioned every character according to

its exact position on the printer.

This is a display problem only. The text prints correctly.

Zoom Is Always Changed to 100% When Launching Picture Editor

Article ID: Q106242

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you double-click a picture to edit it in the picture editor, the

picture editor always opens up with the zoom set at 100% and the

picture at the top left of the screen. Changes to the zoom and scroll

bar position are not saved between Picture Editor sessions.

CAUSE

======

The Picture Editor was designed to position and zoom the Word Picture

document independently of the settings for the container document to

prevent pictures from appearing clipped or incorrectly sized when they

initially appear in the Picture Editor.

Word Merges Blank and Non-Blank Table Cells Differently

Article ID: Q106254

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word version 6.0 for Windows merges non-blank and blank table cells

differently. Previous versions of Word do not handle them differently.

CAUSE

=====

By design in Word 6.0, if a table cell is blank, Word does not add a

paragraph mark to the merged cell. By contrast, if a table cell

contains text, Word does add a paragraph mark to the merged cell. For

example, if you merge these blank table cells,

   __________________________________________

   |o           |o            |o            |

   ------------------------------------------

   (Note: The "o" represents an end-of-cell marker, not actual text.)

the resulting merged table cell looks like this:

   __________________________________________

   |o                                       |

   ------------------------------------------

   (Note: The "o" represents an end-of-cell marker, not actual text.)

Likewise, if you merge these non-blank table cells,

   __________________________________________

   |TEXT o   |o            |o               |

   ------------------------------------------

   (Note: The "o" represents an end-of-cell marker, not actual text.)

the resulting merged table cell looks like this (notice that Word

inserts a paragraph mark for the non-blank cell but does not insert a

paragraph mark for the blank cells):

   __________________________________________

   |TEXT P                                  |

   |o                                       |

   ------------------------------------------

   (Note: The "P" is the paragraph mark, not actual text. The "o"

   represents an end-of-cell marker, not actual text.)

MORE INFORMATION

================

Previous versions of Word insert a paragraph mark for each blank

table cell you merge, which creates one line for each cell you merge.

For example, if you merge these blank table cells,

   __________________________________________

   |o        |o            |o               |

   ------------------------------------------

   (Note: The "o" represents an end-of-cell marker, not actual text.)

the resulting merged table cell looks like this:

   __________________________________________

   |P                                       |

   |P                                       |

   |o                                       |

   ------------------------------------------

   (Note: The "P" is the paragraph mark, not actual text. The "o"

   represents an end-of-cell marker, not actual text.)

Some Style Formats Not Displayed When You Reveal Formatting

Article ID: Q106255

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you reveal formatting, Word does not display some of the character

style formats you applied to your document. For example, if you apply an

Italic character style to a selection and then manually remove that

formatting by pressing CTRL+I, the Italic character style does not display

when you reveal formatting, even though it is still applied.

To reveal formatting, choose the Help button on the Standard toolbar

or press SHIFT+F1. When the pointer changes to a question mark, click

the text you want to check.

CAUSE

=====

By design, when you reveal formatting, Word displays only the formats that

are currently active for the selection. Word does not display the style

formats that are not currently active, such as those that have been

overridden by other formatting. For example, if you apply direct formatting

that overrides a character style format, Word no longer displays the

character style format when you reveal formatting.

RESOLUTION

==========

If you want to see all the style formatting currently applied to a

character, choose Style from the Format menu. You can compare these

settings with the formats Word displays when you reveal formatting to

determine which settings have been overridden.

Close Command on Control Menu Unavailable in Custom Dialog Box

Article ID: Q106256

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, the Close command on the Control menu is

unavailable (dimmed) in user-defined dialog boxes that do not contain

a Cancel button.

CAUSE

=====

The Close command on the Control menu of a dialog box and the Cancel

button in a dialog box serve the same purpose, namely to close the

dialog box without making any changes. When a user-defined dialog box

does not contain a Cancel button, Word assumes that you should not be

able to close the dialog box without making some change.

WORKAROUND

==========

Even though Close is grey on the application control menu you are able to

use ALT+F4 to close the dialog box. The below code effectively disables

ALT+F4

ALT+F4 will return a 0 value as though Cancel was pressed.

Sub MAIN

Begin Dialog UserDialog 320, 54, "Microsoft Word"

   TextBox 10, 22, 160, 18, .TextBox1

   PushButton 190, 18, 108, 21, "Click here", .Push1

   Text 10, 6, 44, 13, "Name", .Text1

End Dialog

Dim dlg As UserDialog

again:

Choice = Dialog(dlg)

If Choice = 0 Then

Goto again

Else

   Name$ = dlg.textbox1

   MsgBox "hello " + Name$

End If

End Sub

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following WordBasic macro is an example of a user-defined dialog

box in which the Close command on the Control menu is unavailable:

Sub MAIN

Begin Dialog UserDialog 200, 80, "Microsoft Word"

   OKButton 50, 25, 88, 21     '0

not. The SpacePara commands are interchangeable, so you can substitute

each one into the macro below.

Sub MAIN

   A = SpacePara2()

   If A < 1 Then

      MsgBox "The selection will be formatted as double spaced."

      SpacePara2

   Else

      MsgBox "The selection is already double spaced"

   End If

Insert Object Dialog Has Blank Entry at Top of List

Article ID: Q106344

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In the Object dialog box (located by choosing Object from the Insert menu),

it is possible to have a blank entry in the Object Type list box. If you

select this entry, Word may or may not insert a valid object into your

document.

If the entry is valid, an object is inserted into your document. When you

activate the object or edit it, the object's server application will be

started and you will be able to edit the object.

If the entry is not valid, a packager (most likely) icon is inserted that

when activated or edited will result in the following message: "Word cannot

edit the object," or "Word cannot find the server application for this

object."

To delete the blank entry from the list, you must find the incorrect entry

in the registration database and remove it. Microsoft does not recommend

this solution. A better solution is to rebuild the registration database.

For more information on rebuilding the registration database, query on the

following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   reg.dat and rebuild and corrupted and

MORE INFORMATION

================

In the registration database, any class that has the subkeys "\Insertable"

or "\Protocol\StdFileEditing\Server = <path>\Server will appear in the

Object dialog box in the form of its "human-readable" class name. If a

particular class conforms to this rule but has no human-readable name

listed, it will appear as a blank entry in the Object dialog box.

As listed in the registration database, a class consists of "Class Name (or

ProcId) = <human-readable name>." For example, "\Excel.Sheet.5 = Microsoft

Excel 5.0 Worksheet," where "Excel.Sheet.5" is the class name and

"Microsoft Excel 5.0 Worksheet" is the human-readable name.

Also, for a class to be listed in the Object dialog box, it must be listed

as a subkey of the root in the registration database. For example,

Excel.Sheet.5 is a subkey of the root key (\) and is thus listed in the

Object dialog box. {00020810-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} is the Class ID

(CLSID) for the Excel.Sheet.5 key and has a human-readable name and an

"Insertable" subkey. This key however, does not appear in the Object dialog

box because it is a subkey of the \CLSID key and is not listed directly off

of the root.

Word Lists Unused TOC and Index Styles

Article ID: Q106345

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you insert a table of contents (TOC), table of authorities, table

of figures, or index in a document, Word for Windows adds all levels

of table and index styles to the Styles list, regardless of whether

the style is actually in use in your document.

Note: This article uses the word "table" to mean table of figures,

authorities, contents, or other list you create using the Index And

Tables command on the Insert menu.

CAUSE

=====

This is a design feature of Word.

Word features built-in formats for indexes and tables, such as

Elegant, Classic, Formal, and Modern; these formats are actually a

collection of predefined styles.

When you select a format for your index or table, Word lists all the

styles associated with that format. This prevents the styles from

getting mixed up with those for another format in a different table or

index. By listing all the styles, Word maintains consistency in your

indexes or tables and prevents the mixing of style definitions for

different levels of your index or table.

For example, if your document contains a four-level table of figures

that you formatted with the Classic format, then you add a two-level

table of figures and format it with the Modern format, Word redefines

all the styles, whether they are currently in use or not. As a result,

Word reformats your entire first table--not just the first two levels.

In other words, Word maintains a consistent look throughout all the

tables and indexes in your document.

Note: If Word did NOT redefine all the style levels, some levels would

contain formatting that did not match the formatting in the other

levels. The following diagrams illustrate this idea:

Table A (created before Table B)

-------

Level 1 <Classic format>

Level 2 <Classic format>

Level 3 <Classic format>

Level 4 <Classic format>

Table B (you change from Classic to Modern format)

-------

Level 1 <Modern format>

Level 2 <Modern format>

After you create Table B, Word correctly reformats Table A as follows:

Table A

-------

Level 1 <Modern format>

Level 2 <Modern format>

Level 3 <Modern format>

Level 4 <Modern format>

If Word did not replace all the style definitions when you switched to

Modern format, Table A would incorrectly look like this:

Table A (hypothetical--this is NOT how Word formats your table)

-------

level 1 <Modern format>

level 2 <Modern format>

level 3 <Classic format>

level 4 <Classic format>

WORKAROUND

==========

Delete any unwanted styles from your document using the following

instructions:

1. From the Format menu, choose Style.

2. In the List box, select Files In Use.

3. Select each unwanted style and choose the Delete button. Repeat

   this step until you have deleted all the unwanted styles, then

   choose the Close button.

   Note: You cannot delete the Default Paragraph Font character

   style or the Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, or Normal paragraph

   styles.

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you run the ToolsOptions command in a WordBasic macro and use an

invalid value for the .Tab argument, Word for Windows does not display

an error message. Instead, Word opens the View tab in the Tools

Options dialog box.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word

version 6.0. We are researching this problem and will

post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it

becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Assign a valid value to the .Tab argument (that is, a value from 0

through 11).

MORE INFORMATION

================

The ToolsOptions command uses the following syntax:

   ToolsOptions .Tab = <NN>

"NN" is a value from 0 (zero) through 11, corresponding to the twelve

dialog tabs in the Tools Options dialog box. Any number less than 0

or greater than 11 is invalid.

AutoCaption Left Behind When Its Object Is Moved

Article ID: Q106368

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you move an item with a caption created with the AutoCaption

feature using either the cut and paste method or the drag-and-drop

feature, a new caption is created for it, and the old caption is left

in the previous location of the captioned item.

CAUSE

=====

The caption is not attached to the item it is captioning. Word is

designed to create a new caption when an item is moved so that new

captions will be created when items are drag-and-dropped between

documents.

WORKAROUND

==========

Select the caption along with the captioned item before moving it.

Unlinking Embedded Object Creates Word Picture Object

Article ID: Q106369

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Unlinking any embedded object in Word 6.0 results in the creation of a

Word picture object. In Word 2.x for Windows, unlinking an embedded

object results in the creation of a Windows metafile with no

associated field code.

Pressing CTRL+SHIFT+F9 unlinks most Word fields.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When you double-click a picture object, Word will display it for

editing in the picture editor specified in the Edit options dialog

box. (To locate the Edit dialog box, choose Options from the Tools

menu, and select the Edit tab.) After you update the picture object,

the selected picture editor will display as the object type in the

EMBED field code.

To change the object type associated with an embedded object, unlink

the field, change the picture editor to the desired object type, and

update the object. To view field codes, press ALT+F9.

Description of the ODBC.INI File

Article ID: Q106370

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes the contents of the open database connectivity

(ODBC) initialization file, ODBC.INI. The ODBC.INI file is installed

with a complete installation of Word 6.0 for Windows.

NOTE: Microsoft does not recommend direct modification of the ODBC.INI

file with a text editor. The preferred method for editing the ODBC.INI

file is to use either the ODBC Setup program or the ODBC

administration tool.

You can access the ODBC Setup program during Word for Windows

installation. You can access the administration tool by choosing the

ODBC icon in Windows Control Panel.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The ODBC Data Sources Section

-----------------------------

This section lists the data sources installed during Word 6.0 for

Windows setup, or as specified by the user. Each entry lists a data

source and the description of the driver it uses. The driver

description is usually the name of the associated DBMS (Database

Management System). The format of the section is:

   data-source-name=driver-description

For instance, the following example includes the data sources

installed by Word and a user-defined source named "My Address List."

"My Address List" uses a Microsoft Access DBMS.

   [ODBC Data Sources]

   MS Access Databases=Access Data (*.mdb)

   FoxPro Files=FoxPro Files (*.dbf)

   dBase Files=dBase Files (*.dbf)

   Paradox Files=Paradox Files (*.db )

   My Address List=Access Data (*.mdb)

The Data Source Specification Sections

--------------------------------------

Each data source listed in the [ODBC Data Sources] section has a

section of its own in the ODBC.INI file. The section name is the data

source name from the [ODBC Data Sources] section above. It will list

the driver DLL and a description of the data source. This section will

also list other information such as translation DLLs if the driver

supports them, and other information specific to the driver. The

general format appears as:

   [data-source-name]

   driver=driver-DLL-path

   description=data-source-description

   optional-entries=optional-strings

For instance, the following example contains the data source

specifications for two of the data sources listed in the [ODBC Data

Sources] section above:

   [FoxPro Files]

   Driver=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SIMBA.DLL

   FileType=FoxPro 2.5

   SingleUser=False

   [My Address List]

   Driver=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SIMBA.DLL

   Description=A List of Friends, Relatives and Business Contacts

   FileType=RedISAM

   DataDirectory=c:\access\list.mdb

   SingleUser=False

   UseSystemDB=False

Default Data Source Specification Section

-----------------------------------------

Optionally the ODBC.INI file may contain a default data source

specification section. The data source must be named "Default" and is

not listed in the [ODBC Data Sources] section. The format of the

default data source specification section is the same as any other

data source specification section:

   [Default]

   driver=driver-DLL-path

   description=data-source-description

   optional-entries=optional-strings

Err Msg: "Specified Text Is Not a Valid AutoText Name..."

Article ID: Q106371

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word may beep and display the following message on the Status Bar

after you type the name of an AutoText entry and press F3 or click the

Insert AutoText button on the toolbar:

   The Specified text is not a valid AutoText name.

   Use Edit AutoText to create AutoText entries.

CAUSE

=====

This error occurs if you don't separate the AutoText entry name and

its succeeding text with a space. Word 6.0 for Windows includes

characters on both sides of the insertion point when identifying

words. This is one of Word's Intellisense features, which enables Word

to apply character formatting to the word containing the insertion

point. As a result, Word assumes that characters on both sides of the

insertion point are a part of the AutoText name.

Word 2.x for Windows includes only characters to the left of the

insertion point when identifying words.

WORKAROUND

==========

Type a space after the AutoText name before pressing F3. For example,

consider the AutoText entry named "mine":

   mine|all mine   Pressing F3 with the insertion point in this

                   position will result in an error.

   mine| all mine  Pressing F3 with the insertion point in this

                   position will insert the AutoText.

Using SetDocumentVar to Store Variables in Documents

Article ID: Q106388

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The Microsoft WordBasic SetDocumentVar command can be used to set a

string variable into a Word document or template. Document variables

are similar to key names in a private settings file and are retrieved

using the GetDocumentVar$() function. Document variables can only be

set and accessed using the WordBasic instructions SetDocumentVar and

GetDocumentVar$().

The following macro example uses the SetDocumentVar statement to store

the contents of the A$ string variable with the current document under

the name "FullName". When the string value needs to be returned, the

GetDocumentVar$ function is used with the document variable name

"FullName".

Note: Document variables that are added to a template will be stored

in all new documents that are based on the template.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT

YOUR OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without

warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not

limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness

for a particular purpose.

Sub MAIN

A$ = "Joe Smith"

SetDocumentVar "FullName", A$   'Set contents of A$ in document

Name$ = GetDocumentVar$("FullName")   'retrieves contents of variable

Msgbox Name$

End Sub

To ensure that the document variable has been set correctly, use the

SetDocumentVar() function instead of the statement form. The

SetDocumentVar() function returns -1 if the document variable was set

successfully.

For example:

Sub MAIN

A$ = "Joe Smith"

n = SetDocumentVar("FullName", A$)   'Set contents of A$ in document

If n = -1 then

 Name$ = GetDocumentVar$("FullName")   'retrieves contents of variable

 Msgbox Name$

Else

 Msgbox "Document variable not set."

End If

End Sub

After a macro has executed, the values of the macro variables are not

saved. If you need to preserve a value in-between sessions of a macro,

you can store values using any of the following methods:

 - Use SetPrivateProfileString to store values to a private settings

   file.

 - Use SetDocumentVar to store values in a document.

 - Use SetProfileString to store values in the WIN.INI file.

 - Use the WordBasic File Input/Output statements to write to a text

   file (for example, Write or Print statements).

 - Use SetAutoText to store values in an AutoText entry.

Insufficient Memory Error Message When Temp Directory Is Full

Article ID: Q106448

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word may generate an error message that there is insufficient memory

or that it won't be able to undo if the temporary directory is full.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Depending on the operation, Word's temporary files can get as large

as 16 megabytes (MB). For example, repeatedly moving and resizing an OLE

embedded graphic object can create very large temporary files.

To check if the temporary directory is full, do the following:

1. From the Help menu, choose About Microsoft Word.

2. Choose the System Info button.

3. From the "Choose a Category" list box, select System.

The temporary directory is listed at the bottom of the list. Check the

"Space available on Drive" line to determine the amount of free space.

For example, if the temporary directory is C:\TEMP, check the "Space

available on Drive C:" line.

This number is the free kilobytes, so "1500 KB" is 1.5 MB free.

Files Opened from Mail and File Manager Not Added to MRU List

Article ID: Q106449

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you open a file from Microsoft Mail or File Manager and then close

the file without saving, Word will not add the filename to the Most

Recently Used (MRU) list at the bottom of the File menu.

CAUSE

======

Word displays the filenames of documents opened from Microsoft Mail or

File Manager in the MRU list only if the document was saved before

closing.

If the document was opened from Mail and saved, the path will be the

TEMP directory.

For example, if your TEMP directory is C:\TEMP and the document opened

from Microsoft Mail is FILE.DOC, the MRU list path will be

C:\TEMP\FILE.DOC.

This behavior is by design.

Grammar Check Replaces Smart Quotes with Straight Quotes

Article ID: Q106450

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The grammar checker replaces curly ("smart") quotation marks with

straight quotation marks if you accept a change involving quotation

marks.

CAUSE

=====

The grammar checker does not recognize smart quotation marks, so they

are translated to straight quotation marks in the grammar input

buffer. When the grammar checker proposes a change including quotation

marks, straight quotation marks are inserted into the document if the

change is accepted.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To reinsert proper smart quotation marks, follow these steps:

1. After completing the grammar check, choose Options from the Tools

   menu.

2. Choose the AutoFormat tab. To ensure that no unwanted styles are

   applied to the document, clear every option except "Replace

   Straight Quotes with Smart Quotes."

3. Choose OK.

4. From the Format menu, choose AutoFormat. Choose OK when reminded

   that Word will automatically format your document.

5. Once the AutoFormatter has run, choose Accept or choose Review

   Changes if you want to be certain that Word has not changed other

   formatting in the document.

6. Restore the options in the AutoFormat options dialog box (choose

   Options from the Tools menu, select the AutoFormat tab). All

   options are selected by default.

More Than 2500 Styles Causes Low Memory Error Message

Article ID: Q106451

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following error message may appear when you choose Style from the

Format menu or choose Templates from the File menu and choose the

Organizer button, even though the system has plenty of available

memory:

   Not enough memory to complete the operation.

CAUSE

=====

Word 6.0 for Windows allows the use of around 4000 styles per document

or template. This limit is larger than the number of items that can be

displayed in a list box. The number of styles that can be listed in

the Style dialog box or the Organizer dialog box is around 2500 before

the above error message is displayed.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

This is a list box limitation. Increasing available memory and/or disk

space will not make a difference. You must remove unnecessary styles.

Word 6.0 Accesses Mail Merge Data File Frequently

Article ID: Q106469

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word for Windows accesses the data document in a mail merge main

document each time you reactivate the main document window. Word may

access the data document when you return to Word from another

application (this does not happen every time). Sometimes it takes a

long time for Word to open the data document and access the current

data record, especially if your data document is large.

For example, if you switch to a non-mail-merge document window or if

you switch to a different application such as Microsoft Excel, then

switch back to the mail merge main document, Word accesses the data

file. Word displays the following message on the status bar:

   Opening <data filename> in <application name>.

CAUSE

=====

When you activate a mail merge main document, Word maintains a

constant reference to the most recently used record in the data

document, which requires Word to access the data file frequently. Word

does this so the most up-to-date values always display. This means

that if someone changes the data file record in the source

application, Word automatically displays the new information in your

main document.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes

available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use the following suggestions to minimize the time you have to wait

for Word to access your data document:

 - Avoid unnecessarily switching from one document to another. This

   decreases the number of times Word accesses the data document.

 - If you anticipate frequent switching from one document to another,

   activate record 1 in your main document. This eliminates the time

   you have to wait for Word to go from record 1 to the active record.

 - Temporarily restore your main document to a normal Word document

   while you do tasks that require you to switch from one application

   to another or from one document to another. As a normal document,

   Word no longer spends time accessing the data document. After you

   finish the tasks that require frequent switching, you can reattach

   the data document.

   To restore your main document to a normal Word document, do

   the following:

   1. From the Tools menu, choose Mail Merge.

   2. Choose the Create Button.

   3. In the list that appears, select Return To Normal Word Document.

 - If Word is accessing your data document using DDE, leave the data

   source application open. This eliminates the time you have to wait

   for the application to open each time Word accesses the data

   document.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Below is the process Word uses to open mail merge data documents and

access the current data record.

Data File Attached Using DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange)

----------------------------------------------------

1. Word determines whether the source application is running

   (for example, if your data document is a Microsoft Access

   database, Word checks to see if Microsoft Access is running).

2. If not, Word starts the source application and loads the data file.

3. Word retrieves the data for the current record, starting from

   record 1, using a DDE link.

Data File Attached Using Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)

----------------------------------------------------------

1. Word opens the data file using the ODBC driver.

2. Word retrieves the data for the current record, starting from

   record 1.

Canceling AutoOpen Macro Gives Hourglass--Appears Hung

Article ID: Q106470

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

If you create a template with an AutoOpen macro and open the

template by one of these methods

 - Start it from File Manager

 - Start it from an icon on the Program Manager

 - Start it from a client application

and then cancel the macro by pressing ESC, Word will display an

hourglass, making it appear that your system has hung (stopped

responding). The hourglass will stay displayed until you click the

mouse or press a key.

This problem does NOT occur if you open the file from the File menu.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

This is not a problem in Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh.

WORKAROUND

==========

To avoid this problem, design your macro to trap the ESC key, and then

use a SendKeys statement to send another ESC key when trapped. The

following WordBASIC macro demonstrates this:

Underline Problems with HP LaserJet 4/4M

Article ID: Q106472

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you use the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 4/4M printer driver

31.V1.18 or 31.V1.20 with Word 6.0 for Windows, the following

underline problems occur:

1. Single underlined sentences stop underlining at the end of each

   sentence or when italicized text is used. Therefore, between the

   sentences there is a gap of white space as large as the number of

   spaces between the sentences.

2. Word for Windows has problems printing a dotted underline with

   small font point sizes (less than 8). The underline will print as

   dashes. The width of the dashes is out of proportion to the size of

   the text.

3. Small caps regular characters (not uppercase characters) affect the

   width of the underline.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem when using the HP LaserJet

4/4M drivers 31.V1.18 or 31.V1.20.

RESOLUTION

==========

The underlining problems can be corrected by obtaining an updated HP

Laserjet 4/4M driver version 31.V1.26 (HPPCL5E.DRV). To obtain this update

contact the Hewlett Packard Fulfillment center at (303) 353-7650 or Hewlett

Packard Technical Support (208) 323-2551.

The HPPCL5E.DRV  printer driver is manufactured by Hewlett-Packard, a

vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,

regarding this product's performance or reliability.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article contains a list of documentation errors evident in the

"Microsoft Word User's Guide" for Word version 6.0 for Windows. The

errors listed are only those that impact the technical accuracy of the

instructions offered. Minor typographical errors are not covered here.

Page and Location     Action          Correction

-----------------     ------          ----------

86, para 1,           Replace text    If you want Word to fix an

last sentence                         error, regardless of case,

                                      specify a lowercase entry. For

                                      example, "documetn" fixes

                                      "documetn," "Documetn," and

                                      "DOCUMETN." The entry

                                      "Documetn" fixes "Documetn"

                                      and "DOCUMETN," but not

                                      "documetn." The entry

                                      "DOCUMETN" fixes only the

                                      uppercase error.

                                      you can also save it in

Cannot Delete Selected Space Following Punctuation

Article ID: Q106478

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you select a space following punctuation (such as a comma [,],

period [.], question mark [?], or colon [:]), Word for Windows may not

delete the space when you press DELETE or BACKSPACE or if you choose

Clear from the Edit menu.

The same thing happens if you try to delete a nonbreaking space that

follows punctuation.

For example, if you select the space following "cats," in the

following text and press DELETE, Word may not remove the space:

   cats, dogs and birds

CAUSE

=====

Word does not delete a selected space following punctuation if the

"Use Smart Cut and Paste" option is selected in the Edit options

dialog box. By contrast, if this space is not selected, you can delete

it. (To locate the "Use Smart Cut and Paste" option, choose Options

from the Tools menu and select the Edit tab.)

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

When the "Use Smart Cut and Paste" option is selected, use one of the

following procedures to delete the space that follows punctuation:

 - Do not select a space following punctuation if you want to delete

   it. Instead, position the insertion point before the space and

   press DELETE or choose Clear from the Edit menu.

   -or-

 - Position the insertion point after the space and press BACKSPACE.

   -or-

 - Select the punctuation and the space, delete both, and then retype

   the punctuation.

File Save Does Not Keep Levels Hidden in Outline View

Article ID: Q106502

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b,

   2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, versions 4.0, 5.0, and 5.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you save a document from outline view with hidden (collapsed)

levels, close it, and then reopen it, all hidden levels will show

again.

Word does not save information on viewing levels (used in outline

view) with a document. Therefore, upon reopening a document, all

levels will appear when you choose Outline view.

STATUS

======

This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in a

future release.

Header or Footer Text Overlaps Page Number

Article ID: Q106518

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh versions 5.1, 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you insert a page number in your header or footer using the Page

Number command on the Insert menu, text in your header or footer

overwrites the page number instead of wrapping around it. This happens

even though you select the Around option under Text Wrapping in the

Format Frame dialog box.

This problem occurs only if the page number is framed. It does not

occur if the page number is unframed or if the framed page number is

located in the body text of your document.

CAUSE

=====

When you use the Page Number command on the Insert menu to add a page

number to your document, Word places the page number in a frame. By

design, frames behave differently in a header or footer than in the

body text of your document. Specifically, in a header or footer,

frames behave like text boxes, which means text overwrites them.

By contrast, if you move the framed page number into the body of your

document, text wraps around the page number instead of overwriting it.

In other words, a framed page number behaves like any other frame in

the body of your document.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you do not want text to overwrite the page number in your header or

footer, remove the frame from it using the following instructions:

1. Select the frame.

2. From the Format menu, choose Frame.

3. Choose the Remove Frame button.

Error Message: "Cannot Find SHARE..." During Word Setup

Article ID: Q106557

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Word for Windows Setup program may display the following error

message if Setup cannot find the SHARE.EXE file on your system:

   Setup was unable to find SHARE.EXE on your system. It is

   required to run this application. Please fix your system

   and rerun Setup.

This may happen even if SHARE loads successfully from the MS-DOS

command prompt and is already running on your computer.

TWO CAUSES

==========

1. Word cannot find SHARE.EXE if you used the MS-DOS SUBST command to

   substitute a drive letter for a path, even if the substituted drive

   is in your PATH statement. For example, if you substitute X: for

   your C:\DOS directory (MS-DOS command: SUBST X: C:\DOS) and then

   include X: in your PATH statement, Word does not find SHARE.EXE,

   and the error message occurs.

2. Word cannot find SHARE.EXE if your PATH statement lists the

   directory where SHARE.EXE is located but does not include the drive

   (for example, "\DOS" instead of "C:\DOS").

For information about this error message when you install Word on a

network workstation, query on the following words in the Microsoft

Knowledge Base:

   diskless and workstation and 6.00 and word and share.exe

RESOLUTION

==========

Before you run Word Setup again, modify the PATH statement in your

AUTOEXEC.BAT file so it includes the complete path, including the

drive, to SHARE.EXE. Then restart your computer so the change can

take effect. For example, if SHARE.EXE is located in the C:\DOS

directory, make sure your PATH statement contains the following:

   path c:\dos

Word Setup adds SHARE to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file with the following

parameters:

   c:\dos\share.exe /L:500 /F:5100

NOTE: If you are running MS-DOS version 4.01, Setup places SHARE in

your CONFIG.SYS file instead.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Setup program used by Word uses the following search hierarchy to

locate SHARE.EXE on the system:

 - If there is a SHARE command already in the CONFIG.SYS or

   AUTOEXEC.BAT file, Setup looks in the location stated.

 - If this fails or if SHARE is not in either file, Setup searches

   the PATH statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT for the location of

   SHARE.EXE.

If Setup still cannot find SHARE.EXE, it displays the "Unable to find

SHARE.EXE..." error message.

Errors Opening or Saving Files in Word 6.0 for Windows

Article ID: Q106558

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1,

   running in standard mode (does not apply when

   running in enhanced mode)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

 - The following error message may occur in Word for Windows when you

   attempt to save a file:

      Word cannot save or create this file. Make sure the disk is not

      write protected. <path><filename>

 - The following error messages may occur when you attempt to open a

   second or third file in Word

      File is in use by another user. <path><filename>

   -or-

      This file is currently in use by another application or user

   followed by:

      Cannot open document.

 - The following error message may occur when you open a file based on

   a template in Word:

      Sorry, there is not enough disk space to make a

      required file in your temp directory.

 -or-

      Word cannot open the document.

   Note: The above error will only occur on systems running Windows 3.1, or

   Windows for Workgroups 3.1 in Standard mode. Windows for Workgroups 3.1

   in Enhanced mode should not have this problem because Workgroups uses

   the device driver, VSHARE.386 for file locking.

CAUSE

=====

All of the above error messages occur if you set the parameters for

SHARE.EXE too low (by decreasing or removing the /L locks parameter

from the SHARE command line). Word requires from three to eight file

locks for each document it opens.

The Word Setup program sets 500 file locks, so this problem does not

occur unless you decrease or remove the SHARE parameters after running

Word Setup.

None of the following affect this problem: location of Word document,

location of TEMP directory, APPEND settings, FASTOPEN, or DBLSPACE.

IMPORTANT: If you have not restarted your computer since installing

Word, the SHARE settings in your AUTOEXEC.BAT (or CONFIG.SYS) file may

be correct, but the settings have not yet taken effect. In this case,

you need to exit Word, exit Windows and restart your computer so the

correct SHARE settings can take effect.

RESOLUTIONS

===========

 - Update to Word 6.0a and use the VSHARE.386 device driver.

 - Close some of your open documents to free some file locks.

   -or-

 - Increase the SHARE file locks (/L) parameter and restart your

   computer.

Microsoft recommends that you start SHARE with the following parameters:

   C:\DOS\SHARE /L:500 /F:5100

Note: Depending on your needs, you can use lower SHARE settings,

which conserves conventional memory. If you decrease the file locks

(/L) or file space (/F) settings and the above problems recur,

simply increase the settings and restart your computer so the changes

can take effect. When you increase the /L parameter, you may also

need to increase the value of /F.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word Setup adds SHARE to your AUTOEXEC.BAT system file with the

following parameters:

   <path>SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F:5100

Note: If you are running MS-DOS version 4.01, Word Setup does not

place SHARE in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Instead, Setup adds SHARE to

your CONFIG.SYS system file with the following parameters:

   INSTALL=<path>\SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F:5100

SHARE must be loaded before you can run Word 6.0 or any other OLE 2.0

application under Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.1 in standard

mode. SHARE loads at the command prompt (usually through your AUTOEXEC.BAT

or CONFIG.SYS file) before you start Windows, and it runs in conventional

memory.

The /L SHARE parameter sets the number of files that can be locked at

one time. The default value is 20.

The /F SHARE parameter allocates file space (in bytes) for the MS-DOS

storage area used to record file-sharing information. The default

value is 2048.

For more information about SHARE, refer to your MS-DOS documentation.

"Find Whole Words Only" and "Match Case" Are Unavailable

Article ID: Q106615

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word, the Find Whole Words Only option and Match Case

option are unavailable when you select Use Pattern Matching.

CAUSE

=====

Selecting Use Pattern Matching actually has the effect of turning on

these other options. When you type text in the Find What box and

select Use Pattern Matching, Word will match the case of the typed

words and will find only whole words.

You can override these implied options by using Advanced Search

Criteria. For example, to search for a word which may appear in the

document as "JONES", "Jones", or "jones", select the Use Pattern Match

check box and type the following in the Find What box:

     [Jj][Oo][Nn][Ee][Ss]

Including each uppercase and lowercase pair in brackets tells Word to

search for either letter in that position.

Can't Choose "Find Whole Words Only" with More Than One Word

Article ID: Q106622

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word, the Find Whole Words Only option becomes unavailable (dimmed) when

you type more than one word in the Find What box of the Edit Find or Edit

Replace dialog box. This behavior differs from that of Word versions 1.x

and 2.x for Windows.

CAUSE

=====

The use of the plural "words" in "Find Whole Words Only" refers to

finding multiple instances of the word in the document.

WORKAROUND

==========

Select the Use Pattern Matching option when you want to find whole

words and you are searching for more than one word.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Find Whole Words Only instructs Word to find complete words only, and

not to find words that contain the desired word. For example, if you

type the word "boat" in the Find What box, and do not select Find

Whole Words Only, Word will find "boat," "boathouse," and "sailboat."

Disk Error While Saving, Embedded Object Becomes a Box

Article ID: Q106632

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When an embedded object is moved within a document by cutting and pasting,

by dragging and dropping, or by text changes preceding it, followed by a

full save of the document, the object may change in appearance and may no

longer be editable. Subsequent attempts to save the document may result in

the following error message

   Disk is full writing to drive x:

where "x" is the drive you are trying to save to.

Related error message:

   There are too many edits in this document.

   This operation will be incomplete. Save your work.

NOTE: With Allow Fast Saves turned on, Word will do a full save

periodically based upon the complexity of the document or the number of

times it has been previously fast saved.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. This

problem was corrected in of Word version 6.0a for Windows. For information

on obtaining Word 6.0a, see the "How To Obtain Word 6.0a" section at the

end of this article.

WORKAROUND

==========

To reduce the chance of this problem occurring, turn on the Allow Fast

Saves option by choosing Options from the Tools menu, selecting the Save

tab, and selecting the Allow Fast Saves option.

If the problem does occur, use the following procedure to save your

document. The OLE object may be lost and may have to be re-created. Some

Word-6.0-specific formatting may not be retained in the Word 2.0 format.

1. Save the file in Word 2.0 format.

2. Immediately after saving in Word 2.0 format, choose Save from the File

   menu.

   The Save Format dialog box will say that the file is a Word for Windows

   2.0 format file and ask if the file should be saved in Word, or Word for

   Windows 2.0.

3. Choose the Word button (to save in Word 6.0 format).

If any OLE objects appear as boxes in your Word document, you must delete

and re-create them.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Closing and reopening the document preserves the object if no part of the

offending document has been copied or cut and pasted into a new document.

This is because if no Clipboard functions have taken place when you close

the document, Word deletes the temporary work copy of the document, and you

are left with the last successfully saved file. Clipboard functions cause

Word to incorporate the changes in the temporary file into the good copy of

the file. Thus, the damaged object is saved to the current copy of the

file.

Saving the damaged document to Rich Text Format (RTF) has the same effect

as a Clipboard function, and the object will be lost.

Visual Basic Does Not Support Passing Parameters by Reference

Article ID: Q106642

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Using a Microsoft Visual Basic application, you cannot pass parameters

"by reference."  Visual Basic passes all parameters "by value."

Note: This is not a limitation of OLE Automation but of Visual Basic

version 3.0.

WORKAROUND

==========

The quickest way to workaround this limitation is to surround the

parameter being passed with parantheses, "()".  For example:

   Word.FileOpen A$

passes the parameter by reference (default). Changing the command to:

   Word.FileOpen (A$)

forces the parameter to be passed by value. This will return the evaluated

value.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When a value is passed as an argument to a subroutine by value, a copy

of the data is passed to the subroutine. If the subroutine should

alter the data, the variable in the calling subroutine will go

untouched since it is working with copy of the data.

If a variable is passed as an argument to a subroutine by reference,

the subroutine and the calling subroutine actually share the same

variable. If the subroutine should alter the variable, the variable in

the calling subroutine will also be altered. This is the default

mechanism Word uses for parameter passing.

Paste Link Unavailable Copying Access Table from the Clipboard

Article ID: Q106647

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Paste Link option is not available when you choose Paste Special

from the Edit menu after you copy a Microsoft Access database table to

the Clipboard.

STATUS

======

The Paste Link option is available when using Word version 6.0a. A Paste

Link will still not update correctly. This is due to a problem in Access.

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To create a link to a Microsoft Access table in your Word document,

use the Database command on the Insert menu. In the Insert Data dialog

box, be sure to check the Insert Data As A Field check box. This will

allow you to update your data by pressing F9.

Note: If the linked field from Access is re-formatted in Word, the

formatting will be lost when F9 is pressed to update this field.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Another way to create a link to a Microsoft Access table is to

manually insert a DDE field into your document. For example:

   {DDE MSAccess "database.mdb;Table tablename" All \* mergeformat \t}

To create this field manually, press CTRL+F9 to create the field

brackets, type in the above field code, and press F9 to update the

field and establish the link. The database must be open to

successfully create and update the link.

Hanging Indents Are Not Recorded Using Format Style

Article ID: Q106648

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you record a macro that creates a Bullets and Numbering style, Word

for Windows does not record any hanging indent formatting you define.

For example, if your recorded macro creates a numbering style with the

following style definition, the "Hanging 0.25"" portion of the

definition is missing when you run the macro and examine the resulting

style:

   Normal + Indent: Hanging 0.25", Auto Numbering

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. We

are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To record a macro that retains the hanging indent formatting in your

style definition, choose the Modify button in the Tools Bullets and

Numbering dialog box after you select the bullet or numbering style. You do

not need to change any settings in the Modify Numbered List or Modify

Bulleted List dialog boxes; simply choosing OK causes Word to record the

hanging indent formatting. Below are step-by-step instructions for this

workaround:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

2. Type a Macro Name and then choose the Record button.

3. Modify any settings in the Record Macro dialog box and then choose

OK.

4. From the Format menu, choose Style.

5. Choose the New button and then choose the Format button. From the

   list that appears, select Numbering.

6. Select the desired Bulleted or Numbered list style and then choose

   the Modify button.

7. Choose OK in the Modify Numbered List or Modify Bulleted List

   dialog box, then choose OK in the Bullets and Numbering dialog box.

8. Choose OK in the New Style dialog box and then choose Close in the

   Format Style dialog box.

9. Choose the Stop button on the Macro toolbar.

Tips and Known Problems for Word Assistant Components

=====================================================

Templates: Tips

---------------

 - If you customize the look of a Word Assistant template by changing

   the point size of a predefined style, adjust line spacing to match

   the new point size or select "single" to let Word set line spacing

   automatically. If you don't adjust line spacing, both the

   insertion point and the affected text will look clipped (if you

   increased point size) or widely spaced (if you decreased point

   size).

 - When you insert a clip-art image in a Word Assistant template,

   apply the "Picture" style to it, or choose the Paragraph command

   from the Format menu to set the picture's line spacing to "single."

   Either approach will make the image display correctly.

Forms: Known Problems

---------------------

 - Changing the International Windows settings in Control Panel does

   not automatically change the settings in Word forms. You must

   unprotect the form, change the format of the field, then reprotect

   the form.

 - Tabbing through a field that contains a negative number disrupts the

   formatting. As a result, Word won't recognize the field as a valid

   numeric entry and won't add the number into totals. To correct this,

   you will have to manually adjust the formatting of the field.

Font Selector: Tips

-------------------

 - Font Selector builds its database file, FONTTOOL.DBF, when you

   install Word Assistant. If the file becomes corrupted or is

   accidentally deleted, follow these steps to rebuild it: 1) exit

   Word, 2) delete FONTTOOL.DBF from your Windows directory, and

   3) restart Word. The next time you start Font Selector, it will

   automatically rebuild its database.

 - You can customize Font Selector by changing its initialization

   file, FONTSEL.INI:

    - To put the Font Selector button on the Standard toolbar, add

      the following lines after the [Settings] section:

         [Misc]

         Button=1

      After making this adjustment, exit Word and restart it to

      see the changes take effect.

    - You also can customize the point size of fonts displayed in

      the As Font and Normal views by changing these values in the

      [Settings] section:

       - To set the size of fonts displayed in As Font view, type

         "AsFontSize=18". (Note: some video drivers limit AsFontSize

         to 16 points.)

       - To set the size of fonts displayed in Normal view, type

         "NormalSize=10".

      In these examples, substitute the point sizes you want for

      "18" and "10." For these settings to take effect, you must

      exit Word,delete FONTTOOL.DBF, then restart Word.

 - If you want to assign Font Selector to a toolbar button, menu,

   or shortcut key, create a macro that looks like the following:

      Sub MAIN

      FontSelector

      End Sub

   Then assign the macro to the button, menu, or key using the

   procedures in the Word Help topic, "Customizing and Optimizing

   Word."

 - If you are running Adobe Type Manager(r) (ATM), you can stop Font

   Selector from rebuilding its database every time you start it.

   Just remove all ATM fonts whose names match exactly the names of

   TrueType fonts installed on your system.

Font Selector: Known Problems

----------------------------

 - If you change button sizes in Word, the changes won't take effect

   until you exit, and then restart Font Selector.

 - If you want to assign Special Paper to a toolbar button, menu, or

   shortcut key, create a macro that looks like the following:

      Sub MAIN

      SpecialPaper

      End Sub

   Then assign the macro to the button, menu, or key using the

   procedures in the Word Help topic, "Customizing and Optimizing

   Word."

 - If you insert a Special Paper design into a template, copy the

   FilePrint and FilePrintDefault macros from file SPECPPR.DOT to

   your template. To do this, choose the Macros command from the

   Tools menu, and then choose the Organizer button. For details

   on using the Organizer, see the Word Help topic, "Copying Styles

   from a Document or Template."

Special Paper: Known Problems

-----------------------------

 - If you insert a Special Paper design before Word creates NORMAL.DOT

   (that is, the very first time you run Word), you will see this

   error: "C:\<WinWord path>\normal.dot does not exist," where

   <WinWord path> is the location of WINWORD.EXE. Special Paper's

   macros won't be copied to the Special Paper template and Special

   Paper won't work properly. To force Word to create NORMAL.DOT, exit

   and restart Word.

 - With some display drivers, Special Paper may cause Word to freeze

   after you insert a Special Paper design in page layout view with the

   zoom level set to 50% or greater. To prevent a freeze, modify the

   WINWORD6.INI file by setting BITMAPMEMORY=0 (for details on this

   setting, see the Special Paper online Help topic, "Drawing Special

   Paper Designs Faster").

 - Double-clicking the Special Paper design can affect functionality.

   You won't lose text, but Special Paper might not give you the

   option of printing a proof copy. To restore this option, choose

   Close Picture on the Picture toolbar, delete the design, and then

   reinsert it.

 - The file SPECPPR.DOT must reside in the SPCLPPR subdirectory of

   Word. If you move SPECPPR.DOT to a different directory, selecting

   a Special Paper design will give this error: "Word Error=1084."

Setup: Tips

-----------

 - You cannot launch any of Word Assistant's .WLL files from MS-DOS

   using Word's /l startup switch.

Setup: Known Problems

---------------------

 - If you select the Custom/Complete option and specify a directory

   for Font Assistant, you may see this warning message: "Setup has

   detected an older version of Microsoft Word Assistant in the

   destination directory." Ignore this warning. The Setup program

   will install Font Assistant in the directory you specified.

 - If Setup incorrectly reports that Word version 6 is not installed,

   exit Setup, and then add the following statement to the [Microsoft

   Word] section of WINWORD6.INI: PROGRAMDIR=<WinWord path>. Here,

   <WinWord path> is the location of WINWORD.EXE. Then run the Setup

   program again.

 - If you've changed the Startup directory listed on the File Locations

   tab when you choose the Options command from the Tools menu (and in

   the STARTUP-PATH variable in WINWORD6.INI), Word Assistant will not

   install its .WLL files correctly. To resolve this, set Startup to

   <WinWord path>\STARTUP where <WinWord path> is the location of

   WINWORD.EXE. Next, run the Setup program again, and choose Remove

   All. Finally, run the Setup program one more time to install Word

   Assistant correctly.

Tips for Users

==============

If your system has many fonts

-----------------------------

 - If your system has many installed fonts, fonts may begin to

   appear in the Arial typeface. This substitution probably

   indicates a lack of Windows GDI resource. To eliminate the

   substitution, use Font Assistant to deactivate fonts you are

   not using or use Control Panel to remove unused fonts.

If you're using the new Microsoft Mouse

---------------------------------------

 - If you're using the new, ergonomic Microsoft Mouse, be sure to

   upgrade to version 9.01 of the Mouse software.

Manually Decompressing the Files

================================

 - All files on the Word Assistant disks are compressed. The Setup

   program will decompress the files during installation. You can,

   however, decompress them manually using the DECOMP.EXE program

   that comes on Disk 1. DECOMP.EXE can decompress all Word Assistant

   files except those used only by the Setup program itself.

   To use DECOMP.EXE, insert Disk 1 into drive A (or B), and then

   copy DECOMP.EXE to c:\. Remove Disk 1, and then insert the disk

   containing the file you want to decompress. Next, at a DOS prompt,

   type the following:

      c:\DECOMP a:\filename.ex_ c:\dir_name\filename.ext

   Here filename.ex_ is the name of the file you want to

   decompress, and c:\dir_name\filename.ext is the full name of

   the decompressed file on your hard disk.

Tips for Network Administrators

===============================

Creating a Network Setup

------------------------

 - Create a directory (for example, WA10) from which to install Word

   Assistant. Within that directory, create a DISK1 directory and a

   DISK2 directory, and then copy the contents of Disk 1 and Disk 2

   into their respective directories. Tell the users to run the Setup

   program from the DISK1 directory. Every user must either have a

   legal copy of Word Assistant or must be covered by a site license

   for it.

Installing to Windows on a Network

----------------------------------

 - When running the Word Assistant Setup program, set the Windows

   system directory to read/write so the Setup program installs

   the  .TTF and .FIF files correctly. If the directory is set to

   read-only, the Setup program will fail.

Installing to Word on a Network

-------------------------------

 - The Word Assistant Setup program will install all components

   properly except for the .WLL files: BANNER.WLL, FONTTOOL.WLL,

   SPCLPPR.WLL, and WASSTHLP.WLL. Users must manually copy the .WLL

   files to their local Word startup directories before starting

   Word Assistant.

FindFile .SearchPath Argument Ignored with File Extension

Article ID: Q106653

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If a file specification (for example, *.doc) is included in the

.SearchPath parameter of the FileFind command, that parameter will be

ignored.

CAUSE

=====

Because Word 6.0 can search for multiple file extensions, it does not

accept file specifications on the end of the .SearchPath parameter.

Below is an example of a FileFind .SearchPath parameter that is valid

in Word 2.x but ignored in Word 6.0:

   FileFind .SearchPath = "C:\Winword\*.Doc"

A correct .SearchPath parameter for Word 6.0 is

   FileFind .SearchPath = "C:\Winword"

with the "*.Doc" entered in the .Name parameter if necessary.

When macros are converted from Word 2.x to Word 6.0, file

specifications, if any, are not removed from the .SearchPath parameter

of the FileFind command. Therefore, these macros--once converted--will

not run properly without being edited.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Long Endnote Separator Used with Exactly One Page of Text

Article ID: Q106654

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When there is exactly one page of text and you insert an endnote, the

long continuation separator is used on the second page instead of the

normal short separator.

CAUSE

=====

When there is not enough room at the bottom of the page for the

endnote to be inserted, a long continuation separator is used on the

following page instead of the shorter normal separator.

You can change the separator manually by following the instructions

in the "Microsoft Word User's Guide," Chapter 18, "Footnotes and

Endnotes," "Changing Separators and Adding Continuation Notices"

section.

GetText$ Is Dependent on ViewFieldCodes

Article ID: Q106655

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you use the GetText$() WordBasic function to return a text string that

contains a field in Word for Windows, you may obtain unpredictable results.

With field codes turned on, GetText$() may return the field text enclosed

in pipe characters (|). For example, GetText$() might return the following

string for a SYMBOL field:

   |Symbol 255|

With field codes turned off, Word may return the field result enclosed in

pipe characters (|).

Run the following macro once with the Field Codes option selected, then run

the macro again with the Field Codes option cleared to demonstrate this

problem. (To locate the Field Codes option, choose Options from the Tool

menu, then select the View tab).

Sub Main

   FileNewDefault

   X$=String$(55,"x")

   insert X$

   StartOfDocument

   CharRight 5

   InsertField.Field ="Symbol 255"

   Result$=GetText$(0,30)

   Msgbox Result$

End Sub

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 for Windows. We

are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Turn off Field Codes and use the CleanString$() function to remove the

unwanted characters. The following macro demonstrates this workaround.

(Turn off Field Codes view before you run this macro.)

Sub Main

   FileNewDefault

   x$ = String$(55, "x")

   Insert X$

   StartOfDocument

   CharRight 5

   InsertField .Field = "symbol 255"

   Result$ = CleanString$(GetText$(0, 30))

   Insert Result$

End Sub

MORE INFORMATION

================

GetText$() does not return hidden text that is not displayed, even though

Word counts hidden characters when determining the range of text to return.

Though GetText$() can be handy if you need to return document text without

changing the selection, special document elements such as fields, tables,

and page breaks within the specified range can produce unpredictable

results.

Reset Ignore All Button Doesn't Reflect Ignore Options

Article ID: Q106656

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The availability of the Reset Ignore All button under Ignore in the

Spelling Options dialog box is unrelated to the status of the adjacent

Words In UPPERCASE and Words With Numbers check boxes.

The Reset Ignore All button corresponds to the list Word creates when

you choose the Ignore All option during a spelling check operation.

(To open the Spelling Options dialog box, choose the Options button in

the Tools Spelling dialog box, or choose Options from the Tools menu

and then select the Spelling tab.)

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Reset Ignore All button under Ignore in the Spelling Options

dialog box clears the list of words for which you chose the Ignore All

button during the current Word session. This button becomes available

only after you choose the Ignore All button during a spelling check

operation. When you choose the Ignore All button, Word builds a list,

in binary file format, that it uses for later spelling check

operations in the current Word session. Word automatically clears this

list when you exit the program, but if you want to clear the list

without exiting Word, choose the Reset Ignore All button.

Customizing the Font Selector in Word Assistant

Article ID: Q106657

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

You can customize the Font Selector (FS) through its initialization

file, FONTSEL.INI. This file is located in the Windows program

directory.

Word Assistant (WA) is an add-on program to Word version 6.0 for

Windows. WA contains several components, including:

   Templates

   Forms

   TrueType Fonts

   Special Paper

   Font Selector

   Extensive Help

   Clip Art

   Font Assistant

MORE INFORMATION

================

WA modifies the Format menu in Word 6.0 for Windows to include FS.

This utility is used to format text and to display fonts as printed.

It is true WYSIWYG ("what you see is what you get"). You can modify

this utility to better suit your needs. The modification is done

through the FONTSEL.INI file. This is the initialization file for the

FS component of WA.

The following is a sample FONTSEL.INI file with comments and settings

to modify the look of Font Selector options:

   [Window Position]

   Left=340

   Top=83              > Determines the position and size of

   Width=501             the FS on startup.

   Height=619

   [Settings]

   Tab=Normal          > Used to set the default tab on startup.

                         Normal or As Font.

   AsFontSize=24       > Sets the size of fonts displayed in

                         the As Font view.

   NormalSize=24       > Sets the size of fonts displayed in

                         the Normal view.

   [Misc]

   button=1            > Puts the Font Selector Button on the

                         Standard Toolbar.

NOTE: Changes will take effect during the next instance of Word 6.0

for Windows. If you make a change to the FONTSEL.INI file, the FS

database file, FONTTOOL.DBF, must be regenerated. This is done when FS

is started from the Format menu.

Insertion Point Stays in Form Field with Protection Turned Off

Article ID: Q106658

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you fill out a field in a protected document, and then turn

document protection off, the insertion point remains in the field.

This may pose a problem if you continue typing and then turn

protection on. When protection is turned on, all data in the form

fields is erased.

STATUS

======

This functionality is by design.

WORKAROUND

==========

Make it obvious that the insertion point is still in a field by

setting the Field Shading option to Always. (To locate the Field

Shading options, choose Options from the Tools menu, and select the

View tab. Field Shading is in the Show section.)

Graphic Displays and Previews as Blank Box

Article ID: Q106677

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Some graphics (especially large ones) may not display in Word. In their

place, a blank box appears, both in your document and in print preview. The

graphic prints correctly, however.

Opening and closing the document does not redisplay the graphic.

This happens even if the Picture Placeholders option in the View

options dialog box is not selected (to open this dialog box, choose

Options from the Tool menu and then select the View tab).

CAUSE

=====

This is a display problem only.

Sometimes the graphic displays when you first open the file, then, if

you edit the graphic by double-clicking it and then close the picture

editing window, the graphic disappears.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Method 1: Sometimes you can redisplay the graphic by copying it to the

          Windows Clipboard, exiting, restarting Word, and then pasting the

          graphic in your Word document. Regardless of whether the graphic

          displays, it prints correctly.

Method 2: The file size and complexity needs to be reduced for the graphic

          to display. A graphics program, such as Adobe Photo Shop or JASC

          Inc. Paint Shop, is required to reduce the resolution of the

          graphic.  Decreasing the resolution will reduce the graphic's

          file size allowing it to display.  For example, if a graphic has

          a resolution of 3600 x 4400 pixels at 600 dots per inch (dpi),

          decreasing its resolution by half (1800 x 2200) at fewer dots per

          inch (75 dpi) will allow the graphic to  display.  This can

          reduce the file size from 2 megabytes to 500 kilobytes.

WordBasic Error When Adding a Symbol Font to a Menu

Article ID: Q106679

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you record or create a WordBasic macro that adds the Symbol font to

a menu, keystroke, or toolbar, Word generates the following

WordBasic error message:

   WordBasic Err=24

   Bad parameter

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs because Symbol is the name of a font and the name

of a command.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. This

prblem was corrected in Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh. We

are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

This problem does not occur if you add the Symbol font to a menu,

keystroke, or toolbar without using a macro.

Some Paragraphs Not Changed When You Choose AutoFormat Command

Article ID: Q106685

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

- Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

=========

AutoFormat does not apply styles to all paragraphs of the document.

CAUSE

======

The AutoFormat option Preserve Previously Applied Styles (which is on

by default) prevents AutoFormat from modifying paragraphs formatted

with styles other than Normal and Body Text. (To locate this option,

choose AutoFormat from the Format menu, choose the Options button, and

choose the AutoFormat tab--or, choose Options from the Tools menu, and

choose the AutoFormat tab.)

The Normal and Body Text styles are built-in Word styles. Style names

are case sensitive, so paragraphs formatted with user-created styles

named "normal" or "body text" (all lowercase) are not modified by

AutoFormat when Preserve Previously Applied Styles is selected.

Selection$() in a Table May Return Nothing

Article ID: Q106709

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Selection$() returns varying information when the selection occurs in

a table. The result varies depending on the content of the selection.

Under some conditions, selection$() returns nothing.

Case 1

------

Selection$() returns a null value if a single cell is selected or

multiple cells are selected, including cell markers, and the

end-of-row marker is not selected.

Case 2

------

Selection$() returns a list of values for selections that include the

end-of-row marker. List items are separated by a bar to indicate a

cell break.

Case 3

------

Selection$() returns the text of a cell if the contents of the cell

are selected without the cell marker.

"Certificate of Merit" Does Not Print on Canon BJ-200 Printer

Article ID: Q106720

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you create an award certificate in Word for Windows using the Award

Wizard, "Certificate of Merit" may not print on a Canon BJ-200 printer

using the CANON3.DRV printer driver version 1.0.

The text displays on the screen and in print preview, but it does not

print.

CAUSE

=====

The text does not print on the Canon BJ-200 printer if you are using

an ATI video driver. If you are using a different video driver, such

as the standard Windows VGA video driver, the text prints as expected.

The Canon BJ-200 printer driver does not support the GDI calls needed

to print the "Certificate of Merit" text, so Windows calls the video

driver. The ATI video driver incorrectly rasterizes the text, so the

printer driver does not print it correctly.

STATUS

======

This is a problem with the ATI video driver, which is not manufactured

by Microsoft.

The ATI products included here are manufactured by vendors

independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,

regarding these products' performance or reliability.

WORKAROUND

==========

Switch to the standard VGA video driver, supplied with Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When a printer driver does not support certain GDI (Graphics Device

Interface) calls, Windows calls the video driver. For example, the

video driver commonly rasterizes TrueType fonts for the printer

driver. If the video driver supports these GDI calls incorrectly, the

printed output is incorrect.

New CUSTOM.DIC Is Not Created in the TOOLS-PATH Directory

Article ID: Q107082

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When the CUSTOM.DIC file is automatically created, it will not be

created in the directory designated by the TOOLS-PATH= setting in the

WINWORD6.INI file.

Instead, Word creates the file in the shared proofing tools directory

(usually C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\PROOF), or in the Word 6.0 for Windows

program directory (usually C:\WINWORD).

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. We

are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

To work around this problem, choose Options from the Tools menu,

select the File Locations tab, and note the location of the

"Dictionaries" file type. After your CUSTOM.DIC file is created, copy

it to this directory.

Password Protected Documents Missing Some Information

Article ID: Q107083

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

==========

Incomplete File information and Summary information is displayed in

the File Find dialog box when the document selected in the Listed

Files box has been password protected.

STATUS

=======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

==================

When you search for a file using the Word 6.0 Find File command from

the File menu, the Find File dialog box offers three views. The

Preview option displays a preview of the actual document, the Summary

option shows the File Summary Information, and the File Info option

shows the title, file size, author, and last saved date.

When a document is password protected, Word will prompt for the

password when you select the Preview option and will display a preview

of the document if you enter the correct password. Word will not

prompt for a password when you select either of the other views.

The Summary information option will only correctly display Creation

date and Last Saved date. Other Summary statistics may have data but

the information is incorrect; for example, Total Editing Time will be

zero. File Info view will correctly display the file size and the last

saved date.

"Invalid System Version" Loading SHARE.EXE

Article ID: Q107140

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you try to load SHARE.EXE, the following error message may occur

and SHARE does not load:

   Invalid System Version.

As a result, you cannot start Word for Windows, and the following

error message appears:

   You must exit Windows and load SHARE.EXE in order to run Word.

CAUSE

=====

You are attempting to load a version of SHARE from an earlier version

of MS-DOS. SHARE loads only if it is the same version as the MS-DOS

running on your computer.

RESOLUTION

==========

Use the following troubleshooting procedure to determine whether you

are trying to load an outdated version of SHARE:

1. If the "load SHARE.EXE" error message occurs when you try to

   start Word, you should first check your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to be

   sure it contains the following line:

      <path>\share.exe /L:500 /F:5100

   If this line is missing, add it, then save the file, and restart

   your computer.

   Note: If you are running MS-DOS version 4.01, SHARE is located in

   your CONFIG.SYS file instead of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

2. Check the file date of the SHARE.EXE file you are trying to load.

   If the file date is earlier than the file date of your COMMAND.COM

   file, you are using the wrong version of SHARE. The current version

   of SHARE should be located in your current MS-DOS directory, and it

   should have the same file date as COMMAND.COM.

   a. If your AUTOEXEC.BAT points to SHARE in a different directory,

      modify the path so it points to SHARE in the MS-DOS directory.

   b. If your AUTOEXEC.BAT points to SHARE in the current MS-DOS

      directory and that SHARE.EXE file is the wrong version, you must

      copy the correct version from your MS-DOS disks. See your MS-DOS

      documentation for more information.

Word Hangs After Edit Repeat Typing Operation

Article ID: Q107143

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word for Windows may hang (stop responding) the second time you choose

the Repeat Typing command from the Edit menu or press F4.

Repeat Typing command twice. Word does not hang if you press ENTER to

insert a paragraph mark before you insert the text box.

WORKAROUND

==========

Press ENTER to insert a paragraph mark before you insert a text box.

For example, if you use the following steps, Word does not hang:

1. In a new Word document, type "hello" (without the quotation marks).

2. Press ENTER.

   IMPORTANT: If you skip this step, Word hangs after step 7.

3. Display the Drawing toolbar by choosing the Drawing button on

   the Standard toolbar.

4. Choose the Text Box button on the Drawing toolbar. Drag to create

   a text box.

5. In the text box, type "there" (without the quotation marks).

6. Select "hello" in the document.

7. From the Edit menu, choose Repeat Typing. Repeat this step.

   Note: If you skipped step 2 above, Word hangs now.

   Error: Cannot save or create the file. Make sure the disk

   is not full or write protected.

WORKAROUND

==========

From the File menu select Save As. From the Save File as Type drop down

scroll box select Rich Text Format and choose OK.

TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS

=====================

Below is a list that contains possible causes for this error message

and resolutions or workarounds for each cause.

1. Cause: You have not restarted your computer since installing Word,

   so the SHARE settings in your AUTOEXEC.BAT (or CONFIG.SYS file, if

   you are running MS-DOS version 4.01) file may be correct, but the

   settings have not yet taken effect.

   Resolution 1: Exit Word, exit Windows and restart your computer so

   the correct SHARE settings can take effect. Microsoft recommends

   that you use the following SHARE parameters:

      /L:500 /F:5100

   For example the complete statment would read:

      C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F:5100

   For more information on the SHARE settings you should use with

   Word, query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

      share.exe and 6.00 and word and windows and setup

   Resolution 2: Update to Word for Windows 6.0a

   If you are using Word 6.0a and operating Windows in the 386 Enhanced

   mode, VSHARE.386 replaces the need to load the MS-DOS SHARE utility. To

   obtain Word version 6.0a see the section below titled, "How to Obtain

   the Word 6.0a Patch."

2. Cause: You may actually have insufficient disk space to save

   the file.

   Resolution: Check the drive where you want to save the file to be

   sure it is not full. While you are checking for available disk

   space, you should also check for and delete any extraneous

   temporary (.TMP) files.

3. Cause: You are running MasterWord or other third-party add-in

   programs that conflict with Word. There are two versions of

   MasterWord. MasterWord 2.0 causes this problem. For more information on

   updating MasterWord query: "Alki Software MasterWord available" in the

   MicrosoftKnowledge Base.

   Workaround: Exit Word, then restart with the /a switch. For more

   information on this switch, see the "Starting Word Without Loading

   Global Items" section at the end of Chapter 10 in the "Microsoft Word

   User's Guide."

4. Cause: The TEMP setting in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file points to an

   invalid location or to a drive with less than 6 to 8 MB available

   disk space.

   Resolution: Modify the SET TEMP line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT so it

   defines a valid location with at least 6 to 8 MB available disk

   space.

5. Cause: Microsoft has received several reports that older versions

   of Adobe Type Manager (ATM) conflict with Word 6.0.

   Workaround: To rule out this cause, exit Word, turn off ATM,

   and then exit and restart Windows. If the error message does not

   recur when you run Word, your older version of ATM may be causing

   the "Cannot Save File" error message. Phone ATM technical support

   for more information.

6. Cause: You loaded SHARE.EXE in the upper memory area using an upper

   memory manager (such as QEMM) other than the MS-DOS EMM386.EXE.

   Note: You should not have a problem running SHARE in upper memory

   when you use the MS-DOS EMM386.EXE upper memory manager and the

   MS-DOS LOADHIGH command.

   Workaround: Microsoft has received several reports that the "Cannot

   Save File" error message no longer occurs if you load SHARE in

   conventional memory instead of upper memory. To do this, remove

   "LOADHIGH" or "LH" from the SHARE.EXE line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT

   file. For example, change this line:

      LOADHIGH C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F: 5100

   to the following:

      C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F: 5100

   Note: Microsoft does not support the mixing of load high methods.

   You should not use the MS-DOS LOADHIGH command when you run a

   third-party upper memory manager such as QEMM.

7. Cause: Your EMM386.EXE settings are incorrect.

   Resolution: Make sure you are using correct EMM386.EXE settings.

   For example, change "EMM386.EXE RAM 2048" to "EMM386.EXE NOEMS".

   For information about EMM386.EXE settings, refer to your MS-DOS

   documentation.

8. Cause: You have more than one SHARE line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT

   or CONFIG.SYS.

   -or-

   You have a SHARE line in both your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS

   file.

   Resolution: Remove all but one SHARE line from your AUTOEXEC.BAT

   or CONFIG.SYS file.

9. Cause: The FILES or BUFFERS settings in your CONFIG.SYS file may be

   too low.

   Resolution: Set FILES=60 in your CONFIG.SYS file unless you

   have a software application that requires a higher setting. Set

   BUFFERS=10 in your CONFIG.SYS file if you use SMARTDRV.EXE. Using a

   high number of buffers with SMARTDRV will decrease efficiency. If you

   are not using SMARTDRV, set BUFFERS=30. More buffers may improve disk

   access times but will use more conventional memory. See your MS-DOS

   documentation for more information on the correct FILES and BUFFERS

   settings for your computer.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

You can check the status of SHARE by typing the following command at

the MS-DOS prompt (you should exit Windows first instead of using the

MS-DOS Prompt icon in Program Manager):

MS-DOS Version 6.0 or Later

---------------------------

   mem/m share

MS-DOS Version 5.0 and Earlier

------------------------------

   mem/c | more

This command reports the address and memory usage of SHARE. If you

are using the SHARE parameters set by Word Setup, the memory usage is

17,904 bytes.

The ATM and QEMM memory manager products included here are

manufactured by Adobe Systems, Inc., and Quarterdeck Office Systems,

respectively, vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty,

implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or

reliability.

Converting Password-Protected Documents in Word for Windows

Article ID: Q107200

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A password-protected document created in Word 6.0 for Windows and

saved in Word for Windows 2.0 format will not prompt the user for a

password when the document is opened in Word 2.0. The document will

open without the password.

A password-protected document saved in Word 6.0 for Windows native

format ("Word Document") and opened in Word 2.0 for Windows using the

MSWORD6.CNV will produce the following three messages after the

"Convert file from" dialog is accepted:

   Cannot open password-protected file.

   Not enough memory to complete operation.

   Word cannot open the document.

CAUSE

=====

When the document is saved in Word for Windows 2.0 format, the

password is not saved because the converter is based on the RTF

specification, and the password is not saved to RTF.

When the document is saved in Word 6.0 for Windows native format, the

MSWORD6.CNV does not support conversion of the password.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word 2.x and 6.0 for Windows have password-protection features that

require the user to type a case-sensitive password before opening the

protected document.

A password-protected document created in Word 2.x for Windows and

opened in Word 6.0 for Windows will prompt for the password. The

document will open when the password is correctly typed.

How to Add a Command to a Shortcut Menu

Article ID: Q107224

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

You can add commands to the shortcut menus (which you open in Word for

Windows by clicking the right mouse button) using the Customize command on

the Tools menu. This article lists the shortcut menus and provides an

example to show you how to add the Full Screen View command to the Text

shortcut menu.

Shortcut menus are context-sensitive, which means that Word determines

which menu to display based on the text or item you point to. For example,

the Text shortcut menu appears when you click-right on text in your

document, whereas the Table Cells shortcut menu appears when you click-

right in a table cell.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following shortcut menu names appear in the Tools Customize dialog box

under the Menus tab at the bottom of the Change What Menu list:

   Drawing Objects       Tables

   Drop Caps             Table Cells

   End Notes             Table Headings

   Fields                Table Lists

   Display Fields        Table Pictures

   Form Fields           Table Text

   Footnotes             Whole Tables

   Frames                Linked Whole Tables

   Headings              Text

   Linked Headings       Linked Text

   Lists                 Toolbars

   Pictures              Toolbar Customization

To customize a shortcut menu, do the following:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Customize.

2. Select the Menus tab.

3. From the Change What Menu list, select the shortcut menu you want to

   change. For example, to change the Text menu, select Text (Shortcut).

4. From the Categories and Commands lists, select the command you want to

   add. For example, to add the View Full Screen command, select View from

   the Categories list and select ToggleFull from the Commands list.

5. Select a position from the Position On Menu list.

6. If necessary, modify the Name On Menu and Save Changes In boxes and then

   choose the Add button.

7. Choose the Close button.

8. Point to some text in your document and click-right. Your newly added

   command should appear on the shortcut menu. For example, Toggle Full

   should now appear on the Text shortcut menu.

Find File List Does Not Refresh Correctly After Deleting File

Article ID: Q107225

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you delete a file from the Listed Files box in the Find File dialog

box after you perform a search based on Containing Text criteria, Word

for Windows appears to delete that file plus all subsequent files and

subdirectories in the list.

Furthermore, if you delete the first file in the list, Word appears to

delete all listed files and directories and displays the following

error message: "No matching files found." (To locate the Containing

Text search setting, choose Find File from the File menu. Choose the

Search button, then choose the Advanced Search button, and select the

Summary tab.)

This does not happen if you delete a file after you perform a search

based on another criterion, such as Title, Author, Keywords, or

Subject.

CAUSE

=====

Although Word does not actually delete the files or subdirectories,

they are no longer cached in memory. As a result, the

CountFoundFiles() and FoundFilesName$() WordBasic functions do not

find these files. If you rebuild the file list, Word once again caches

the files and displays them in the Listed Files.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes

available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Refresh the Listed Files box in the File Find File dialog box using

the following instructions:

1. Choose the Search button.

2. In the Search dialog box, select the Rebuild File List option and

   then choose OK.

TrueType Fonts Do Not Print Kerned

Article ID: Q107227

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

If you format a font with the Kerning For Fonts option selected, the

output on the screen will accurately represent the kerning option

applied, but the fonts may not print out kerned. (To locate the

Kerning For Fonts option, choose Font from the Format menu, and select

the Character Spacing tab.)

CAUSE

=====

If the kerning points size set in the Points And Above box is not set

equal to the point size of the font, the fonts do not print out

kerned. Instead of serving as a threshold, as intended, this setting serves

as a fixed value.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. This

problem was corrected in version 6.0a of Word for Windows. For information

on obtaining Word 6.0a, see the "How To Obtain Word 6.0a" section at the

bottom of this article.

WORKAROUND

==========

Set the Points And Above option equal to the point size the font was

formatted for.

TrueType Fonts Display with Jagged Edges

Article ID: Q107228

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

TrueType fonts display with jagged edges in a Word 6.0 for Windows

document, while ATI Crystal fonts display with non-jagged edges. For

example, a TrueType 6-point font may display with jagged edges while

an ATI Crystal 6-point font displays with sharp clean edges.

CAUSE

=====

TrueType fonts are not being "anti-aliased," while the Crystal fonts

are. Anti-aliasing is the process of adding gray scale around the

edges of a font to eliminate any jagged edges. This process occurs

when ATI Crystal fonts are run through the video card.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. This

problem was corrected in version 6.0a of Word for Windows. For information

on obtaining Word 6.0a, see the "How To Obtain Word 6.0a" section at the

General Protection (GP) Fault Running Word 6.0 Help

Article ID: Q107349

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOM

=======

A general protection (GP) fault error may occur when you start Help in

Word for Windows. Your system may hang (stop responding), requiring

you to restart your computer.

CAUSE

=====

The GP Fault occurs if the PATH statement (located in your

AUTOEXEC.BAT file) contains more than 128 characters. The SHARERES.DLL

file, supplied with Word, does not support a PATH statement longer

than 128 characters.

You might have a PATH statement longer than 128 characters if you run

Microsoft Windows NT version 3.1. If you are running MS-DOS version 6.0

or

6.2, you can use a SET statement in your CONFIG.SYS file to set a PATH

longer than 128 characters. Some third-party applications, such as NDOS,

by Norton Utilities, or 4DOS, by JP Software, Inc., support longer PATH

statements.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. This

problem was corrected in version 6.0a of Word for Windows. To obtain new or

updated Microsoft products, call Microsoft Sales Information Center at 800)

426-9400. If you are outside the United States, contact the Microsoft

subsidiary for your area. To locate your subsidiary, call Microsoft

International Customer Service at (206) 936-8661.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

 - Shorten the PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to 128

   characters or less. Microsoft recommends this workaround, as it

   requires the least modification to your system.

Installing Bookshelf 1993 with Word 6.0 for Windows

Article ID: Q107350

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The Word for Windows integration features included with Microsoft

Bookshelf 1993 will work correctly with Word 6.0 for Windows. However,

because the Bookshelf 1993 Setup program is designed to work with Word

2.x for Windows only, Setup will not successfully install those

features with Word 6.0.

The Word and Bookshelf integration features must be manually installed

to function properly.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Use the following steps to install the Word and Bookshelf integration

features for Word 6.0 for Windows to successfully communicate with

Bookshelf 1993.

These steps do not install the Online Word User's Guide included with

Bookshelf 1993. This guide is designed exclusively for use with Word

2.x for Windows.

Note: These steps assume Word 6.0 for Windows is already installed and

functioning normally.

 1. Install Bookshelf 1993 according to its instructions. When given

    the option to install Word 2.0 for Windows Integration, do not.

    This option should not be checked. It will not function correctly

    with Word 6.0 installed.

 2. Copy the following files from the Bookshelf 1993 CD-ROM to the

    directories listed below (where "WINDOWS" is the name of your

    Windows program directory and "WINWORD" is the name of your Word

    6.0 for Windows program directory):

       File to be Copied from          Directory to Copy File to

       \VIEWER\BS93WORD Directory      on Hard Drive

       --------------------------      -------------------------

       BOOKSHLF.INI                    \WINDOWS

       BOOKSHLF.DLL                    \WINDOWS\SYSTEM

       WORDDDE.DAT                     \WINWORD

       DDEAPP.EXE                      \WINWORD

 3. Add the following text to the [Bookshelf] section of the WIN.INI

    file:

       Viewerpath=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MVIEWER2

       Bookspath=D:\BOOKS\

       Integration=2

       SendToDlg=1

       HelpFile=C:\WINWORD\WINWORD.HLP

    If your Windows directory is located somewhere other than

    C:\WINDOWS, modify the path given on the "Viewerpath" line above

    to reflect the correct path.

    If your CD-ROM drive uses a drive letter other than D:, modify the

    "Bookspath" line above to reflect the correct drive letter.

    If your Word 6.0 for Windows directory is located somewhere other

    than C:\WINWORD, modify the "HelpFile" line above to reflect the

    correct path.

 4. If Word 2.x for Windows was previously installed, check for the

    existence of the section [Microsoft Word 2.0] in the WIN.INI file.

    If found, make certain a "programdir" line exists specifying the

    correct path to the Word 6.0 for Windows program directory.

    If Word 2.x for Windows was not previously installed, or if the

    section [Microsoft Word 2.0] cannot be located in the WIN.INI

    file, create a new section with that name and add the following

    line of text to it:

       programdir=C:\WINWORD

    If the Word 6.0 for Windows program directory is located in a

    directory other than C:\WINWORD, modify the "programdir" line

    above to reflect the correct path.

 5. Start Word 6.0 for Windows.

 6. Using the Open command from the File menu, open the following

    document template:

       D:\VIEWER\BS93WORD\BSHELF93.DOT

 7. From the File menu, choose Save As.

 8. The following must be typed in the File Name box of the Save As window:

       C:\WINWORD\STARTUP\BSHELF93.DOT

    If the Word 6.0 for Windows program directory is located in a

    directory other than C:\WINWORD, modify the File Name line above

    to reflect the correct path.

 9. Exit and restart Word.

10. From the Tools menu, choose Customize.

11. Select the Menus tab.

12. From the Categories list, select Macros.

13. From the Macros list, select wabQuoteOfTheDay.

14. From the Change What Menu list, select &View.

15. From the Position on Menu list, select At Bottom.

16. In the Name On Menu text box, type "&Quote Of The Day" (without

Fax Wizard: Return Mailing Address Not Retained

Article ID: Q107426

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Fax Wizard (FAX.WIZ) included with Word 6.0 for Windows does not

retain your mailing address information between sessions. Each time

you run the Fax Wizard you will need to retype your return mailing

address.

CAUSE

=====

The Fax Wizard does not correctly retrieve the mailing address

information from the WORDWIZ.INI file.

The third panel of the Fax Wizard prompts you for your name, company

name, and mailing address. The wizard should supply previously typed

information for these fields, but only does so for the name and

company name fields.

WORKAROUND

==========

To modify the Fax Wizard so that the mailing address information is

retained between Wizard sessions, do the following:

1. From the File menu, choose Open. Open the FAX.WIZ file from your

   Word for Windows TEMPLATE subdirectory (usually, C:\WINWORD\TEMPLATE).

2. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

3. From the Macros Available In list box, select Fax.wiz (Template).

4. Select the macro named StartWizard and choose the Edit button.

5. From the Edit menu, choose Find. In Find What type:

      RstDlgPref "ReturnAddress", uaddr$

6. Choose the Find Next button. When the text is found, choose the

   Cancel button.

7. Change the selected line to the following:

      RstDlgMultiLinePref "ReturnAddress", uaddr$

8. From the File menu, choose Close and when prompted, choose to save

   changes to the StartWizard macro.

9. With the FAX.WIZ template active, close and save changes to the

   Fax Wizard.

Pictures in the Text Layer Won't Display or Print

Article ID: Q107440

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word for Windows pictures that are in the text layer may not display

or print if the Drawing Objects option is cleared. (To locate the

Drawing Objects option, choose Options from the Tools menu, and select

the Print tab.)

CAUSE

=====

The Drawing Objects option is designed to allow or inhibit printing of

drawing objects that are in the drawing layer. However, there is a

problem in Word that causes picture objects in the text layer to not

display or print if they are edited when this option is cleared.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes

available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In Word 6.0, "pictures" and "drawing objects" are two different

things. Word pictures or picture objects are graphics/drawings that

are rendered in the text layers of the document. Drawing objects are

graphics/drawings that are rendered in the drawing layers of the

document.

Word pictures are created in one of three ways:

1. By inserting a piece of clip art and then double-clicking it to make

   changes.

2. By choosing Microsoft Word 6.0 Picture from the Insert Object

   dialog box.

3. By creating a drawing object in the drawing layer, selecting it,

   and choosing the Create Picture button on the drawing toolbar.

The Drawing Objects option in the Print tab of the Options dialog box

was meant to inhibit printing of drawing objects only. The fact that

it affects the rendering and printing of Word pictures is a problem in

Word.

WORKAROUND

==========

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options. Select the Print tab.

2. In the Include With Document box, select Drawing Objects. Choose

   OK.

3. For each object that does not display or print, double-click it to

   activate it. When it displays in a Picture editing window, select

   something in the drawing by clicking and then choose Close Picture.

   Now the object will display and print.

4. If you do not want the drawing objects to print, when you are ready

   to print, go back to the Print tab and clear the Drawing Objects

   option. Do not activate or modify any pictures while this option is

   selected.

GP Fault in the Find File Dialog Box in Preview View

Article ID: Q107504

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, a general protection (GP) fault may occur when you

open the Find File dialog box if the View list is set to Preview, or if you

select Preview from the View list after you open the Find File dialog box.

CAUSE

=====

This GP fault occurs if you start Word with the /N switch (to start Word

with no document) and then open the Find File dialog box while no document

is open. (To locate the Find File dialog box, choose Find File from the

File menu or choose Open from the File menu and choose the Find File

button.)

The GP fault does not occur if you start Word without the /N switch, if you

do not switch to Preview view in the Find File dialog box, or if you open

at least one document before you open the Find File dialog box.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. This

problem was corrected in version 6.0a of Word for Windows. For information

on obtaining Word 6.0a, see the "How To Obtain Word 6.0a" section at the

bottom of this article.

Using File Locations and UNC Returns Error on Network Drive

Article ID: Q107505

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you try to change an entry in the File Locations dialog box to a

network drive (using the universal naming convention [UNC]), you may get

one of the following error messages if that network requires a password:

   Error Message                   Operating System

   -------------                   ----------------

   The path is not valid.          Windows 3.1

   The directory is not valid.     Windows for Workgroups 3.1

(To locate the File Locations dialog box, choose Options from the Tools

menu, and select the File Locations tab.)

CAUSE

=====

The error messages are initiated from from Windows error messaging and does

not contain password information.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

You must connect to the server and assign it a drive letter. In Workgroups,

you need do this only once.

Windows 3.1

===========

Use File Manager to connect to the network drive so that the server is

associated with a drive letter. Use this drive letter when specifying the

location of the files.

Windows for Workgroups

======================

1. From the File menu, choose Open.

2. Type the UNC name of the server you want to connect to. Choose OK.

3. When prompted, type the password in the password box. Choose OK.

4. In the File Locations tab, choose Modify. Type the UNC name of the

   server. Choose OK.

5. Choose Close.

Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.1

==========================================

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options. Select the File Locations tab, and

   choose Modify.

2. Choose Network. The Network Location dialog box used by File Manager is

   displayed.

3. Select a drive letter and type the path name. Select the appropriate

   directory and choose OK.

Word shows the option and the UNC name of the server to which it is

connected.

If you are using Workgroups, Word will remember the UNC name of the

server.

MORE INFORMATION

================

If you are using Windows for Workgroups, and have ever connected to the

server in question, you will not see this error message in Word. Windows

for Workgroups saves passwords in a *.PWL file, whose location is specified

by the [Password Lists] section of the SYSTEM.INI.

In Windows for Workgroups, if you try to access files by specifying a UNC

path in the File Open dialog box and the server you are accessing requires

you to supply a password, Word will ask you for the password. Word won't

ask you for the password in the future. It will assign a drive letter to

the server when you first choose Open from the File menu but won't assign

one in the future.

Article ID: Q107506

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Equation Editor, version 2.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, if you select Math Type 3.0 Equation in the Insert

InputBox$() Function Inserts an Extra Soft Return

Article ID: Q107533

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

If the ENTER key is pressed in an edit box created by the WordBasic

InputBox$ function, an erroneous soft return (newline character) will be

inserted into the document in addition to a hard return (paragraph mark).

For example:

   first line  <soft return>

   <hard return>

   second line  <soft return>

   <hard return>

MORE INFORMATION

================

To remove the soft return characters, use the CleanString$() function, as

in the following macro example:

Sub MAIN

a$ = InputBox$("Type more than one line")

a$ = CleanString$(a$)

Insert a$

End Sub

The above macro inserts a hard return after each new line entered into the

InputBox$() edit control.

For example:

   first line   <hard return>

   second line  <hard return>

To insert a soft return after each new line entered into an InputBox, use

the following macro example:

Sub MAIN

a$ = InputBox$("Enter more than one line")

Para = InStr(a$, Chr$(10))

While Para <> 0

 a$ = Left$(a$, para - 1) + Right$(a$, Len(a$) - para)

 Para = InStr(a$, Chr$(10))

Wend

Insert a$

All Caps Formatting Retained by Selection$() Function

Article ID: Q107534

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The WordBasic Selection$() function returns the plain, unformatted text of

the current selection. However, if the selection contains text formatted as

All Caps, Selection$() will return the text leaving the All Caps formatting

intact.

The expected behavior would be for the All Caps formatting, applied from

the Format Font dialog box, to be removed from the selection when

Selection$() is assigned to a string variable.

Note: Selection$() correctly returns unformatted text when the selection is

formatted for other formats including Small Caps.

STATUS

======

Although the expected behavior would be to remove the formatting and show

only the unformatted text, the response from the Selection$() command is by

design.

WORKAROUND

==========

To remove the All Caps formatting, you can use the ResetChar statement

before the Selection$() function and then EditUndo the ResetChar statement

to return the document to the previous formatting.

For example:

Sub MAIN

ResetChar

a$ = Selection$()

EditUndo

End Sub

Microsoft Graph Does Not Create Custom Chart from Table

Article ID: Q107537

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Graph, versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.0b, 5.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you select numbers in a Word for Windows table and then start Microsoft

Graph, a default data sheet and chart may appear instead of a custom chart

of your data.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior occurs because Microsoft Graph interprets parentheses as text

characters, not as the designation for negative numbers. For example, if

your data includes a negative number such as (34), Microsoft Graph does not

use your data, and uses the default chart instead. By contrast, if your

negative numbers contain a minus sign (-) instead of parentheses, Microsoft

Graph plots the data correctly.

Note that if any part of your selection contains text (that is, any non

numeric character except "-" or "+") instead of numeric data, Microsoft

Graph uses the default chart.

RESOLUTION

==========

To work around this behavior, do any of the following:

Method 1:  You can copy your table to the default chart. Before running

           Graph, follow these steps:

           1. Highlight your table, and choose Copy from the Edit menu.

           2. Choose the Insert Chart button on the Standard toolbar.

           3. Highlight the cells in the default chart and choose Cut

              from the Edit menu.

           4. In the default chart, highlight the corresponding rows and

              columns into which you want to paste your information.

           5. From the Edit menu, choose Paste .

              NOTE:  The numbers that were originally in parentheses are

              converted to minus signs in the Microsoft Graph datasheet.

              Your original table is unchanged. You can modify the

              format of the number by choosing Number from the Format

              menu while editing the Chart.

           6. Choose the Graph menus to make other modifications or

              selections for your chart.

Method 2:  Replace the parentheses in your table with minus signs and

           restart Graph.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Article ID: Q107540

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run a converted Word 2.x for Windows macro that contains the

FormatStyle .Keycode argument, the following error occurs in Word 6.0 for

Windows:

   Undefined dialog record field.

CAUSE

=====

The Word 2.x .Keycode argument is not valid in Word 6.0, and Word does not

convert it to the correct ToolsCustomizeKeyboard command. In Word 6.0, you

must make all keyboard, menu, and toolbar assignments using the Customize

command on the Tools menu.

WORKAROUND

==========

You must manually edit the macro to assign the style to a key combination.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Errors Running Setup on Diskless Network Workstation

Article ID: Q107557

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run Setup and select the Workstation Installation option to

install Word for Windows on a diskless network workstation, several

error messages may occur:

1. The following error message may occur after you start Setup:

      Setup was unable to determine a valid default destination

      directory. You will need to specify a destination directory.

2. After you select a destination directory and choose the Workstation

   Installation button, the following error message may occur if

   SHARE.EXE is not located in the MS-DOS directory on your floppy disk

   drive:

      Setup was unable to find SHARE.EXE on your system. It is

      required to run this application. Please fix your system

      and rerun Setup.

   Note: This may happen even if SHARE loads successfully when you start

   your workstation and is already running.

   If this error message occurs, Setup will stop, and the error

   described in number 3 below does not occur.

   For information about this error message and SHARE.EXE when you run

   Setup on a standalone computer, query on the following words in the

   Microsoft Knowledge Base:

      share.exe and word and 6.00 and cannot and find

3. If the error message described in number 2 above does not occur (if

   Setup does not stop), Setup displays the following dialog box after

   you select the Program Manager group for your Word icons:

      Not Enough Space on Drive C:

   The following options have been selected for installation on drive

   C:\.

      Workstation Shared

      Microsoft Word          4K

   Word is attempting to install 4k of information to the C:\ drive even

   when all components are to be installed on the network.

   If you choose the Install Now button, Setup continues, but then the

   following error message occurs:

      Could not open the file named: 'C:\AUTOEXEC.TMP'.

   After you cancel this dialog box, Setup notifies you that it did not

   completely install Word.

CAUSE

=====

Errors number 1 and 3 occur because Setup looks for your AUTOEXEC.BAT

and CONFIG.SYS files only on a system (bootable) hard disk (usually the C

drive), which does not exist on a diskless network workstation.

Error number 2 occurs because Setup cannot find the MS-DOS SHARE command

unless SHARE.EXE is located in the MS-DOS directory on your floppy disk

drive.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Use one of the two workarounds described below so that Setup searches

drive A instead of searching unsuccessfully for drive C. Do the following

for both workarounds (this avoids error number 2 above):

Place a copy of SHARE.EXE in an MS-DOS directory on a disk in drive A

before you run Word Setup. You do not have to start SHARE from this

location; it only needs to be there so Word Setup can find it. You can

place SHARE.EXE on a non-system disk if you do not start (boot) your

computer from the floppy disk drive; if you start your computer from the

floppy disk drive, you should place SHARE.EXE in the MS-DOS directory on

your system disk.

Workaround 1: Use SUBST

-----------------------

Notes: This workaround is best if you start (boot) your computer from

the floppy disk drive. The MS-DOS SUBST.EXE utility must be available when

you start your workstation.

1. Place the following MS-DOS SUBST line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file for

   your workstation:

      SUBST C: A:\

   You should place this line after the network login commands

   (such as IPX, NETX, and LOGIN) in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

2. Place a copy of SUBST.EXE on the system floppy disk you use to start

   your workstation.

3. Restart your computer using the modified system disk.

4. Start Windows and run Word Setup. The above errors no longer occur,

   and Setup adds the following line to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on your

   system floppy disk:

      @LOADHIGH A:\DOS\SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F:5100

5. When Setup proposes C:\WINWORD as the destination directory, you

   should change it to your network user directory.

6. (optional) After you install Word, you can remove SUBST.EXE from your

   floppy disk, and you can remove the SUBST line from your AUTOEXEC.BAT

   file.

Workaround 2: Map to the User Directory (Use with Novell)

---------------------------------------------------------

Map drive C to a valid network directory, such as the user's directory.

As the network administrator, you may want to choose this method if your

users do not have the SUBST.EXE file. Once you have run Word Setup, you can

remove the mapping. This solution is the optimal to use with a Novell

network.

Use the following syntax to map DRIVE C: to a valid network directory

such as the user's directory:

   MAP C:=SERVER/VOLUME:DIRECTORY/SUBDIRECTORY

Example:

   MAP C:=PSS/SYS:USERS/ANTOINES

When Setup proposes C:\WINWORD as the destination directory, you should

change it to your network user directory.

When you use this workaround, Setup installs Word correctly. However,

Setup cannot modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, so error number 3 in the

Symptoms section above still occurs. You will receive a message stating:

   Could not open...'C:\AUTOEXEC.TMP'

Choose Cancel. You will then receive the message:

   Setup was not successful...

Choose OK. No group or icon will be created. In addition, you must

manually modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file after Setup is complete to include

the line:

   LOADHIGH A:\DOS\SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F:5100

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Word version 6.0 for

Windows Setup program. This problem was corrected in Word version 6.0a

Setup.

Use the following procedure to check which version of MAPIVIM.DLL is

installed on your computer:

1. In Windows File Manager, switch to the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.

2. Select the MAPIVIM.DLL file.

3. From the File menu, choose Properties.

4. In the "Properties for MAPIVIM.DLL" dialog box, you should see a line

   that reads:

      Version: 1.0.0.xx

   where xx is a number.

STATUS

======

Information: How Word 6.0 Creates and Recovers Autosave Files

Article ID: Q107686

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how Word for Windows creates and recovers autosave

(.ASD) files when you select the Automatic Save Every check box. (To locate

the Automatic Save Every check box, choose Options from the Tools menu and

then select the Save tab.)

MORE INFORMATION

================

Location

--------

If you do not set a location for your autosave files, Word places your

autosave files in the temporary directory (this is the directory you

designate with a SET TEMP statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file).

Note: To set the autosave file storage location, choose Options from the

Tools menu, and then select the File Locations tab. Select the AutoSave

Files list item, and then choose the Modify button. In the Modify Location

dialog box, select the drive and the directory where you want to store

autosave files, and then choose OK.

Naming

------

The naming convention for Word autosave files is ~WRA####.ASD, where ####

is a number generated randomly by Windows.

Opening

-------

When you start Word, it searches for any .ASD files. If Word finds any, it

does the following:

1. Renames each of them to ~WRA####.BAK. The #### numbers may not be the

   same as the .ASD filename because Word avoids any naming conflicts with

   existing .BAK files.

2. Opens all autosave files.

3. Word deletes the autosave file (the ~WRA####.BAK file) when you do

   either of the following:

    - Save the recovered file.

      -or-

    - Close the recovered file without saving it.

   Word renames the autosave files in case the program hangs (stops

   responding) when the autosave file opens. If a problem occurs that

   damages the autosave file, you can still recover your work using the

   ~WRA####.BAK file, located in the autosave directory.

   After Word renames your .ASD files, it does not automatically open the

   .BAK files, so you must open them manually, using the Open command on

   the File menu. To list all the .BAK files, type "~WRA*.BAK" (without the

   quotation marks) in the File Name box.

Macro to Print All Documents in a Directory

Article ID: Q107687

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The following Word 6.0 for Windows macro can be used to print all the

documents found in an MS-DOS directory.

MORE INFORMATION

================

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Sub MAIN

doc$ = Files$("*.DOC")

While doc$ <> ""

 FilePrint .FileName = doc$

 doc$ = Files$()

Wend

End Sub

The above macro uses the Files$() function and FilePrint statement to print

the documents with a .DOC file extension in the current directory.

You can customize the above macro to print files from a specified directory

by adding a ChDir statement at the top of the macro.

   ChDir "C:\WinWord"   'changes the current directory to C:\WINWORD

Note: By specifying "*.DOC" on the first iteration and omitting it

thereafter, you can use the Files$() function to generate a list of files.

If no files match, an empty string ("") is returned.

This same idea can be used to create a list of file names in the current

directory. The following example macro creates a new document with the file

names from the current directory.

Sub MAIN

FileNewDefault

doc$ = Files$("*.*")

While doc$ <> ""

 Insert doc$

 doc$ = Files$()

SYMPTOMS

========

When you choose Bullets And Numbering from the Format menu, the Multilevel

tab is unavailable. Only the Bulleted and Numbered tabs appear.

CAUSE

=====

The first paragraph of the text you selected is formatted with one of the

heading styles (for example, Heading 1). Multilevel numbering is intended

for paragraphs that have various indent levels. If your text includes

paragraphs that have been formatted with heading styles, choose the Heading

Numbering command from the Format menu.

When the first paragraph in the selection is formatted with a style other

than a heading style, the Multilevel tab will be available.

WordBasic Err=150 with Duplicate UserDialog Definitions

Article ID: Q107732

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following WordBasic error occurs in Word for Windows if your custom

dialog box definition includes two instructions that specify the same

identifier argument:

   WordBasic Err=150

   Dialog control identifier is already defined.

For example, the following macro causes this error message because both

CheckBox dialog box instructions are identical:

Sub MAIN

Begin Dialog UserDialog 151, 84

   OKButton 33, 48, 88, 21

   CheckBox 25, 16, 111, 16, "Check Box", .CheckBox1

   CheckBox 25, 16, 111, 16, "Check Box", .CheckBox1

End Dialog

Dim Dlg As UserDialog

Dialog Dlg

End Sub

By contrast, this macro does not cause an error when you run it in Word

version 2.x for Windows.

CAUSE

=====

Identifiers for controls in a custom dialog box must be unique.

STATUS

======

This is a correction to the functionality of Word 2.x. Word 2.x should only

have allowed unique identifiers, also.

RESOLUTION

==========

If you run a Word 2.x macro in Word 6.0 for Windows that contains duplicate

dialog box identifiers, you must edit the macro and remove or modify one of

the identifiers.

Incorrect Registration of Applets During Setup

Article ID: Q107734

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Graph, version 3.0

 - Microsoft Access, versions 1.0, 1.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word for Windows Setup may register the Microsoft Graph, Equation Editor,

or WordArt applications incorrectly if Microsoft Access has been installed

prior to Word 6.0 for Windows. When this happens, the following error

occurs when you try to run one of the applications:

   The server application, source file, or item cannot be found.

   Make sure the application is properly installed, and that is has

   not been deleted, renamed, or moved.

CAUSE

=====

This problem is caused by an incorrect line in the [embedding] section of

the WIN.INI.

WORKAROUND

==========

To correct this problem, edit the [embedding] section of the WIN.INI file

so that it correctly states the path to the application. For example, for

Graph the line would look like:

   [embedding]

   MSGraph=Microsoft Graph,Microsoft Graph,

   C:\WIN31\MSAPPS\MSGRAPH\GRAPH.EXE, picture

  (appears as a single line in the WIN.INI)

You must also edit the registration database by running REGEDIT /V and

editing the MSGraph command line paths (there are two of them that must be

edited).

Expanding Share from the MS-DOS 6.2 Upgrade Disks

Article ID: Q107774

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.2

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you are using Word for Windows, you may need to expand MS-DOS 6.2

SHARE.EXE from the original MS-DOS disks (because SHARE.EXE has been

deleted or corrupted). If you upgraded to MS-DOS 6.2 using the MS-DOS 6.2

Step-Up program, you cannot expand the MS-DOS 6.2 version of SHARE.EXE (as

well as many other of the MS-DOS 6.2 files).

CAUSE

=====

MS-DOS 6.2 Step-Up uses binary patch files to patch the MS-DOS 6.0 files

into the MS-DOS 6.2 version. Each binary patch file <filename.xx#> contains

a checksum for the original MS-DOS 6.0 file and information on how to patch

the file. For this reason, you cannot directly expand SHARE.EXE (and many

other MS-DOS 6.2 files) off the MS-DOS 6.2 Step-Up disks.

RESOLUTION

==========

To work around this situation:

1. Restore the MS-DOS 6.0 file by expanding it from one of the original

   MS-DOS 6 Upgrade disks. For example, put the MS-DOS 6.0 Disk 2 in drive

   A, type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt, and then press

   ENTER:

      c:\dos\expand a:\share.ex_ c:\dos\share.exe

2. Run MS-DOS 6.2 Step-Up.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Mark button is unavailable (dimmed) in the Mark Citation dialog box

until you type some text in the Short Citation box. This means you cannot

create a TA (Table of Authorities Entry) field in Word for Windows using

only the long citation. (To locate the Mark Citation dialog box, choose

Indexes And Tables from the Insert menu, select the Table Of Authorities

tab, and then choose the Mark Citation button.)

WORKAROUND

==========

If you want to create a table of authorities entry that does not include a

short citation, insert the TA field using the Indexes And Tables command,

turn on the Field Codes View option, then modify the TA field manually.

For example, to remove the short citation from the following TA field,

delete " \s "Short Citation"":

   { TA \l "This is the long version of the citation." \s "Short

   Citation" \c 3 }

The following is the modified TA field, which no longer contains a

short citation:

   { TA \l "This is the long version of the citation." \c 3 }

IMPORTANT: You should not use this workaround for documents you plan

to open in WordPerfect. Table of authority entries that do not

contain a short citation may cause a general protection (GP) fault

error in WordPerfect.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Setup Displays "Setup Must Restart..." Repeatedly Under OS/2

Article ID: Q107788

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - IBM OS/2, versions 1.2, 1.21, 1.3, 1.31, 2.0, 2.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If the Enable TrueType Fonts option in the WIN-OS/2 Control Panel is not

selected, the Word 6.0 for Windows Setup program will display the following

message:

   Setup must restart Windows to enable installation of TrueType

   fonts. Once Windows has restarted, you must run Setup again.

Choosing the OK button will repeatedly redisplay this same message.

CAUSE

=====

The method used to activate the TrueType fonts option and restart Windows

in the Word Setup program is ineffective under OS/2.

RESOLUTION

==========

You must manually enable TrueType fonts before the Word Setup program will

complete a Word installation successfully. To enable TrueType fonts, follow

these steps:

1. Exit all Windows applications currently running on the OS/2 system.

2. Start the WIN-OS/2 Control Panel.

3. Choose the Fonts icon to display the installed fonts window.

4. When the window appears, click the TrueType button on the right side of

   the window.

5. Select the Enable TrueType Fonts option.

6. Choose OK.

7. Choose the Restart Now button to restart the current WIN-OS/2 session.

After the WIN-OS/2 session restarts, start the Word Setup program to

complete a desired Word installation.

Mail Merge Attached Envelope Does Not Create Bar Code

Article ID: Q107789

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you create mail merge form letter documents and attach envelopes, no

bar codes print on your envelopes, even though you selected the Delivery

Point Bar Code option.

CAUSE

=====

By default, envelopes attached to mail merge form letter documents will not

include POSTNET delivery-point bar codes. When you attach an envelope to an

existing mail merge form letter, Word has no way to determine which field

contains bar code information. The steps that allow determination of ZIP

Code fields are bypassed. Although the Delivery Point Bar Code option is

available under the Envelope options, Word is not able to interpret the

MERGEFIELD information into bar code information.

WORKAROUND

==========

To create mail merge envelopes with bar codes, use the Envelopes option or

manually insert a BARCODE field above the existing envelope address fields

on the envelope, as follows:

1. Position the insertion point before the first character of the first

   line of address fields and press ENTER to create a blank line above the

   existing address.

2. Insert the following field in the new blank line

      {BARCODE {MERGEFIELD PostalCode} \u \* Mergeformat}

   where "PostalCode" is the name of the field that contains the ZIP Code

   information.

Word 6.0 Tutorial Not Installed Under OS/2

Article ID: Q107790

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

 - IBM OS/2, version 2.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The Word 6.0 for Windows Tutorial feature is not compatible with the WIN-

OS/2 system under OS/2 version 2.1 when running Word as a windowed

(as opposed to full screen) WIN-OS/2 program.

The Word Setup program is configured to not install the tutorial feature

when being set up under OS/2.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Some of the functions performed in the tutorial component of Word 6.0 for

Windows involve program-controlled cursor movement and special window

drawing effects.

These functions will operate correctly if the tutorial is being run with

Word while running in a full screen WIN-OS/2 session. To configure Word to

run as a full screen application, follow these steps:

1. In the OS/2 desktop, locate the icon for the Word 6.0 for Windows

   program.

2. With the mouse pointer pointing at the Word program icon, press the

   right mouse button to display the pop-up menu for the icon.

3. From the menu, click the arrow directly to right of the Open option.

   This will display a submenu.

4. From the submenu, choose Settings.

5. Select the Session tab to display the session options.

6. Select the WIN-OS/2 Full Screen option.

7. Close the Settings window by double-clicking the Close button in the

   upper-left corner of the Settings window.

Before you can use the tutorial, you must manually install the tutorial

files. To install the tutorial, follow these steps:

NOTE: The commands below assume that Word is installed in C:\WINWORD. If

this is not the case, modify each of the given commands appropriately to

the drive and directory in which Word for Windows is installed.

 1. At the MS-DOS or OS/2 prompt, change to the Word program directory. For

    example:

      c:

      cd \winword

 2. Use the MS-DOS MD command to create a directory called "WORDCBT". For

    example:

      md wordcbt

 3. Insert Word Setup Disk 1 into your floppy disk drive (in the steps

    below, drive A is assumed).

 4. Copy EXTRACT.EXE to your Word for Windows program directory. For

    example:

       copy a:\extract.exe c:\winword

 5. Insert Word Setup Disk 7 into drive A.

 6. Type the following MS-DOS command:

       extract a:\word7.cab sample*.* new*.doc *.dex *.les cbt*.*

       wn*.wmf winners.doc wordcbt.cbt fx.dll /l c:\winword\wordcbt

    Note: After extracting these files you no longer need to have

    EXTRACT.EXE in your Word for Windows directory.  If you would like to

    remove it, type the following:

      del c:\winword\extract.exe

Before you can use the tutorial feature use the followin procedure to

define the location of the tutorial files in Word.

1. Start Word for Windows.

2. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

3. Select the File Locations tab.

4. From the File Types list, select Tutorial.

5. Choose the Modify button.

6. In the Location Of Tutorial box, type a full path to the location of the

   tutorial files. For example:

      c:\winword\wordcbt

7. Choose OK.

8. Choose the Close button.

The tutorial is now installed and configured. To activate the tutorial,

choose Quick Preview or Examples And Demos from the Help menu.

Be sure to not use any of these features unless Word is running in a full

screen WIN-OS/2 session.

Error or Password Prompt when Attaching Paradox Files

Article ID: Q107795

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 5.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you open a database created in a version of Paradox earlier or later

than version 3.5, Word for Windows may prompt you for a password, or an

error message similar to one of the following may appear:

   File Access Denied

   ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC single tier driver][ODBC file library]

   File access denied SQL state:4200 return code SQL_Error.

   Can't open unkeyed Paradox Table.

CAUSE

=====

The ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) Paradox driver supplied with Word 6.0

supports Paradox version 3.5 only. You cannot insert a database file

created in Paradox versions 1.0, 3.0, 4.0, or 4.5 (as a mail merge data

source or through a DATABASE field) using ODBC or DDE.

Note: If you are trying to open a Paradox version 3.5 database via ODBC and

a "File Access Denied" error occurs, you have a different problem, which is

fixed in Word 6.0a. For more information about this issue, query on the

following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   fixlist6.00a and odbc and paradox and 3.5 and password and word6

WORKAROUND

==========

Method 1: Save the Paradox database in a format supported by Word's

          converters or ODBC drivers, such as dBASE, Microsoft Excel, or

          Paradox version 3.5.

          For more information about using or configuring Paradox ODBC

          driver, consult the DRVPARDX.HLP file in your Windows SYSTEM

          subdirectory.

Method 2: Intersolv (formerly Q+E Software), a third-party software vendor,

          has a Paradox ODBC driver that supports Paradox versions 4.0 and

          4.5 and as of September 30th, 1994, version 5.0. For inquiries or

          orders call Intersolv at 1-800-876-3101.

Method 3: The ODBC Drivers Pack 2.0 includes a Paradox 3.x and 4.x ODBC

          driver. For customers of Microsoft products, a fee of $10.25 is

          charged to cover the cost of materials and shipping.

"WordBasic Err=25: Out of Memory (Stack Space)"

Article ID: Q107796

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run a macro in Word 6.0, you get the error message:

   WordBasic Err=25: Out of Memory (Stack Space)

In Word 2.x for Windows, the error message is:

   WordBasic Err=7: Out of Memory

CAUSE

=====

Word 2.x allows you to nest macros as deep as 11 levels. Word 6.0 allows

fewer than that. The actual amount varies, but it is typically between 6

and 9. This is because Word 6.0 requires more overhead when calling a macro

to account for the added functionality of passing array variables. This

behavior is by design.

RESOLUTION

==========

Word does NOT use as much overhead when calling subroutines within a macro.

If you require nesting routines deeper than six levels, Microsoft

recommends that you contain your functions within the same macro module.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following is an example of a nested macro:

REM This macro is called Test1

Sub MAIN

 MsgBox "test1"

 Call test2

End Sub

REM This macro is called Test2

Sub MAIN

 MsgBox "test2"

 Call test3

End Sub

REM This macro is called Test3

Sub MAIN

 MsgBox "test3"

 Call test4

End Sub

...continue until Test9 for Word 6 for Windows, Test12 for Word for

Windows 2.x.

Multilevel Numbering Increments at  Indents, Not Heading Level

Article ID: Q107877

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Multilevel numbers do not increment based on the level of the Heading style

that is applied to a paragraph.

CAUSE

=====

Multilevel numbering is designed to increment based on the left indent

applied to a paragraph. It is not designed to number paragraphs formatted

with Heading styles. In fact, the Multilevel tab is not available in the

Bullets And Numbering dialog box when the first paragraph in the selection

is a heading paragraph. To number paragraphs formatted with heading style,

choose Heading Numbering from the Format menu.

The Multilevel tab is available when the first paragraph in the selection

is not formatted with a heading style, even though the selection may

contain some heading paragraphs. When Multilevel numbering is applied to a

selection that contains some paragraphs formatted with heading styles, the

heading paragraphs will be numbered based on their indents rather than

their heading style level.

STATUS

======

This behavior is by design. The Heading Numbering command (on the Format

menu) should be used to number paragraphs formatted with heading styles.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following is an example of how the first choice in the Multilevel

Numbering Style Gallery would be applied to a mixture of paragraphs

formatted with Normal style and Heading styles.

1. Normal Style

2. Heading 1 Style

   a) Normal Style

      i) Heading 2 Style

When multilevel numbering is reapplied to a heading paragraph that is

indented after multilevel numbering is first applied, the indent will be

removed and the paragraph will revert to the indentation defined by the

heading style.

If Heading Numbering had previously been applied to the heading paragraphs,

it would not be disturbed by the application of Multilevel numbering to the

Normal style paragraphs in the selection. For example, when using the first

Gallery style from both Heading Numbering and Multilevel numbering, the

result is as follows:

1. Normal Style

I. Heading 1 Style

   a) Normal Style

   A. Heading 2 Style

Quiet Workstation Setup Does Not Install Icons Successfully

Article ID: Q107898

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

After running SETUP /Q to install Microsoft Word for Windows to a

workstation, the Word for Windows directories are created, and the

SETUP.STF file is copied to the machine, but no icons are created, and the

.INI files are not modified.

CAUSE

=====

By default Batch Mode Root Object ID in the SETUP.STF is set to 13:01,

which indicates a "Floppy Install." It should be set to 14:01, which

indicates a "Network install."

RESOLUTION

==========

Search the SETUP.STF for "Batch Mode Root Object ID." Using Excel, choose

Find from the Edit Menu and type "Batch Mode Root Object ID" in the Find

What box. If Word was installed using 1.2 MB or 1.44 MB floppy disks, this

is cell A19. If the Upgrade package was used, this is cell A20.

Change the Batch Mode Root Object ID value from 13:01 to 14:01 (may

sometimes be listed as 14:1.) If Word was installed using 1.2 MB or 1.44 MB

floppy disks, this is cell B19. If the Upgrade package was used, this is

cell B20.

Note: The cell references given above are for Word 6.0 for Windows and are

subject to change in future releases. They may also change if the SETUP.STF

file has been modified.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. This

problem was corrected in version 6.0a of Word for Windows. For information

on obtaining Word 6.0a, see the "How To Obtain Word 6.0a" section at the

bottom of this article.

How to Obtain Word 6.0a

-----------------------

How to Change the Default Program Group for Word for Windows

Article ID: Q108226

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

By default, Word 6.0 for Windows Setup proposes Microsoft Office as the

program group where the Word icons will be placed. By modifying the

SETUP.STF file, you can change the default to a group of your choice.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To change the program group where the Word icons are placed, do the

following. Word will place the icons in the program group specified if it

already exists or will create the program group if it does not exist.

1. Search the SETUP.STF file for "Microsoft Office." Using Excel, choose

   Find from the Formula menu and type "Microsoft Office" (without the

   quotation marks) in the Find What box. By default there are four

   occurrences of "Microsoft Office" that need to be changed, and these are

   the last four lines of the SETUP.STF file.

2. Change "Microsoft Office" to the desired default program group, making

   sure not to edit any other settings in the cells.

3. Save the SETUP.STF file and proceed according to the directions for

   distributing a script in Appendix B of the "Microsoft Word User's

   Guide."

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0. 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following error message may occur if you open a Word for Windows

document that contains an object and then attempt to move the object:

   There are too many edits in the document. This operation will

   be incomplete. Save your work.

This may happen even if you did no other editing prior to moving the

object.

CAUSE

=====

Word cannot move the object if you have insufficient disk space in your

temporary (TEMP) directory (this is the directory you designate using the

SET TEMP statement). In this case, the above error message is not

sufficiently specific to be helpful.

RESOLUTION

==========

Clear some disk space on the drive that contains the TEMP directory.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Article ID: Q108254

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you use an earlier version of DECOMP.EXE (such as one supplied with Word

version 1.x or 2.x for Windows) to decompress Word 6.0 files, the following

error message occurs:

   Error: Unknown compression algorithm

CAUSE

=====

To decompress Word 6.0 files with DECOMP, you must use DECOMP.EXE version

1.2, which is supplied with Word 6.0. This file has a size of 38,926 and is

DECOMP Syntax and Usage

-----------------------

Syntax:

   DECOMP [-afq] [srcArg [destArg]]

Argument

or Switch    Description

---------    -----------

-a           Appends to the destination file, if it exists.

-f           Overwrites destination file, if it exists (files

             cannot be decompressed in place).

-q           Calculates and displays size of uncompressed file

             (does not decompress the file).

srcArg       Specific file or wildcard pattern. Either can be

             preceded by a path.

destArg      (optional) Specific file or directory. If destArg is

             a directory or omitted, DECOMP generates the destination

             filename using information in the src file header.

             (If the information is missing from the src file header,

             DECOMP uses the src filename itself).

How to Specify a Destination Directory in a Setup Script

Article ID: Q108338

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In the instructions on page 772 of the "Microsoft Word User's Guide"

(version 6.0) on how to change the destination directory using a setup

script, step 4 reads:

   To specify a directory where Setup will install Word, scroll through

   the table until you see "%1" in the column labeled "DestDir." Replace

   the "%1" with the name of the directory where you want Setup to

   install Word.

This step is incomplete. To successfully change the destination directory,

replace step 4 with one of the two methods listed below.

MORE INFORMATION

================

If the setup script will be run using a "silent" setup (setup /q), Method

2 is preferred because the destination directory only needs to be

entered into the SETUP.STF once. (A "silent" setup performs a complete

installation automatically, without prompting the user for information.)

Method 1

--------

Note: If you are running Word 6.0a, skip steps 1 and 2.

1. Search the SETUP.STF for "Batch Mode Root Object ID." Using Microsoft

   Excel, choose Find from the Formula menu, and type "batch mode root

   object ID" (without the quotation marks) in the Find What box. If Word

   was installed using 1.2 MB or 1.44 MB floppy disks, this is cell A19. If

   the upgrade package was used, this is cell A20.

2. Change the Batch Mode Root Object ID value from 13:01 to 14:01. If Word

   was installed using 1.2 MB or 1.44 MB floppy disks, this is cell B19. If

   the upgrade package was used, this is cell B20.

3. Search the SETUP.STF for "Object Data". If Word was installed using 1.2

   MB or 1.44 MB floppy disks, this is cell F23. If the upgrade package was

   used, this is cell F24.

4. The row beneath Object Data (F24 or F25) will list the current settings,

   including the default directory. The default is:

      "C:\WINWORD", "WINWORD.EXE", "6.0.0.2226", 1, "yes", "yes", 2 3 4 5

   Change "C:\WINWORD" (include quotes) to the desired default directory

   making certain not to edit any other settings in that cell.

5. Continue to step 5 in the user's guide.

Method 2

--------

Note: If you are running Word 6.0a, skip steps 1 and 2.

1. Search the SETUP.STF for "Batch Mode Root Object ID." Using Microsoft

   Excel, choose Find from the Formula Menu, and type "batch mode root

   object ID" (without the quotation marks) in the Find What box. If Word

   was installed using 1.2 MB or 1.44 MB floppy disks, this is cell A19. If

   the upgrade package was used, this is cell A20.

2. Change the Batch Mode Root Object ID value from 13:01 to 14:01. If Word

   was installed using 1.2 MB or 1.44 MB floppy disks, this is cell B19. If

   the upgrade package was used, this is cell B20.

3. Search the SETUP.STF for "%1". The first instance of "%1" is in the

   Destination Directory column (column K in Microsoft Excel).

4. Replace each instance of "%1" with the name of the directory where you

   want to install Word. It is important to place the trailing backslash

   after the desired directory name. For example, if you want to install

   Word to a directory called WORDSIX on drive C, you must replace each

   "%1" with "C:\WORDSIX\" (include quotes).

   NOTE: Be certain to replace all instances of "%1", but do not use a

   Replace All command because this also finds "%10" or other variations

   containing "%1". Also, when modifying lines that contain "%1" within a

   longer string, be certain not to edit any other settings in that cell.

5. Continue to step 5 in the user's guide.

Installing Bookshelf 1992 with Word 6.0 for Windows

Article ID: Q108341

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The Word for Windows integration features included with Microsoft Word for

Windows & Bookshelf, Multimedia Edition, or Video and Sound Edition, will

work with Word 6.0 for Windows; however, the Setup program will not

successfully install those features with Word 6.0 since the Setup program

is designed to work with Word 2.0 for Windows only.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To install the Word and Bookshelf integration features for Word 6.0 for

Windows to successfully communicate with Bookshelf 1992 or 1994, use the

following steps.

These steps do not install the Online Word User's Guide included with the

Word & Bookshelf CD-ROM. This guide is designed exclusively for use with

Word 2.0 for Windows.

Note: These steps assume Word 6.0 for Windows is already installed and

functioning normally.

 1. Insert the Word for Windows & Bookshelf CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

 2. In Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu.

 3. Type "d:\setup" (without the quotation marks) and choose OK.

    If the CD-ROM drive is represented by a drive letter other than D, make

    the appropriate change in the line above to reflect the correct drive

    letter.

 4. When the Setup program prompts for the Word directory (the "Install

    Word In:" option), be certain to specify the existing Word 6.0 for

    Windows directory already present on the hard drive.

 5. The Setup program will report that it has detected an existing version

    of Word for Windows. Choose the Continue button to proceed.

 6. When given the choice of installation type, choose the Custom

    Installation button.

 7. When the Setup Options are displayed, clear every option except for

    Microsoft Bookshelf.

    Note: If the Setup program being used is for the Video and Sound

    Edition of Word & Bookshelf, you can also select the "Video and Sounds"

    option. This option is optional and has no effect on the integration

    features between Word 6.0 and Bookshelf 1992.

 8. Choose the Setup button and continue with the rest of the Setup program

    normally.

 9. At the completion of the Setup program, Word 6.0 for Windows will be

    reporting a WordBasic error. Choose the OK button in the error window

    and restore the Word window from the minimized icon on the screen.

10. From the File menu, choose Save As.

11. In the File Name box, type "c:\winword\startup\bookshlf.dot" (without

    the quotation marks) and choose the OK button.

    If your Word directory is located somewhere other than C:\WINWORD,

    modify the path given in the File Name box above to reflect the correct

    path.

12. From the File menu, choose Close.

13. From the File menu, choose New then press the OK button to open a new

    document based on Normal.dot

14. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

15. From the "Macros Available In" list, select "Normal.dot (Global

    Template)".

       wabModifyToolbar

       wabReceive

       wabSetup

       wabSetupAll

       wabSetupUg

    *Note: If you are unsure whether the AutoExec macro is part of the Word

    & Bookshelf Edition or if it is a different macro needed for other

    purposes, you can rename it instead of deleting it using Word 6.0's

    Organizer feature.

17. Choose the Close button in the Macro window.

18. Quit and restart Word.

19. From the Tools menu, choose Customize.

Date Toolbar Button Inserts Incorrect Date Format

Article ID: Q108404

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you choose the Date button on the Header And Footer toolbar, Word may

insert a date format that is different from the one you set using the

DATEFORMAT switch in the [Microsoft Word] section of your WINWORD6.INI

file. By contrast, Word uses the correct date format, as defined by the

DATEFORMAT switch, when you insert the date using the Date And Time command

(Insert menu).

CAUSE

=====

When you insert the date using the Date toolbar button, Word inserts a DATE

field with the \L switch, which inserts the date with the last format you

selected using the Date And Time command (Insert menu). This is a design

feature of Word.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: From the Tools menu, choose Macro. In the Macro Name box type

          "InsertDateField" (without the quotation marks) and choose

          Create. Change the macro to read as follows:

              Sub MAIN

              InsertField .Field = "date"

              End Sub

          Close and save the macro.

          To specify a default date format in Word for Windows, modify the

          WINWORD6.INI file. In Word for Windows NT, modify the Windows

          Registry as described in the "More Information" section below.

Method 2: After you insert the DATE field using the Date toolbar button,

          switch to field codes view (press ALT+F9 or SHIFT+F9) and remove

          the \L switch from the field. For example, change { DATE \L } to

          { DATE }.

Method 3: From the Insert menu, choose Date And Time. Select the format you

          want and then choose OK. Next time you choose the Date toolbar

          button, Word uses the format you last selected in the Date And

          Time dialog box.

Method 4: Use the following procedure to record a Macro that inserts the

          date format of your choice, and assign it to the Toolbar:

          a. From the Tools menu, choose Macro. Type a name for your macro

             in the Macro Name text box and choose Record.

          b. From the Insert menu, choose Field. From the Categories list,

             select Date And Time, and from the Field Names list, select

             Date. Choose the Options button. Select the General Switches

             tab and from the Date-Time list, select the format you want.

             Choose the Add To Field button, and choose OK.

          c. Choose OK in the Fields dialog box. Choose the Stop button on

             the Macro Recorder toolbar. The macro has now been recorded.

          d. From the Tools menu, choose Customize. Select the Toolbar tab

             and from the Categories list, select Macros. From the Macros

             list, select the name of the macro just recorded and drag it

             to an open area on the toolbar.

          e. From the Custom Button dialog box, select a button-face and

             choose the Assign button. Choose Close.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To modify the WINWORD6.INI file in Word for Windows do the following (see

below for Word for Windows NT):

1. From the Tools menu, choose Macro. In the Macro Name box, type

   "ToolsAdvancedSettings" (without the quotation marks) and choose run.

2. In the Categories list, choose Microsoft Word. In the Startup Options

   list, choose DateFormat. (If DateFormat does not exist, delete the

   contents of the Option box and type "DateFormat" [without the quotation

   marks]) Delete the contents of the Setting box and type in the desired

   default date format, for example "MMMM d, yyyy" (without the quotation

   marks). Choose Set, then choose Close.

To modify the WINWORD6.INI file in Word for Windows NT do the following:

1. In the Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu, and type

   "REGEDT32" (without the quotation marks) and then choose OK. Open the

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER window and navigate to the following key:

   Software\Microsoft\Word\6.0\Options.

2. Select the DateFormat value. If it doesnt exist, choose Add Value from

   the Edit menu, and type "DateFormat" (without the quotation marks) in

   the Value Name field then choose OK. In the String field, type in the

   desired default date format, for example "MMMM d, yyyy" (without the

   quotation marks). Choose OK then close the Registry Editor.

Word 2.x Mail Merge Document Loses Data Delimiters in Word 6.0

Article ID: Q108405

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you open a Word 2.x for Windows mail merge main document in Word

version 6.0 for Windows, an Invalid Merge Field dialog box may appear

when you perform a print merge operation or if you choose the View

Merged Data button on the Mail Merge toolbar. The Invalid Merge Field

dialog box displays the following error message:

   This merge field is used in the main document, but it does not

   exist in the data source.

The list of merge fields in the Invalid Merge Field dialog box contains

only one name, which is a concatenation of all the field names in your data

document. For example, if your data document contains four fields (such as

Name, Address, City, Zip), the dialog box displays a single name

(NameAddressCityZip).

This does not happen if your data document is a Word 2.x table.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs if your Word 2.x main document is attached to a data

document that uses tabs, commas, or semicolons as field delimiters. The

only time the problem does not occur is when your data document is a

Word

table.

Word 6.0 stores the field and record delimiter information for the data

document in the mail merge main document, whereas Word 2.x does not store

this information. When you convert a Word 2.x main document by opening it

in Word 6.0, if the attached data file is any format other than a Word

table, Word 6.0 sets the data delimiter to the default, which is null. As a

result, Word reads the header record as a single field name.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. This

problem was corrected in version 6.0a of Word for Windows. For information

on obtaining Word 6.0a, see the "How To Obtain Word 6.0a" section at the

bottom of this article.

WORKAROUND

==========

1. Open the Word 2.x main document in Word 6.0.

2. Choose the Edit Data Source button on the Mail Merge toolbar. When the

   Data Form appears, chose the View Data button. When the data document

   is displayed choose the Main Document button on the right end of the

   data source toolbar to return to the main document. After returning to

   the main document, save the *MAIN* document in Word 6.0 format.

   -or-

   From the Tools menu, choose Mail Merge. Under Data Source, choose

   the Edit button, and then select your data document from the list. When

   the Data Form appears, choose the View Data button. When the data

   document is displayed, choose the Main Document button on the right end

   of the data source toolbar to return to the main document. After

   returning to the main document, save the *MAIN* document in Word 6.0

   format.

3. Perform the print merge.

Below is a macro you can use to automate the above workaround.

(Suggestion: Assign the macro to a button on the Mail Merge toolbar.)

Cannot Change Working Directory Using Icon Properties

Article ID: Q108406

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you start Word for Windows, the default directory may not be the one

you set as the Working Directory in the Program Item Properties dialog box

for the icon you use to start Word for Windows.

CAUSE

=====

If there is a DOC-PATH setting in the [Microsoft Word] section of your

WINWORD6.INI file, this setting overrides the Working Directory setting. If

there is no DOC-PATH setting, Word uses the Working Directory setting as

the default directory.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you want to control the default directory using different Program

Manager icons to start Word, delete the DOC-PATH setting from your

WINWORD6.INI file using the following instructions:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2. Select the File Locations tab.

3. In the File Type list, select Documents and choose the Modify button.

4. Clear the Location Of Documents box and then choose OK.

5. In the Options dialog box, choose the Close button.

Word 6.0 Line Wrapping Not Retained in Text Editor

Article ID: Q108451

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word-wrapped text that you copy from Word for Windows may paste into

a text-based application, such as Windows Notepad or an electronic

mail (email) text editor, without carriage returns at the end of each

line. This causes the text to appear on a single long line in the

text editor.

By contrast, wrapped text copied from Word version 2.x for Windows

pastes into a text-based application with carriage returns at the end

of each line.

CAUSE

=====

By design, Word 6.0 does not include carriage returns at the end of word-

wrapped lines in order to comply with OLE (object linking and embedding)

version 2.0 specifications. Use the macro in the "Workaround" section

below, to add carriage returns to word-wrapped Word 6.0 text.

WORKAROUND

==========

When you copy text from Word and paste it into a text-based application

such as your email editor, you may want to maintain the word wrapping as it

appeared in Word. You can retain the word wrapping as it appears in Word

6.0 using the macro below, which does the following:

1. Cuts the selection, with paragraph formatting intact, and places it on

   the Windows Clipboard (the macro later restores the selection to its

   original position).

2. Opens a new document into which it pastes the selection.

3. Saves the new document to the TEMP directory in Text Only With Line

   Breaks file format, then closes the file.

4. Reopens the Text Only file, which now contains a paragraph mark at the

   end of each line.

5. Selects and copies the entire document.

6. Saves the file again (this removes the pointers to the Windows

   Clipboard, which makes it possible to delete the file).

7. Closes and deletes the file.

Where Word 6.0 Searches for NORMAL.DOT

Article ID: Q108452

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When you start Word for Windows, it looks for the Normal template

(NORMAL.DOT) in the following locations, in order:

 - The user TEMPLATES directory (USER-DOT-PATH setting

   in WINWORD6.INI)

 - The workgroup TEMPLATES directory (WORKGROUP-DOT-PATH setting in

   WINWORD6.INI)

 - The Word program directory (for example, C:\WINWORD)

 - The current directory

If Word cannot find the Normal template in any of the above locations, it

uses the preset program default settings.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word 6.0 does not use the DOT-PATH setting in the [Microsoft Word] section

of your Windows WIN.INI file (Word 2.x uses the DOT-PATH setting).

OLE 2.0 Embedded Object Prints at Low Resolution

Article ID: Q108453

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If your Word for Windows document contains an OLE (object linking and

embedding) version 2.0 embedded object that you print while it is being

edited "in situ", the object may print at low resolution. ("in situ" means

the application, such as Microsoft Excel, temporarily replaces the Word

menus and toolbars.) Lines in the object may print jagged or incomplete,

shading or patterns may appear incorrectly, and text may be compressed or

missing.

CAUSE

=====

A bitmap of the object, as it appears on screen, prints instead of

the actual object if you print a document that contains an OLE 2.0

object that is being edited in situ.

The object prints correctly if you return to Word after editing.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. We

are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Return to Word before you print the OLE 2.0 object.

MS-DOS Error 24 ("Too Many Files Open") Loading Add-in (.WLL)

Article ID: Q108454

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you load an add-in program (.WLL file) that opens a file in Word for

Windows, the following MS-DOS error message may occur:

   Error 24: Too many files open

This happens regardless of your SHARE, FILES, or BUFFERS settings. In some

cases, only two Word temporary (TMP) files may use 12 file handles.

CAUSE

=====

An add-in program quickly exhausts file handles (which results in the above

MS-DOS error message) if you created the add-in using run-time C

programming language file routines. This happens because when you load an

add-in program created using run-time C routines, Word does not execute the

initial run-time C startup code, so any routines that require statics

loaded by this code do not run correctly. This is a design feature of Word.

RESOLUTION

==========

You must create your add-in programs using standard Microsoft Windows

File Open and file manipulation routines instead of run-time C

routines. For information about creating add-ins and .WLL files for

Word, see Appendix C of the "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit."

Table of Contents Entries, Cross-References, & Captions Marked

Article ID: Q108455

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word may place bookmark brackets ([]) around the following document

elements, but these elements do not appear in the Bookmark Name list in the

Bookmark dialog box (to open the Bookmark dialog box, choose Bookmark from

the Edit menu):

 - The text argument of a TC (table of contents entry) field

 - Heading paragraphs used as table of contents entries

 - Cross-references that you create using the Cross-Reference command

   on the Insert menu

 - Captions that you mark (with a REF field) using the Caption command

   on the Insert menu

NOTE: To view bookmark brackets in your document, choose Options from

the Tools menu, select the View tab, select the Bookmarks option, and

choose OK.

By contrast, Word does not place bookmark brackets around XE fields, TA

fields, or footnotes.

CAUSE

=====

Word places bookmark brackets ([]) around any of the above elements when

Word lists it in an index, table of figures, table of contents, or table of

authorities that you insert in your document.

For example, if you create a table of figures, Word places bookmark

brackets around the captions (REF fields) included in the table. Similarly,

Word places bookmark brackets around each entry in your table of contents

and each paragraph for which you create a cross-reference.

The bookmark brackets represent internal, hidden bookmarks that Word uses

to create the index or tables. For example, Word uses these bookmarks to

find a table of contents entry if you double-click its page number in the

table of contents. By design, this category of special, hidden bookmarks

does not appear on the Bookmark Name list in the Bookmark dialog box.

STATUS

======

This behavior is by design. Word places special bookmarks around the above

mentioned objects to allow cross-referencing to those objects. The

bookmarks are generated automatically by Word, so the names are hidden in

the Edit Goto dialog box and Insert Bookmark dialog box, but the bookmark

markers are visible in the document.

Formatting a Table Causes Word to Error or Hang

Article ID: Q108456

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

While you format or AutoFormat a table, Word for Windows may stop

processing the table editing and formatting commands, your computer may

appear to hang (stop responding), or one of the following error messages

may occur:

   There is not enough memory to update display

-or-

   The formatting in this document is too complex

This may happen even if you have no other documents open or other

applications running.

CAUSE

=====

Word runs out of memory while you format a table in page layout view

because both tables and page layout view use a large amount of near

memory.

When you perform extensive formatting on a table (such as splitting the

table, merging cells, or modifying the height and width of rows and

columns), Word quickly runs out of near memory.

Word may display this message if the document is corrupted or damaged.

For more information on corrupted documents, query the following word in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   Q105093

WORKAROUND

==========

To restore the near memory heap so you can continue formatting your table,

do one or both of the following:

 - Perform a (full) save of the document (that is, Allow Fast Saves is

   turned off). To turn off the Allow Fast Saves option, choose Options

   from the Tools menu, select the Save tab and clear the Allow Fast

   Saves option.

   -and/or-

 - Switch to normal view (from the View menu, choose Normal).

IMPORTANT: If you continue to work without (full) saving the document or

switching to normal view, the error message will recur or your computer

may hang (stop responding).

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. We are

researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Incorrect SECTION and SECTIONPAGES Field Results

Article ID: Q108482

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The result of the SECTION field or the SECTIONPAGES field is incorrect when

the field is placed in a header or footer. The result displays correctly in

the document on the screen, but it is incorrect on the printed copy.

Word incorrectly prints the result of the first SECTION or SECTIONPAGES

field in the second and subsequent sections.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a and

6.0c for Windows and Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh. We are researching

this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge

Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Method 1: Use the PAGEREF field instead to obtain the number of pages in

          the current section. The following instructions insert page

          numbers in the header or footer of your document. Page numbering

          starts at 1 for each section, and the PAGEREF field yields the

          number of pages in each section. Page numbering appears as "Page

          X of Y" on each page, where X is the current page in the current

          section, and Y is the number of pages in the current section.

          a. From the Insert menu, choose Page Numbers.

          b. Select the desired Position and Alignment settings, and then

             choose the Format button.

          c. Select the Start At option ("1" should appear in the Start At

             list), and then choose OK.

          d. Repeat the following instructions in each section of your

             document to insert a bookmark at the end of the section:

             1) Select some text at the end of the last page of the

                section.

             2) From the Edit menu, choose Bookmark.

             3) Type a Bookmark Name and then choose the Add button.

          e. In the header or footer for the section, position the

             insertion point after the PAGE field you inserted in

             steps 1 through 3 above, and insert the following field

             and text (include a space before and after "of"):

                of {PAGEREF BookmarkName}

             where BookmarkName is the name of the bookmark you inserted

             at the end of the current section.

             In field code view, the header or footer appear as follows:

                { PAGE  } of { PAGEREF BookmarkName }

             For example, if the current section contains 11 pages, the

             following appears in the header or footer on page 3:

                3 of 11

Method 2: Use this method for the SECTION fields in your document:

          a. Turn off the Update Field Codes option before you print

             the document. To do this, choose Options from the Tools

             menu and select the Print tab. Clear the Update Fields

             option and then choose OK.

          b. In each section, break the connection with the preceding

             header or footer. To do this, position the insertion point

             in the header for each section and choose the Same As Previous

             button on the Header and Footer toolbar.

          c. In each section, select the SECTION field and press F9 to

             update its results.

Envelope Command Fails to Pick Up Print Merge Address Fields

Article ID: Q108500

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, if you create a print merge main document, and then

choose Envelopes And Labels from the Tools menu, the envelope dialog box

may appear blank rather then picking up the address merge fields (even

if

they are highlighted).

CAUSE

=====

There is a limit to the number of characters the envelope dialog box can

support. If the address the envelope feature is trying to read has too

many

characters, the envelope dialog box will appear blank.

WORKAROUND

==========

1. Shorten the length of the print merge fields.

   -or-

   Add the envelope to the print merge main document.

2. Copy and paste the address print merge fields from the document to the

   envelope, or use the Insert Merge Field button to add the address merge

   fields to the envelope.

Heading Numbering Command Changes Style, Paragraph Formatting

Article ID: Q108501

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you apply heading numbering to a document that is formatted with built-

in heading styles (such as Heading 1, Heading 2, and so on), Word for

Windows changes the paragraph formatting and may change the heading style

definition. Specifically, Word replaces any of your previous left- and

special-indent formatting changes (including the None Indentation setting)

with the heading numbering settings. (To view the heading numbering

settings, choose Heading Numbering from the Format menu and then choose the

Modify button.)

CAUSE

=====

By design, when you apply heading numbering to heading-style-formatted

paragraphs, the "Hanging indent" and "Distance from indent to text" heading

numbering properties replace the left- and special-indent properties

defined in the heading style. This happens even if your heading style sets

the Special Indentation format to None.

WORKAROUND

==========

Modify the heading styles AFTER you apply heading numbering.

Troubleshooting

---------------

Because the Heading Numbering command affects the heading style

definitions, you may need to determine the source (style or direct) of some

paragraph formatting in order to modify it. To reveal the source of

formatting for a paragraph, press SHIFT+F1 or choose the Help button on the

Standard toolbar. When the pointer becomes a question mark, click the text

you want to check. Word displays all the style and direct formatting that

is currently applied to the paragraph.

Once you determine the source of the formatting, you can take steps to

change it by modifying the style or by changing the direct formatting.

MORE INFORMATION

================

This section contains a description of how heading numbering affects the

heading style definition.

When you apply heading numbering to a document, two things happen to the

style definition:

 - First, Word adds the Auto Numbering property to the style definition.

 - Second, Word adds indent formatting to the style definition (.5 inch by

   default, or as defined by the Number Position settings in the Modify

   Heading Number dialog box).

The key to understanding the effect of heading numbering on a document is

that the Auto Numbering property is not a regular paragraph property, but

rather a document property. Word does not add this property to a template

if you add the style to a template.

Conversely, Word DOES add the indent formatting, which is a regular

paragraph property, to a template if you add the style to a template. To

demonstrate the effect of heading numbering on your styles, do the

following:

1. Create a new, blank document, based on the Normal template. (To do this,

   choose the New button on the Standard toolbar.)

2. Apply the Heading 1 style to one or more paragraphs in the document.

3. Choose Style from the Format menu to check the Heading 1 style

   description. In a default Normal template, the style description

   contains no indent formatting and no Auto Numbering property.

4. Apply heading numbering by choosing Heading Numbering from the Format

   menu. Choose OK to accept the default settings.

5. Choose Style from the Format menu again. Notice that the style

   definition now contains indent formatting and the Auto Numbering

   property.

6. Use the Organizer to copy this Heading 1 style from the document to your

   Normal template (NORMAL.DOT). (To use the Organizer, choose Style from

   the Format menu and then choose the Organizer button.)

7. Repeat steps 1 through 3 above.

   Notice that, although Word does not add heading numbering to your

   Heading 1 paragraphs, it does apply the paragraph indent formatting.

   Also, notice that the Heading 1 style description includes the paragraph

   indent formatting but not the Auto Numbering property.

Word 6.0 Setup Does Not Install New UNIDRV.DLL File

Article ID: Q108502

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you install Word for Windows, Setup does not automatically install the

updated UNIDRV.DLL file, which is supplied with Word.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows version

6.0. This problem was corrected in Word version 6.0a.

RESOLUTION

==========

You must install the UNIDRV.DLL file manually, using the following

procedure:

1. Exit Windows.

2. Copy the DECOMP.EXE file from Word for Windows Disk 1 into your Word

   program directory (by default, C:\WINWORD).

3. Place the Word disk that contains the UNIDRV.DL_ file in your floppy

   disk drive (Disk 2 of the 3.5-inch disks, Disk 1 of the 5.25-inch

   disks).

4. At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER:

      c:\winword\decomp a:\unidrv.dl_ c:\windows\system\unidrv.dll

   Note: The above syntax assumes that C:\WINWORD is your Word program

   directory, drive A is the floppy disk drive where you placed the Word

   disk in step 3 above, and that C:\WINDOWS is your Windows program

   directory.

5. When the DECOMP program prompts you to append an existing file, choose

   no.

6. When the DECOMP program prompts you to overwrite an existing file,

   choose yes.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word 6.0 supplied updated UNIDRV.DLL and PSCRIPT.DRV files to correct

problems associated with printing documents with large numbers of fonts. If

you use the previous versions of these files, you may experience random low

memory error messages or GP (general protection) fault errors when you

print, view, or edit your document. The latest version of the UNIDRV.DLL is

3.1.4.

   UNIDRV.DLL   128,432   10/21/93

                             INTRODUCTION

                             ============

Word 6.0 is larger and more robust than earlier versions of the

application, so your computer has to work harder to run it. As a

result, the performance of Windows, and therefore Word 6.0, may be

slower. This Application Note describes how you can increase the

operating speed of Word 6.0 for Windows when it is running under

Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups version 3.1 or

3.11.

If you optimize the performance of Windows, you will also speed up

Word's performance. Optimizing Windows involves both your software

(for example, the operating system version, memory-resident programs,

fonts, and device drivers) and hardware (for example, processor type

and speed, amount of memory, and available hard disk space). You can

use this Application Note as a checklist to optimize both your

software and hardware configurations for Word and other Windows-based

applications running under Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.1

or 3.11. For more information about each topic in this Application

Note, see your MS-DOS or Windows documentation.

If you are unfamiliar with a term used in this Application Note, see

the glossary.

                HOW TO OPTIMIZE WORD ON A 386, 486, OR

              PENTIUM(TM) COMPUTER WITH 4 TO 6 MB OF RAM

              ==========================================

To run Word 6.0, you must have at least 4 megabytes (MB) of RAM. As

with most "minimum" requirements, 4 MB is not the optimal amount of

memory to run Word. To optimally run Word 6.0, we suggest that you

either add more RAM to your computer or optimize your existing RAM.

Even with a 4-MB environment, however, you can almost always improve

Word's performance by modifying your Windows and MS-DOS settings to

free up additional memory.

ADD MORE MEMORY

===============

If you regularly work with large documents (50 pages and larger) or

use many graphics in your documents, adding RAM will give you the most

dramatic improvement in Word's operating speed. If your computer has 8

MB of RAM, Word will run faster, and you can also run another large

application (such as Microsoft Excel) at the same time and interact

with it from Word. On the other hand, if you work primarily with

average-sized documents (50 or fewer pages) and don't use many

graphics, the suggestions that follow should help increase Word's

speed on your 4- to 6-MB computer.

UPGRADE TO MS-DOS VERSION 6.0 OR LATER

======================================

If you are running a version of MS-DOS earlier than version 6.0, you

should upgrade to version 6.0 or later. Beginning with version 6.0,

MS-DOS includes features (such as the MEMMAKER and the DOS=HIGH

commands) that help your computer use its memory more efficiently.

Version 6.0 and later also offer enhanced hard-disk-management

utilities (such as SCANDISK and DEFRAG).

HOW TO MAKE 4 MB SEEM LIKE MORE RAM

===================================

The key to making Word run faster on a computer with 4 MB of RAM is to

free up memory currently used by other operations that have little or

no effect on Word's performance. Use the following three

recommendations to make sure the maximum amount of RAM is available

for Word to use. The first two recommendations optimize Windows, while

the third recommendation specifically optimizes Word.

IMPORTANT: We suggest that you implement all three of these

recommendations, rather than trying only one or two. Of all the

recommendations we subsequently make, these three will probably have

the greatest impact on Word's performance. In fact, after you

implement these three recommendations, Word may run fast enough that

you won't want to further alter your configuration.

1. Increase Available Memory in the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS Files

---------------------------------------------------------------------

   This section discusses how you can use the EMM386 memory manager

   (EMM386.EXE) and SMARTDrive disk-caching program to increase

   available memory in your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files. The

   EMM386 and SMARTDrive programs are supplied with both MS-DOS and

   Windows 3.1. Even if you use a third-party memory manager or disk-

   caching program, these instructions are still applicable, although

   your results may be somewhat different.

   NOTE: Because both the Windows and MS-DOS Setup programs install

   EMM386 and SMARTDrive, be sure your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS

   files point to the latest versions. Use Windows File Manager or the

   MS-DOS dir command to check the file dates of the EMM386.EXE and

   SMARTDRV.EXE files, which are located both in your MS-DOS and

   Windows program directories. Make sure your AUTOEXEC.BAT and

   CONFIG.SYS files reference the newest version of each file. (Also

   be sure you are using the newest version of HIMEM.SYS.)

   CONFIG.SYS

   ----------

   a. On a 4-MB computer, it is important to give Windows access to as

      much RAM as possible. This means you should not configure any

      RAM as expanded memory or create a RAM disk in extended memory

      (using MS-DOS RAMDrive).

      The EMM386.EXE memory manager should appear in your CONFIG.SYS

      file. EMM386 optimizes the use of conventional memory (640K) on

      your computer. Even Windows and Windows-based applications

      (which usually use extended memory) may sometimes use

      conventional memory, so you should maximize the available

      conventional memory for best results. The versions of EMM386

      supplied with MS-DOS 6.0 and later do not allocate expanded

      memory until an operation needs it.

      If you are running MS-DOS 6.0 or later, the EMM386.EXE command

      line is probably already present in your CONFIG.SYS file, so you

      may not need to add it. If you need to add it, use a command

      line similar to the following (where C:\DOS is assumed for the

      location of both your EMM386.EXE and HIMEM.SYS files):

         device=c:\dos\emm386.exe

      NOTE: Add the EMM386.EXE command line after the line that loads

      HIMEM.SYS. Both EMM386.EXE and HIMEM.SYS should be located in

      the same directory, and they should both be the most recent

      versions of the files. After you install EMM386.EXE, you should

      run the MS-DOS MemMaker program to correctly configure your

      computer's memory. For information about how to use MemMaker,

      see your MS-DOS documentation.

      Special Note for MS-DOS Version 5.0

      -----------------------------------

      If you are running MS-DOS version 5.0, you may need to modify

      the EMM386.EXE command line in your CONFIG.SYS file so it does

      not create expanded memory. To do this, add the NOEMS switch in

      place of the RAM switch or a specific numeric switch. For

      example, replace RAM or 1024 in the two lines below

         device=c:\dos\emm386.exe ram x=C000-C7FF

         device=c:\dos\emm386.exe 1024 x=C000-C7FF

      so they appear as follows (you should not alter the other

      settings, such as the X=C0000-C7FF switch):

         device = c:\dos\emm386.exe noems x=C000-C7FF

   b. If the RAMDrive (RAMDRIVE.SYS) command line appears in your

      CONFIG.SYS file, you should disable this command by typing the

      REM command at the beginning of the line, as shown in the

      following example:

         rem device = c:\dos\ramdrive.sys

      NOTE: On a computer with 16 MB or less of physical RAM, a RAM

      disk is not an efficient use of memory when you are running

      Windows.

   AUTOEXEC.BAT

   ------------

   The only line you need to check in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file is the

   SMARTDrive (SMARTDRV.EXE) command line. SMARTDrive is an MS-DOS

   and Windows utility that creates a cache in extended memory so

   that it can store information it reads from your hard disk.

   SMARTDrive improves your computer's performance because an

   application can access information in memory faster than it can

   access the same information on a hard disk.

   Depending on which version of MS-DOS you are running, the

   SMARTDRV.EXE command line includes one or two numbers. The first

   number--the INITCACHESIZE parameter--specifies (in kilobytes)

   the cache size when Windows is not running. The second number--

   the WINCACHESIZE parameter--specifies how much of the cache

   Windows can use when it is running.

   On a 4-MB computer, for all versions of MS-DOS, you should set

   the SMARTDRV.EXE WINCACHESIZE (or second) parameter to 320, as

   shown in the following example:

      c:\dos\smartdrv.exe 2048 320

   NOTE: Windows for Workgroups may set the WinCacheSize parameter

   to 128 instead of 320. If you are running Windows for

   Workgroups, you should not change this number because Windows

   for Workgroups uses a specialized disk-caching utility.

   By default, when you are running MS-DOS 6.0 or later, the

   SMARTDRV.EXE command line does not include any parameters. On a

   4-MB computer, you should add the 2048 320 parameters, as shown

   in the sample above.

2. Create a Permanent Swap File

-------------------------------

   Windows frees memory and speeds up performance by swapping

   information from memory to a swap file on your hard disk. The swap

   file, also known as virtual memory, acts like additional RAM on

   your computer. You still need at least 4 MB of physical RAM to run

   Word, but if you use virtual memory, you can open and edit files

   that are too large to fit in 4 MB of RAM, and you can run more than

   one application at a time. (For example, you may be able to run

   Word and Microsoft Excel at the same time.)

   In Windows, you can create two types of swap files. For more

   information about swap files, see the glossary.

   How to Create a Permanent Swap File in Windows

   ----------------------------------------------

   At the end of this procedure, you will restart Windows or your

   computer, so make sure you close any running applications now.

   a. In Windows Control Panel (usually located in the Main group in

      Windows Program Manager), choose the 386 Enhanced icon.

   b. In the Enhanced dialog box, choose the Virtual Memory button.

   c. Under Swapfile Settings, if the Type setting is Permanent,

      choose the Cancel button and skip to recommendation 3, "Modify

      the WINWORD6.INI File," section of this Application Note. If the

      Type setting is None or Temporary, choose the Change button.

   d. Under New Swapfile Settings, select Permanent in the Type list.

   e. The Recommended Maximum Size setting, which also appears in the

      New Size box, is usually the optimal setting. If the Recommended

      Maximum Size is "12,000 KB" (12 MB) or larger, you can decrease

      the New Size setting as low as 12,000.

   f. If the Use 32-Bit Disk Access option is available at the bottom

      of the Virtual Memory dialog box, you can select it to further

      increase your Windows operating speed. This setting is not

      required to create a permanent swap file.

      NOTE: You should not select the Use 32-Bit Disk Access option if

      power-management utilities are installed on your computer. Power-

      management utilities are often included on laptop (portable)

      computers and the new "green machines."

   g. If you are running Windows for Workgroups 3.11 or later, select

      the Use 32-Bit File Access option and select or type "320"

      (without quotation marks) in the Cache Size box.

   h. Choose OK. If Windows prompts you to restart your computer or

      Windows, choose to restart.

3. Modify the WINWORD6.INI File

-------------------------------

   To increase bitmap-redrawing speed and scrolling speed in Word, you

   can use the instructions below to add BITMAPMEMORY and CACHESIZE

   settings to the [Microsoft Word] section of your WINWORD6.INI file,

   which is located in your Windows program directory (usually,

   C:\WINDOWS). You should quit all sessions of Word before you begin

   these procedures.

   BitMapMemory

   ------------

   If your documents often contain many graphics, you should skip this

   section, as it could actually make Word run more slowly. Otherwise,

   by modifying the BitMapMemory setting, you can free up some of the

   memory (up to 512K) Word reserves to work with bitmapped graphics

   so Word can use it for other operations. (For more information

   about bitmaps, see the glossary.) The default BitMapMemory size is

   1024K (1 MB).

   Do the following to add the BitMapMemory setting to your

   WINWORD6.INI file:

   a. In Windows Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu.

   b. In the Command Line box, type WINWORD6.INI and choose OK. This

      opens your WINWORD6.INI file in Windows Notepad. The following

      is a sample of the beginning of a typical WINWORD6.INI file:

         [Microsoft Word]

         wphelp=0

         user-dot-path=c:\winword6\template

         workgroup-dot-path=c:\winword6\template

         picture-path=c:\winword6\clipart

   c. On a new line, directly below the [Microsoft Word] line, type

      BITMAPMEMORY=512, as shown in the following example:

         [Microsoft Word]

         bitmapmemory=512

         wphelp=0

         user-dot-path=c:\winword6\template

         workgroup-dot-path=c:\winword6\template

         picture-path=c:\winword6\clipart

   d. Save the file and quit Notepad, then restart Word.

   e. If Word does not seem to run faster, or if Word runs more

      slowly, open your WINWORD6.INI file again using steps a and b

      above and remove the BitMapMemory setting. After you save and

      close your WINWORD6.INI file, you must quit and restart Word for

      this change to take effect.

   CacheSize

   ---------

   The CacheSize setting defines the size of the internal Document

   Text cache in Word. The default CacheSize setting is 64K, which is

   also the minimum. If you frequently work with large documents, you

   can increase the CACHESIZE setting to reduce the frequency with

   which Word accesses your hard disk to retrieve parts of your

   document--thereby improving Word's performance. Because of memory

   constraints on a 4-MB computer, the maximum CacheSize setting you

   should use is 128K.

   Do the following to add the CacheSize setting to your WINWORD6.INI

   file:

   a. Repeat steps a and b in the "BitMapMemory" section of this

      Application Note to open your WINWORD6.INI file.

   b. On a new line, directly below the [Microsoft Word] line, type

      CACHESIZE=128, as shown in the following example:

         [Microsoft Word]

         cachesize=128

         bitmapmemory=512

         WPHelp=0

   c. Save the file and quit Notepad, then restart Word.

What Else?

If you want to try to squeeze some extra speed out of Word or any

other Windows-based application, take a look at the "Additional Tips

for Improving Word for Windows Performance" section of this

Application Note.

                HOW TO OPTIMIZE WORD ON A 386, 486, OR

              PENTIUM COMPUTER WITH AT LEAST 6 MB OF RAM

              ==========================================

On a computer with at least 6 MB of RAM, Word 6.0 for Windows usually

runs well, even if you make no changes to your Word or Windows

configurations. If you have 6 MB or more of RAM, Word can make more

use of memory and won't need to access the hard disk as frequently.

Even so, you may still be able to improve Word's performance by making

the following additional adjustments to your system.

PERMANENT SWAP FILE

===================

With a permanent swap file, Windows manages the memory on your

computer more quickly. Without a permanent swap file, Windows often

spends extra time on memory organization. Even if you have a lot of

RAM (16 MB or more), you should use a permanent swap file. If you have

more than 16 MB of RAM, you can create a small (1024K, or 1 MB)

permanent swap file. To create a permanent swap file, use the

instructions in the "How to Create a Permanent Swap File in Windows"

section of this Application Note.

WINWORD6.INI FILE

=================

You can increase the BitMapMemory or CacheSize settings in your

WINWORD6.INI file if you have at least 8 MB of RAM. To modify these

settings, use the procedures in the "Modify the WINWORD6.INI File"

section of this Application Note. The "Modify the WINWORD6.INI File"

section also contains a description of the BitMapMemory and CacheSize

settings.

BitMapMemory

------------

If your documents frequently contain many bitmapped graphics (such as

scanned images and Windows screen captures), you can increase the

redrawing and scrolling speed of bitmaps by increasing the amount of

memory that Word reserves for these operations. On a computer with at

least 8 MB of RAM, you can increase the BitMapMemory setting as high

as 2048K (2 MB). The following sample WINWORD6.INI entry sets the

BitMapMemory value at 2048K:

   [Microsoft Word]

   bitmapmemory=2048

CacheSize

---------

If you primarily work with large documents, you can increase the

CacheSize setting to enlarge Word's internal Document Text cache. With

a larger cache, Word won't need to access the hard disk as frequently,

which will speed up performance. Start by changing the CacheSize

setting to 256K and then, if necessary, increase it to 1024K (1 MB).

The following sample WINWORD6.INI entries set the CacheSize value at

256K and 1024K, respectively:

   [Microsoft Word]

   cachesize=256

   [Microsoft Word]

   cachesize=1024

   NOTE: You may not need both the BitMapMemory and CacheSize

   settings, depending on the type of documents you usually create. If

   you change one of these settings and do not notice any improvement

   in Word's performance, delete the setting so that Word, Windows,

   and other applications can use the memory for other operations. You

   might find that Word's default settings already provide optimal

   performance.

      ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR IMPROVING WORD FOR WINDOWS PERFORMANCE

      ==========================================================

GENERAL SPEED TIPS

==================

Determine Whether Your TEMP Directory Should Be on a Compressed Drive

---------------------------------------------------------------------

If you use a compression utility to compress your hard disk, you may

wonder whether the TEMP directory should be located on a compressed

drive. There is no easy answer to this question. Generally, if you

have a fast computer, you will not notice any difference in

performance when the TEMP directory is on a compressed drive. In fact,

on a computer with an older, slower hard drive, you can sometimes

improve performance by placing your TEMP directory on a compressed

drive.

The only way to know for sure if your computer runs faster or slower

with the TEMP directory on a compressed drive is to try it. Change the

SET TEMP command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and see if you notice any

performance difference (be sure to restart [reboot] your computer

after you modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that the changes can take

effect).

IMPORTANT: You must consider the following if you place your TEMP

directory on an uncompressed drive:

Most uncompressed drives are very small. Any drive that the set

temp command points to should have 6 MB or more of free disk space.

If too little space is free, you may have problems with printing,

converting documents, or creating new documents.

Run Fewer Programs in the Background

------------------------------------

Every program you run--including terminate-and-stay-resident programs

(TSRs)--consumes memory and processor power. The more programs you run

at the same time under Windows, the greater the possibility that your

computer may run slower. If you are running programs that you do not

need for the work at hand, close them one at a time to see if they

affect Word's performance. Once you determine the effect on Word, you

can choose which programs to close to improve Word's performance.

Use the Right Video Driver for Faster Screen Display

----------------------------------------------------

You may not need the highest resolution video driver and the up to 16

million colors your video driver supports. Additional color support in

your video driver can dramatically decrease the speed of screen

updates when you scroll or update graphics. If you are writing reports

and working with spreadsheets, you may need only 16 to 256 colors, so

you can switch to a video driver that supports a lower resolution and

fewer colors. You can always switch back if there is no change in

performance or if your work requires additional video capabilities.

Use the table below, which lists the memory "cost" of additional

colors, to balance your performance needs with your display needs.

   Colors       |  Memory cost

-----------------------------------------------------------

   16           |  Base number (lowest cost)

   256          |  2 times the memory/work of 16 colors

   65K          |  4 times the memory/work of 16 colors

   16 million   |  6 times the memory/work of 16 colors

   NOTE: If you use one of the newest video cards that are designed to

   accelerate Windows, you may find that Windows runs just as fast

   with 16 million colors as with 256 colors.

Use Fewer Fonts

---------------

The more fonts you install in Windows, the slower Windows and Word

start because both programs read the entire font list at startup.

Furthermore, fonts use memory and file resources that Word needs to

perform some complex projects. If your work sometimes requires the use

of a large selection of fonts, consider using a font-organizing

utility, such as the Microsoft Font Assistant, which is supplied with

the Microsoft Word Assistant package. Font Assistant and other similar

utilities group fonts together so you can activate or deactivate them

in Windows as you need them. With Font Assistant, you can have a large

font library, but Word's performance is affected only when you

actually need to use the fonts.

Create a New Permanent Swap File

--------------------------------

Sometimes, after long periods of use, Windows may run faster if you

remove the existing permanent swap file and create a new one. If you

notice that your Windows performance has degraded over time, use the

following steps to regenerate your permanent swap file:

 1. During this procedure, you will restart Windows or your computer,

    so you should close any running applications now.

 2. In Windows Control Panel (usually located in the Main group in

    Windows Program Manager), choose the 386 Enhanced icon.

 3. In the Enhanced dialog box, choose the Virtual Memory button.

 4. Choose the Change button.

 5. Under New Swapfile Settings, select None in the Type list, and

    then choose OK. Choose Yes when Windows asks if you are sure you

    want to make changes to virtual-memory settings.

 6. In the dialog box that asks if you want to restart Windows or your

    computer, choose the Restart Windows or Restart Computer button.

 7. After Windows restarts, repeat steps 1 through 3 to open the

    Virtual Memory dialog box.

 8. Under New Swapfile Settings, select Permanent in the Type list.

 9. If necessary, change the New Size setting, and then choose OK.

    Choose Yes when Windows asks if you are sure you want to make

    changes to virtual-memory settings.

10. In the dialog box that asks if you want to restart Windows, choose

    the Restart Windows button.

How to Print Faster

===================

Many factors affect printing speed. Below is a short checklist of

steps you can take that may help increase printing speed:

 - Make sure your SET TEMP command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file points to

   a valid location on a drive with at least 6 to 8 MB of available

   disk space.

 - If you print large documents that take several minutes to finish

   printing, disable any screen savers during the print job, or switch

   to the Blank Screen screen saver. Animated screen savers use

   computer processor time that you can allocate to your print job.

 - If you print over a network, consult your network documentation to

   make sure your print server is working optimally.

 - If you don't need to continue working while Word is printing, turn

   off the Background Printing option in Word. This option allocates

   processor time to Word during a print job so you can continue

   working, but this means less processor time is available for

   printing. To turn off Background Printing, choose Options from the

   Tools menu, select the Print tab, clear the Background Printing

   option, and then choose OK.

    APPENDIX A--HOW TO EDIT YOUR AUTOEXEC.BAT AND CONFIG.SYS FILES

    ==============================================================

MAKE BACKUP COPIES!

===================

Before you modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files, it is

important that you make backup copies of them. If something goes

wrong, or if you want to restore your original settings, you can use

your backup files to restart (reboot) your computer. Use the following

steps to make backup copies:

1. Choose the MS-DOS Prompt icon in Windows Program Manager to open an

   MS-DOS Prompt window.

2. At the command prompt, type the following and press ENTER:

      c:

   NOTE: In this procedure, it is assumed that drive C is the boot

   drive for your computer.

3. At the command prompt, type the following and press ENTER at the

   end of each line:

      cd \

      copy config.sys config.xxx

      copy autoexec.bat autoexec.xxx

      exit

   After you type EXIT and press ENTER, the MS-DOS Prompt window

   closes and you return to Windows.

   IMPORTANT: If you call Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) for

   assistance while you edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files,

   be sure to tell the support engineer the names of your backup files

   (that is, CONFIG.XXX and AUTOEXEC.XXX).

SYSEDIT: THE BEST TOOL FOR EDITING AUTOEXEC.BAT AND CONFIG.SYS

==============================================================

Windows supplies an editing tool called SysEdit (System Configuration

Editor) that automatically opens the key files that control your

computer (including the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files). Use the

following instructions to run SysEdit:

1. In Windows File Manager or Program Manager, choose Run from the

   File menu.

2. In the Command Line box, type SYSEDIT, and then choose OK.

3. Under Windows 3.1, SysEdit displays four files, including

   AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. Under Windows for Workgroups, SysEdit

   displays several additional files.

4. To activate the AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS window, open the Window

   menu and choose the filename from the numbered list at the bottom

   of the menu.

5. As a routine precautionary measure, before you modify each file,

   choose Print from the File menu to print a copy of the file. If

   necessary, you can use this printed copy to quickly restore any of

   the original settings.

6. Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files as necessary. SysEdit

   works like other word processors such as Word for Windows or

   Windows Write.

   TIP: Instead of deleting a line, type REM at the beginning of the

   line to disable the command. This makes it easy to undo changes

   later.

7. When you finish editing your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files,

   save the files, then choose Exit from the File menu to quit

   SysEdit.

8. You must quit Windows and restart (reboot) your computer so the

   changes in your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files can take effect.

   NOTE: SysEdit always makes its own backup copy of any files you

   change, using the filename extension .SYD (for example, SysEdit

   saves CONFIG.SYS as CONFIG.SYD). However, SysEdit replaces existing

   .SYD files each time you modify a file, so you still need to make

   backup copies of your original system files using the method

   described in the "Make Backup Copies!" section of this Application

   Note.

USING BACKUP COPIES TO UNDO CHANGES

===================================

If you need to undo the changes you made to your AUTOEXEC.BAT or

CONFIG.SYS files, use the following instructions to restore the backup

copies you made in the "Make Backup Copies!" section of this

Application Note.

IMPORTANT: This procedure completely reverses all the changes you

made to both your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files. It leaves no

record of any of the modifications you made to either file.

1. Choose the MS-DOS Prompt icon in Windows Program Manager to open an

   MS-DOS Prompt window.

2. At the command prompt, type the following and press ENTER:

      c:

   NOTE: In this procedure, it is assumed that drive C is the boot

   drive for your computer.

3. At the command prompt, type the following and press ENTER at the

   end of each line:

      cd \

      copy config.xxx config.sys

      copy autoexec.xxx autoexec.bat

      exit

   After you type EXIT and press ENTER, the MS-DOS Prompt window

   closes and you return to Windows.

4. Exit Windows and restart (reboot) your computer so the settings in

   your restored AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files can take effect.

              APPENDIX B--RULES FOR THE SET TEMP COMMAND

              ==========================================

The SET TEMP command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file defines the directory

where your programs store temporary (.TMP) and "scratch" files. If the

SET TEMP command is not correct, you may have problems printing,

converting, and even creating new Word documents. The following are

two examples of valid SET TEMP commands:

   set temp=c:\temp

   set temp=c:\windows\temp

Use the following checklist to make sure your SET TEMP command is

correct:

 - There should be only one SET TEMP command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT

   file. Delete all the "extras."

   NOTE: If there is also a set tmp command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file,

   that's okay--it can even point to the same directory as your TEMP

   directory. Some applications use the set tmp command to indicate

   where to store .TMP files.

 - There is only one space on the entire line, between the words SET

   and TEMP.

 - The directory listed after the equal sign (=) must exist.

 - The directory listed after the equal sign (=) must not be the root

   directory of a drive. For example, SET TEMP=C:\ is not a valid SET

   TEMP command.

 - Do not use a RAM disk for your TEMP directory, regardless of how

   much RAM your computer has. While this practice may increase speed,

   it has also been shown to cause document corruption. In addition,

   the default location for AutoSave files is the TEMP directory, so

   if your computer crashes or you're forced to reboot, you will lose

   all your AutoSave files as well as your .TMP files.

 - The directory listed after the equal sign (=) must be on a drive

   with at least 6 MB of free disk space to ensure good performance

   under normal circumstances. Your Word and Windows operations may

   function properly with less free disk space, but sooner or later

   you will probably have problems with printing, converting, or

   creating documents. You should periodically delete old .TMP files

   from your TEMP directory to ensure there is always sufficient disk

   space.

   NOTE: After you install the latest version of MS-DOS, you may find

   the following set temp command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

      set temp=c:\dos

   This is a completely valid setting, but you may want to change this

   to a different directory so your .TMP files don't get mixed up with

   your MS-DOS files. It's easier to delete .TMP files periodically if

   you store them in their own directory.

                         APPENDIX C--GLOSSARY

                         ====================

AUTOEXEC.BAT

------------

A text file that contains a list of commands that your computer executes

every time you start (boot) or restart (reboot) your computer.

bitmap

------

A graphic made up of a collection of colored dots. The computer stores

the graphic as one or more bits of information for each dot--hence the

name bitmap. Some filename extensions for graphic files that are bitmaps

include .PCX, .TIFF, .BMP, and .GIF.

cache

-----

A pool of memory set aside to store items from a slower device, such as

a hard disk. By using a cache, your computer can retrieve often-used

information much faster than if it were required to find it on the

hard disk each time.

compressed drive

----------------

A drive that has had its data compressed to take up less space. Special

software must be running in the system to read from and write to a drive

that is set up this way.

CONFIG.SYS

----------

A text file that contains a list of commands that MS-DOS executes every

time you start (boot) or restart (reboot) your computer. The CONFIG.SYS

file contains MS-DOS settings and drivers that run operations such as

those pertaining to your network and devices such as your CD-ROM drive.

conventional memory

-------------------

The base RAM on your computer, typically the first 640K. Conventional

memory is the only kind of RAM that MS-DOS-based applications can use,

unless you use an expanded memory manager (EMM). Compare expanded

memory, extended memory.

driver (Windows printer or video driver)

----------------------------------------

Software that Windows loads at startup. Drivers give Windows specific

instructions about your video card and printer that Windows and Windows-

based applications use to display information on the screen and to

print information on your printer.

expanded memory

---------------

A type of physical RAM, up to 8 MB, usually used by MS-DOS-based

applications that support its use. Windows does not use expanded memory.

In Windows, if you run an MS-DOS-based application (such as Microsoft

Word 6.0 for MS-DOS) that requires expanded memory, Windows emulates

expanded memory (if you are running in standard mode, Windows uses the

EMM386.EXE device driver to emulate expanded memory). The use of expanded

memory is defined by the Expanded Memory Specification (EMS). Compare

conventional memory, extended memory.

extended memory

---------------

Physical RAM beyond 1 MB, accessible when your computer is operating

in protected mode (the mode that supports multitasking). Extended memory

operates through a memory manager such as MS-DOS HIMEM.SYS. Windows uses

extended memory. Extended memory is not typically available to MS-DOS-

based applications except through a device driver such as EMM386.EXE.

The use of extended memory is defined by the Extended Memory Specification

(XMS). Compare expanded memory, conventional memory.

RAM

---

Acronym for random access memory. This is the memory on semiconductor

chips in your computer, not on the hard disk. The more RAM you have, the

more programs you can run at the same time and the faster your programs

may run.

reboot

------

To restart a computer by reloading the operating system. You can reboot

some computers by pressing the RESET button on the computer. On all

computers, you can reboot by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL on your keyboard (press

all three keys at the same time). You should quit Windows before you

reboot.

"scratch" file

--------------

A file that an application creates to store work in progress. It is

maintained by the application, usually without your knowledge. The

application typically deletes the scratch file at the end of the session.

set temp

--------

A command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file that tells programs where temporary

files should be stored. (For more information, see the Appendix B section

of this Application Note.)

swap file

---------

A file Windows creates on your hard disk that it uses to swap information

into and out of memory. Windows uses the swap file to create virtual

memory. There are two types of swap files--permanent and temporary.

   permanent swap file

   -------------------

   Windows creates this type of swap file only once, and the space

   it occupies on your hard disk is not available for any other purpose,

   even when Windows is not running. This is the only drawback to a

   permanent swap file; however, if you work primarily in Windows, the

   cost in hard-disk space is well worth the benefit of enhanced Windows

   performance. Unlike a temporary swap file, a permanent swap file does

   not change size as the free disk space on your hard disk decreases.

   You cannot place a permanent swap file on a drive that has been

   compressed using a disk-compression utility.

   temporary swap file

   -------------------

   Windows creates this type of swap file each time you start Windows

   and deletes it each time you quit Windows. The advantage of a

   temporary swap file is that you have more free disk space when

   Windows is not running. The drawback is that a temporary swap file

   is not as fast as a permanent swap file, and its size shrinks as

   the free space on your hard disk decreases. A temporary swap file

   is the only type you can place on a compressed drive.

   NOTE: If you have sufficient disk space on an uncompressed drive,

   you should create a permanent swap file. It is worth the effort to

   reduce the size of your compressed drive to enlarge the

   uncompressed drive to create sufficient space for an optimally

   sized permanent swap file. Refer to your MS-DOS 6.0 or disk-

   compression utility documentation for more information about

   changing the size of a compressed drive.

virtual memory

--------------

Also called disk memory. Virtual memory is not in the RAM chips. It is

space on the hard disk that your computer uses as if it were RAM. With

virtual memory, your applications can edit files that would otherwise be

too large to fit in physical RAM. Windows uses temporary or permanent

swap files to create virtual memory.

Windows for Workgroups 3.1 and 3.11

-----------------------------------

The versions of Windows that include built-in networking capabilities.

Additionally, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is enhanced so that it runs

faster than earlier versions of Windows.

Closing an InputBox$() Dialog in Word 6.0

Article ID: Q108629

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

To close an InputBox$() in Word 6.0, you must press TAB, ENTER.

The TAB key moves the focus to the OK button so that when you press the

ENTER key, the dialog box is closed.

This behavior is a Word 6.0 design change. In Word 2.0, you pressed

SHIFT+ENTER to enter a new line in an Inputbox$. In Word 6.0 you can enter

a new line by pressing the ENTER key, but as a result, the ENTER key does

not choose the OK button.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1

--------

If you want the user to type a single line of data and be able to press the

ENTER key to close the dialog box, you can use a user-defined dialog

instead of an InputBox. For example:

Sub MAIN

Begin Dialog UserDialog 320, 144, "Microsoft Word"

 TextBox 10, 66, 292, 18, .TextBox1

 OKButton 10, 6, 88, 21

 CancelButton 10, 30, 88, 21

End Dialog

Dim dlg As UserDialog

n = Dialog(dlg)

If n = -1 then Insert dlg.textbox1

End Sub

Method 2

--------

If your dialog box needs to use a multiple line edit box, you can add an

accelerator to the OK button using a Dialog function. The OK button

accelerator allows the dialog to be closed without using the mouse (press

ALT+O). For example:

Sub MAIN

Begin Dialog UserDialog 320, 144, "Microsoft Word", .dialogfunction

 TextBox 10, 66, 292, 36, .TextBox1, 1

 OKButton 10, 6, 88, 21

 CancelButton 10, 30, 88, 21

End Dialog

Dim dlg As UserDialog

n = Dialog(dlg, - 1)

If n = - 1 Then Insert dlg.textbox1

End Sub

Function dialogfunction(ID$, Action, Suppval)

 If action = 1 Then DlgText "OK", "&OK"

End Function

Displaying a Word or Custom Dialog Using OLE Automation

Article ID: Q108686

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

You cannot directly define and display a Microsoft Word 6.0 dialog box

through OLE Automation. However, you can run a WordBasic macro that

displays a dialog box.

To display a Word dialog or user-defined dialog when using OLE Automation,

activate Word for Windows and then run a WordBasic macro that includes the

dialog statements.

WordBasic ToolsMacro Parameter Syntax

-------------------------------------

ToolsMacro [.Name = text], [.Run], [.Edit], [.Show = number],

[.Delete], [.Rename], [.Description = text], [.NewName = text],

[.SetDesc]

Examples

--------

The following Visual Basic procedure activates Word for Windows and runs a

global macro named "test".

Sub Command1_Click ()

Dim wordobj As Object

Set wordobj = CreateObject("Word.Basic")

If wordobj.DocMaximize() = True Then

 AppActivate "Microsoft Word - " + wordobj.[WindowName$]()

Else

 AppActivate "Microsoft Word"

End If

wordobj.ToolsMacro "test", True, , 1

End Sub

NOTE: Word needs to have the focus (AppActivate) prior to running the

global "test" macro.

The "test" macro can be used to display a Word dialog or a user-defined

dialog. The following WordBasic macros serve as examples of each.

REM WordBasic macro named "Test"

REM This macro displays Word's FileSaveAs dialog

Sub MAIN

Dim dlg As FileSaveAs

GetCurValues dlg

n = Dialog(dlg)

If n = - 1 Then FileSaveAs dlg

End Sub

REM WordBasic macro named "Test"

REM This macro displays a user-defined dialog.

Sub MAIN

Begin Dialog UserDialog 320, 144, "Microsoft Word"

 OKButton 210, 76, 88, 21

 TextBox 29, 38, 160, 18, .TextBox1

 CancelButton 212, 101, 88, 21

 Text 29, 21, 35, 13, "Text", .Text1

End Dialog

Dim dlg As UserDialog

n = Dialog(dlg)

End Sub

Word 6.0 Does Not Include Visual Basic, Applications Edition

Article ID: Q108846

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 for Windows does not include the Visual Basic programming system,

Applications Edition. Instead, Microsoft has made enhancements to WordBasic

and added support for OLE Automation as a server only.

For information on the WordBasic enhancements, do the following:

1. From the Help menu, choose Contents.

2. Select the "Programming with Microsoft Word" topic.

3. Select the "What's New in WordBasic" topic.

Object linking and embedding (OLE) Automation is a Windows protocol that

allows an application to share data or control another application. OLE

Automation replaces dynamic data exchange (DDE).

Word 6.0 for Windows provides other applications with an object called

"Basic." Using this object, other applications that support OLE Automation

(such as Visual Basic 3.0) can send WordBasic instructions to Word for

Windows. Word, however, cannot use OLE Automation to access other

applications.

For more information on OLE Automation and Word 6.0, query on the

following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Why Word 6.0 for Windows Requires Share

Article ID: Q108847

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The OLE 2.0 Compound Document implementation that Microsoft Word 6.0 for

Windows uses to save documents to the hard disk requires the file range-

locking functionality of SHARE.EXE, or in Windows for Workgroups,

VSHARE.386. Range locking allows an OLE server application to lock a

certain range of a document that contains the OLE object to be edited.

Although OLE 2.0 applications are not required to use compound files,

compound file usage is encouraged because the OLE 2.0 storage system

provides efficient and flexible access to object data. The OLE 2.0 storage

system allows objects, or portions of objects, to be read from disk to

memory without the need to load the entire file.

The OLE 2.0 Compound Document implementation is handled by STORAGE.DLL.

Word and other OLE 2.0 applications may choose to write to STORAGE.DLL,

which then actually writes the file to disk. STORAGE.DLL requires the file

range-locking functionality that is available with the following:

                             Enhanced       Standard

 ----------------------------------------------------

 Word 6.0 and Windows 3.1    SHARE.EXE      SHARE.EXE

 Word 6.0a and Windows 3.1   SHARE.EXE      SHARE.EXE

                                or

                             VSHARE.386

 Word 6.0/6.0a and Windows   SHARE.EXE      SHARE.EXE

 for Workgroups                 or

                             VSHARE.386

Note: VSHARE.386 is included with Word 6.0a for Windows. If you are

running Windows 3.1 in 386 Enhanced mode and are using Word 6.0a, you

do not need to use the MS-DOS Share utility.

Microsoft recommends that you use the following SHARE.EXE parameters:

   SHARE /L:500 /F:5100

To conserve conventional memory you can use lower SHARE settings. If you

decrease the file locks (/L:) or file space (/F:) settings and you

experience errors when opening or saving documents, simply increase the

settings and restart your computer so the changes can take effect. When you

increase the /L: parameter, you may also need to increase the value of /F:.

Each lock reserved by /L requires 18 bytes. Word 6.0 requires a minimum of

three file locks for each document it opens.

Foreign Language Smart Quotes Change to English Smart Quotes

Article ID: Q108862

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you paste text from one localized version of Word for Windows to

another same-language localized application (such as Microsoft Publisher)

that pastes rich-text format (RTF) from the Windows Clipboard, all the

localized smart quotes change to English smart quotes.

The same thing happens if you open an RTF file from one localized version

of an application in another same-language localized application. For

example, if you open a document you created in the French localized version

of Word in the French localized version of Publisher, all the French smart

quotes change to English smart quotes.

This does not happen if you paste text from one localized version of Word

to an application that is localized for a different language. Similarly, it

does not happen if you open an RTF file from one localized version of Word

in an application that is localized for a different language.

CAUSE

=====

The RTF Specification states that smart quotation marks (ldblquote and

lrdbquote, respectively) must convert to ANSI characters 0147 and 0148,

which are the English-language smart quote characters.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Word Document Object in Access Has Wrong Column and Page Width

Article ID: Q108863

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Access for Windows, version 1.1

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Microsoft Access for Windows, if you insert a Word 6.0 document object

into a bound OLE (object linking and embedding) frame on a form, the page

width of the Word for Windows document may change to a negative

measurement, and the column width may change to 0.01 inch.

CAUSE

=====

These page layout settings change if the width of your object frame in

Microsoft Access is greater than 12.5 inches. This problem does not occur

if the width of your object frame is 12.5 inches or less.

The page width of your Word document changes to the width of the object

frame on your Access form minus 25 inches. For example, if the width of the

object frame on your form is 18 inches, the Page Width setting for your

Word document object is -7 inches (18 minus 25).

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

You can manually change the page and column width settings.

GP Fault in OLE2.DLL when Starting Word

Article ID: Q108864

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Office for Windows, version 4.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0,6.0a

 - Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 5.0

 - Microsoft Works for Windows, version 3.0

 - Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, version 4.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you are running under a beta (prerelease) version of Microsoft Windows

version 3.1, the following error message may occur when you start Word for

Windows:

   MSWORD caused a GP Fault error in OLE2.DLL.

CAUSE

=====

Word 6.0 is designed to run properly on the retail release of Windows 3.1;

Microsoft cannot guarantee the functionality of Word running under a beta

build of Windows.

RESOLUTION

==========

To determine whether you are running a beta version of Windows 3.1, switch

to Windows Program Manager and choose About Program Manager from the Help

menu. "Version 3.1" should display in the dialog box. If there is a period

and any numbers following "3.1," you are running a beta version of Windows.

Microsoft has received reports of this problem from customers running the

following beta versions:

   3.1.068

   3.1.070

   3.1.071

   3.1.0xx

To resolve the problem, obtain the retail version of Windows 3.1. To obtain

new or updated Microsoft products, call the Microsoft Sales and Information

Center at (800) 426-9400. If you are outside the United States, contact the

Microsoft subsidiary for your area. To locate your subsidiary, call

Microsoft International Customer Service at (206) 936-8661.

Envelope Address Style Is Double-Spaced

Article ID: Q108865

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use a letter document created in Word 2.x for Windows in Word 6.0

for Windows and attach an envelope to the document, the Envelope Address

Style becomes double spaced.

CAUSE

=====

Envelopes attached to documents that were originally created using any of

the Word 2.x letter templates will show and print as double spaced in Word

6.0 for Windows. The Envelope Address style contained in these letters

converts with the paragraph formatting of 6 pt Spacing Before and 6 pt

Spacing After. Additionally, if the address contained new line characters

at the end of each line as a Word 2.x document, the new line characters

will be replaced with normal carriage returns.

RESOLUTION

==========

To correct this problem:

1. Open any document created using a letter template.

2. From the Format menu, choose Style.

3. From the List box, select All Styles.

4. From the Styles list, select Envelope Address, and choose the Modify

   button.

5. From the Format menu, choose Paragraph.

6. Change the settings for Spacing Before and After to 0 pt, and choose OK.

   Select the Add To Template check box, then choose OK.

7. From the File menu, choose Save All. If prompted, choose Yes to save the

   template to the <Winword>\TEMPLATE directory, overwriting the file with

   the Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0 format.

To automatically update each document created from the template, you

must perform the following steps:

1. Open the previously created letter document.

2. From the File menu, choose Templates. Choose the Attach button.

3. Select the template that the letter was created from (from the above

   listed procedure) and choose OK.

4. Select the Automatically Update Document Styles check box and choose OK.

   This will ensure that when a document created from the template is

   opened, that the style is automatically changed to reflect the changes

   to Spacing Before and Spacing After. Envelopes will now be created with

   the proper Envelope Address style.

NORMAL.DOT Not Saved After Starting Word with /A Switch

Article ID: Q108917

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word for Windows does not save changes to your NORMAL.DOT template when you

start Word with the /a switch.

CAUSE

=====

This is a design feature of Word. The /a switch starts Word without loading

any templates or add-in programs.

"Cannot Save or Create File" Error Message

Article ID: Q108918

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you save a file to a network drive in Word Document format, the

following error message may occur in Word for Windows, even though

SHARE.EXE is loaded correctly on your computer:

   Word cannot save or create this file. Make sure the disk is not

   full or write protected. <path><filename>

NOTE: Sometimes you can save the file the first time to a network drive,

but the error occurs when you try to save the file a second time.

Similarly, when you open a Word for Windows document from a network drive,

the following error message may occur:

   Cannot open document.

The above errors do not occur if you save the file to your local hard drive

or floppy disk drive. Similarly, the error does not occur if you save the

file to a network drive in a file format other than Word Document format,

such as Word For Windows 2.0 format or RTF (rich-text format).

CAUSE

=====

You cannot save Word 6.0 documents on a network drive if your network

operating system (NOS) file-sharing and file-locking capabilities are; not

turned on or, set too low.

The MS-DOS utility, SHARE.EXE, provides file-locking capability only to

your local drives, not to network drives. As a result, Word relies on the

network operating system to provide file sharing and locking for files

located on network drives.

You can save in other file formats on a network drive because the file

converters do not use the STORAGE.DLL file, which requires file-locking

capabilities.

WORKAROUND

==========

If the "Cannot save or create file" error message occurs, save your

document to a local hard or floppy drive.

Sharing Violation Running Word over a Network

Article ID: Q109089

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

After you install Word for Windows on a network, one of the following error

messages may occur when you start Word at a workstation:

   Sharing Violation on Drive C:

   This file is in use by another application.

CAUSE 1

=======

These errors occur when you try to start Word after another workstation has

already done so if the files in the Word program directory are not flagged

read-only. This can happen if you do not change the file attributes to read-

only after you perform an administrator's installation (Setup /A) of Word

on the file server or shared directory. The /A Setup switch copies all the

files from the Word disks into the appropriate directory, but it does not

change the file attributes of the files.

A second cause for this error may occur if a NORMAL.DOT and/or WINWORD.OPT

file is located in the same directory as the WINWORD.EXE file on the

server, a sharing violation occurs when more than one user attempts to use

Word.

RESOLUTION

==========

As directed in Appendix B of the "Microsoft Word User's Guide," you must

set the access privileges to read-only for the server directories in which

you installed Word components. You must also ensure that all users who may

need to install Word on their workstation from the network have read

privileges for those directories.

The resolution to the second cause is to remove the NORMAL.DOT and/or

WINWORD.OPT file from the network directory.

DefaultDir$(0) Does Not Return DOC-PATH Directory

Article ID: Q109090

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The DefaultDir$(0) function may or may not return the DOC-PATH directory.

To display the DOC-PATH directory, choose Options from the Tools menu and

select the File Locations tab. The DOC-PATH is the directory listed under

Location for the Document File Type.

CAUSE

=====

By design, the DefaultDir$(0) function returns the current default

directory, which you can change by selecting a different directory in the

File Open dialog box. As a result, if you have not changed the default

directory since you started the current Word session, DefaultDir$(0)

returns the DOC-PATH directory. On the other hand, if you change the

default directory, DefaultDir$(0) returns the current default directory

instead of the DOC-PATH directory.

Text Wraps One Character Per Line in Multiple-Column Document

Article ID: Q109092

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In a document formatted for variable-width columns, text may wrap so that

only one character appears on each line, as shown in the following example:

O

N

E

L

E

T

T

E

R

P

E

R

L

I

N

E

CAUSE

=====

Text wraps after one character in a variable-width-column section if you

set a paragraph indent value that is too large for the current column

width. When you create variable-width columns (by clearing the Equal Column

Widths option and setting unequal width values, or by selecting the Left or

Right preset in the Format Columns dialog box), Word relaxes the error

checking criteria for valid indent values, so no error message appears to

notify you that you have set an indent that is too large for the column

width. For example, no error message appears if you set a 4-inch right

indent in a 3-inch column, but all the text wraps after one character.

This problem does not occur if you create columns of equal width (by

selecting the Equal Column Widths option or by selecting the One, Two, or

Three preset).

STATUS

======

This is by design in Word for Windows. This is not a problem in Word for

the Macintosh.

WORKAROUND

==========

Adjust the paragraph indent settings so the indent fits within the column

width.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Error checking was relaxed for variable-width columns because Word does not

calculate valid indent values based on the current column, but rather

calculates based on the AVERAGE width of the columns. If Word used this

model to error check the indents in a variable-width-column section, some

valid indents would not be allowed. For example, if one column is .5 inch

wide and the other is 5 inches wide, the average column width is 2.75

inches, which means that Word would not allow an indent of more than 2.75

inches in the 5-inch column. To prevent this problem, error checking for

variable-width columns uses the entire page width (minus the margins) as

the maximum allowable indent value.

First Two List Levels Have Same Multilevel Numbering Level

Article ID: Q109093

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you apply multilevel list formatting using the Bullets And Numbering

command on the Format menu, Word for Windows may format the first two

levels of your list using the same predefined multilevel format.

CAUSE

=====

Word may apply the same multilevel format if you change the default tab

stop setting to less than .5 inch (if the default International Measurement

setting in Windows Control Panel is English) or less than 1.25 cm (if the

default is Metric).

Word determines the predefined multilevel indent levels by dividing the

indent setting by the International Measurement setting in Windows Control

Panel. For example, if the indent is .5 inch, Word divides by .5 and

formats the paragraph for multilevel list Level 1. Similarly, if the indent

is 1 inch, Word formats the paragraph for multilevel list Level 2 (1 inch

divided by .5 inch = 2). Word does not use the default tab setting to

determine the predefined multilevel list settings.

As a result, if the default tab setting is less than the International

Measurement setting, Word formats the first two list levels for Level 1.

For example, if your default tab setting is .4 inch, Word incorrectly

formats both the unindented paragraph and the paragraph with a .4-inch

indent as Level 1, as shown in the following example:

1.  First Level List (no indent)

    1. Second Level List (.4-inch indent)

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Manually promote or demote the levels in your multilevel list using the

following shortcut key combinations:

   Demote Level: ALT+SHIFT+Right Arrow

ODBC Error: "Can't Open Unkeyed Paradox Table"

Article ID: Q109094

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you attach a Paradox table that does not contain a key field to your

Word for Windows document, the following Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)

error messages occur:

   Can't open unkeyed Paradox table.

and then

   Unable to open table: <TableName>.

Word then attaches the data source, and you can perform a print merge

operation, but you cannot set filters or perform sorting operations on the

data source.

CAUSE

=====

In Paradox version 3.5, you can designate a field as the key field (this is

similar to the functionality of Microsoft Access). If no key field is

designated in your Paradox table, the above errors occur.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. We are

researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Open the database in Paradox version 3.5 and assign a key to one of the

fields in your table.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Key Fields

----------

Key fields are used to identify records. While they are strictly optional,

a key gives you the following benefits:

1. Prevents duplicate values in the key field.

2. Keeps the table sorted according to the values in the field.

3. Creates a primary index on that field, which can speed queries and other

   operations.

You can change fields from keys to non-keys, or vice versa. The only

constraint is that all key fields must be grouped at the beginning of the

table in order of precedence. To change a non-key field to a key field,

move the field to the beginning of the table and add an asterisk (*) after

the field type. Conversely, to change a key field to a non-key field, move

it out of the key field area and erase the asterisk (*). If any existing

records have duplicate values in the new key fields, Paradox places them in

the temporary Keyviol table.

Keyed Table

-----------

If a table does not contain key fields, its records are kept and displayed

in the order in which they were originally entered. If the table contains

more than one key field, the records are sorted by the primary (first) key

field, then (if necessary) by the secondary (second) key field.

The Paradox products included here are manufactured by Borland, Inc.,

vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or

otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.

Pressing ENTER Doesn't Close InputBox$(), ASK, FILLIN Dialogs

Article ID: Q109096

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you type a response to an InputBox$(), ASK or FILLIN field prompt,

pressing either ENTER key (in Word for Windows) or the RETURN key (in Word

for the Macintosh) adds a new line to your response instead of closing the

window. In other words, the ENTER (Windows) and RETURN (Macintosh) keys do

not correspond to choosing the OK button.

This behavior can be especially confusing in Word for the Macintosh, in

which the OK button is selected as the default key.

CAUSE

=====

By design, the functionality of the ENTER keys (in Word for Windows) or the

RETURN key (in Word for Macintosh) is different for the InputBox$(), ASK

and FILLIN field dialog boxes than in earlier versions of Word. This makes

it easier to type multiple-line responses.

WORKAROUND

==========

Method 1: In Word 6.0 for Windows, press the TAB key to go from the text

          box to the OK button, then press ENTER. In Word 6.0 for the

          Macintosh, press the ENTER key on the numeric key pad, not the

          RETURN key.

Method 2: Use the mouse to click the OK button.

For information about macro workarounds to this functionality, query on the

following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   inputbox and closing and

MORE INFORMATION

================

when you press ENTER (in Word for Windows) in an InputBox$() dialog box,

Word inserts a newline character followed by a paragraph mark. When you

press RETURN (in Word for the Macintosh) in an InputBox$() dialog box, Word

inserts only a paragraph mark. For onine information on removing the

newline character in Word for Windows, do the following:

1. Double-click the Help button on the Standard toolbar and then type

   "wordbasic" (without the quotation marks). Choose the Show Topics

   button.

2. In the topics list, choose WordBasic Help, and choose the Go To button.

3. Select the Statements and Functions Index topic, choose the I button,

   and then select the InputBox$() topic.

Note: When you press ENTER in an ASK or FILLIN field dialog box, Word for

Windows inserts only a newline character (not a newline character followed

by a paragraph mark).

Using ToolsAdvancedSettings to View WINWORD6.INI and WIN.INI

Article ID: Q109158

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how you can use the ToolsAdvancedSettings macro

command to view Word for Windows entries in the WINWORD6.INI and WIN.INI

files.

The ToolsAdvancedSettings macro corresponds to the Win.ini category in the

Tools Options dialog box for Word versions 2.x for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The advantage of using the ToolsAdvancedSettings command instead of opening

the Tools Options dialog box and selecting the File Locations tab is that

the Tools Advanced Settings dialog box lists the actual setting instead of

simply describing it. For example, Word displays "DOC-PATH" in the Tools

Advanced Settings dialog box, whereas Word describes the DOC-PATH as

"Documents" under File Locations in the Tools Options dialog box.

Furthermore, you can only modify the listed settings in the Tools Options

dialog box, whereas you can use the ToolsAdvancedSettings command to add

any valid setting to the Word sections of your WINWORD6.INI or WIN.INI.

Use the following procedure to run the ToolsAdvancedSettings command:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

2. From the Macros Available In list, select Word Commands. From the Macro

   Name list, select ToolsAdvancedSettings and then choose the Run button.

3. In the Advanced Settings dialog box, select the WIN.INI or WINWORD6.INI

   section you want to modify or view from the Categories list.

Note: You can add the ToolsAdvancedSettings command to your Tools menu for

easy access. For online instructions, double-click the Help button on the

Standard toolbar. Then type "customize" (without the quotation marks).

Paste Linking Paradox for Windows 1.0 Data in Word 6.0

Article ID: Q109159

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c,

   6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Paradox 1.0 for Windows minimally supports dynamic data exchange (DDE),

thereby allowing Paste Linking of Paradox data into Word for Windows. When

you copy data from Paradox 1.0 and choose Paste Special from the Edit menu

in Word for Windows 2.0, the Paste Link option is available. By contrast,

in Word 6.0 for Windows the Paste Link option is not available (dimmed).

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

You can use the DDEAuto or DDE field in Word 6.0 for Windows to link to a

Paradox for Windows table, record, or field name. The syntax for the DDE

and DDEAuto field is as follows

   { DDE[Auto] AppName FileName [PlaceReference] }

where AppName is the DDE Application, FileName is the Topic, and

[PlaceReference] is the Topic Item.

The syntax for a DDE or DDEAuto link with Paradox 1.0 for Windows is

   { DDE[Auto] PDOXWIN :[Path_Alias]:[DB_Name] [Field_Name]or["_Table"]

   \* mergeformat \t }

where:

   PDOXWIN is the application name for Paradox used in DDE conversations.

   [Path_Alias] is the Alias name you can assign in Paradox to a directory

   path.

   [DB_TableName] is the name of the Paradox table filename (*.DB).

   ["_Table"] is the name of the Paradox table.

   [Field_Name] is the name of the field in the Paradox table.

For example, assuming the "C:\PUBLIC\DATA" directory has been given

the Paradox alias name "WORK", to link the field "Name" from the

table "CUSTOMER.DB" into a Word 6.0 document, do the following:

1. Place the insertion point in your Word document where you want the

   Paradox data to appear.

2. Press CTRL+F9 to insert the field braces.

3. Within the field braces, type the following:

      DDEAuto :WORK:CUSTOMER.DB NAME \*mergeformat \t

   The resultant field code should look like this:

      { DDEAuto :WORK:CUSTOMER.DB NAME \*mergeformat \t }

The \*mergeformat switch applies the formatting of the previous result to

the new result. It is not necessary but is used by default to retain

formatting when you Paste Link in Word.

MORE INFORMATION

================

You can use the DDEAuto or DDE field in Word 2.0 for Windows or Word 6.0

for Windows to link either a Paradox table field or a complete table. To

link to a complete Paradox table in Word 2.0 for Windows, choose Edit

Select All in Paradox, switch to Word, then perform a Paste Link. In Word

6.0 for Windows you can use the PlaceReference name "_TABLE" in a DDEAuto

or DDE field to link to the entire Paradox table. For example:

   { DDEAuto :WORK:CUSTOMER.DB "_TABLE" \*mergeformat \t }

It's also acceptable to eliminate the quotation marks around _TABLE:

   { DDEAuto :WORK:CUSTOMER.DB _TABLE \*mergeformat \t }

When you Paste Link a Paradox field into Word for Windows 2.0, or manually

create the DDEAuto field in Word 6.0 for Windows, the data reference is the

table field name and not the actual field data you selected. Thus, when you

change the focus in Paradox from one record to another record, the results

of the DDEAuto field code will change, displaying the new value for the

field in the current record. By contrast, Paste Linking a Microsoft Excel

spreadsheet cell in Word references a specific cell, the value of which

will be displayed in Word regardless of your focus in Microsoft Excel.

To temporarily disconnect the DDE link between Word and Paradox, uncheck

the Table | Notify On menu command in Paradox. This will prevent the

DDEAuto field results in Word from updating.

"Wrap to Window" View Option Disables Kerning on Screen

Article ID: Q109240

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you select the Wrap To Window option, Word for Windows does not display

font kerning adjustments on the screen. This is a display problem only;

kerned fonts print correctly even when the kerning does not display on the

screen. (To locate the Wrap To Window option, choose Options from the Tools

menu and select the View tab. The Wrap to Window option is available only

in normal view.)

The At and Ln measurements do not appear on the Status Bar when Wrap To

Window is selected.

STATUS

======

The Wrap to Window feature is designed to increase the speed that Word

displays fonts on the screen, so the disabling of advanced display features

such as font pair kerning is by design.

"Clock On Top" Interferes with Word Examples and Demos

Article ID: Q109244

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you set the Microsoft Windows Clock to appear on top of other windows,

it may interfere when you run one of the Word for Windows examples or

demonstrations (collectively referred to as "demos" in this article). For

instance, if a mouse click in a demo occurs over the Clock, the Clock may

become the active application window, thereby disrupting the Word demo.

CAUSE

=====

Any application that runs on top of a Word demo window can disrupt the demo

if the application lies over a location where a mouse click occurs. If you

reactivate the demo window, it continues running as usual, without

problems.

WORKAROUND

==========

The workaround depends on what portion of the Word demo is covered by the

Clock window. You can usually resume the demo by pressing ENTER several

times, or by choosing the Next or Close button in the demo (if either is

available). To avoid repeating the problem, after you exit the Examples And

Demos session, close the Clock or turn off the Always On Top option before

you restart.

The following is a specific workaround for the What's New demo:

What's New Demo

---------------

If you position the Clock over the line-drawing tool in the lower left

corner of the What's New demo, the Clock is activated about halfway through

the demo, and the background screen of the demo disappears. If you press

ENTER, the Clock enlarges, and the demo keys do not work. To resume the

demo, choose the Next button, or choose the Close button to exit the demo.

GP Fault After Sending Word Document as Email Attachment

Article ID: Q109273

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, version 3.11

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you attach a Word for Windows document and a file from another Windows-

based application to an electronic mail (email) message and then send it

when Microsoft At Work PC Fax is your default printer driver, the second

application (the one whose file is attached following the Word document)

may cause a general protection (GP) fault in one of the Microsoft At Work

PC Fax files. For example, the following GP fault may occur if you send an

email message that contains a Word document and a Windows Write .WRI file:

   Write caused a General Protection Fault in EFAXPUMP.DLL at 0001:59D2

Note: Microsoft At Work PC Fax is supplied with Windows for Workgroups 3.11

only.

CAUSE

=====

This error occurs only if Word is not running when you send the email

message and if the Word document is the first attachment to print when you

send the email message. If Word is already running in the background or if

you print the Word document second, no GP fault occurs.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. We are

researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use one of the following methods to avoid a GP fault when you send Word

documents as email attachments if Microsoft At Work PC Fax is the default

printer:

 - Make sure Word is already running in the background.

   -or-

 - Place the Word document after any other files you send as attachments in

   your email message. That is, send the Word document last.

Macro Halts When You Press ESC Key in Dynamic Dialog Box

Article ID: Q109274

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you press the ESC key during a user (or dynamic) dialog box definition

in a WordBasic macro, Word halts the macro and the following

error message occurs:

   WordBASIC: The macro was interrupted.

STATUS

======

This functionality is by design in Word.

RESOLUTION

==========

To prevent a macro from halting when you press ESC in a user dialog box,

you must trap the ESC key using the DisableInput statement.

Below is a macro that demonstrates the correct use of the DisableInput

statement.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

End Select

End Function

MORE INFORMATION

================

This use of the DisableInput statement conflicts with the information in

online Help for the DisableInput command and on page 340 of the "Microsoft

Word Developer's Kit." Both resources state that "DisableInput does not

affect the use of ESC for canceling a dialog box." This statement is not

true for dynamic (user) dialog boxes, for which DisableInput DOES prevent

the ESC key from interrupting the macro.

Error Unless a Custom Dialog Title Is Defined

Article ID: Q109291

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.0 and 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following error message may occur when you are working with a custom

dialog box:

     Word Basic Err=100. Syntax Error

CAUSE

=====

In Word 6.0 for Windows, a custom dialog with 1) horizontal and vertical

positions and 2) width and height definitions requires a title string

defined for the dialog box. The dialog box does not default to a "Microsoft

Word 6.0" title. This is contrary to the "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit"

and the WordBasic online help. Without the title string, a WordBasic syntax

error is displayed. This is the case only when width and height of the

dialog box are defined.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

--------------------------

The following example will give a syntax error when run:

 Sub Main

 Begin Dialog UserDialog 208, 107, 363, 160

  OKButton 39, 33, 88, 21

 End Dialog

 Dim dlg As UserDialog

 Dialog dlg

 End Sub

RESOLUTION

==========

To eliminate the syntax error, add a text string for the title of the

dialog box. The following macro is correct and will not produce an error

message.

 Sub Main

 Begin Dialog UserDialog 208, 107, 363, 160, "Title"

  OKButton 39, 33, 88, 21

 End Dialog

 Dim dlg As UserDialog

Grammar Readability Statistics Incorrectly Display

Article ID: Q109292

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Word grammar checker readability statistics dialog will

incorrectly display in a blank document, under certain conditions, when it

should not display at all.

If you open a new document in Word for Windows and run the grammar checker

with no text in the document, a dialog box will display that says:

   Grammar check complete

If you add text to the document by copying and pasting or by choosing File

from the Insert menu, delete the text, and run the grammar checker again,

the readability statistics dialog box will appear when it should not.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Linked and Embedded MSGraph Object's Appearances Differ

Article ID: Q109294

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.0 and 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

An MSGraph 3.0x object that has been copied from a Word 6.0 for Windows

document and linked to a client application will have extra white space on

the left and right sides of the object. An object that has been copied from

a Word 6.0 document and simply pasted into a client application will not

include this extra white space.

CAUSE

=====

When you select and copy an object from a document, Word maintains a

reference to the page width as part of the selection size of the object. If

you link the object to a client application, the page width is included as

a way to maintain the relative location of the link in Word. If you paste

the object with no link, the actual size of the object is used because

updating is not necessary.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

You can remove the white space from the linked object if the client

application has a feature for cropping the picture.

Dragging from Excel to a Protected Area in Word

Article ID: Q109295

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 5.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you drag an object from Excel 5.0 for Windows into Word 6.0 for

Windows, you can drop the object into a protected area of the document.

CAUSE

=====

As expected, you can drag an object from Excel into an unprotected area of

a Word document. However, if you drag the object from Excel into the

results of a field in a protected area, the object is inserted immediately

following the field. This can modify the protected area of a document.

AutoCorrect Limitations for Word 6.0 for Windows

Article ID: Q109296

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The AutoCorrect feature is a new feature in Word 6.0 for Windows that

automatically corrects common typing mistakes as you work. For example, if

you type "teh," AutoCorrect replaces it with "the" as soon as you press

SPACEBAR.

You can also use AutoCorrect to quickly insert words or phrases that are

long or difficult to type. For example, use AutoCorrect to automatically

replace "ASAP" with "as soon as possible." AutoCorrect entries are stored

in the NORMAL.DOT file.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The operating limits of the AutoCorrect feature are listed in the

following table.

   Feature                                  Limit

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   Maximum number of AutoCorrect entries    Limited to

                                            memory/hard disk

                                            space

   Maximum number of characters as a        255

   plain text entry

   Maximum number of characters as a        Unlimited

   formatted entry

   Maximum number of characters stored as   31

   Replace text

AutoCorrect entries are stored in an index file attached to the NORMAL.DOT

file, and use a minimum of 4 bytes per entry. Since the AutoCorrect feature

uses the 64K local memory heap allocated to Word, inserting large numbers

of AutoCorrect entries may result in an "Out of memory" error message. For

example, if you enter 7000 AutoCorrect entries you will use approximately

28K of memory, almost half the available local memory. This could also

result in other memory-related error messages because the local memory is

used by several other operations.

Compliance Checking During Setup of Word 6.0 Upgrade

Article ID: Q109412

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how Word verifies your eligibility to upgrade from a

earlier version of Word or another eligible word processing application.

This process, known as "compliance checking," confirms that you are using

Word 6.0 in compliance with applicable copyright laws.

At the end of this article there is a "Troubleshooting" section that

contains information about compliance checking problems when you install

Word 6.0 for the Macintosh over Word 5.1 for the Macintosh.

MORE INFORMATION

================

There are two levels of compliance checking: strict and lenient. Strict

compliance checking prevents you from installing the application if you

cannot verify your eligibility to upgrade. Lenient compliance checking

searches for or requests verification, but it does not prevent you from

installing the application if you do not provide appropriate verification.

The U.S. (domestic) edition of Word for Windows uses lenient compliance

checking, which means you can install Word even if you do not provide the

requested verification.

All international versions of Word 6.0 for Windows use strict compliance

checking. To upgrade an international version of Word, you must either have

Word installed, or have Disk 1 from the earlier version disk set.

Lenient Compliance Checking

---------------------------

When you install the Word 6.0 upgrade (U.S. edition), Setup searches your

system for a earlier version of Word or another eligible word processing

application. If Setup finds no eligible application, it requests that you

insert Disk 1 (the Setup disk) from an eligible word processing package.

You can either insert an appropriate disk or continue installing Word. If

you continue without providing an appropriate disk or hard disk location,

Setup displays another message to notify you that you have not provided

proper verification. If you again choose to continue without providing an

appropriate disk or hard disk location, Setup continues and no further

compliance checking messages appear.

For further information about new or updated Microsoft products, call the

Microsoft Sales Information Center at (800) 426-9400. If you are outside

the United States, contact the Microsoft subsidiary for your area. To

locate your subsidiary, call Microsoft International Customer Service at

(206) 936-8661.

TROUBLESHOOTING

===============

Sometimes when you install the U.S. edition of Word 6.0 for the Macintosh

over a previous installation of Word 5.1 for the Macintosh (U.S. edition),

Setup does not find your Word 5.1 installation. Setup prompts you to insert

Disk 1 from an eligible word processing package.

This may happen even though you have a valid installation of Word 5.1 on

your system. It can also happen if you removed Word 5.1 and then rebuilt

your Macintosh desktop.

In either case, to continue installing Word 6.0, choose the Cancel button

in the compliance-checking dialog boxes.

Word 6.0 THESIS1.DOT Template Not Based on Single Style Guide

Article ID: Q109528

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The THESIS1.DOT template, supplied with Word for Windows, is not based on

any single style guide. The template is based on a variety of standards

that make it a generic tool for producing academic manuscripts.

The thesis templates (DISSERT2.DOT and DISSERT.DOT) supplied with earlier

versions of Word are based on "A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses,

and Dissertations," Fifth edition, by Kate L. Turabian.

Note: Though the template is based on the Turabian publication, it is not

standardized to it.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Convert your Word 2.x DISSERT2.DOT template or your Word 1.x DISSERT.DOT

template for use with Word 6.0. For more information on using templates

from a previous version of Word, query on the following words in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Entering a Number in a Protected Form Field Produces Error

Article ID: Q109529

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following error message may occur in Word for Windows when you enter a

number in a protected Number FORM field:

   A valid number is required.

CAUSE

=====

If the International settings in Windows Control Panel are set for a

different country than the settings in effect when you inserted the FORM

field, Word does not accept your entry in a Number FORM field. Number FORM

fields recognize valid data from only one country at a time.

This does not happen with other fields.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: In Windows Control Panel, choose the International icon. In the

          Country box, select the same setting you used when you created

          the FORM field.

Method 2: If you want to use a different Country setting, delete and

          reinsert the Number FORM field in Word.

"Cannot Save or Create This File..." While Macro Is Running

Article ID: Q109530

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following error message may occur while a WordBasic macro is running

in

Word for Windows:

   Word cannot save or create this file. Make sure the disk is not

   write protected. <path><filename>

CAUSE

=====

If your macro saves a document while it prints with the Background

Background Printing option while a macro is running. (To locate the

Background Printing option, choose Options from the Tools menu and then

select the Print tab.)

If you choose OK in the error message dialog box, the macro continues.

When

the macro stops running, you can save your file without any problem.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To avoid this error message when your macro saves a document, use the

following syntax in your macro to turn off the Background Printing

option

when you print using the FilePrint command:

   FilePrint .Background = 0

Error Choosing Document from Menu to Open It

Article ID: Q109533

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Sometimes a document that you add to a menu does not open when you choose

it from the menu. Instead, the following error message appears:

   Word cannot open the document. (<current directory>\<filename>)

Note: To add a document to a menu so you can open that document by choosing

it from the menu, use the Customize command on the Tools menu or press

CTRL+ALT+= and then select the document in the File Open dialog box. For a

specific description of both procedures, see the "Workaround" section

below.

CAUSE

=====

When you add a document to a menu using the CTRL+ALT+= method (described in

the "Procedure 1: CTRL+ALT+= Method" section below), if you do not include

the entire path to the document in the File Name box, Word cannot find the

document when you choose it unless the file is located in the current

directory. For example, if you choose MY_FILE.DOC from the File menu, Word

cannot find MY_FILE.DOC if it is located in a directory other than the

current directory.

Note: The current directory is the one that appears above the Directories

list in the File Save As or File Open dialog box.

By contrast, this does not happen if you add the document to a menu using

the Customize command on the Tools menu (this procedure is described in the

"Procedure 2: Using the Customize Command" section below).

WORKAROUND

==========

To add a document to a menu so you can open that document by choosing it

from the menu regardless of the current directory, use either of the

following two procedures:

Procedure 1: CTRL+ALT+= Method

------------------------------

Note: This method adds the document only to the File menu. If you want to

add the document to a different menu, use Procedure 2.

1. Press CTRL+ALT+=. Notice that the mouse pointer changes to a plus sign

   (+).

2. From the File menu, choose Open.

3. In the File Name box, type the entire path (including the drive) to the

   document you want to add to the File menu.

   Important: It doesn't matter whether you select the location from the

   Drives and Directories lists. The critical factor is that the full path

   and document name appear in the File Name box.

4. Choose OK. Next time you open the File menu, the document name appears

   at the bottom of the menu, below the Recently Used File (MRU) list.

Procedure 2: Using the Customize Command

----------------------------------------

1. Open the document you want to add to a menu.

2. From the Tools menu, choose Customize.

3. Select the Menus tab.

4. From the Categories list, select File. From the Commands list, select

   "FileOpenFile:".

5. From the Change What Menu list, select the menu you want to add the

   document to. Change the Position On Menu, Name On Menu, and Save Changes

   In settings as necessary.

6. From the FileOpenFile list, select the name of the document you want to

   add to a menu (the FileOpenFile list contains the names of all the

   documents currently open in Word).

7. Choose the Add button, then choose the Close button.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Neither of the above methods appears in the printed or online

documentation for Word 6.0.

Cannot Set Custom Kerning Information for Character Pairs

Article ID: Q109534

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word for Windows uses the pair kerning information that is built into each

TrueType font. You cannot customize pair kerning information for a font in

Word.

Kerning settings vary from one TrueType font to another, but the following

are the most common kerning pairs:

   we              To

   We              ye

   yo              Ye

   Yo              wo

\p Switch Defined Incorrectly in Insert Field for TOC

Article ID: Q109564

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.0 and 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Word for Windows shows the wrong description for the \p switch. If you

select Fields from the Insert menu, choose TOC from Field Names, choose

Options, and select \p, the following description is shown:

   \p Defines the separator between the sequence value and the page number.

This is actually the same as the description given for the \d switch.

The correct description is found in Help, which lists the following:

   \p Specifies the separator character used between a table entry and its

      page number. For example, the field {toc \p "---"} displays a result

      such as "Selecting Text---53." The default is a tab with leader dots.

Cannot Change Directories to a UNC Path

Article ID: Q109565

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.0 and 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOM

=======

When you use the CHDIR command to a UNC-named path, Word for Windows will

not change to that directory.

CAUSE

=====

The CHDIR command does not recognize "\\<networkname>\<share>\<directory>"

as a valid directory, even though Word for Windows does support UNC paths

in the WINWORD6.INI and WIN.INI files.

RESOLUTION

==========

Specify a drive letter in the macro. The macro below will list the first

file in the WINWORD directory on drive F:

Error with Blank ASK or FILLIN Fields on Merge

Article ID: Q109566

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If the result of an ASK or FILLIN field is blank, the following error

message may appear when you use a REF field to recall the ASK or FILLIN

field:

   Error! reference source not found

If you refer to the blank ASK or FILLIN field with a bookmark name, the

following error will appear:

   Error! bookmark not defined

Additionally, if the result of the field is blank during a Mail Merge

operation, the following message will appear as each record with blank

results is merged:

   A field calculation error occurred in record X

There is no context-sensitive help for this error message.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed the missing context-sensitive help to be a problem

in Word 6.0. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To avoid either of these errors, force the field to evaluate to a space by

either typing a space in the dialog box when prompted or by setting the

field default as follows

   {Ask Answer "Question" \d " "}

where the \d switch sets the default result for a field.

An alternative workaround is to select the field and reapply the bookmark

to the field. The \d switch isn't necessary.

The bookmark that Word applies to the ASK field is placed at the end of the

field and looks like "][" when the bookmarks are visible. For example, the

formula

   {ASK bookmark "question"}

would look like:

   {ASK bookmark "question" ][}

To correct it, select the field and reapply the bookmark. When you are

finished, the bookmark will look like:

   [{ASK bookmark "question" }]

How to Tell If ODBC Is Installed Correctly

Article ID: Q109567

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word for Windows uses the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) drivers to

access data from database management system files. The ODBC drivers are

installed during a Complete setup of Word 6.0 for Windows. To verify that

the ODBC drivers have been installed, attach a database data file to a main

document with Confirm Conversions turned on. If the drivers are installed,

the following will appear in the Confirm Data Source dialog box:

   <Database name> via ODBC.

If the ODBC drivers and ODBC driver manager have been properly installed by

Word 6.0 for Windows, an icon for ODBC will appear in the Windows Control

Panel. If you choose this icon, the Data Sources dialog box appears, which

should list the following data sources:

   dBASE Files (dBASE Files (*.dbf))

   FoxPro Files (FoxPro Files (*.dbf))

   MS Access Databases (Access Data (*.mdb))

   Paradox Files (Paradox Files (*.db))

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following are the files required to run ODBC:

   ODBC.DLL

   ODBCINST.DLL

   ODBC.INF

   SIMBA.DLL

   SIMADMIN.DLL

   MSJETDSP.DLL

The ODBC Installation Help file, ODBCINST.HLP is not required.

The following are ODBC drivers shipped with Word 6 for Windows:

   DRIVER                APPLICATION

   ------                -----------

   XBS110.DLL            dBASE and Fox driver

   RED110.DLL            Access driver

   PDX110.DLL            Paradox driver

To Install ODBC

---------------

1. Run Setup for Word 6.0 or 6.0a for Windows.

1. Choose Add/Remove.

2. Choose Conversions/Filters and Data Access.

3. Select Data Access ODBC.

To Configure ODBC to Work with Word 6.0

---------------------------------------

Once ODBC is installed, the drivers must appear in the ODBC Administrator

in Windows Control Panel. To set up an ODBC Data Source, do the following:

1. Run Windows Control Panel and choose the ODBC icon.

2. If the Data Source is not on the list, choose Add.

3. From the Installed ODBC Drivers list, select a driver, and choose OK.

4. Type in a descriptive Data Source Name--this can be any text--and then

   choose OK.

5. Select Use Current Directory and choose OK.

Updating DATABASE Field May Change Results

Article ID: Q109569

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The contents of a DATABASE field may change when you re-sort (update) by

the same criteria if the data types in one column are not consistent.

CAUSE

=====

Word will use the first entry in a field (column) to determine what data

type is in that field. If a column contains different data types, the

sort

order will vary if the first element is numeric, text, or date.

For example, the following database will have these three results when

sorted:

   Original        First sort:      Second sort:      Third sort:

                   numeric          alphabetic        date

SUMMARY

=======

This article explains how to automatically number chapters and to use those

chapter numbers in numbering pages, tables of contents, and indexes without

the chapter numbers appearing in the text.

For example, the first chapter begins like this

   Introduction to Cooking

and you want this in the header

   Page 1-1

and this in the table of contents:

   Introduction to Cooking................1-1

   Cooking Basics.........................2-8

Ordinarily, to get the header and the table of contents to use the chapter

number, you must also show the chapter number in the text, as in the

following:

   Chapter One         Introduction to Cooking

You can modify the Heading 1 style to be hidden text and format a blank

paragraph at the beginning of each chapter with this style. Heading 1 style

must be used, as it is the only heading style that Word will give a chapter

number to.

NOTE: This method assumes you are not using the Heading 1 style anywhere in

the document. If you are using Heading styles, they must all be changed to

the next level.

TIP: If you are going to make a lot of changes, start with the highest-

numbered heading style first. If the highest heading level used is Heading

7, change the Heading 7 paragraphs to Heading 8, then change Heading 6

paragraphs to Heading 7, and so on. This is the least confusing way to

change the styles of the paragraphs.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Prepare the Document

--------------------

 1. At the beginning of the chapter, insert a blank paragraph.

 2. Format the paragraph with the Heading 1 style.

 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 at the beginning of each chapter.

Prepare the Style

-----------------

 1. From the Format menu, choose Style.

 2. Select the Heading 1 style and choose the Modify button.

 3. Choose the Format button and select Numbering.

 4. Choose the Numbering style you want to use. (If you have already

    chosen a numbering style in the document, this will be preselected.)

 5. Choose OK.

 6. Choose the Format button and select Font.

 7. Select the Hidden box (that is, put an "X" in the box).

 8. Choose OK.

 9. Choose OK again.

10. Choose the Close button.

The blank paragraphs you inserted at the beginning of each chapter will

disappear, since they are now formatted as hidden text. Word now knows

where each chapter begins, and what number to assign to each chapter.

To insert chapter-page numbers in the header or footer

------------------------------------------------------

1. From the Insert menu, choose Page Numbers.

2. In the Position list, choose the location for the page numbers.

3. Choose the Format button.

4. Select the Include Chapter Number button.

5. In the "Chapter Starts with Style" list, choose Heading 1.

6. Select Start At, and choose "1" from the list.

7. Choose OK.

Chapter and page numbers now appear in the header or footer.

Because page numbers now include the chapter number, they will be included

automatically when you insert the index and table of contents.

To insert the table of contents and index, follow the usual steps.

WordBasic Error #24 Using LoadSavePictures Macro in Word 6.0

Article ID: Q109682

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run the LoadSavePictures macro that shipped with Word 2.0c for

Windows under Word 6.0 for Windows, you may receive a WordBasic Error #24,

"Bad Parameter."

MORE INFORMATION

================

The LoadSavePictures macro was created by Microsoft Product Support

Services (PSS) to alleviate a problem that occurs when you insert graphics

into a large Word 2.0 document. LoadSavePictures allowed you to insert a

graphic into a document as a linked field, then run the LoadSavePictures

macro "Compress" option prior to saving the document to reduce the overall

file size. After reopening the document, you could then run the

LoadSavePictures macro to "Restore" the pictures in the document.

If the LoadSavePictures macro is used in Word 6.0 for Windows to "Restore"

previously compressed pictures, a WordBasic error occurs.

RESOLUTION

==========

You can change the LoadSavePictures macro code to correct this problem.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

1. From the Tools menu, choose Macro, select the LoadSavePictures macro

   from the Macro Name list box, and choose the Edit button.

2. With your insertion point in the macro editing window, choose Find from

   the Edit menu, specify "While loc <> 0" (without the quotation marks) in

   the Find What box, and choose OK.

3. The first found text should be contained in a group of command

   lines as follows:

      While loc <> 0

         nextloc = InStr(loc + 1, a$, "#")

         f$(n) = Mid$(a$, loc + 1, nextloc - loc - 1)

         Print f$(n)

         loc = nextloc

         n = n + 1

      Wend

   Add error trapping statements before and after this set of commands so

   the above lines look like this:

      On Error Resume Next

      While loc <> 0

         nextloc = InStr(loc + 1, a$, "#")

         f$(n) = Mid$(a$, loc + 1, nextloc - loc - 1)

         Print f$(n)

         loc = nextloc

         n = n + 1

      Wend

      On Error Goto ExitRestoreOldPictures

4. Press SHIFT+F4 to locate the next instance of the Find What text.

   This should be:

      While loc <> 0

        nextloc = InStr(loc + 1, a$, "#")

        f$(n) = Mid$(a$, loc + 1, nextloc - loc - 1)

        loc = nextloc

        n = n + 1

      Wend

      InsertField fn$    'reinsert it as a field

   Add error trapping statements before and after this set of commands so

   the above lines look like this:

      On Error Resume Next

      While loc <> 0

         nextloc = InStr(loc + 1, a$, ""#"")

         f$(n) = Mid$(a$, loc + 1, nextloc - loc - 1)

         loc = nextloc

         n = n + 1

      Wend

      On Error Goto ExitRestorePictures

Note: Word 6.0 for Windows includes a "Save Picture in Document" option in

the Insert Picture dialog box that, when not selected, alleviates the

problem of large file sizes when you include pictures in documents.

Catalog Mail Merge Does Not Include Header/Footer

Article ID: Q109684

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you Mail Merge a catalog, the merged document will not contain the

header/footer included in the main document.

CAUSE

=====

Header/footer information is stored in section breaks. The last paragraph

mark in a document is an implied section break and contains the

header/footer information for the last section in the document. The default

section setting for this section is Next Page.

To merge to the catalog format, the last paragraph mark is removed during

the merge so Word merges as if the section is Continuous, resulting in

multiple records per page rather than one record per page. Since the

paragraph mark is removed during the merge process, so is the header/footer

information.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows and Word version 6.0 for the Macinthosh. We are researching

this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge

Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Enter the mergefields into the main document, format the section as

Continuous, then insert a Continuous section break just before the very

last paragraph mark. Place your insertion point above the section break and

set up the headers/footers.

assumed). AppWindowPosLeft allows you to change the horizontal position of

a window or icon without affecting its vertical position (unlike AppMove).

The AppWindowPosLeft() function returns the horizontal position of an

application window or icon, in points. For argument descriptions, see

AppMove.

 Sub MAIN

  state = AppMaximize()

  If state = - 1 Then AppRestore

   x = AppWindowPosLeft()

   MsgBox "The distance from the left is: " + Str$(x)

   AppWindowPosLeft x + 100

   MsgBox "The distance from the left is: " + Str$(x +100)

 End Sub

AppWindowPosTop, AppWindowPosTop()

==================================

Syntax

------

AppWindowPosTop [WindowName$,] VertPos

AppWindowPosTop([WindowName$])

Example

-------

The AppWindowPosTop statement moves an application window or icon to a

vertical position specified in points (if WindowName$ is omitted, Word is

assumed). AppWindowPosTop allows you to change the vertical position of a

window or icon without affecting its horizontal position (unlike AppMove).

The AppWindowPosTop() function returns the vertical position of an

application window or icon, in points. For argument descriptions, see

AppMove.

 Sub MAIN

  x = 0

  state = AppMaximize()

  If state = - 1 Then AppRestore

   x = AppWindowPosTop()

   MsgBox "The distance from the top is: " + Str$(x)

   AppWindowPosTop x + 100

   MsgBox "The distance from the top is: " + Str$(x + 100)

 End Sub

AppWindowWidth, AppWindowWidth()

================================

Syntax

------

AppWindowWidth [WindowName$,] Width

Word 6.0 Fields Include Spaces at Beginning and End

Article ID: Q109831

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0, any fields inserted from menus or with the CTRL+F9 key

combination include a space at the beginning and a space at the end.

Previous versions of Word do not include these extra spaces.

This may present a problem if a macro written for a previous version of

Word searches for a field code using ^19fieldname. Such searches will not

find any matching fields created in version 6.0.

RESOLUTION

==========

To find fields created in Word 6.0, the search must be modified to include

a space between ^19 and the field name.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The extra spaces are provided for ease of reading the contents of the

field.

How to Manually Decompress Word 6.0 for Windows Files

Article ID: Q109832

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Page 12 of the Microsoft Word 6.0 for Windows "Quick Results" guide

incorrectly states that you can run DECOMP without specifying the

destination filename. To manually decompress Word 6.0 for Windows files

from the floppy disks, you must specify both the source filename and the

destination filename. With previous versions of Word for Windows, only the

source filename was necessary.

For example, to decompress the file UNIDRV.DL_ from the Word 6.0 for

Windows disks, the simple command syntax is:

   decomp unidrv.dl_ unidrv.dll

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word 6.0 for Windows files are shipped in a compressed format that requires

the program DECOMP.EXE to decompress them. Setup will use DECOMP.EXE to

automatically decompress the files with the appropriate destination

filenames.

To manually decompress these files, you must run the program DECOMP.EXE

located on Disk 1. When you run DECOMP.EXE specifying only the source

filename, DECOMP.EXE will read the header of the compressed file to

determine the destination filename. If no destination filename is found in

the header, DECOMP.EXE uses the source filename as the destination

filename. For example, if you run the following command

   decomp unidrv.dl_

you will receive the following message:

   Warning -- the file 'unidrv.dl_' already exists.

   Should I append to that file? Yes or No?

DECOMP attempts to decompress "unidrv.dl_" to the destination file

"unidrv.dl_" which is also the source file. To prevent DECOMP from

appending the decompressed file information to the compressed source file,

and thereby corrupting the source file, respond "N" for No.

You are then prompted a second time:

   Should I try to overwrite it? Yes or No?

Respond "N" for No.

To properly decompress the UNIDRV.DL_ file, run the following command:

   decomp unidrv.dl_  unidrv.dll

Earlier versions of Word for Windows shipped with compressed files that

contained the destination filename in the compressed file header. It was

not necessary to specify the destination filename to decompress these

files.

You can specify command arguments when you use DECOMP to vary the way files

are decompressed. For example, you can specify the source and destination

paths for the above files:

   decomp a:\unidrv.dl_ c:\windows\system\unidrv.dll

The following is the command syntax and argument descriptions for DECOMP:

   decomp [-afq] <srcArg> [<destArg>]

Argument

or Switch      Description

---------      -----------

  -a           Appends to the destination file, if it exists.

  -f           Overwrites destination file, if it exists (files

               cannot be decompressed in place).

  -q           Calculates and displays size of uncompressed file

               (does not decompress the file).

  <srcArg>     Specific file or wildcard pattern. Either can be

               preceded by a path.

  <destArg>    (Optional.) Specific file or directory. If <destArg> is

               a directory or omitted, DECOMP generates the

               destination filename using information in the source file

               header. (If the information is missing from the source

               file header, DECOMP uses the source filename itself.)

Note: Decompressing Word 6.0 for Windows files requires version 1.2 of

DECOMP.EXE. For more information, query on the following words in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   decomp and  and algorithm

Footnote Reference Contains Trailing Space

Article ID: Q109834

--------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you insert a footnote in a Word for Windows document using AutoNumber

numbering, the footnote reference number contains a trailing space which

you cannot delete.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. This

problem was corrected in version 6.0a of Word for Windows. Word 6.0a

inserts the white space as a regular SPACE character to the right of the

footnote reference mark, which means you can edit or remove it if you

want.

For information on obtaining Word 6.0a, see the "How To Obtain Word 6.0a"

section at the bottom of this article.

How to Obtain the Word 6.0a Patch

---------------------------------

MailMergeReset Generates WordBasic Error 509

Article ID: Q109835

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0, the WordBasic macro command MailMergeReset generates the

following error message when executed in a document that is not formatted

for a mail merge:

   Word Basic Err = 509

CAUSE

=====

The MailMergeReset command is not available because the document is

not a valid mail merge main document.

RESOLUTION

==========

Use the MailMergeState() command as demonstrated in the following macro to

determine if the current document is a mail merge main document, then run

the MailMergeRest command based on the results.

 Sub MAIN

  Select Case MailMergeState(0)

   Case 0

    MsgBox "Not a mail merge main document."

   Case 2

    MsgBox "Is a mail merge main document"

    MailMergeReset

   Case Else

  End Select

 End Sub

MORE INFORMATION

================

This behavior is different from that of Word 2.0. The Word 2.0 macro

language allows the command FilePrintMergeReset to run in a normal document

without generating any error messages. Word 6.0 converts the

FilePrintMergeReset command to MailMergeReset.

Macro to Check for Multiple Instances of Word

Article ID: Q109836

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.0 and 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You start Word when another instance of Word is already running, but you

get no message to that effect.

CAUSE

=====

Word for Windows version 6.0 requires that SHARE.EXE has been started

before starting Word. One side effect of having MS-DOS SHARE.EXE or any

Microsoft Windows sharing utility started is that multiple instances of the

same program can be run at the same time. You cannot configure Word to

prevent this from occurring.

RESOLUTION

==========

The follow macro, when named AUTOEXEC, will check to see if any other

instances of Word are running and if so, will then give you the option of

closing one instance or allowing a new instance.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT

YOUR OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without

warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not

limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness

for a particular purpose.

1. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

2. In the Macro Name text box type "AUTOEXEC" (without the quotation

   marks.)

3. Be sure the Macros Available In List Box displays NORMAL.DOT.

4. Choose the Create button.

5. Type the following macro:

    Sub MAIN

     On Error Goto bye

     Dim ListBox1$(1)

     count = 0

     Text$ = "There is currently another instance of Word for Windows \

      running. Please choose the instance you wish to close or choose \

      Cancel to run both instances."

     size = AppCount() - 1

     Dim winnames$(size)

     AppGetNames winnames$()

     For i = 0 To size

      If InStr(1, winnames$(i), "Microsoft Word") Then

       count = count + 1

       ListBox1$(count - 1) = winnames$(i)

      End If

      If count > 1 Then

       Begin Dialog UserDialog 322, 174, "Microsoft Word"

        OKButton 222, 121, 88, 21

        CancelButton 222, 147, 88, 21

        ListBox 10, 70, 300, 45, ListBox1$(), .ListBox1

        Text 10, 6, 300, 60, text$, .Text1

       End Dialog

       Dim dlg As UserDialog

       If Dialog(dlg) = - 1 Then

        AppClose(ListBox1$(dlg.ListBox1))

       End If

       i = size

      End If

     Next

     bye:

    End SUB

Note: In the macro above the continuation character "\" is not necessary if

the text is typed without a carraige return at the end of the line.

6. From the File menu, choose Save All, and choose Yes when prompted to

   save changes to the AUTOEXEC macro.

7. Exit Word.

To test the macro, restart Word and from the Program Manager start a second

instance of Word. You should receive a dialog box stating there are two

instances of Word for Windows running. It will allow you to 1) choose one

instance to close, or 2) choose Cancel to allow both applications to run

simultaneously.

Envelope Prints Incorrectly on Panasonic KX-P4455 V.51.4

Article ID: Q109867

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When printing an envelope from Word 6.0 for Windows to a Panasonic KX-

P4455 V.51.4 printer, the envelope may print incorrectly. The delivery or

return address may print in the wrong position, or the return address may

print directly above the delivery address.

RESOLUTION

==========

Install the HP LaserJet IID PostScript printer driver and change the

envelope feed method from center feed to right feed to match the envelope

feed method of the Panasonic printer by following these steps:

1. Install the HP LaserJet IID PostScript printer driver in the Windows

   Control Panel and make it the default printer.

2. Start Word 6.0.

3. From the Tools menu, choose Envelopes And Labels.

4. Choose the Options button.

5. Select the Printing Options tab.

6. Under Feed Method, select the right feed icon.

7. Under Feed From, select Envelope.

8. Choose OK to return to the previous dialog box.

9. Choose the Print button to print the envelope.

The envelope should now print correctly.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as

it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Setting printer heuristics by using the SetPrintFlags macro changes the way

the envelope prints, but no combination of heuristics allows you to

correctly print the envelope using the Panasonic printer driver.

The HP IID PostScript driver, because of the dual-bin setup of the HP IID,

most closely resembles the dual-bin setup of the Panasonic printer.

The Panasonic products included here are manufactured by Panasonic, a

vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,

regarding these products' performance or reliability.

Envelope Address Positions Don't Stay Between Documents

Article ID: Q109868

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you modify the envelope delivery or return address by changing the From

Left or From Top settings in the Envelope Options dialog box, the change

you make will not be retained between documents.

To locate the From Left and From Top settings, choose Envelopes And Labels

from the Tools menu, select the Envelopes tab, and then choose the Options

button.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

To make a permanent change to an envelope address position, you must modify

the Envelope Address or Envelope Return style by performing the following

steps:

1. From the Format menu, choose Style.

2. In the List box, select All Styles.

3. In the Style box, select Envelope Address (or Envelope Return).

4. Choose the Modify button.

5. To make the change permanent, choose the Add To Template check box.

6. Choose the Format button and choose Frame from the list that appears.

7. Under Horizontal, change the Position setting to a numeric distance from

   the margin by typing in a number.

   For example, if you want your delivery address to be positioned 1 inch

   to the right of the margin, type 1.0 in the Horizontal Position box.

8. Under Vertical, change the Position setting to a numeric distance from

   the top margin by typing in a number.

   For example, if you want the delivery position to be positioned 3 inches

   down from the top margin, type 3.0 in the Vertical Position box.

9. Choose OK twice and then choose Close to exit the dialog boxes.

If you now choose Envelopes And Labels from the Tools menu and choose the

Options button, the From Top and From Left settings will be the settings

you specified.

By following these steps, you are applying a frame to the delivery or

return address. Modifying the style by applying only indents to the style

does not allow your changes to be retained between documents.

Word Mail Commands Missing Under Windows for Workgroups 3.11

Article ID: Q109869

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, version 3.11

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run Word for Windows under Windows for Workgroups version 3.11,

the electronic mail commands may be missing in Word. (Mail commands include

the Send and Add Routing Slip commands on the File menu and the Merge To

Electronic Mail selection in the mail merge helper.)

CAUSE

=====

When you install Windows for Workgroups version 3.11, Setup does not add

the following lines to your WIN.INI file:

   [Mail]

   MAPI=1

Word 6.0 enables electronic mail functionality only if it finds the above

WIN.INI entry, so if you run Word before you run Microsoft Mail for the

first time, the electronic mail commands will be missing in Word.

The above WIN.INI setting will be missing until you start Microsoft Mail

for the first time. (Microsoft Mail adds this setting to your WIN.INI the

first time you run it.) As a result, the electronic mail commands are

missing in Word only if you start Word before you run Microsoft Mail for

the first time. (This might happen after you install Windows for Workgroups

on your computer for the first time.)

WORKAROUND

==========

Exit Word, start Microsoft Mail, then restart Word. The Mail commands

should now appear in Word as expected.

-or-

Add MAPI=1 to the [MAIL] section of the WIN.INI file and restart Windows.

-or-

Delete MAPI=1 in the [MAIL] section of the WIN.INI. Save the WIN.INI and

exit Windows. Use a text editor to add MAPI=1 to the [MAIL] section of the

WIN.INI and restart Windows.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Undocumented Settings for WINWORD6.INI, WIN.INI, EQNEDIT.INI

Article ID: Q109870

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The following .INI settings are not documented in the Word 6.0 for Windows

WDREADME.HLP file:

WINWORD6.INI

============

[Microsoft Word]

NoLongNetNames=yes/no    Disables UNC filename support. The default is No.

OLEDOT=<templatename>    Sets the template that Word will use on new

                         Word document objects.

WIN.INI

=======

[MAIL]

MAPIDLL=<pathname>       Sets the MAPI DLL for mail support to

                         anything other than the default. Used for VIM

                         support with the MAPIVIM.DLL file. <Pathname>

                         must point to the MAPI messaging DLL.

EQNEDIT.INI

===========

[General]

ForceOpen=1/0            Sets in-place or open edit mode. Setting to 1

                         forces Equation Editor to always start in

                         Open mode for editing. The default is 0.

Note: Equation Editor 2.0 online Help (EQNEDIT.HLP) incorrectly states that

the ForceOpen setting is in the WIN.INI. This is not true; the ForceOpen

setting is located in the EQNEDIT.INI file, as stated here.

Tabs Dialog Does Not Appear in Mail Label Setup

Article ID: Q109881

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word, if you click the right mouse button to open the shortcut menu in

the Create Labels dialog box (which displays while you create mailing

labels using the Mail Merge Helper), choose Paragraph from the shortcut

menu, and then choose the Tabs button, the Tabs dialog box does not appear.

Note: For instructions on displaying the Create Labels dialog box, see the

"More Information" section below in this article.

CAUSE

=====

Word opens the Tabs dialog box but fails to activate it, so it is behind

the other dialog boxes that are already open on the screen (namely the

Create Labels and Mail Merge Helper dialog boxes). As a result, you cannot

see it. The Tabs dialog box appears when you close the Create Labels and

Mail Merge Helper dialog boxes.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you need to apply Tabs formatting to your mailing labels, do it after

you complete the layout of your mailing labels page. Select your mailing

labels document, then choose Tabs from the Format menu.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To open the Create Labels dialog box, create a new Word document and then

do the following:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Mail Merge.

2. In the Mail Merge Helper dialog box, choose the Create button. From

   the list that appears, select Mailing Labels.

3. Choose the Active Window button.

4. In the Mail Merge Helper dialog box, choose the Get Data button.

   From the list that appears, select Open Data Source. Select a data

   file and then choose OK.

5. In the dialog box that appears, choose the Set Up Main Document

   button.

6. In the Label Options dialog box, select a Product Number and then choose

   OK. The Create Labels dialog box appears. If you click the right mouse

   button (CTRL+right mouse button on the Macintosh), choose Paragraph from

   the list that appears, and then choose the Tabs button, the Format

   Paragraph dialog box disappears, and the Tabs dialog box does not

   appear. If you close the Create Labels dialog box and then close the

   Mail Merge Helper dialog box, the Tabs dialog box appears (it was behind

   the Mail Merge Helper dialog box).

Envelope Print Merge Fails to Omit Return Address

Article ID: Q109882

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If the Return Address Omit option is selected in the Envelopes And Labels

dialog box, and you are performing a print merge to envelopes, the return

address is still included. (To locate the Return Address Omit option,

choose Envelopes And Labels from the Tools menu, and select the Envelopes

tab.)

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0. We are

researching this problem and will post new information here

in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

To remove the return address for all subsequent envelopes, regardless of

the creation method:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2. Select the User Info tab.

3. Clear the Mailing Address box and choose OK.

You can now perform the print merge without printing the return address.

To remove the return address for the current print merge only, follow the

steps for setting up a print merge envelope, but before performing the

print merge, edit the main document by selecting the return address and

deleting it. Continue with the print merge as usual.

Alternatively, you can set the return address font color to White without

having to delete your Mailing Address or edit the merge document. To change

the return address font color:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Envelopes And Labels.

2. Choose Envelopes.

3. Choose Options.

4. Choose Return Address Font.

5. Select White for the font color.

6. Choose OK twice.

Automatic Envelope Return Address/Graphic Using AutoText

Article ID: Q109969

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

There are two AutoText entries you can use to add additional information to

an envelope. EnvelopeExtra1 and EnvelopeExtra2 can be helpful for

automatically including a company logo or other object or text to the

return address on each envelope.

EnvelopeExtra1 and EnvelopeExtra2 always precede the address entered in the

Envelope And Labels dialog box. EnvelopeExtra2 will precede EnvelopeExtra1

on the envelope if both are used.

You can add AutoText entries to the NORMAL template to affect all

documents.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When you use AutoText entries, several problems may occur:

 - Text doesn't appear next to graphic but wraps under it.

   -------------------------------------------------------

   Workaround

   ----------

   If the text comes from the EnvelopeExtra1 AutoText entry, place the text

   into a picture. Use the following procedure to accomplish this:

   1. Select the address in the document, and from the Edit menu, choose

      Copy.

   2. From the drawing toolbar, choose the Create Picture button. (The

      button contains a picture of a mountain and a sun.) If the Drawing

      toolbar isn't displayed, choose Toolbars from the View menu, and

      select Drawing.

   3. From the Edit menu, choose Paste.

   4. Choose the Close Picture button.

   5. Crop the sides of the picture to include only the address by clicking

      the object once, holding the SHIFT key down, and dragging the object

      handles toward the center of the object.

   6. While the object is selected, choose AutoText from the Edit menu.

   7. Type the entry name (that is, EnvelopeExtra1 or EnvelopeExtra2) and

      choose the Add button.

   If the text is entered from the Envelope And Labels dialog box, you may

   need to place a frame on the graphic and redefine the AutoText entry:

   1. Insert the graphic into a document by choosing Picture from the

      Insert menu, and selecting the graphic file; or, if the AutoText

      entry has been created, choose AutoText from the Edit menu and select

      EnvelopeExtra1 (or EnvelopeExtra2) from the list.

   2. Select the object, and choose Frame from the Insert menu.

   3. From the Edit menu, choose AutoText and select EnvelopeExtra1 (or

      EnvelopeExtra2.)

   4. Choose the Add button and when asked if you want to redefine the

      entry, choose Yes.

 - The text appears to the right of the recipient's address.

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   Workaround

   ----------

   Clear any text in the Envelopes And Labels dialog box or remove text

   from the user's Mailing Address:

   1. From the Tools menu, choose Envelopes And Labels and select the

      Envelopes tab.

   2. Clear the Omit check box.

   -or

   1. From the Tools menu, choose Options and select the User Info tab.

   2. Delete the text in the Mailing Address text box and choose OK.

To prevent Word from using the AutoText entries, EnvelopeExtra1 and

EnvelopeExtra2, rename them prior to printing the envelope.

Merge Revisions Operation Stops at Inserted Picture

Article ID: Q109970

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you merge a document that contains marked revisions into the original

document, Word for Windows may stop merging the revisions if it encounters

a modified picture or modified embedded graphics object. When this happens,

Word displays the following error message:

   The merged documents contain unmarked revisions.

   Do you want to merge up to the first unmarked revision?

For example, if you review a copy of a document with revision marking

turned on and edit a picture in the document, the above error message may

occur when you later merge your revisions into the original document.

This error message occurs even if neither document contains any unmarked

revisions.

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b,

   6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

 - The following error message may occur in Word for Windows when you

   attempt to save a file:

      Word cannot save or create this file. Make sure the disk is not

      write protected. <path><filename>

 - The following error messages may occur when you attempt to open a second

   or third file in Word

      File is in use by another user. <path><filename>

   followed by:

      Cannot open document.

 - One of the following errors message may occur when you open a file based

   on a template with a standalone (not a network ) installation of Word:

      Word cannot open the document.

      Error: "<path>\filename is being used by another user.

      Do you want to make a copy?"

Word Version 2.x

----------------

 - The following error message may occur if you modify NORMAL.DOT and

   attempt to save the file:

      You cannot save while the file is in use by another process.

      Try saving the file with a new name.

   The file cannot be saved, even to a new name.

CAUSE

=====

If any LOADHIGH commands exist for SHARE, Word Setup will retain all those

LOADHIGH commands when it writes the new SHARE line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT

file. In doing so, the /L:500 /F:5100 switches may not load if there is not

enough room in the upper memory area. No error will occur when the machine

is started, but Word will give one of the errors listed above.

RESOLUTION

==========

Method 1: Remove the LOADHIGH commands and rerun Optimize or MemMaker.

Method 2: If you are using Word 6.0a and operating Windows in the 386

          Enhanced mode, VSHARE.386 replaces the need to load the MS-DOS

          SHARE utility.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word uses the SHARE.EXE program for object linking and embedding (OLE )

version 2.0 operations. SHARE.EXE provides the range-locking functionality

that Word uses in compound files.

Problems Opening or Locating Files Using UNC Path

Article ID: Q109972

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If there is a space in the universal naming convention (UNC) path, any of

the following problems may occur in Word for Windows:

1. Find File Command

   When you choose File Find from the File menu, Word finds no files, even

   though the files actually exist in the location indicated. You can view

   the files in Windows File Manager, and you can open the files in Word.

2. INCLUDE or INCLUDETEXT Fields

   The result of an INCLUDE or INCLUDETEXT field is "Error! Not a valid

   filename."

3. Modify Location Dialog Box

   The following error message occurs when you select a directory on a UNC

   drive that contains a space in the Modify Location dialog box:

      Not a valid directory.

   (Note: To open the Modify Location dialog box, choose Options from the

   Tools menu, select the File Locations tab, and then choose the Modify

   button.)

4. Attaching data source to mail merge main document.

   No error message occurs, but the data file does not appear in the

   Mail Merge Helper dialog box.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Remove any spaces from the UNC path.

Method 2: Add the NoLongNetNames=yes setting to the [Microsoft Word]

          section of the WINWORD6.INI file. This setting instructs Word

          to always use the logical drive letter instead of the UNC path.

          For more information about the NoLongNetNames setting, query on

          the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

             NoLongNetNames and

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word uses the UNC path whenever possible. A space in the UNC path may not

cause a problem in other Word commands, even when one of the other problems

occurs.

WordBasic Error 123 When Using 2.x Templates

Article ID: Q109975

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following error message may occur when you use Word version 2.x for

Windows letter templates in Word version 6.0 for Windows:

   WordBasic error 123 -- Undefined dialog record field

CAUSE

=====

The cause for the Dialog Field Record errors in this situation is that the

SetLetterHeader macro, which is started from the AutoNew macro found in

each letter template, calls a GetLogoSize function that has a reference to

a Word 2.0 Paragraph formatting that is no longer valid in Word 6.0.

RESOLUTION

==========

The SetLetterHeader macro includes references to shading and border under

Paragraph formatting in Word 2.x. To correct the error, remove the

references to Border and Shading from the original command line. The

following is the command as it appears in the GetLogoSize function of the

SetLetterHeader macro:

   FormatParagraph .Before = "0li", .After = HeaderSize$,

   .LineSpacing = 0,  .KeepWithNext = 0, .Border = 0, .Shading = 0,

   .PageBreak = 0, .NoLineNum = 0

The corrected command should appear as follows:

   FormatParagraph .Before = "0li", .After = HeaderSize$,

   .LineSpacing = 0,  .KeepWithNext = 0, .PageBreak = 0,

   .NoLineNum = 0

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Word: Unable to Print to Printer on PC-NFS Network

Article ID: Q110008

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1 and 3.11

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print from Word 6.0 for Windows to a printer shared on a PC-NFS

network (version 4.0 or 5.0), you may receive an incomplete print job, or

you may receive the following error message:

   Error has been detected in the Printer Setup

-or-

   Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup

CAUSE

=====

These problems occur when you print from Word 6.0 on a network that does

not support Mandatory Record Locking. PC-NFS supports a form of file/record

locking called Advisory Record Locking. Because Word supports OLE 2.0,

which requires mandatory file/record locking, it cannot print directly to

the network (bypassing Print Manager when printing to a network printer

that has a server sharing it). Therefore, any attempt to print directly to

the network causes the problems noted above.

RESOLUTION

==========

To correct this problem, use one of the procedures below. Before performing

the appropriate procedure, make sure Print Manager is enabled by doing the

following:

1. Run Windows Control Panel.

2. Choose the Printers icon.

3. Select the Use Print Manager check box.

4. Choose Close.

You are using Windows 3.1

-------------------------

In Windows 3.1 use the following steps to correct the problem:

1. From the Program Manager main group, run Print Manager.

2. From the Options menu, choose Network Settings.

3. Clear the Print Net Jobs Direct check box.

4. Choose OK.

5. From the Options menu, choose Printer Setup.

6. Choose the Connect button.

7. Clear the Fast Printing Direct To Port check box.

8. Choose OK.

You are using Windows for Workgroups version 3.1 or 3.11

--------------------------------------------------------

In Windows for Workgroups (3.1 and 3.11) use the following steps to correct

the problem:

1. From the Program Manager main group, run Print Manager.

2. From the Options menu, choose Background Printing.

3. Clear the "Send Documents Directly to Network" check box.

4. Choose OK.

5. From the Options menu, choose Printer Setup.

6. Choose the Connect button.

7. Clear the "Fast Printing Direct to Port" check box.

8. Choose OK.

Picture Moved to Unexpected Location Using DisassemblePicture

Article ID: Q110009

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The DrawDisassemblePicture command, when performed on a graphic object

inside a frame in Word 6.0, moves the frame and picture to an unexpected

location.

CAUSE

=====

The DrawDisassemblePicture command is designed to break metafile pictures

into individual drawing objects, similar to ungrouping a graphic that was

built with Word 6.0 drawing tools. If the selected graphic is a bitmap

image, not a metafile, the command should put the graphic into a text box

on the drawing layer. However, if the graphic is inside a frame, the

graphic and frame are relocated to an unpredictable location on the screen.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word for Windows

version 6.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The DrawDisassemblePicture command is not included on any standard menu or

toolbar. It is a part of the WordBasic programming language and can be

assigned to a menu or toolbar.

Steps to Add a Command to a Toolbar

-----------------------------------

1. From the Tools menu, choose Customize and select the Toolbars tab.

2. From the Categories list box, select All Commands.

3. Find DrawDisassemblePicture in the Commands list, then click and drag

   the name onto a toolbar. The Disassemble Picture button should now

   appear on that toolbar.

Certain Colors of Text Do Not Print on Noncolor Printers

Article ID: Q110011

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print certain colors of text to noncolor printers in Word for

Windows 6.0, the text may not print, leaving only a blank space where the

text should appear.

This problem occurs when you have text formatted in the following colors:

   Cyan

   Green

   Lt. Gray

   Magenta

   Yellow

CAUSE

=====

These colors may not print on a 24-pin dot-matrix, noncolor printer or to a

printer using the HPPCL5E.DRV printer driver set to Raster graphics mode

because the printer driver is mapping color text to white. This problem

does not occur in Word 2.0 for Windows because Word 2.0 does not send color

information to a noncolor printer. Instead, Word maps all colors to black

when printing to a noncolor printer.

WORKAROUND

==========

You can work around this problem by doing one of the following:

 - Changing the color of the text to black.

 - Configuring Word to map all colored text to black.

 - Configuring the HPPCL5E.DRV printer driver in Raster graphics mode

   to HPGL/2 mode.

Changing the color of the text to black

---------------------------------------

To change the text color to black:

1. Select the text.

2. From the Format menu, choose Font.

3. In the Color list, select Black or Auto.

4. Choose OK.

Configuring Word to map all colored text to black

-------------------------------------------------

To configure Word 6.0 to map all colored text to black when printing to a

noncolor printer:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2. Select the Compatibility tab.

3. Select the "Print colors as black on noncolor printers" check box.

   Selecting this option prevents the printer drivers from rendering colors

   to gray scales.

Configuring the HPPCL5E.DRV printer

driver in Raster graphics mode to HPGL/2 mode

---------------------------------------------

If you are using the HPPCL5E.DRV printer driver in Raster graphics mode,

switch to HPGL/2 mode. To do this:

1. From the File Menu, choose Print.

2. Choose the Printer button.

3. Choose the Options button, and then choose the Options button again on

   the next window.

4. In the Graphics Mode list, choose HPGL/2.

5. Choose the OK button twice, then choose the Close button.

6. Choose the OK button again to return to the document.

Some Screen Items Update with ScreenUpdating Set to 0

Article ID: Q110012

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Toolbars may flash on and off, and document names may change when a macro

runs with ScreenUpdating set to 0 (zero).

CAUSE

=====

WordBasic Help states that the ScreenUpdating statement controls most

display changes on a monitor while a macro is running. When screen updating

is turned off (set to 0), Word still allows the macro to display or

retrieve information using status bar prompts, input boxes, dialog boxes,

or message boxes.

When a macro performs an action that has a corresponding toolbar icon, the

toolbar flashes on the screen. The following example will flash the

header/footer toolbar:

   Sub MAIN

    ScreenUpdating 0

    ViewHeader

    Insert "Header Text"

    CloseViewHeaderFooter

   End Sub

Other screen updates include the document title bar if the name of the

active document changes.

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 for Windows, the Help demo window stays minimized when you

click outside of the demo window or when you use the task list to switch to

a Word document and choose Examples And Demos from the Help menu. This does

not occur if you minimize Word for Windows, as the demo screen will not

Calculation Text Fields Within Forms Fail to Update

Article ID: Q110014

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Calculation text fields within forms do not automatically update.

RESOLUTION

==========

You cannot manually update a FORM field in Word. To update text fields with

Type set for calculation, create a macro using the following instructions:

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code 'as is' without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

 - Create a macro with the following line in it

      SetFormResult "text1"

   including the quotes and where "text1" is the bookmark name for the

   calculated field.

 - Assign the macro to the OnExit setting of a field other than the

   calculated field.

   The following is a quick macro that serves as a generic for forms.

   Sub MAIN

      For count = 1 To CountBookmarks()

         On Error Resume Next

         SetFormResult BookmarkName$(count)

         Err = 0

      Next

   End Sub

This macro attempts to update all bookmarks in the document. Calculation

fields must have a bookmark (while other fields do not). If a bookmark

resides within the protected document, an error occurs (which is caught by

the third line of the sample above, and skipped).

This macro will give the impression of on-the-fly updating if it is added

to each field; however, this will work slowly if a large number of

calculation fields reside in the document. If you need to update individual

fields, use the SetFormResult command followed by the calculation field

bookmark.

No Way to Cross-reference a Numbered Item in a Numbered List

Article ID: Q110016

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you number a list by choosing the Numbering button or by choosing

Bullets and Numbering from the Format menu, the items on the list do not

appear in the Cross-reference dialog box. For example, if you typed the

following steps and numbered them with the Numbering button, none of the

steps will be visible anywhere in the Insert Cross-Reference dialog box.

1. Break the eggs into a bowl.

2. Beat them with a fork. If you bought pre-beaten, pre-

   seasoned eggs, skip to step 4.

3. Add seasoning.

4. Heat butter in a skillet.

5. Pour the eggs into the skillet.

NOTE: The reference in step 2 to step 4 must be typed manually.

WORKAROUND

==========

In order for Word to suggest user-typed paragraphs in the Insert Cross-

references dialog box, you should do the following:

1. Highlight the list to select it.

2. Removed the numbering by choosing the Numbering button on the Formatting

   toolbar.

3. From the Format menu, choose Style.

4. From the list of Styles, select Heading 1. Choose Apply.

5. From the Format menu, choose Heading Numbering.

6. Select any heading style in the top row of examples. Choose OK.

Now when you place your insertion point where you want a cross-reference,

and you choose Cross-reference from the Insert menu, all the items on the

list will appear when you select Heading from the Reference Type list.

Supplemental Graphics Converters Information

Article ID: Q110017

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article contains information from SCNVINFO.DOC, which can be

decompressed from Disk 2 of the Supplemental Converters for Word for

Windows 6.0.

MORE INFORMATION

================

AutoCAD DXF Graphics

--------------------

The AutoCAD DXF graphic import filter supports AutoCAD versions through

version 12. AutoCAD version 11 includes a feature that enables the user to

place special borders around the drawing. When these borders are imported,

the converter overlaps the borders and graphics. To import such drawings,

remove the borders or send the file through the ADI plotter to a plot file,

then import the resulting plot file directly into Word for Windows.

This filter has the following limitations:

 - Extrusions, which are related to 3-D entities, are not supported.

 - Control codes and special characters (except underlining) embedded in

   text shapes require special characters and are not supported.

 - DXF files requiring separate shape definition files are not supported.

 - For multiple viewport DXF files, the file is imported using the current

   viewport.

AutoCAD ADI Binary Plotter Files

--------------------------------

The Word for Windows 6.0 AutoCAD ADI graphic import filter, ADIMPORT.FLT,

supports binary plotter file output from all versions of AutoCAD (up to and

including version 12) via the Autodesk Device Interface (ADI).

The ADI Binary graphic filter can be used to import any image saved in the

ADI format, including 3-D images with a viewport selected. Since ADI files

only refer to pen number without specifying what color each pen is, all

pens are assumed to be black. Thus, all images will be black and white.

Exporting ADI Binary Graphics from AutoCAD

------------------------------------------

In AutoCAD, you can configure one pen plotter and one printer plotter

device at one time.

To configure for export

-----------------------

1. From the AutoCAD Main menu, select option 5 (Configure AutoCAD).

2. From the Configuration menu, select option 5 (Configure Plotter).

3. Select ADI Plotter.

4. Select Output Format option 1 (Binary file).

5. You can accept the default settings for the questions that follow, or

   you can consult your printer manual to optimize the plotter

   specifications for your output device. When you leave AutoCAD, be sure

   to choose Yes when asked if you want to retain your configuration

   settings.

After you configure the AutoCAD ADI plotter interface, you can export the

graphic in one of two ways:

 - You can plot an existing drawing file to a file by selecting option 3,

   Plot a drawing, from AutoCAD's Main menu. When asked to specify a

   filename, make sure to include an .ADI filename extension (the default

   extension is .PLT).

 - You can plot the current drawing to a file by entering the PLOT command

   from the AutoCAD Drawing Editor. When asked to specify a filename, make

   sure to include an .ADI filename extension (the default extension is

   .PLT).

The AutoCAD image is now ready to be inserted into a Word 6.0 document.

CorelDRAW 3.0

-------------

This filter has the following limitations:

 - Rotated rounded rectangles are emulated using Circular Arc Center.

 - Vector Pattern fills are not fully supported.

 - Envelope editing and perspective editing are not supported.

 - Bitmaps are not supported.

 - Extruded object groups are not fully supported.

 - OLE Objects are not supported.

 - Line scaling is not supported.

Kodak Photo CD

--------------

By default, this filter imports images at a resolution of 512 x 768

pixels in 256 colors. Use the following procedure to change the default

resolution.

To set the default resolution

-----------------------------

1. From the File menu in Program Manager, choose Run.

2. In the Command Line box, type "notepad.exe win.ini" (without the

   quotation marks) and then choose the OK button. This will open WIN.INI

   in Notepad.

3. If there is not already an [MS Photo CD Import Filter] section in

   WIN.INI, create one. Position the insertion point below all the text in

   the file and type "[MS Photo CD Import Filter]" (without the quotation

   marks).

 4. In the [MS Photo CD Import Filter] section, add the following line,

    where <N> is the default resolution you want to use:

       DefaultResolution=<N>

    - The default resolution can be any number between 0 (zero) and 8.

      The resolutions represented by these numbers are listed in the two

      tables following this procedure.

    - You should use the smallest number possible for your output. A

      larger number means a higher quality image, but slower printing and

      display in Word or any other application.

 5. From the File menu in Notepad, choose Save and then Exit.

The following resolutions support 256 colors (8 bit). The quality of the

images is lower, but they display and print more quickly.

   Default

   Resolution

   Number       Resolution

   ----------   ----------

        0       512 x 768 (default)

        3       1024 x 1536

        4       2048 x 3072 (large picture)

The following resolutions support 16.7 million colors (24 bit). The quality

of the images is very high, but they display and print very slowly.

Moving Pictures into the Drawing Layer

Article ID: Q110018

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

There are three methods you can use to place a picture into the drawing

layer in Word:

 - Use the Picture command on the Insert menu.

 - Create a macro.

 - Cut the picture into the Clipboard.

Use the Picture Command on the Insert Menu

------------------------------------------

Insert the picture by choosing Picture from the Insert menu. Double-click

the inserted picture. When it appears in the Picture Editor, select the

objects with the drawing tool arrow and copy them to the Clipboard. Close

the Picture Editor and paste the objects into the document. This action

pastes the graphic into the drawing layer. Grouping objects before moving

may be helpful for vector graphics.

Create a Macro

--------------

Create the following macro to apply to any picture in the Text Layer:

Sub MAIN

DrawDisassemblePicture

DrawGroup

End Sub

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code 'as is' without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Cut the Picture to the Clipboard

--------------------------------

Cut the picture to the Clipboard. Click the drawing tool and create a

text box. Place the insertion point in the text box and paste the graphic.

Paragraph Numbering Causes Slow Scrolling

Article ID: Q110019

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Large documents that contain a  contiguous range of paragraphs that are

formatted with any type of paragraph numbering, scroll slowly in Word. Line

numbering also affects the speed of scrolling through the document;

however, the impact is not as great as with paragraph numbering.

CAUSE

=====

Because Word automatically updates numbers in a list, Word begins its count

at the first number in the list and continue to the number that appears at

the top or bottom of the screen, depending on the direction you are

scrolling. The rate of speed at which the scrolling becomes slower varies

with each system; however, contiguous ranges of approximately 100 numbered

paragraphs generally mark the point at which the speed begins to gradually

slow down.

This problem occurs with paragraphs formatted by choosing Bullets And

Numbering from the Format menu as well as the Numbering button on the

Toolbar, regardless of the numbering type (that is, multi-level, arabic

numbers, roman numerals, or alphabetic formats).

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

If the numbering is not contiguous or is interrupted, scrolling speed

returns until approximately 100 numbered paragraphs appear, at which time

the scrolling speed begins to gradually slow down. To interrupt numbering,

choose Stop Numbering from the shortcut menu.

NOTE: You cannot use this workaround if your paragraphs are formatted with

heading levels, because you cannot apply the Stop Numbering property to

heading level paragraphs.

CTRL+HOME Moves Insertion Point to Framed Object

Article ID: Q110020

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Pressing the CTRL+HOME key combination may move the insertion point to a

framed object instead of moving the insertion point to the beginning of the

document.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs when an anchor is attached to the first paragraph of

the document. If you view the document in normal view, you can see that the

framed object is really the first item in the document.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows version

6.0. This problem was corrected in Word for Windows version 6.0a.

RESOLUTION

==========

To work around this problem:

 - Move the anchor to a paragraph other than the first one in the document,

   like the second paragraph. To do this, drag the anchor to another

   paragraph.

   -or-

 - Move to the beginning of the document by pressing the Page Up key enough

   times and insert a bookmark. You can then use the F5 key to move to the

   bookmark.

MORE INFORMATION

================

A frame is always anchored to a paragraph. As you move the frame, the

anchor moves to the closest paragraph. Locking an anchor to a specific

paragraph ensures that the frame always appears on the same page as the

paragraph.

To view anchors of framed objects, choose Options from the Tools menu,

select the View tab, and select All in the Nonprinting Characters

list, or click the Show/Hide button on the Standard Toolbar. Then

click the framed object.

Font Formatting Does Not Display in Some Dialog Boxes

Article ID: Q110022

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In the Tools Envelopes and Labels dialog box, under the Envelopes tab, Word

does not display any font formatting applied to the Return or Delivery

Address text. This happens regardless of which of the following methods you

use to format the text:

 - Copy formatted text from your document and paste it in the Return

   Address or Delivery Address box.

   -or-

 - Format the text by choosing the Options button in the Tools Envelopes

   and Labels dialog box and then choosing the Font button under Delivery

   Address or Return Address.

Even through font formatting is not displayed under the Envelopes tab, the

formatting prints correctly. It also displays correctly if you add the

envelope to your document.

By contrast, Word displays all the font formatting for the Address text

under the Labels tab in the Tools Envelopes and Labels dialog box.

CAUSE

=====

Word does not display font formatting in the text box of any dialog box

that is NOT an editable Rich Text Edit (RTE) dialog box. For example, the

Insert Caption, Mark Citation, Mark Index Entry dialog boxes, and the

Envelopes tab of the Tools Envelopes and Labels dialog box are not editable

RTE dialog boxes.

By contrast, Word displays all font formatting in an editable RTE dialog

box (such as the Labels tab of the Tools Envelopes and Labels dialog box).

Note: In an editable RTE dialog box, you can apply multiple font formats

and see the results of the formatting in the dialog box. For more

information about RTE dialog boxes, please see the following article(s) in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   ARTICLE-ID: Q106047

   TITLE     : Definition of Rich Text Edit (RTE) Dialog Boxes

STATUS

======

This is a limitation of RTE dialog boxes that are not editable.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word displays the text in the Envelope dialog box according to the Envelope

Address and Envelope Return styles. Any changes to the envelope styles will

be reflected in the envelope dialog box. Direct formatting applied to the

delivery address or return address text will not be displayed in the

envelope dialog box.

Numbered Tables with Shading May Not Print Properly

Article ID: Q110070

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A table will incorrectly print with shading in the second row if that table

1) contains shading in the first row, 2) contains a first column that has

number formatting applied to it, and 3) contains a second column that

contains text that wraps within the cell. This shading was not applied to

the second row and does not appear in print preview.

This problem occurs with all printer drivers. This problem does not occur

if the third row or the number formatting is removed from the table.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

If there are only a few numbered paragraphs, manually number the paragraphs

instead of using the numbering format.

Alternatively, if you have a long list of numbers with some parts

improperly shaded, the improperly shaded areas can be corrected by using

the following method:

1. Insert extra paragraph marks after the text in the table cell that is

   improperly shaded. The number of paragraph marks should be equal to the

   number of lines that appear in the adjacent cell in column 2.

2. Remove the numbering from those empty paragraphs. The next numbered

   paragraph will now be incorrect because by default Word restarts

   numbering if there are unnumbered paragraphs between numbered ones.

3. Place the insertion point in the paragraph that is now improperly

   numbered and choose Bullets And Numbering from the Format menu. Choose

   Modify and set the Start At value to the proper number in the sequence.

Repeat the above steps for other improperly shaded areas.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

--------------------------

Create the following table using the steps below:

   ------------------------------------

   | <shaded>   | <shaded>            |

   ------------------------------------

   | 1. test    | text text text text |

   |            | text text           |

   ------------------------------------

   | 2. test    |                     |

   ------------------------------------

1. Create a table with 2 columns and 3 rows.

2. In row 2, column 1, type "test" and do not press ENTER.

3. In row 3, column 1, type "test" and do not press ENTER.

4. In row 2, column 2, type some text that wraps down to the second line in

   the cell.

5. Select the two cells that contain the word "test" and choose Bullets And

   Numbering from the Format menu. Select OK to apply the default number

   formatting.

6. Select row 1 and choose Borders And Shading from the Format menu.

   Select the Shading tab and select 20% from the Shading scroll box.

   Choose OK.

7. Print the document.

Result: The lower portion of column 1, row 2 will be shaded.

Merging to New Document Creates Continuous Numbering

Article ID: Q110084

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOM

=======

In Word version 6.0, the document that results from a mail merge to a

new document will number each section continuously. This behavior is

different from that of Word version 2.0 print merge documents.

CAUSE

=====

The file that results from merging a Mail Merge Main document to a new

document in Word 6.0 retains the formatting of the main document. Since the

default format of a Word document is to number continuously, the merged

document will show continuous numbers instead of restarting the numbers

with each new section.

RESOLUTION

==========

To make the page numbers of a Form Letters document restart with each new

section, change the numbering with the following steps:

1. Open the main document.

How the Envelope Feed Option Icon Works

Article ID: Q110085

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The Printing Options dialog box implies that you can choose any envelope

feed position and direction, and that will be how the envelope prints from

the printer. THIS IS NOT WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

(To locate the Printing Options dialog box, choose Envelopes And Labels

from the Tools menu, select the Envelope tab, choose the Options button,

and then select the Printing Options tab.)

The following information applies to every printer EXCEPT the Hewlett-

Packard (HP) DeskJet printer, which are covered in a later section.

MORE INFORMATION

================

How Does the Icon Work?

-----------------------

When you send an envelope to the printer, Word tells the printer that the

paper is an envelope (such as COM 10) and tells the printer what text to

print and where to print it.

Most printers are preset to print an envelope a certain way. If the

envelope feed option icon matches the way a printer physically feeds an

envelope, then there is no problem. If the icon does not match, several

incorrect results are possible. The printer may:

 - Print the envelope the way the feed option icon tells it to.

   -or-

 - Print the envelope the way the hardware tells the printer to print the

   envelope (as if there were no icon, making the icon useless).

   -or-

 - Print the envelope in some unpredictable way.

The feed option icon is used to correct Word when the printer driver tells

Word the incorrect feed method. This can be due to:

 - A broken or incorrect printer driver.

   -or-

 - A printer running an emulation that has a different envelope feed method

   than the printer it is emulating.

An example of the second condition is a Panasonic printer running a

LaserJet II emulation. Windows uses a LaserJet II driver that tells Word

that the envelope feeds in the center, which is the feed method that Word

suggests. The Panasonic printer, however, physically feeds the envelope on

the right side.

If you print an envelope with the feed option icon suggesting a center

feed, almost anything can happen. Word sends commands to feed center, while

the printer hardware tries to override the center feed option because it

internally "knows" how to print an envelope.

To correctly print the envelope, use the envelope feed option icon. By

choosing the correct feed method option, the commands that Word sends to

the printer match what the printer hardware is trying to do, and the

envelope prints correctly.

In summary, you can correct Word's automatic feed choice when Word chooses

a method that is different from the physical way the printer feeds

envelopes. Word cannot, however, force the printer to print envelopes any

differently than the hardware is designed to print envelopes.

What About the Clockwise Rotation Option?

-----------------------------------------

When printing envelopes in landscape, most printers can only rotate text 90

degrees in one direction (either clockwise or counterclockwise). Word asks

the printer driver which way it can rotate text. ("Do you do landscape by

rotating clockwise 90 degrees from portrait or counterclockwise 90

degrees?") If the driver reports this information correctly (that is, the

printer driver reports the correct way that the printer is capable of

rotating text), then Word arranges the envelope so that the printer can

successfully print the envelope. If the printer driver reports this

information incorrectly, then Word may try to send commands to the printer

that the printer cannot handle. Anything can happen then.

Again, this may happen if:

 - The printer driver reports hardware capabilities incorrectly.

   -or-

 - The printer is running an emulation where the printer driver gives Word

   different information then what the printer hardware physically

   supports.

In either case, selecting or clearing the Clockwise rotation check box

tells Word the correct feed method so that the printer commands meshes with

the printer hardware.

What about envelopes that are not COM 10?

-----------------------------------------

If the printer driver tells Word that the printer can handle a certain size

envelope and the printer really can handle it, then everything happens as

explained in the above section.

If the driver says the printer can't handle a certain size and the printer

really can't, then Word sends the envelope as an 8.5-by-11-inch letter with

"fudged" margins. Fudged margins are when Word sets up a larger piece of

paper and increases the margins so that the text falls in the correct

position on the smaller piece of paper when printed. In this situation, the

envelope will still print out correctly, since Word can work around the

printer hardware limitations.

If the printer driver tells Word that the printer can handle a certain size

envelope, but the printer really can't (such as might happen with an

emulation), then the commands that Word sends to the printer might not mesh

with what the printer can actually do. The envelope might come out

incorrectly printed.

A fairly safe bet is custom envelopes. If you try to print a 5-by-7-inch

envelope, the printer driver will probably tell Word that the printer can't

handle 5-by-7-inch envelopes. You can also be fairly sure that the printer

hardware isn't designed for 5-by-7-inch  envelopes. Word will send the

envelope as an 8.5-by-11-inch sheet with fudged margins. The printer will

print the 8.5-by-11-inch sheet just like Word told it to do.

Possible Issue: "I have a No-Name printer that does an HP II emulation and

                it isn't printing my #12 envelope correctly."

Method 1: Format an 8.5-by-11-inch landscape document with fudged margins

          and put your envelope information on it. Note: Since this is

          being sent as a letter-size document, the printer's envelope

          feeder will not work, since an envelope feeder will not pull

          letter paper on most printers.

Method 2: Create a custom envelope with the #12 dimensions. It will also be

          sent as a 8.5-by-11-inch document with fudged margins.

Why can't Word have supreme control over the printer?

--------------------------------------------------------

Word could do that by sending every envelope, regardless of dimensions, as

an 8.5-by-11-inch document with fudged margins. The problem is that most

envelope feeders expect a signal from the software telling it the paper is

a "real" envelope. If we sent every envelope as a letter-size request, none

of the envelope feeders would work, since envelope feeders only feed

envelopes and not letter-size pieces of paper.

What about the DeskJets?

------------------------

The DeskJet 550 and 510 print text in three directions, something that most

printers don't do. The DeskJet prints normal, portrait documents in

portrait. It prints envelopes it recognizes (such as COM 10, DL, and #12)

by rotating clockwise 90 degrees. It rotates envelopes it doesn't know

about counterclockwise 90 degrees.

To solve the problem of "Who knows which way it will rotate," the DeskJet

has been set up as a special case internally to Word. To print envelopes

reliably with Word 6.0, you must have the 3.1 driver from HP. It is the

driver Word was designed and tested for.

For more information on how to print envelopes correctly using the

DeskJet printers, query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge

Base:

   word6 and deskjet and envelopes

Special Exception for PostScript

--------------------------------

You can change the rotation of PostScript envelopes. The PostScript driver

looks at a special WIN.INI entry of the following form:

   [HP LaserJet IIISi PostScript,LPT2]    '(or other PostScript printer)

   LandscapeOrient=270

If LandscapeOrient is missing, the default is 90 degrees. Landscape rotates

text either 90 degrees or 270 degrees in the counterclockwise direction.

THIS WILL ONLY WORK with the Windows 3.1 PostScript driver (PSCRIPT.DRV).

You should find the section in the WIN.INI file that looks like [<Printer

Model>, <Port>] and add this entry.

If you restart Word and go into the Envelope Options dialog box, you should

notice that the Clockwise rotation box is now selected. If it's not, try

choosing the Reset button in the dialog box. If it's still not selected,

the WIN.INI entry did not get properly set.

Slow Printing or Hangs Using BubbleJet 600 Printer

Article ID: Q110086

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1, 3.11

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When printing from Word 6.0 for Windows to a Canon BJC-600 printer

using version 1.0 of the BJC printer driver (BJC600.DRV), Word may

print very slow or hang during the printing of the document.

Sometimes the tutorials will not run when this printer driver is selected.

CAUSE

=====

Choosing the BJC-600 printer driver  version 1.0 may cause the system

RAM to become depleted when printing documents

STATUS

======

This problem is resolved by the v.2.0b driver which is available from Canon

technical support. Canon Printer Technical Support can be reached at (800)

423-2366.

WORKAROUND

==========

1. Disabling Print Manager helps this situation.

2. Disabling "Fast Printing to Port" helps this situation.

3. Use the BJ-10 or BJ-200 printer driver to solve the resource consumption

   problem. Note: These printer drivers only allow for Black and White

   printing.

   If you need to be able to print in color, use the Epson LQ-860 driver

   available from the Microsoft Download Service (EP24.EXE) at 206-936-

   MSDL.

MORE INFORMATION

================

 - Setting the driver to "Screen Matching Colors" is much slower than

   "Color."

 - "Diffusion" is much slower than "Pattern."

 - Combinations of the above settings are very slow.

The Canon products included here are manufactured by vendors independent of

Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these

products' performance or reliability.

Word 6.0 for Windows TableMath Macro

Article ID: Q110091

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article contains information about the TableMath macro, included with

Word 6.0 for Windows TABLES.DOT template (located in the <WINWORD>\MACROS

subdirectory, where <WINWORD> is the location of your Word for Windows

program directory).

NOTE: Most of the information provided below is also available in Help

(accessible by clicking the Show Help button) within the macro.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Word 6.0 for Windows TableMath macro works equally well outside of a

table. If youre working in a table, you can highlight cells prior to

running the macro if a range is desired in the formula.

NOTE: The TableMath macro from the Application Note titled "WD0523:

WordBasic Macro Examples for Word for Windows 2.0" does not run correctly

in Word 6.0 for Windows.

To start the TableMath macro

----------------------------

1. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

2. Select the TableMath macro and choose Run.

   If the macro isnt listed, you need to install it first.

To install the TableMath macro

------------------------------

Use one of the following methods to install TableMath.

Method 1

--------

1. From the File menu, choose Templates.

2. Choose Add.

3. In the Directories tree, select the <WINWORD>\MACROS subdirectory (where

   <WINWORD> is the location of your Word for Windows directory).

4. From the File Name list, select TABLES.DOT.

5. Choose OK for both dialog boxes.

Method 2

--------

1. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

2. Choose Organizer.

3. Select the Macros tab.

4. Attach one side of the dialog box to NORMAL.DOT and the other side to

   TABLES.DOT. Then copy the TableMath macro to NORMAL.DOT.

LIST (drop-down list box)

-------------------------

Cells, Bookmarks, and Numbers are available if the insertion point is in a

table. If the insertion point is not in a table, Bookmarks and Numbers are

not available. (Bookmarks are available only if they exist within the

document.)

The "List" list may contain Cells, Bookmarks, or Numbers. To add an item to

the formula, either double-click the item or select it and click the

Include button.

   Cells      When you select Cells, the list displays the available cells

               in the table. (These are indented within the list box to

               allow accurate sorting within the macro.)

              Note: Table cells that are added to the formula are removed

               from the target list. This prevents formula errors when the

               formula is pasted into the document.

   Bookmarks  When you select Bookmarks, the list shows all the bookmarks

               in the document in alphabetical order.

   Numbers    Numbers are tested for accuracy (for example, four digits

               between a period and a comma will not be accepted nor commas

               to the right of a period). Negatives are allowed if at the

               left of the number.

VALUES (list box)

-----------------

As items are included in or excluded from this list, the formula is created

and updated. It is visible above the OK button.

To remove items from the Values list (and the formula), either double-

click the item (but not the last remaining item in the list) or select the

item and click the Exclude button. The formula updates automatically.

Note:  Because table cells have been indented for sorting, they do not line

up with bookmarks or individual numbers. This indent is removed in the

formula.

SHOW VALUES (button)

--------------------

If you select a table cell or bookmark in the List or Values group and

choose the Show Values button, a message box appears with the result of

that item.

This button is disabled if the selection is not a single table cell or

bookmark.

CALCULATION TYPE (drop-down list)

---------------------------------

This list displays different formula types. If a desired calculation type

is not available, choose the Advanced Formula button and see the Paste

Function list for a more comprehensive list.

Messages are displayed if you select a calculation type that does not

operate with the items in the Values list. For example, if a range is in

the Values list, then ABS, Division, Exponent, Int, and Subtraction do not

work.

When you select a range in the table as the macro is run, the SUM

calculation type will automatically be selected, and the range will be

added to the formula.

TARGET CELL/CLIPBOARD (list box and check box)

----------------------------------------------

The Target Cell list remains disabled until you clear the Clipboard check

box.

In table:

 - Clipboard check box is selected: A message box will appear informing you

   to move the insertion point to where the formula will be placed and to

   paste the formula there. If table cells are included in the formula, the

   message will recommend that the formula be placed within the table to

   avoid errors.

 - Clipboard check box is cleared: When the Clipboard check box is cleared,

   the Target Cells list will be available, and you can select a location

   for the formula to be placed. Remember: This list will not include any

   table cells being used in the formula.

   NOTE: The macro also checks whether the target cell has text currently

   in it. If so, you are given the choice of replacing the current cell

   contents with the formula or placing the formula at the end of the text

   in the target cell.

Not in table:

 - Clipboard check box is selected: A message box appears informing you to

   move the insertion point to where the formula will be placed and to

   paste the formula there.

 - Clipboard check box is cleared: The Target Cell list remains disabled,

   and the formula is placed in the document at the insertion point.

NUMBER FORMAT (drop-down list)

------------------------------

This list has formats for the formula results. If a desired format is not

listed, select Other Format at the bottom of the list. An input box appears

requesting a new format. After a format is entered and accepted, it appears

in the Number Format list. (NOTE: The macro does not test if the Other

Format is not a valid format. The final result may show an error if it is

invalid.)

ADVANCED FORMULA (button)

-------------------------

When you choose the Advanced Formula button, the macro defaults to Word's

internal Formula dialog box. This enables more advanced users to enter

their own formulas. The Target Cell and Clipboard options are still

available.

To return to the TableMath main dialog, choose the Regular Formula button.

Any original selections remain unchanged.

SHOW/CLOSE HELP (button)

------------------------

Context-sensitive Help: Click an item in the main dialog then click the

Show Help button; help is displayed on that specific option.

Help is available in the main dialog. The bar at the bottom of the dialog

box changes depending upon the item selected.

The online Help (after clicking the Show Help button) gives an overview,

descriptions of the different main dialog components, and formula types.

The option buttons in the help screen allow you to quickly move to a

specific topic. To scroll through the help topics in order, click the Page

ODBC - Open Database Connectivity Overview

Article ID: Q110093

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is Microsoft's strategic interface for

accessing data in a heterogeneous environment of relational and non-

relational database management systems. Based on the Call Level Interface

specification of the SQL Access Group, ODBC provides an open, vendor-

neutral way of accessing data stored in a variety of proprietary personal

computer, minicomputer, and mainframe databases.

ODBC alleviates the need for independent software vendors and corporate

developers to learn multiple application programming interfaces. ODBC now

provides a universal data access interface. With ODBC, application

developers can allow an application to concurrently access, view, and

modify data from multiple, diverse databases.

ODBC is a core component of Microsoft Windows Open Services Architecture.

Apple has endorsed ODBC as a key enabling technology by announcing support

into System 7 in the future. With growing industry support, ODBC is quickly

emerging as an important industry standard for data access for both Windows

and Macintosh applications.

MORE INFORMATION

=================

ODBC is a specification to which developers write either:

 - An ODBC-enabled "front-end" or "client" desktop application, also known

   as an "ODBC Client." This is the application that the computer-user

   sees on the computer screen.

   -or-

 - An ODBC Driver for a "back-end" or "server" DBMS (Database Management

   System). This is the DBMS application that resides on a computer that is

   used to store data for access by several users. This application is not

   what is loaded on the end user's computer. This server application is

   usually more robust (faster, with centralized security, and backups of

   data, and so forth) than the client application. The ODBC Driver resides

   between the ODBC Client and the DBMS; however, it is loaded on the

   front-end computer.

To use ODBC, the following three components are required:

ODBC CLIENT - an ODBC-enabled front-end (also called ODBC client) -

Examples: Microsoft Access, an application created with Access, an

application created with Microsoft Visual Basic, an application created

with C+Win SDK+ODBC SDK, or ODBC-enabled applications from other vendors

(such as Lotus).

ODBC DRIVER - an ODBC Driver for the ODBC Server. The ODBC Driver Catalog

contains an extensive listing of ODBC Drivers. For example, the Microsoft

ODBC Driver Pack is a collection of seven ODBC Drivers ready to be used or

bundled with ODBC clients. A SQL Server ODBC Driver is included with

Access, and Informix is working on an ODBC driver for Informix. Call the

Microsoft Sales Information Center at (800) 426-9400 to order the ODBC

Driver Catalog.

Any ODBC client can access any DBMS for which there is an ODBC Driver.

DBMS SERVER - a back-end or server DBMS - Examples: SQL Server, Oracle,

AS/400, Foxpro, Access, or any DBMS for which an ODBC driver exists.

How do these three components interact?

---------------------------------------

The ODBC client uses a language or vocabulary of commands (which is

referred to as "ODBC") to request data from, or to send data to, the back-

end or server DBMS. However, the DBMS doesn't understand the ODBC client

request until the command passes through the ODBC Driver for that specific

DBMS. This ODBC driver is software that resides on the front-end. The ODBC

driver translates the command into a format that the ODBC Server can

understand. The ODBC Server sends the answer back to the ODBC Driver, which

translates the answer into a format that the ODBC Client can understand.

What's so great about ODBC?

---------------------------

First, application developers don't need to modify their applications to

allow them to access data from several back-ends. As long as there is an

ODBC Driver for a particular back-end, an ODBC-enabled front-end can access

it. Second, one ODBC Driver for a particular DBMS allows any ODBC-enabled

application to be an ODBC client.

Examples of ODBC in Use

-----------------------

 - Access front-end accessing data from a Oracle back-end using the Oracle

   ODBC Driver, which ships with Access 1.1.

 - Visual Basic front-end accessing data from a dBASE back-end using the

   dBASE ODBC Driver, which is part of the MS ODBC Database Drivers Pack.

 - C application written using C+ODBC SDK+Win SDK accessing data from an

   AS/400 using the AS/400 ODBC Driver available from Rochester Software.

Basic Questions and Answers

---------------------------

1. What is the ODBC SDK?

   The ODBC SDK is distributed on floppy disks, and contains about 150

   pages of text that allows a developer to write an ODBC-enabled Client or

   an ODBC Driver. The ODBC SDK is to be used in conjunction with the

   Windows Software Developers Kit (SDK) and a C Compiler.

2. What is the ODBC Database Driver Pack?

   The ODBC Database Driver Pack is a collection of ODBC Drivers that

   is sold by Microsoft.

3. What is the ODBC Driver Catalog?

   The ODBC Driver Catalog contains descriptions of ODBC drivers developed

   by Microsoft and other software companies. It contains an explanation of

   ODBC, and demonstrates industry support for the standard.

4. What ODBC drivers are currently available?

   Dozens of ODBC drivers are currently available, including those for

   Microsoft SQL Server, XLS, Text, xBase, Paradox, ODS, Oracle, RedISAM,

   FoxBase, Btrieve, Integra-SQL, DEC Rdb, SQLBase, Informix, Ingres, DB2,

   SQL/DS, Teradata, and SQL/400.

5. How do I write an ODBC driver?

   To write an ODBC driver, use C+Win SDK+ODBC SDK.

6. What ODBC clients are currently available?

   From Microsoft: Access, Visual Basic, Foxpro+Connectivity Kit, Word 6.0

   for Windows, Excel 5.0, MS Query Tool.

   From other vendors: PowerSoft, ObjectView, Lotus 1-2-3, Lotus Approach,

   Lotus Notes, Q+E, and others.

7. How does one write an ODBC client?

   By using C+Win SDK+ODBC SDK, or by using Access, or by using Visual

   Basic, or by using WinFox +Connectivity Kit, or by using one of the

   tools from other vendors designed to do this.

Drawings with Chord or Pie Wedge Shapes Display Incorrectly

Article ID: Q110144

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you edit a picture that contains chord arcs or non-90-degree pie wedge

arcs (that is, pie wedge arcs with angles other than 90 degrees), Word

changes these shapes to 90-degree arcs. In addition, Word may superimpose

some arcs so it appears they are missing.

Note: A chord is the geometric shape that occurs when you intersect two

points on a curve with a straight line (similar to the letter D).

CAUSE

=====

The Word drawing tools create only one type of arc, namely a 90-degree pie-

shaped arc that consists of pie-shaped fill plus an outline only on the

curved edge. This arc has no outline on the two straight edges. If you open

a picture that contains other types of arcs (such as a chord, a fully-

outlined pie wedge, or a non-90-degree pie wedge), Word converts them to

this supported arc format. Sometimes this conversion positions two arcs in

the same quadrant, which places one arc over the top of another; therefore,

the arc on the bottom appears to disappear.

Text Frame Positioned Left Relative to Page Not at Page Edge

Article ID: Q110145

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you apply Left Relative To Page frame formatting to framed text, Word

for Windows may not position the frame at the edge of the page. Instead,

Word may position the frame a small distance from the edge of the page

(approximately .5 inch).

This happens only with framed text, not with a framed picture. It may

not

happen if you have a small left margin setting such as .5 inch.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here

in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To position framed text at the left edge of the page, type "0" (zero,

without the quotation marks) in the Horizontal Position box in the

Format

Frame dialog box.

WordBasic Error #24 Using Mid$(), Left$() or Right$() Function

Article ID: Q110164

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You may receive WordBasic error #24 "Bad parameter" when using the Mid$(),

Right$() or Left$() functions if the Count parameter for the statement has

a negative value. In Word 2.0 for Windows, a negative value in the Count

parameter of the Mid$(), Right$() or Left$() functions is ignored and does

not generate an error.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Mid$() statement is used to return a portion of a text string starting

at a given character position. The syntax for the command is

   Mid$(<Source$>, <Start> [, <Count>])

where <Source$> is the text string, <Start> is the character position from

which to start, and <Count> is the number of characters to return, moving

from left to right, starting at the <Start> position. If nothing is

specified for the <Count> parameter, all the characters from the <Start>

position to the end of the string are returned.

The following macro illustrates this:

   Sub MAIN

   x$ = Mid$("hello", 1, -1)

   MsgBox x$

   End Sub

In Word version 2.0 for Windows, the "-1" value for the <Count> parameter

is ignored, as if it weren't specified at all. So in Word 2.0 the message

box displays all the characters from the first character position to the

end of the string. In this case, the message box displays "hello".

By contrast, running this macro in Word 6.0 will produce a

WordBasic error #24, "Bad parameter":

Sub MAIN

 Test$ = ""

 REM Empty string, could be passed as an empty dialog variable for example.

 Right$(Test$, Len(Test$) - 1)

End Sub

The above example posts WordBasic error #24 since the length of Test$ minus

1 is a negative number (0 - 1 = -1).

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code 'as is' without warranty of any

TableMath Macro: Purpose, Usage, and Issues

Article ID: Q110165

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article discusses the purpose, usage, and known support issues for the

TableMath macro, supplied with Word version 6.0 for Windows in the

TABLES.DOT file.

MORE INFORMATION

================

PURPOSE OF THE MACRO

--------------------

The TableMath macro makes it easier to develop formulas to use in tables.

HOW TO USE THE MACRO

--------------------

For more information on how to use the macro, see the macro's online Help

system or query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   tablemath and wordbasic and 6.0

KNOWN ISSUES

------------

When you use the TableMath macro, you may receive the following errors:

 - Error #143 ("Command Failed") when double-clicking a Value item.

 - Error message when using Subtraction.

 - Target cell contents not appearing in the Show Value message box.

 - Status bar loses text.

 - Table Cells are selected but none appear in macro.

Error #143 ("Command Failed") when double-clicking a Value item

---------------------------------------------------------------

This error occurs when you double-click the last item in the Values list

box.

To work around this problem:

1. Select the final item in the Values list.

2. Click the Exclude button. (This will remove the item from the list

   without the error message appearing.)

Error message when using Subtraction

------------------------------------

When the Subtraction function is selected when a range is in the Values

list box, the following message appears:

   The SUBTRACTION (-) function cannot operate on more than one value.

To work around this problem:

1. Remove the range from the Values list box.

2. Change to the Subtraction function.

3. Re-add the cells individually.

Target cell contents not appearing in the Show Value message box

----------------------------------------------------------------

This problem occurs if all of the following are true:

 - The Clipboard check box is not checked.

 - A cell is selected in the Target list box.

 - The Show Value button is clicked.

The result displayed in the message box will be the active cell in the List

list box.

To work around this problem:

1. Click in the List list box.

2. Select the target cell.

3. Click the Show Value button.

Status Bar Loses Text

---------------------

When a message appears on the screen, the text in the status bar disappears

and is not replaced. This happens because the message box places "For Help,

press F1" in the status bar by default.

Currently there is no workaround.

Table Cells are selected but none appear in macro

-------------------------------------------------

This problem occurs if part or all of the table is selected along with

something outside of the table. This is by design; if a table cell is part

of the formula and it is pasted outside of the table, the resulting field

will return an error.

Word Document Objects Cropped When Embedded/Pasted

Article ID: Q110166

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Embedded Word 6.0 for Windows document objects have default margins of 0

inches and page sizes of 6 inches by 9 inches or less. As a result, when

you embed a Word document object in another Word document or in another

application (such as Microsoft Publisher or Microsoft PowerPoint), one side

of the object may appear cropped. This happens if the page width of the

object is greater than 6 inches.

WORKAROUND

==========

To preserve margins and page sizes for document objects, you must insert a

Word 6.0 document object and then paste the desired text into the open

object. To do this:

1. Select the text for the desired object. Be sure to include all trailing

   section breaks for text in the section and the last paragraph mark for

   text of the last section of a document. Page sizes and margins of

   sections are stored in trailing section breaks and in the last paragraph

   mark for the last section of a document.

2. From the Edit menu, choose Copy or Cut.

3. Using the client application's Insert Object command, insert a Word 6.0

   document object. The object by default will have margins of 0 inches and

   a page size of approximately 6 inches by 9 inches.

4. Put the insertion point in the open document object.

5. From the Edit menu, choose Paste or Paste Special to insert the

   previously copied or cut text.

The object will now reflect the margins and page sizes of the original

text. This may be undesirable if the object is now too wide to be viewed

fully in the client application.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Document text that is copied will have a page size of 6 inches by 9 inches

or less and margins of 0 inches when pasted as a Word version 6.0 document

object into a client application. These settings are applied to every

section of the document object. A Word 6.0 document object created with the

Object command on the Insert menu also has the same page and margin

settings specified above.

NOTE: Paragraphs that are indented from either the left or right margin may

appear strange when pasted as an object due to the changed page width for

the object. For example, a paragraph that is indented 3 inches from the

right on an 8.5-inch-wide page appears extremely narrow when pasted as an

object (which has a 6-inch-wide page). Paragraphs or tables that contain

border formatting may appear to be missing the left or right side borders.

Borders normally extend to the left and right of indentations. This is so

that the text of the bordered paragraph will align with other text in the

document that contains no bordering (assuming the same indentation

settings). Therefore, with margins for the object at 0 inches, paragraphs

with no indentations have borders that extend off the left and right side

of the document.

Word 6.0 for Windows sets the above-mentioned page specifications for its

objects so that each document object can be represented at full scale

visually within a standard Word document. Default Word documents have left

and right margins of 1.25 inches, which leaves 6 inches of horizontal

printable space. If you copy and paste text wider than 6 inches as an

object, the object will extend past the area of the containing application

(object page length may also vary).

Text narrower than 6 inches pasted as an object has a page width

approximately equal to the original width. For example, if you copy text 3-

inches wide, it pastes as an object of approximately the same width.

All Revisions Not Merged Using Merge Revisions in Word 6.0

Article ID: Q110168

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use the merge revisions feature of Word version 6.0, an added

table in the document being merged causes all revisions following the table

to not be merged with the original document. When this problem occurs, you

receive the following error message:

   The merged documents contain unmarked revisions.

   Do you want to merge up to the first unmarked revision.

If you choose OK, Word merges the changes up to the table in the original

document but does not merge anything after the table. If you choose Cancel,

Word cancels the merge and leaves the two documents in their original

content.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 for Windows. We

are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Printing Envelopes Using the IBM 4029 Print Accelerator

Article ID: Q110170

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print envelopes with the IBM 4029 Print Accelerator version 1.0

using the Word 6.0 for Windows Envelopes And Labels command, some sizes of

envelopes may not print at all or may print in the wrong position.

CAUSE

=====

If you try to print envelope sizes other then #10, #9, DL, C5, B5, or

Monarch, the printer resets and nothing is printed.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Envelope sizes of #10, #9, DL, C5, B5, and Monarch are included in the

printer driver and print correctly once you set the correct feed method

using the envelope feed method icon. For example:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Envelopes And Labels.

2. Choose Options.

3. Choose the Printing Option tab.

4. Choose the Right (instead of the default choice of Center) feed method

   icon to match the way the 4029 accepts envelopes.

5. In the Feed From list, select Envelope if you are using the 4029

   envelope feeder.

Any other size of envelope will cause the printer to reset and nothing will

be printed. Refer to the workaround below for information on how to print

other size envelopes.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem:

1. Choose the next largest size of envelope from the envelope sizes

   mentioned above.

2. Add the envelope to a document.

3. Increase the margins to create a workspace the size of the envelope you

   want to print.

4. Print page 0 to print the envelope.

Default Paragraph Font Is Based on Installed Printer

Article ID: Q110171

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Word version 6.0 for Windows, the default paragraph font may not seem

correct. The Default Paragraph Font style performs the same function that

CTRL+SPACEBAR does; it strips all direct character formatting from the

selected text and allows the font applied through the style to appear. So

depending on the style in use, the Default Paragraph Font style applies the

font assigned to that style.

The Default Paragraph Font in the Style dialog box is always the default

serif font for the printer you have installed. When you are in the Format

Style dialog box, the Default Paragraph Font style doesn't have any style

to reference. As a result, it uses the default serif font for the printer.

Word Displays Field Results as Deleted and Reinserted

Article ID: Q110173

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The first time you update fields in a document in which revision marking is

turned on, Word marks the result of each field as deleted and reinserted.

For example, if your document contains a PAGE field, Word displays the page

number twice, marked once for deletion (with strikethrough formatting) and

once for insertion (with underline formatting).

This happens in all parts of your Word document, including footnotes,

headers and footers, table of contents, or annotations, even if you have

not modified the field or its contents. It only happens once for each

field, the first time Word updates the field while revision marking is

turned on. (To turn on revision marking, choose Revisions from the Tools

menu, select the Mark Revisions While Editing option, and then choose OK.)

Note: Word automatically updates fields in the header and footer when you

print. If you turn on the Update Fields option, Word updates all the fields

in your document each time you print. (To locate the Update Fields option,

choose Options from the Tools menu and select the Print tab.)

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use one of the following methods to prevent Word from displaying field

results as deleted and reinserted:

Method 1: Lock the field by selecting the field and pressing CTRL+F11

          before you print or perform another operation that updates

          fields.

          NOTE: The field can be unlocked by selecting the field and

          pressing CTRL+SHIFT+F11.

Method 2: Accept all revisions and turn off revisions marking before you

          print or perform another operation that updates fields.

Preserving Text When Re-protecting a Form Without Macros

Article ID: Q110174

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When a form with information entered in the fields is manually unprotected

and re-protected, the information is lost and the form fields are reset to

their default settings.

WORKAROUND

==========

Locking text form fields prior to protecting the form prevents the entered

text from being lost if the form is unprotected and re-protected. To lock a

text field:

1. Select the field.

2. Press CTRL+F11.

   Note: If Help for WordPerfect Users is selected CTRL+F11  will not

   function.

The information in text fields will not be lost when the document is

protected again, and the fields will function as usual while the form is

being filled out in protected mode.

Warning: This workaround preserves only text fields. Check boxes and drop-

down list selections are still lost when you unprotect and re-protect the

field. A calculation field will no longer update and will maintain the

current value until unlocked, even if it is printed or a macro is run to

update it.

SuperDocStatistics Macro: Purpose, Features, Issues

Article ID: Q110176

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article discusses the purpose, usage, and known support issues for the

SuperDocStatistics macro, supplied with Word 6.0 for Windows in the

MACRO6.DOT file.

PURPOSE AND FEATURES OF THE MACRO

=================================

 - Shows information about the following categories: Standard Bookmarks

   (Word's document statistics and grammar statistics), Fields, Fonts,

   Grammar, Graphics, Links, Objects, Sections, and Tables.

 - Can generate a report on each of the topics above.

 - Allows you to go to document items such as graphics or tables.

KNOWN ISSUES

============

1. Word Basic Error #102 occurs if the grammar checker is not installed.

2. The macro does not generate a font report.

3. The dialog box takes a long time to appear.

4. Improper case is used in the macro's status bar with graphics.

5. Graphics are bookmarked by the macro.

6. Word counts are not as accurate as Word Count.

1. Word Basic Error #102 occurs if the grammar checker is not installed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the grammar checker is not installed, SuperDocStatistics generates a

WordBasic Error #102 (Command Failed) before the initial dialog box

appears. This should only occur if you chose Custom Setup when installing

Word and you did not install the grammar checker (or you installed the

grammar checker and removed it with Setup).

To work around this problem, do one of the following:

 - Install the grammar checker using Word's Setup program.

 - Modify the macro.

Note: The following steps assume you have a basic knowledge of working with

macros. For more information, consult the "Word for Windows Macro Developer

Kit."

To modify the macro, do the following:

1. Copy the macro to your Normal template so it can be edited.

2. Open the macro in an editing window.

3. From the top of the code, search for the text "counttools" (without

   the quotation marks).

4. Insert an apostrophe (') in front of the line to comment it out (that

   is, disable it).

5. Save the macro.

Note: The macro will now start but will still generate a "Command Failed"

error if the Grammar option is chosen. Do not choose the Grammar option.

2. The macro does not generate a font report.

---------------------------------------------

When you select the Create Report option when the font statistics are

shown, the macro generates some heading information for fonts as if it will

create a report, but no information about fonts is actually added to the

report.

3. The dialog box takes a long time to appear.

----------------------------------------------

On systems with low memory or Windows resources, the dialog box may take

considerable time to appear. The macro code itself is lengthy, and there

are many variables that need to be declared. The macro first displays

"Initializing. Please Wait....." on the status bar when it starts. Longer

documents causes the macro to start slower because the macro repaginates

the document when it is started.

4. Improper case is used in the macro's status bar with graphics.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

When the macro reports the number of graphics found in the document, the

singular and plural cases are reversed. For example, the macro will report

"Found 1 graphics" or "Found 2 graphic."

5. Graphics are bookmarked by the macro.

----------------------------------------

The macro will automatically bookmark any graphics it finds in the

document. The bookmarks are called Graphic1, Graphic2, and so forth, and

are left in the document after the macro ends.

6. Word counts are not as accurate as Word Count.

-------------------------------------------------

The word count returned by the macro is not the same as the count returned

by the Word Count feature in Word. Using Word Count from the Tools menu,

returns a more accurate count of words in a document. (The Word Count

results can also be found by choosing Summary Info from the File menu, and

choosing the Statistics button.)

until you reach the next heading (that is, [embedding]).

  [Microsoft Word 2.0]

  INI-path=c:\winword

  programdir=D:\winword

  [embedding]

The majority of the Word 6.0 settings are now stored in either the

WINWORD6.INI or MSTXTCNV.INI files located in your Windows directory

(usually, "C:\WINDOWS").

Note: As always, make a backup copy of your WIN.INI file before making

changes.

Error Using Date Field in Database Query Using ODBC

Article ID: Q110215

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word version 6.0 for Windows, an error message or an incorrect date

formats generated when you specify a date/time field as part of a database

query using ODBC.

CAUSE

=====

Word passes dates and times to the ODBC drivers in an incorrect format.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem:

 - Use Microsoft Query, a tool provided with Excel 5.0, to perform the

   query.

 - Insert the entire database table into a Word document, save it as a Word

   document, and then use that document as a data source. You can then

   perform a query that contains a date field.

 - If the database file is from an application that supports DDE, and the

   database application is on the system, you may be able to use DDE,

   rather than ODBC to query the database. For example, you can use DDE

   with Microsoft Access database files.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Example of Problem and Error Message

------------------------------------

You want to retrieve customer orders placed in 1994. When you choose Query

Options from either Insert Database or Tools Mail Merge and specify to

retrieve records where OrderDate is greater than 12/31/93, you receive an

ODBC error message similar to the following:

   ODBC ERROR:

   Stop -- Syntax Error

Choosing OK results in:

   ODBC ERROR

   Stop -- SELECT "OrderDate", "OrderID" FROM "ORDERS" WHERE (("OrderDate"

   > #12<<???>>/31/93#))

Choosing Details results in:

   ODBC ERROR:[Microsoft][ODBC Single-Tier Driver]

   Stop -- SELECT "OrderDate","OrderID" FROM "ORDERS" WHERE (("OrderDate" >

   #12<<???>>/31/93#))

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word version 6.0 for Windows, the toolbar button labels or Tool Tips may

not be displayed when using Magic Cursor! mouse enhancement software by

Fanfare Software.

CAUSE

=====

The installation program for Magic Cursor! adds the following to the Load=

Error on Novell with Only 51 Directories Specified for Search

Article ID: Q110218

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you are using Novell 3.11 and you access a Novell network drive from the

Word version 6.0 for Windows File Find dialog box, you may receive the

following error message:

   1.1.90 You exceeded your outstanding NCP directory search.

When this error is displayed, only one directory on the network drive and

its subdirectories are listed.

CAUSE

=====

Novell 3.11 can be configured to set the maximum number of NetWare Core

Protocol (NPC) directory searches that can be processed at the same time.

This parameter is:

   Maximum Outstanding NCP Searches = <number>

A NetWare 3.11 server can have between 10 and 1000 directory searches

opened simultaneously, depending on how it is configured; the default is

51. If you have more than this number of search operations simultaneously

occurring, the error message noted above is displayed. You may also have

problems with invalid directory information.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

The system administrator can change the maximum setting for the NCP

searches using one of the two methods listed below. To view the current

configuration for the SET parameters:

1. At the command prompt on the Novell network server that is causing the

   error message noted above, type "set" (without the quotation marks), and

   then press ENTER.

   The Setable configuration parameter categories are displayed.

2. Select the Miscellaneous group by pressing 9 and then pressing ENTER.

3. Choose to view the normal and advanced parameters by pressing Y.

   NOTE: If you press ENTER, only the normal parameters are displayed. The

   parameter that needs to be set is an advanced parameter.

Method 1:  Using the SET Command from the Command Prompt

--------------------------------------------------------

Type the following at the command prompt on the Novell network server that

is causing the error message noted above, and then press ENTER

   set maximum outstanding ncp searches = <number>

where <number> is between 10 and 1000.

The set statement

  set maximum outstanding ncp searches = 200

will set the maximum number of directory searches to 200 only for the

current session; this setting is lost when you restart the server. If you

use this method, you must type this command each time you restart the

server.

Method 2:  Modifying the AUTOEXEC.CNF file with the Novell INSTALL Utility

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the network server that is causing the error message noted above:

1. Type "load install" (without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS command

   prompt and then press ENTER.

2. Select "System Options."

3. Select "Edit AUTOEXEC.CNF file."

4. Switch to the drive where the AUTOEXEC.CNF file is located.

5. Add the SET parameter to the file:

      set maximum outstanding ncp searches = 200

6. Save the file.

7. Type "down" (without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS command prompt

   and then press ENTER to shut down the file server.

8. Reboot the file server.

For a complete description of the processes described above see the "Novell

NetWare 386 System Administration" manual, pages 278-324.

Word Assistant Setup Fails, Cannot Find WINWORD.EXE

Article ID: Q110229

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word Assistant version 1.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run Word Assistant Setup, the following error message occurs:

   Microsoft Word Assistant requires Microsoft Word

   version 6.0, which Setup cannot find on your

   computer. Install Microsoft Word version 6.0, and

   then run Setup again.

CAUSE

=====

 - Word Assistant Setup cannot find WINWORD6.INI, so it cannot determine

   the location of WINWORD.EXE.

   -or-

 - The PROGRAMDIR setting in your WINWORD6.INI file is missing or

   incorrect, so Word Assistant Setup cannot determine the location of

   WINWORD.EXE.

   -or-

 - Your Word program file is named something other than WINWORD.EXE.

WORKAROUND

==========

If your Word 6.0 program file is named something other than WINWORD.EXE,

rename it WINWORD.EXE and rerun Word Assistant Setup.

If your WINWORD6.INI file is missing or damaged, Word 6.0 generates a new

WINWORD6.INI file that contains only the following two lines:

   [Microsoft Word]

   WPHelp=0

To install Word Assistant, add the following line to the [Microsoft Word]

section of WINWORD6.INI:

   PROGRAMDIR=C:\<Word 6.0 Program Directory>

For example, if your Word 6.0 program directory is C:\WINWORD, your

modified WINWORD6.INI file should contain the following information:

   [Microsoft Word]

   PROGRAMDIR=C:\WINWORD

   WPHelp=0

Note: To completely reconstruct your WINWORD6.INI file, rerun Word 6.0

Setup.

MORE INFORMATION

================

If the problem persists after you perform all the procedures in the

"Workaround" section above, you may have a general Setup problem. For

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

After you insert a cross-reference to a heading number in a Word 6.0 for

Windows document, only the last number of the heading number is

displayed.

CAUSE

=====

The Heading Numbering format has been modified.

When you apply the Heading Numbering format, the cross-reference for the

heading number should display the same number as the heading that is being

cross-referenced. The cross-reference feature works properly if the Heading

Numbering formats have not been modified.

Setup Hangs After WordPerfect Help Dialog Box

Article ID: Q110277

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word 6.0 for Windows Setup may hang (stop responding) after the WordPerfect

Help dialog box is displayed (even if you don't choose either button).

CAUSE

=====

This problem can occur in any of the following cases:

 - There is conflict between Word Setup and your system's current

   memory configuration.

 - You are using a third-party shell such as Norton Desktop for Windows.

 - You are using a third-party shell, or your shell file is corrupted.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

If you are using Norton Desktop for Windows, edit the [boot] section of the

SYSTEM.INI file in the Windows directory and change the SHELL= entry from

"shell=ndw.exe" to "shell=progman.exe".

If you encounter this problem and you are not using Norton Desktop for

Windows, you may be able to correct this problem by changing your memory

configuration. For example, free up more conventional memory by loading

MS-DOS into upper memory and loading EMM386.EXE.

If you are running MS-DOS 6.0 or later, run MemMaker. Microsoft MemMaker

will add the appropriate statements to your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT

files to optimize your memory.

If you are running MS-DOS 5.0, add the following lines to your CONFIG.SYS

file:

   dos=high

   device=c:\windows\emm386.exe noems

For more information on optimizing your memory with MS-DOS 5.0, query on

the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   optimizing and blocks and 5.00

If you are running PC DOS, run RAMSETUP. You must remove or disable (using

the REM command) the EMM3896.EXE command from your CONFIG.SYS file before

you run RAMSETUP. For more information about RAMSETUP, refer to your PC-DOS

documentation.

MORE INFORMATION

================

After displaying the WordPerfect Help screen, Word 6.0 Setup tries to

establish a DDE conversation with the Windows Shell (typically Program

Manager [PROGMAN.EXE]) to determine all available groups. Norton Desktop

for Windows doesn't understand some of the DDE commands and hangs.

Error Message Starting Wizard: 1025: Cannot Open Document

Article ID: Q110279

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you try to start a wizard in Word 6.0 for Windows, you may receive the

following error message:

   Error 1025: Cannot open the document

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs when you are not loading Share in the AUTOEXEC.BAT

file.

RESOLUTION

==========

Word version 6.0 requires that you load Share in order to run its wizards

if you are running Word under Windows 3.1.

To add SHARE to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

1. Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

2. Add the entry below, where <dir> is the location of the directory that

   contains your MS-DOS files:

     <dir>\SHARE /L:500 /F:5100

MORE INFORMATION

================

To run Word 6.0 under Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.1 in standard

mode, you must run the MS-DOS SHARE command before starting Windows. Word

uses Share for object linking and embedding (OLE) version 2.0 operations.

Specifically, Share provides the range-locking functionality that Word uses

in compound files. Word 6.0 will not start under Windows 3.1 or Windows for

Workgroups 3.1 in standard mode unless SHARE.EXE is loaded.

You do not need SHARE.EXE if you run Word under Windows for Workgroups 3.1

in enhanced (386) mode or Windows for Workgroups 3.11. Windows for

Workgroups uses a comparable file-sharing utility called VSHARE.386. Word

6.0a includes a version of VSHARE.386 for Windows 3.1 users. If you are

using Word 6.0a and operating Windows in the 386 Enhanced mode, VSHARE.386

replaces the need to load the MS-DOS SHARE utility. Similarly, you do not

need SHARE.EXE if you run Word under Windows NT because this operating

system includes built-in range-locking functionality.

Callout Border Not Affected by Line Style Settings

Article ID: Q110280

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you insert a callout and then format the drawing object to select a line

style in Word 6.0, the line style affects only the polyline portion of the

callout. The border portion of the callout's text box remains unaffected.

This behavior occurs with the Style, Color, and Weight attributes specified

under the Line tab in the Format Drawing Object dialog box.

STATUS

======

This behavior is by design.

WORKAROUND

==========

To have the line attributes affect the text box portion of the callout,

turn on the Text Border option for the callout. To turn on the Text Border

option, choose Drawing Object from the Format menu, select the Size And

Position tab, then choose the Callout button and turn on the Text Border

option. Now the polyline portion and the text box border of the callout

will match.

AT Line in Status Bar May Not Display Correct Value

Article ID: Q110283

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When editing text within a table cell in normal view, the AT value in the

status bar may not display the correct information.

CAUSE

=====

This is caused by the cell flowing from one page to the next. The AT line

displays a position value relative to the page the cell began on. This

situation occurs only in normal view.

RESOLUTION

==========

Edit the table in page layout view.

WordBasic Command to Display Version Number of Word

Article ID: Q110284

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Undoing an Update to an Index May Not Work as Expected

Article ID: Q110300

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

After you update an index to change its format, choosing Undo from the Edit

menu may not restore the index to its prior appearance.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior occurs because inserting an index involves two actions.

First, Word defines the Index Heading automatic style to conform to the

format chosen for the index in the Index And Tables dialog box. Second,

Word compiles and inserts the index in the document. Choosing Undo from the

Edit menu applies the Undo command to the insertion of the index only; it

does not undo the change to the Index Heading style.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Performing a second Undo command should return the index to its original

appearance. You can also perform multiple Undo commands by choosing the

arrow next to the Undo button and then selecting the actions you want to

undo (in this case, the last two).

Text File Larger Than 64K Causes ODBC Error or Hangs System

Article ID: Q110301

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word for Windows can use ODBC text drivers supplied by other applications

to open text data files. However, text-only data files larger than 6500

characters that consist entirely of numbers may cause the system to stop

responding (hang). Also, opening large text files with more than 6500

numeric characters and one or more spaces, commas, or alphabetic characters

may cause the following SQL error message:

   SQL_ERROR S1000 "Field length is > maximum.

   Unable to open table: tablename

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the ODBC drivers. We are

researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes

available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem, open the file in Word by choosing Open from

the File menu. This method uses the Word text converter rather that ODBC

drivers and gives full access to the file information.

MORE INFORMATION

================

This problem occurs due to a limitation of the Microsoft ODBC text

driver.

Cannot Install Word from Different Drive or Network

Article ID: Q110319

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Office and Office Professional for Windows version 3.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you run the Word for Windows Setup program from one disk drive (such as

A), then later run Setup from a different disk drive (such as B) or from a

different network location, Word prompts you to insert the disks in the

drive from which you originally installed Word. Setup gives you no

opportunity to designate a different disk drive.

CAUSE

=====

Setup records the drive from which you originally installed Word in the

SETUP.STF file, which is located in the <WINWORD>\SETUP subdirectory. Setup

refers to this recorded location in subsequent Setup sessions when it

prompts you to insert Word disks.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you want to install Word from a different drive, you must edit your

SETUP.STF file using the following procedure:

1. Exit Word Setup.

2. Make a backup copy of the original SETUP.STF

3. Open the SETUP.STF file in a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft

   Excel or a text editor such as Windows Write.

4. In SETUP.STF, search for "Source Directory" (without the quotation

   marks). This setting is near the beginning of the file.

5. Replace the old drive letter and path with the new one, then save and

   close the file. For example, if you want to use drive B instead of drive

   A to install Word, change the SETUP.STF setting to the following:

      Source Directory   <TAB>   B:\   <TAB>

   Note: In the above example, <TAB> means to press TAB. (This is a three-

   column, tab-delimited text file.)

6. Save the SETUP.STF in a text format from whatever editor you are using.

Boxes Appear in Documents Saved from Word as Text Only

Article ID: Q110321

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Documents opened in Word 6.0 for Windows may display small boxes at the

beginning of the paragraphs.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs when a document containing a table is saved using the

"Text Only" file format.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word writes out a carriage return (CR) instead a carriage return/line feed

(CR/LF) in place of a table cell mark when saving a document as Text Only.

The document ends up with more carriage returns in it than carriage

return/line feed pairs. The next time this file is opened in Word, Word

surveys the file for the type of separators present, if it determines that

the file has predominantly CR separators, it assumes that this is a Mac

text file.

Since Mac text files use only carriage returns as separators, any LF

characters are treated as extraneous and are drawn as boxes. You can delete

these extraneous characters from the file.

Custom Footnote Reference Mark Added to Custom Dictionary

Article ID: Q110323

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A custom footnote reference mark inserted as normal text from the Symbol

dialog box is added to the custom dictionary along with the word it is

placed next to.

CAUSE

=====

When a footnote reference mark is inserted as normal text, the spelling

checker treats the reference mark as it does any word or character other

than symbols. The Symbol font is special in that the characters are

protected. This means you can change the font of a symbol character without

changing the symbol itself. For this reason, the spelling checker does flag

a footnote reference mark if it is inserted from the Symbol character set.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem, use a symbol from the Symbol character set

when you insert special symbols for custom footnote reference marks.

Limitations of Using Smart Cut and Paste

Article ID: Q110332

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following is a list of changes that occur if you enable the Use Smart

Cut And Paste option in Word 6.0:

 - If you have Revision Marks selected, when a word is deleted and marked

   as revised, the space following it is also marked as revised.

 - If you select an area that contains a period and two spaces and then

   copy and paste that selection in the document, the two spaces are

   replaced with one space.

RESOLUTION

==========

To restore Word to its default editing state, clear the Use Smart Cut

And Paste option with the following steps:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2. Choose the Edit tab.

3. Clear the Use Smart Cut And Paste check box. Choose OK.

MORE INFORMATION

================

With Revision Marks selected, if you delete the word "This" in the sentence

"This is a test," the space between "This" and "is" is also marked as

revised. Here is the result of the first behavior listed above:

   This is a test

   is a test (without the space before "is")

The following is an example of the second behavior:

1. Type "This is a test.  " (Be sure to include two spaces following

   period.)

2. Press SHIFT+HOME to select the line.

3. From the Edit menu, choose Copy.

4. Press the End key to move to the end of the line.

5. From the Edit menu, choose Paste three times.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you configure Word 6.0 to automatically insert captions for Microsoft

Word 6.0 documents, and you then insert documents by choosing File from the

Insert menu, captions are NOT automatically added.

CAUSE

=====

By design, Word adds captions to embedded Word document objects only, which

you insert by choosing the Object command from the Insert menu. The

AutoCaption feature does not apply to Word documents you insert directly as

WordBasic Examples Using ODBC: MailMergeOpenDataSource

Article ID: Q110334

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article contains an example that demonstrates the use of the following

WordBasic statement or function:

   MailMergeOpenDataSource

This article supplements the information in online Help. To open this Help

topic, choose Contents from the Help menu and then choose Programming with

Microsoft Word.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

MailMergeOpenDataSource

=======================

Syntax

------

MailMergeOpenDataSource .Name = text [, .ConfirmConversions = number]

[, .ReadOnly = number] [, .LinkToSource = number] [, .AddToMru = number]

[, .PasswordDoc = text] [, .PasswordDot = text] [, .Revert = number]

[, .WritePasswordDoc = text] [, .WritePasswordDot = text]

[, .Connection = text] [, .SQLStatement = text] [, .SQLStatement1 = text]

This macro connects to the Microsoft Access NWIND.MDB database, using the

records in the Customers table as the data source for a Word 6.0 for

Windows Mail Merge:

Sub MAIN

Q$ = Chr$(34)

connect$ = "DSN=MS Access Databases;"

connect$ = connect$ + "DBQ=c:\access\nwind.mdb;"

connect$ = connect$ + "FIL=RedISAM;"

MailMergeOpenDataSource .Name = "c:\access\nwind.mdb", .Connection = \

connect$, .SQLStatement = "SELECT * FROM Customers"

End Sub

The full ODBC connection string above is concatenated to produce:

   DSN=MS Access Databases;DBQ=c:\access\nwind.mdb;FIL=RedISAM

The connection string for the ODBC Microsoft Access driver uses the

following keywords:

   Keyword     Description

   -------     -----------

   DSN         Name of the Microsoft Access data source

   UID         The user login ID

   PWD         The user-specified password

   DBQ         The Microsoft Access database

   FIL         File type (RedISAM)

To use a database that requires both a user login ID and a user-specified

password, add the above keywords to the connection string. For example:

   DSN=MS Access Databases;UID=Smith;PWD=Sesame;DBQ=C:\ACCESS\NWIND.MDB;

   FIL=RedISAM

Cannot Insert FORM Field in Header or Footer

Article ID: Q110342

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You cannot insert a FORM field in a Word header or footer.

CAUSE

=====

By design, Word prevents you from adding a FORM field to a header or footer

because subdocuments are inaccessible while a document is protected for

forms. (To protect a document for forms, choose the Protect Document

command from the Tools menu, select the Forms option, and then choose OK.)

NOTE: As used in this article, the word "subdocument" refers to document

components and not to the documents in a master document. The following

document elements are examples of subdocuments or document components:

headers or footers, footnotes, endnotes, annotations, text boxes, or

callouts.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word prevents you from inserting a FORM field in a subdocument with

either of the following methods: choosing the Form Field command on the

Insert menu and pasting a FORM field from the Clipboard. On the other hand,

Word does not prevent you from inserting a FORM field in a header or footer

(or other subdocument) by using either the AutoCorrect or AutoText command.

However, Word does not activate FORM fields you insert using these methods

and does not move to them when you protect the document for forms, which

means that a FORM field in a header or footer has no functionality once you

protect the document for forms.

Finding and Replacing Text with Revision Marks

Article ID: Q110353

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Because a revision mark is a formatting property, when finding and

replacing text, Word ignores revision marks, even if the text has deletion

revision marks applied to it.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To search for text as it will appear after revision marks are accepted,

choose Find or Replace from the Edit menu, and in the Find What box, press

CTRL+N. The Format box will then display New. This indicates that the

search will be performed on new text (that is, after revision marks).

Pressing CTRL+N again will display Not New, which indicates text before

revision marks (by default). Pressing CTRL+N a third time clears this

property from the Format box.

Embedded Font Displays as Substitution Font

Article ID: Q110354

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you open a document in Word with an embedded font and choose the Font

Substitution button, the font embedded in the document will be shown as the

default substitution for itself. (To locate the Font Substitution button,

choose Options from the Tools menu and select the Compatibility tab.)

CAUSE

=====

The substitute is obtained by asking Windows to load the font in question,

then retrieving the font that Windows actually loaded as a substitute.

Since the embedded font is available, Windows returns that value. There is

no API to ask Windows for a font substitution when the font is available.

STATUS

Boxes Print Instead of Smart Quotes or Publishing Characters

Article ID: Q110355

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Boxes may print instead of typesetters' (or "curly" or "smart quotes")

quotation marks or other publishing characters when you use a nonscalable

font such as Universe or CG Times. The publishing characters will display

correctly on the screen as well as in print preview.

Note: If Smart Quotes display as black boxes when using a TrueType font,

Draft Font has been selected from the Options menu by selecting the View

tab.

CAUSE

=====

The printer driver has a flag set to 0 (zero) for Publishing Characters,

and therefore any publishing character will not print.

The printer driver that may cause this problem is:

   Driver            Version

   ------            -------

   HPPCL5A.DRV           2.1

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Use a TrueType or ATM font. These fonts have smart quotes, so

          they will display and print correctly.

Method 2: Use a printer heuristic to simulate publishing characters. In the

          WINWORD6.INI file, add the following line:

             fAvoidPubCharEsc = +16384

Method 3: Use the following procedure to change the WINWORD6.INI file:

          1. From the File menu, choose Open.

          2. From the List Files Of Type list, select Document Templates.

          3. From the Directories list, select the <WINWORD>\MACROS

             subdirectory.

          4. From the File Name list, select MACRO60.DOT and then choose

             OK.

          5. From the File menu, choose Macros.

          6. From the list of macros, select SetPrintFlags and then choose

             Run.

          7. Select "Simulate Smart Quotes and em dashes in non-scaled

             fonts" to  turn the option on.

          8. Choose OK.

In methods 2 and 3, Word will not use the smart quote characters for this

printer's built in fonts. Instead, Word will simulate smart quotes by

sending two right/left facing single quotation marks, spacing them closely.

Note: Methods 2 and 3 may not work. The font may be missing right- and left-

facing single quotation marks as well.

Spinning Disk Icon Appears in Find File Dialog Box

Article ID: Q110358

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you choose Find File from the File menu, an icon resembling a spinning

disk may appear in the top-right corner of the Find File dialog box, even

if you are not actively searching the drive.

CAUSE

=====

The icon, which resembles the CD-ROM icon used by Windows File Manager, is

actually a representation of generic disk activity. The icon is more likely

to appear if you select File Info from the View list after choosing the

Find File command.

The disk icon will be active much longer when you are accessing remote

drives, floppy disk drives, or any drive where access is slower than the

internal hard drive.

When Word has finished updating the display, the icon will disappear.

Word Assistant: No W.A. Commands Available After Setup

Article ID: Q110371

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you start Word 6.0 for Windows after installing Word Assistant, it

appears as if the Word Assistant has not been installed; the Insert and

Format menus have not been modified to include Special Paper and Font

Selector, respectively.

CAUSE

=====

During setup, Word Assistant may not properly install its .WLL files.

Word Assistant Setup determines the location of the Word for Windows

program directory and expects to see a STARTUP subdirectory beneath it. If

this directory is not detected, Word Assistant creates a new STARTUP

subdirectory and installs the .WLL files into it. Word Assistant then

modifies the WINWORD6.INI file to redirect the STARTUP-PATH to a directory

other than the default STARTUP directory.

Word queries the WINWORD6.INI file to determine the location of the STARTUP

directory and runs any add-ons and .WLL files that it finds. Because

Word Assistant installs its .WLL files into a new STARTUP directory,

Word cannot find them.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem, run Windows File Manager and move the .WLL

files from the newly created <WinWord>\STARTUP subdirectory into the

directory specified by STARTUP-PATH in the WINWORD6.INI file.

You can also reset the STARTUP-PATH to point to the newly created

<WinWord>\STARTUP subdirectory by modifying the WINWORD6.INI file within

Word for Windows. To do so:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2. Select the File Locations tab.

3. Select Startup and then choose the Modify button.

4. Set the "Location of Startup" to the <WinWord>\STARTUP subdirectory (for

   example, "C:\WINWORD\STARTUP" [without the quotation marks]).

5. Choose OK.

 - The Create <document type> option doesn't allow you to select a new main

   document. The macro automatically changes the active window to a mail

   merge main document.

 - The Restore To Normal Word document does not offer a confirmation

   dialog box. The macro immediately removes all data file and header file

   information.

 - The Edit Data Source button opens the data source in View Source mode

   rather than the Data Form dialog box. To open the file in the Data Form

   dialog box, choose the Data Form button on the Mail Merge toolbar.

Word 6.0 Ruler Supports Only Mouse Commands

Article ID: Q110376

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 has no ruler mode as Word 2.0 for Windows does. (In

Word 2.0, you can press CTRL+SHIFT+F10 to make the ruler active using the

keyboard.) The ruler in Word 6.0 is accessible only by using a mouse.

Microsoft increased the functionality of the ruler in Word 6.0 as the

result of customer feedback. The additional mouse functionality required a

loss of keyboard functionality to prevent too much complexity. As a result,

there is no longer a ruler mode you can activate to allow setting tabs and

indents directly from the keyboard.

MORE INFORMATION

================

New functions and changes to the Word 6.0 ruler include:

 - The indent and margin modes were combined.

 - You automatically switch to table mode when in a table.

 - Page layout view now has a vertical ruler.

 - You can set all indents using the mouse without keyboard intervention.

   (Previously you had to hold down the SHIFT key to drag the body indent

   triangle.)

 - You can choose the type of tab from the ruler.

 - The visual style has been improved to make it easier to use.

To set all paragraph settings using the keyboard, choose either Paragraph

or Tabs from the Format menu.

ToolsAdvancedSettings Command Writes to WINWORD6.INI

Article ID: Q110378

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0 and 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you use the ToolsAdvancedSettings to write to an .INI file, the

information is written to the WINWORD6.INI by default unless another .INI

file is specified in the .Application parameter.

RESOLUTION

==========

To write to an .INI file other than WINWORD6.INI, specify the filename with

the .Application parameter. For example, the following macro line writes to

the WINWORD6.INI since no other .INI file is specified in the .Application

parameter:

   ToolsAdvancedSettings .Application = "Doc2Help", .Option =

   "ThisIsATest", .Setting = "test"

The following example writes to the WIN.INI file:

   ToolsAdvancedSettings .Application = "Doc2Help (WIN.INI)", .Option=

   "ThisIsATest", .Setting = "test"

Heading 1 Style Starts with "2" When Numbered

Article ID: Q110380

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use heading numbering in Word 6.0 for Windows, if any heading

style (Heading 1-9) appears in the text before a Heading 1 paragraph, then

the Heading 1 paragraph will be numbered "2" when you apply heading

numbering.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior is by design in Word 6.0 and is different from behavior seen

in earlier versions of Word. In earlier versions, heading numbering did not

increment the numbering for the Heading 1 style based on the existence of a

lower style (Heading 2, for instance) preceding Heading 1 in the document.

The result in earlier versions of Word is that the first Heading 1

paragraph would be numbered "1."

In Word 6.0, the first Heading 1 paragraph when preceded by a lower style

starts with "2" because of the EXISTENCE of another heading paragraph

earlier, not because of how many earlier heading paragraphs there are. For

example, if you have five paragraphs formatted with the following heading

styles

   Heading 2

   Heading 2

   Heading 2

   Heading 2

   Heading 1

the result after numbering is that the Heading 1 paragraph is numbered as

"2," not "5."

WORKAROUNDS

===========

This behavior may cause a problem in Word 6.0 when you use chapter-page

numbering in your document. Heading 1 is usually used to mark the start of

a chapter, so whenever another heading style appears before the first

Heading 1 paragraph, Word numbers the first chapter number as "2." To

work around this problem, use one of the following procedures:

Method 1: Rearrange your document so the Heading 1 paragraph is the first

          heading-level paragraph in your document. If this is not

          possible, use Method 2 below instead.

Method 2: a. Position the insertion point at the beginning of the Heading 1

             paragraph.

          b. From the Insert menu, choose Break. Select the Continuous

             option and then choose OK.

          c. From the Format menu, choose Heading Numbering. Choose the

             Modify button.

          d. In the Modify Heading Numbering dialog box, select the

             "Restart Numbering at Each New Section" option and then

             choose OK.

          Note: This workaround is inappropriate for multiple-section

          documents that depend on continuous numbering.

REM Command Splits Long WordBasic Commands into Two Pieces

Article ID: Q110396

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you have a WordBasic command that is longer than 255 characters, and you

use the REM/Un-REM feature on this command, when you start the macro, the

WordBasic command will be split into two paragraph.

CAUSE

=====

When you apply a REM to the long WordBasic command, you will get a

paragraph mark and an apostrophe at the location after the 255th character

as soon as you choose the Start button to run the macro. If you then Un-

REM the statement, the first part of the command gets Un-REM'ed and the

second part does not.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 and 6.0a. We

are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Rather then using the REM/Un-REM feature, manually type in (or remove) the

REM at the start of the command.

Toolbar Button Disappears or Is Placed on the Wrong Toolbar

Article ID: Q110397

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

 - In Word 6.0, if you are adding a new button to a toolbar and the button

   touches an adjacent toolbar before you drop it in place, the button may

   be placed on the adjacent toolbar instead of its intended location.

   -or-

 - If you drop a button before placing it in a toolbar (for example, over

   the document area or dialog box), it disappears.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word for Windows

version 6.0.

RESOLUTION

==========

Precise placement of the button is the only workaround for the first

problem.

In the second situation, the button is still available and can be retrieved

from the Customize dialog by choosing the Toolbars tab, reselecting the

appropriate category and button, and dragging it successfully to the

intended toolbar.

Heading Numbering Does Not Copy to Another Document

Article ID: Q110399

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 for Windows, heading numbering cannot be copied from one

document to another. If you format a heading in a Word document with the

Heading Numbering command and then copy it to a new document, the numbering

is lost, although the heading formatting is preserved. (To access the

Heading Numbering command, open the Format menu.)

RESOLUTION

==========

To correct this problem, reapply the heading numbering (choose Heading

Numbering from the Format menu), or save the original document and then

insert it in the new document (choose File from the Insert menu).

MORE INFORMATION

================

Paragraph marks and section breaks contain most types of formatting in

Word. Usually, if paragraph marks and section breaks are copied from one

document to another, the formatting also carries over to the second

document. This is not the case with heading numbering.

Delete Button Does Not Change in Grammar Checker

Article ID: Q110400

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you are grammar checking a sentence that contains a word the grammar

checker suggests you delete, you can choose the Delete button to delete the

highlighted word. If instead, you manually edit the sentence in the

Sentence box, the Delete button in the dialog does not change back to a

Change button as expected. Instead, the Delete button functions as the

Change option.

For example, the grammar checker will suggest in the following sentence

that the sentence is too wordy and that you should consider deleting the

word "as" to correct the problem:

   I consider you as my most interesting friend.

If instead of choosing the Delete button, you manually delete the word "as"

in the Sentence box, the Delete button remains available.

Cannot Change Second Special Paper Design If First Was Deleted

Article ID: Q110401

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Word Assistant version 1.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you press the BACKSPACE key to delete a Special Paper design, subsequent

inserted designs cannot be selected or deleted until you first delete the

anchor associated with the first design.

RESOLUTION

==========

If you have used the BACKSPACE key to delete a Special Paper design, you

must select the anchor of the first design and delete it before you insert

the second design. To delete the anchor, select it with the mouse and then

press the DEL key,

To avoid this problem, always use the DEL key to remove Special Paper

designs.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Special Paper designs are inserted in a text box in the drawing layer of

Word 6.0 for Windows. If you insert a Special Paper design, and the design

is later deleted by pressing the BACKSPACE key, a paragraph mark is

retained in the text box along with its associated anchor. When you insert

a second Special Paper design in the document, the paragraph mark and

anchor remain. Because of the previous text box, the second Special Paper

design cannot be selected or deleted.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The WordBasic DlgFilePreview statement is used within a Word 6.0 for

Windows dialog function to preview the document specified by Filename$.

However, if you specify a document filename to preview with the

DlgFilePreview statement and no document windows are open, the

DlgFilePreview statement generates the following error:

Responding to a Double-Click in a Dialog Function List Box

Article ID: Q110415

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In most of Microsoft Word's dialog boxes, you can select a list box item by

double-clicking the list box text. You can create the same affect using a

dialog function in Word 6.0.

MORE INFORMATION

================

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

When dialog action 2 occurs, the following macro example checks the

ControlID$ value and the dialog identifier with the focus. When the

ControlID$ value = "OK" and the focus is on the "ListBox1" dialog

identifier, the message "You double-clicked on item xxx" is displayed.

Sub MAIN

Dim ListBox1$(2)

ListBox1$(0) = "List item 1"

ListBox1$(1) = "List item 2"

ListBox1$(2) = "List item 3"

Begin Dialog UserDialog 281, 210, "Double-Click Example", .dialogbox

  ListBox 10, 6, 160, 120, ListBox1$(), .ListBox1

  OKButton 182, 7, 88, 21

  CancelButton 182, 31, 88, 21

End Dialog

Dim UDdlg As UserDialog

n = Dialog(UDdlg)

End Sub

Function DialogBox(id$, action, suppval)

Select Case Action

Case 2

 If id$ = "OK" And DlgFocus$() = "ListBox1" Then

  MsgBox "You double-clicked on " + DlgText$("ListBox1")

  DialogBox = 1

 End If

Case Else

End Select

End Function

If you don't want to include an OK button in your dialog, use dialog action

1 to change the text of the OK button when the dialog is initialized. For

example:

Sub MAIN

Dim ListBox1$(2)

ListBox1$(0) = "List item 1"

ListBox1$(1) = "List item 2"

ListBox1$(2) = "List item 3"

Begin Dialog UserDialog 281, 210, "Double-Click Example", .dialogbox

  ListBox 10, 6, 160, 120, ListBox1$(), .ListBox1

  OKButton 182, 7, 88, 21

  CancelButton 182, 31, 88, 21

End Dialog

Dim UDdlg As UserDialog

n = Dialog(UDdlg)

End Sub

Function DialogBox(id$, action, suppval)

Select Case Action

Case 1

 DlgText "OK", "Open"

Case 2

 If id$ = "OK" And DlgFocus$() = "ListBox1" Then

  MsgBox "You double-clicked on " + DlgText$("ListBox1")

  DialogBox = 1

 End If

Case Else

End Select

End Function

For more information, see "Responding to a Double-Click" in Chapter 5

Name Truncated on Custom Text Toolbar Button

Article ID: Q110416

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you create a custom text button for a toolbar, the toolbar text may

become truncated after you switch to a new video driver and restart Word

for Windows.

CAUSE

=====

If you create your custom text button while the "small fonts" version of a

video driver is running, then switch to the "large fonts" version of the

video driver, the toolbar text no longer fits in the button, so some

letters at the beginning and end of the button text are cut off. Word does

not adjust the size of the toolbar button to accommodate the new font size.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To correct the problem, modify the toolbar button using the following

procedure:

1. Display the toolbar that contains the button you want to modify (use the

   Toolbars command on the View menu).

2. From the Tools menu, choose Customize.

3. Select the Toolbars tab.

4. With the mouse, select the toolbar button you want to modify.

5. Point to the right edge of the button. When the mouse pointer shape

   changes to a two-headed arrow, drag the button to a new width.

6. In the Tools Customize dialog box, choose the Close button.

An alternative workaround is to delete the toolbar button and re-create

it.

Setup Installs MSAPPS on Network Server Instead of Hard Disk

Article ID: Q110417

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Setup may install the Word for Windows shared applications (namely

Microsoft WordArt, Microsoft Equation Editor, Microsoft Graph, and the text

and graphics converters, collectively known as MSAPPS) on a network server

instead of your local hard drive.

Note: The default location of the shared applications is the

<WINDOWS>\MSAPPS subdirectory.

CAUSE

=====

Prior to installing Word, if you performed a workstation installation of an

application (such as Microsoft Publisher or Microsoft Excel) that placed

shared applications on a network server or shared drive, your WIN.INI and

REG.DAT files point to the network location of those shared applications.

By design, when you install Word, Setup searches for an existing shared

applications location and installs its shared applications in that

location. This decision is based on the (usually valid) assumption that you

want to keep all your shared applications together in the same location.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you want Word Setup to place your shared applications in a different

location, do one of the following:

1. Use the Setup program from the other application to uninstall the

   shared applications from their network server location. Then run

   Word Setup to install these applications locally.

   -or-

2. Remove all the references to those applications from your WIN.INI

   and REG.DAT files before you run Setup.

   Use Registration Information Editor (REGEDIT.EXE) to modify your REG.DAT

   file; use System Configuration Editor (SYSEDIT.EXE) or any text editor

   to modify your WIN.INI file. To start REGEDIT.EXE or SYSEDIT.EXE, use

   the Run command on the File menu in Windows Program Manager.

Note: With either of these workarounds, the shared applications always run

from the location where Word installed them, even when you start them from

another application. You can no longer start these shared applications from

their original network server location. For example, if you start a

workstation installation of Microsoft Publisher (which installed Microsoft

WordArt on the server), and then start WordArt, WordArt runs from the hard

drive location--where Word installed it--instead of the server location.

Tabs Not Included in Table of Contents or Index

Article ID: Q110418

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If text in a table of contents or index entry contains a tab, Word does not

include that tab in the compiled table of contents.

CAUSE

=====

This is a design feature of Word. By removing tabs from your table of

contents or index entries, Word eliminates the possibility of awkward or

inappropriate spacing in your compiled table of contents, especially where

custom tab settings are concerned.

Note: This functionality differs from that of Word 2.x for Windows, which

includes tabs in the compiled table of contents.

Troubleshooting Word 6.0 for Windows Setup Problems

Article ID: Q110420

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes common Setup problems you may encounter when you

install Word for Windows. Use this article as a troubleshooting guide to

assist you in diagnosing and resolving these problems. In many cases, this

article refers you to another Microsoft Knowledge Base article that

addresses a particular Setup problem in greater detail.

This article contains the following four sections:

 - General Troubleshooting

 - Setup Stops or Hangs Your Computer

 - Setup Error Messages

 - Cannot Start Word After Successfully Completing Setup

GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING

=======================

You can resolve most Setup problems, regardless of their specific cause,

using these General Troubleshooting procedures. If you do not find

information about your particular Setup problem in the remaining sections

of this article or in other Microsoft Knowledge Base articles, use these

General Troubleshooting steps and then run Setup again.

IMPORTANT: If you modify your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file using any of

the troubleshooting steps below, be sure to restart (reboot) your computer

so the changes can take effect.

 1. Make sure your PATH statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file includes the

    location of your Windows program directory and your MS-DOS directory

    (or the location of SHARE.EXE), including the drive letter. If the PATH

    statement includes the Windows program directory without the drive (for

    example, "\WINDOWS" instead of "C:\WINDOWS"), Windows may set the

    WINDIR variable incorrectly. If your PATH statement does not include

    the directory where SHARE.EXE is located (usually the MS-DOS

    directory), Setup may be unable to locate the SHARE utility. In either

    case, Setup may fail.

    Correct PATH statement example:

       PATH C:\WINDOWS;C:\DOS

    Incorrect PATH statement example (drive letter missing):

      PATH \DOS;\WINDOWS

    Note: WINDIR is an environment variable set by Windows, based on the

    path in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

 2. Start Windows with Program Manager as the shell instead of a third-

    party Windows shell application such as Norton Desktop for Windows

    (NDW.EXE) or Central Point PC Tools Desktop (WNDT.EXE). To use Windows

    Program Manager as the shell instead of a different application,

    modify the SHELL setting in the [Boot] section of your SYSTEM.INI

    file to the following:

      [Boot]

      SHELL=PROGMAN.EXE

   IMPORTANT: You must exit and restart Windows after you modify SYSTEM.INI

   so the change can take effect.

 3. Replace any third-party extended and upper memory managers (such as

    QEMM) with the MS-DOS extended-memory manager (HIMEM.SYS) and upper

    memory manager (EMM386.EXE). In addition, make sure your EMM386.EXE

    settings are correct. For more information about EMM386.EXE, refer to

    your MS-DOS documentation.

 4. Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and remove or remark out (using the REM

    command) the SMARTDRV.EXE line.

 5. Disable any virus-scanning software in your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT

    files. After you run Setup, you can re-enable the virus-scanning

    software.

 6. Quit Windows and restart in standard mode (type "win /s" [without the

    quotation marks] at the MS-DOS prompt).

 7. Remove any SUBST or ASSIGN commands from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If

    necessary, you can restore these commands after you run Word Setup.

 8. If you are using a video driver supplied with your computer, switch to

    the Windows video driver for your video display type (such as VGA).

 9. If you are running MS-DOS version 6.0 or later, and if you are not

    using a third-party memory manager (such as QEMM), run the MS-DOS

    MEMMAKER utility. Sometimes Setup runs correctly after running

    MEMMAKER, especially in cases where Setup has hung after you responded

    (either Yes or No) to the WordPerfect Help prompt. If you are running

    IBM PC-DOS, use the RAMSETUP utility instead; see your PC-DOS

    documentation for information about RAMSETUP.

10. Check the TEMP setting in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Make sure it points

    to a valid location on a drive with at least 6 to 8 MB available disk

    space. If the TEMP setting is invalid or missing, modify your

    AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

11. Make sure the PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file or the SET PATH

    statement in your CONFIG.SYS file does not contain more than 128

    characters. The SHARERES.DLL file used by Word does not support a PATH

    statement longer than 128 characters.

    Note: You might have a PATH statement longer than 128 characters if you

    run Microsoft Windows NT version 3.1. If you are running MS-DOS version

    6.0 or 6.2, you can use a SET statement in your CONFIG.SYS file to set

    a PATH longer than 128 characters. Some third-party applications, such

    as NDOS, by Norton Utilities, or 4DOS, by JP Software, Inc., support

    longer PATH statements.

12. Check your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to make sure the location of SHARE.EXE is

    in your PATH statement. Setup needs to find SHARE in order to add it to

    your system configuration.

13. Verify that your Windows swap file is permanent instead of temporary.

    It may help to enlarge the swap file. Refer to your Windows

    documentation for more information about the Windows swap file.

14. Run the MS-DOS SCANDISK utility (MS-DOS version 6.2 and later only) to

    diagnose and repair any hard disk problems on the drive where you want

    to install Word. See your MS-DOS documentation for information about

    SCANDISK.

15. Run the MS-DOS DEFRAG utility (MS-DOS version 6.0 and later only) to

    reorganize the files on your hard disk and to optimize disk

    performance. See your MS-DOS documentation for information about

    DEFRAG.

16. If the computer has a Turbo mode, turn it off, either by resetting the

    switch and restarting the machine or resetting the CMOS switch.

17. Verify that the SYSTEM.DRV line is correct in the SYSTEM.INI. In the

[boot] section of the SYSTEM.INI the line should read as follows:

   [boot]

   system.drv=system.drv

SETUP STOPS OR HANGS YOUR COMPUTER

==================================

 1. Symptom: During Complete/Custom Installation, Setup hangs after you

    select the Word components to install and choose the Continue button.

    -or-

    During Typical Installation, Setup hangs after you choose the Yes or No

    button in the dialog box that asks if you want to install WordPerfect

    Help.

    -or-

    During Laptop Installation, Setup hangs after you choose the LapTop

    Installation button.

   Resolution: Use General Troubleshooting steps in the preceding section.

 2. Symptom: When you insert Disk 2 and press ENTER to continue, Setup

    hangs.

    Resolution: Add the MS-DOS DRIVPARM command to your CONFIG.SYS file.

    If a physical drive is not reading a disk properly and the disk is not

    physically defective, the MS-DOS DRIVPARM command in the CONFIG.SYS

    file often corrects the problem. The DRIVPARM command modifies the

    parameters of an existing physical drive; it does not create a new

    logical drive. The settings specified in the DRIVPARM command override

    the driver definitions for any previous block device.

    Add the DRIVPARM command to your CONFIG.SYS file using the following

    syntax:

       DRIVPARM=/d:number /f:factor

    For more information about the DRIVPARM command, see your MS-DOS

    documentation.

 3. Symptom: When you insert Disk 1 and press ENTER to continue, Setup

    hangs.

    Resolution: On some clone computers, the BIOS may be out of date. Check

    the date and revision number of the BIOS of your computer to ensure

    that it is current (BIOS information usually appears on the screen when

    you start your computer.

 4. Symptom: Setup hangs after you respond (either Yes or No) to

    the WordPerfect Help prompt.

    Resolution: Use General Troubleshooting steps in the preceding section.

SETUP ERROR MESSAGES

====================

 1. Symptom: Setup may display one of the following types of error message:

    Setup has encountered a problem. Please report

    file = '<filename>', line = 'NN' to Microsoft Product

    Support Services.

    -or-

    <Type of Error> Object ID <####>: <Description>

    Note: In these error messages, <Type of Error> describes the general

    nature of the problem (such as "Setup Parse Error" or "Setup Error in

    Finalize Pass"); <####> is the number of a line in the SETUP.STF file;

    and <Description> describes precisely which process failed.

    Resolution: Query on the error message in the Microsoft Knowledge Base

    and follow any instructions you find for the specific error message. If

    your error message is undocumented in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, use

    the "General Troubleshooting" steps above in this article.

    For additional assistance in resolving these Setup error messages,

    query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

       cryptic and

 2. Symptom: WWINTL.DLL file error messages.

    Workaround 1: If you participated in prerelease testing of Word 6.0,

    you may have a prereleased (Beta) version of Word on your system. If

    so, remove this version and install the retail version.

    Workaround 2: If you used the Word 6.0a patch disk to upgrade your

    installation of Word 6.0 to Word 6.0a and a "wrong WWINTL.DLL" error

    occurs when you try to start Word, you may have a bad Word 6.0a patch

    disk. This problem does not occur when you run the patch that you

    downloaded from an online service such as MSDL or CompuServe. It only

    happens when you run the patch from a disk sent to you by Microsoft.

    To get Word 6.0 running again, you must run the Word Setup program and

    remove the Microsoft Word component. Then run Setup a second time and

    reinstall the Microsoft Word component. For detailed instructions,

    query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

       bad and word and 6.0a and patch and disk and wwintl.dll

    If you received a bad Word 6.0a Patch disk, Microsoft is sending you a

    replacement disk. You don't need to do anything further to obtain this

    corrected patch disk.

 3. Symptom: Compliance Checking error messages. If you purchased an

    upgrade to Word 6.0, Setup requests verification of your eligibility to

    upgrade and may prompt you to insert one of the disks from a previous

    version of Word or another eligible word processing application. This

    process, known as "compliance checking," confirms that you are using

    Word 6.0 in compliance with applicable copyright laws.

    Resolution: The U.S. (domestic) edition of Word 6.0 uses lenient

    compliance checking, which means that, even if you do not provide the

    appropriate disk, Setup installs Word. You can either insert the

    requested disk or choose the Continue button to finish installing Word.

    Some international, localized versions of Word use strict compliance

    checking, which means that Setup does not install Word until you

    provide verification of your eligibility to upgrade.

 4. Symptom: The following error message appears at the end of Word Setup:

       Cannot modify SETUP.STF

    Workaround: This error message does not prevent Setup from successfully

    installing Word. Choose the OK button to close this error message.

 5. Symptom: The following error message appears during Setup:

       Setup detected older foreign language proofing tools that are

       incompatible with Microsoft Word 6.0.  To upgrade these

       tools, please call Microsoft Customer Service or your

       local subsidiary.  Choose Cancel to Exit Setup.

    Workaround: Remove these foreign language proofing tool files, from

    Word 2.x, then rerun Word 6.0 Setup.

 6. Symptom: Memory or disk space errors during Word or Office Setup.

    Workaround: Ensure you have sufficient disk space on the drive

    where Setup is writing temporary files. Setup writes temporary

    files to the last available drive letter (for example, if you

    have drives C:, D:, H:, and K:, Setup writes temporary files

    to K:).

    Note: Some of these error messages incorrectly refer to low memory

    instead of insufficient disk space.

CANNOT START WORD AFTER SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING SETUP

=====================================================

 1. If Word 2.x is installed on your system, rename your Word 2.x

    WINWORD.INI and NORMAL.DOT files to rule out the possibility that these

    files are affecting Word 6.0.

 2. Switch to a different Windows printer driver using the Printers icon in

    Windows Control Panel. This rules out the possibility that your printer

    driver is affecting Word 6.0.

 3. If general protection (GP) faults or "Out of Memory" error messages

    occur after you start Word 6.0, check the FILES and BUFFERS settings in

    your CONFIG.SYS file. Set FILES=60 in your CONFIG.SYS file unless you

    have a software application that requires a higher setting. Set

    BUFFERS=10 in your CONFIG.SYS file if you use SMARTDRV.EXE. Using a

    high number of buffers with SMARTDRV will decrease efficiency. If you

    are not using SMARTDRV, set BUFFERS=30. More buffers may improve disk

    access times but will use more conventional memory. See your MS-DOS

    documentation for more information on the correct FILES and BUFFERS

    settings for your computer.

 4. If "Segment Load Failure" errors occur when you run Word, even after

    you uninstall and reinstall the Word Program component, delete the

    following files and then reinstall Word to rule out the possibility

    that any of these required component files is corrupted or damaged:

       COMPOBJ.DLL

       OLE2.DLL

       OLE2.REG

       OLE2CONV.DLL

       OLE2DISP.DLL

       OLE2NLS.DLL

       OLE2PROX.DLL

       SDM.DLL

       STORAGE.DLL

       WWINTL.DLL

       WINWORD.EXE

Cannot Use Network Variables in Setup Script (SETUP.STF)

Article ID: Q110421

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A workstation installation of Word for Windows fails if you use variables

in your SETUP.STF file. For example, if you use the following path in your

SETUP.STF file, Setup fails because the path contains a Novell-type

variable (%Username%):

   F:\USER\%Username%\WINWORD

CAUSE

=====

Setup does not support the use of variables in the SETUP.STF file. As a

result, you cannot use variables to create a single SETUP.STF file to

install Word on all your network workstations.

WORKAROUND

==========

You can create a single SETUP.STF file to install Word on all your network

workstations if all the workstations map the same drive letter to their

user directories. For example, if you map U: to the user directory for each

workstation (that is, U: = \\SERVER\SHARE!USER\USERNAME), you can use

"U:\WINWORD" in SETUP.STF to specify the directory where Setup will install

Word. Setup will install Word in the \\SERVER\SHARE!USER\USERNAME\WINWORD

subdirectory.

For more information on modifying SETUP.STF, query on the following words

in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Setup Error: "Cannot write to WIN.INI..."

Article ID: Q110422

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following error message may occur when you run Word for Windows Setup:

   Setup Error: Cannot write to INI file: WIN.INI, section MSAPPS,

   key MSAPPS.

CAUSE

=====

This error occurs if your WIN.INI file is flagged as read-only.

 -or-

This error occurs if your WIN.INI file is too large (65,536 bytes is the

maximum file size).

RESOLUTION

==========

Remove the read-only file attribute using Windows File Manager, then

rerun Word Setup.

Grammar Checker Replaces Smart Quotes with Standard Quotes

Article ID: Q110437

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you have "smart quotes" quotation marks (also called "curly quotes") in

your document and you run the grammar checker, the smart quotes are

replaced with standard quotation marks.

CAUSE

=====

The current grammar module, supplied by Houghton Miflin, recognizes smart

quotes and changes them to standard quotation marks.

WORKAROUND

==========

There are no options to prevent the grammar checker from changing your

quotation mark type. However, you can work around this problem by using the

Word search-and-replace feature to replace the standard quotation marks

with smart quotes. To do so:

1. After the grammar checker replaces the smart quotes with standard

   quotation marks, choose Replace from the Edit menu.

2. In the Find What box, type standard quotation marks (").

3. In the Replace With box, type "^0148" (without the quotation marks).

4. Choose Replace or Replace All.

Last Digit in Table Cell Doesn't Print to PCL Printer

Article ID: Q110439

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The last digit (on the right side of the cell) may be truncated when you

print a table to a PCL (non-PostScript) printer from Word for Windows.

For example, "5678" prints as "567" (the 8 does not print).

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs if:

 - The Space Between Columns is set to 0, and the cell text is right

   justified.

   -or-

 - Numbers are pushed to the right edge of the table cell using a

   decimal tab.

This problem occurs when you print a document based on the INVOICE.DOT

template, which is supplied with Word. In the Invoice # and Date fields,

the last character does not print.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word version 6.0

for Windows. This problem was corrected in the version of INVOICE.DOT that

is included with the Word 6.0a disk set. This correction is not included on

the Word 6.0a patch disk.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

In table cells where you apply right alignment paragraph formatting, choose

Paragraph from the Format menu, change the Right Indentation paragraph

setting to .05 inch, and then choose OK.

If the Space Between Columns is set to 0 and the cell text is right

justified, use the following instructions to change the Space Between

Columns setting to at least .01" (inch):

1. Select the table.

2. From the Table menu, choose Cell Height And Width.

3. Select the Column tab.

4. In the Space Between Columns box, type ".01 in" (without the quotation

   marks) and choose OK.

   NOTE: You may need to increase this value to .03 inch in some

   situations.

   This causes the table to be adjusted by .01 inch. The visible

   differences should be very minor.

5. Print the document again. It should print correctly.

If numbers are pushed to the right edge of the table cell using a decimal

tab, increase the column width slightly using the following procedure:

1. Position the insertion point in the column that contains the truncated

   digit.

2. From the Table menu, choose Select Column.

3. From the Table menu, choose Cell Height And Width.

4. Select the Column tab.

5. Increase the column width. About .1-inch increase per cut-off digit

   is a good starting estimate.

   The table will adjust slightly, but the difference should be very

   minor.

6. Print the document again. It should print correctly.

MORE INFORMATION

================

This problem does not occur with the same settings when you print to a

PostScript printer.

Font Not on Substitutions List Still Available

Article ID: Q110442

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A font contained in a document may appear missing from the Font

Substitutions dialog box. The correct font, however, appears both on screen

and when the document is printed.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior occurs when the following two conditions are met:

 - The font referred to is a non-TrueType font.

 - "Show Only TrueType Fonts in Applications" is selected in the Fonts

   section of the Control Panel.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word has no way of knowing that "Show Only TrueType Fonts in Applications"

is selected. Windows simply refrains from listing non-TrueType fonts when

Word asks for a list of fonts.

Word considers any font in the document, but not listed, as missing.

However, when Word asks Windows to load the font, it actually does. Thus,

the same font is substituted for the missing font, and the proper font is

displayed and printed.

Letter Wizard Produces Error Messages

Article ID: Q110443

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you try to create a new document with the Letter Wizard, you may

receive one of the following error messages:

 - The wizard cannot find the style template letter2.

   -or-

 - The wizard cannot find this letter. Please choose another.

CAUSE

=====

The wizard cannot find the style template letter2

-------------------------------------------------

 - The Letter Wizard cannot locate the required templates it needs to

   complete the wizard. The templates the wizard is searching for are

   LETTER1.DOT, LETTER2.DOT, and LETTER3.DOT. If these templates are not in

   the <WINWORD>\TEMPLATES subdirectory as specified by the Tools, Options,

   File Locations, then the wizard is unable to locate the above listed

   templates and generates the error message noted above.

   -or-

 - The CONFIG.SYS file does not contain the line:

      DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS

   When this command is missing, you cannot perform certain file input and

   output (I/O) operations. It is necessary for local as well as network

   I/O operations.

The wizard cannot find this letter

----------------------------------

The Letter Wizard cannot locate the prewritten letter template files. The

Letter Wizard looks to the <WINWORD>\LETTERS subdirectory, by default, for

all of the prewritten letters.

RESOLUTION

==========

Increase the FILES setting in your CONFIG.SYS  to 60. Use a text editor to

place the following line in your CONFIG.SYS:

   FILES=60

The wizard cannot find the style template letter2

-------------------------------------------------

Situation 1: To correct this problem, move the LETTER1.DOT, LETTER2.DOT,

             and LETTER3.DOT templates back to the directory specified

             in the Tools, Options, File Locations template path.

Situation 2: Open your CONFIG.SYS file in a text editor such as Windows

             Notepad and add the following line

                DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS

             where "C:\WINDOWS" is your Windows program directory.

The wizard cannot find this letter

----------------------------------

To correct this problem, ensure that the prewritten letter templates are in

the <WINWORD>\LETTERS subdirectory, or modify the WORDWIZ.INI file to add

the path for the prewritten letter template files. To modify the

WORDWIZ.INI file:

1. Run Notepad and edit the WORDWIZ.INI file from the Windows directory.

2. Locate the [Letter Wizard] section and add the "letters-path=<path>"

   line. For example:

      [Letter Wizard]

      letters-path=<path>

   where <path> is the full path to where the prewritten letter templates

   can be found.

3. Save the WORDWIZ.INI file, and exit Notepad.

Machine Beeps When Using Mouse Buttons with Macro Recorder On

Article ID: Q110444

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you start the macro recorder and then try to open a shortcut menu by

clicking the right mouse button or using the OPTION key and the mouse

button in Word for the Macintosh, Word beeps.

CAUSE

=====

Shortcut menus are context sensitive, which means that Word determines

which menu to open based on the selection you click with the mouse.

While the macro recorder is running, you cannot use the mouse to move the

insertion point or select text, so, by design, you cannot open a

shortcut menu that is based on a mouse selection.

Note: When you record a macro, you can still use the mouse to choose

commands or to scroll with the scroll bar.

Find File Containing Text Field: Only Special Characters Work

Article ID: Q110445

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you try to search for certain characters in summary fields in the

Advanced Search criteria of File Find, Word reports "No matching files

found," even if files containing those characters exist in the

directory.

The reserved characters that Word doesn't find include the question mark

(?), asterisk (*), quotation mark ("), backslash (\), ampersand (&), tilde

(~), and space ( ). If you try to search for any of these characters by

typing a backslash before it, as suggested in Online Help, Word will not

find the file.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

This is not a problem with Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem, search for the characters using the Containing

Text field.

Word Does Not Check Available Disk Space Before Saving File

Article ID: Q110447

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have less disk space available than is necessary for Word to save

the document, Word attempts to save the document anyway and displays an

error message stating that the disk is full.

Word uses this design, rather then checking for sufficient disk space

before saving the file, since there is no reliable way for Word to know how

big a file will be, or whether there will be enough room for it with "on

the fly" compression from products like MS-DOS version 6 and later, and

Stac Electronics Stacker.

AutoFormat Does Not Replace Hyphens with En Dashes

Article ID: Q110448

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run the AutoFormatter in Word version 6.0 for Windows, Word does

not replace hyphens with en dashes. However, Word replaces two hyphens in a

row with an em dash.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem, use Replace to replace hyphens with en dashes:

1. From the Edit menu, choose Replace.

2. In the Find What box, type a hyphen.

3. Move the insertion point to the Replace With box, and choose Special.

4. Select En Dash.

5. Choose Replace All.

Edit Redo may Misplace Empty Bookmarks in Word 6.0

Article ID: Q110449

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word version 6.0, using a combination of the multiple level Undo/Redo

commands may result in an empty bookmark being "redone" at the wrong place.

This problem occurs only with empty bookmarks (bookmarks that contain no

text). Bookmarks that contain text or graphics behave as expected.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows and the Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will

Rotated or Flipped Text in Macpict Graphic Appears Distorted

Article ID: Q110453

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, if you edit a Macpict graphic that contains rotated or

flipped text, the rotated or flipped text may appear distorted or coarse.

Note: To create a Macpict graphic, use the Word for the Macintosh picture

editor.

CAUSE

=====

The Word for Windows picture editor does not support rotated or flipped

text. If you edit a Macpict graphic, Word transforms the rotated text into

two superimposed components, namely an unrotated text image and a bitmap

image of the rotated text. The superimposed images appear distorted.

This distortion may worsen if you scale the graphic more than 5 percent of

its original size.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

"InsertTableOfContents .Outline=0" Macro Doesn't Use TC Fields

Article ID: Q110465

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run a WordBasic macro that inserts a table of contents using the

InsertTableOfContents command, Word includes the heading styles

in the table of contents, even if you use the .Outline=0 argument.

CAUSE

=====

The "InsertTableOfContents .Outline=0" macro command inserts the following

field in your Word document:

   { TOC }

By design, a TOC field with no parameters collects table of contents

entries from heading levels 1 through 9.

RESOLUTION

==========

Use the .Fields=1 InsertTableOfContents argument, as shown in the

sample macro below, to create a table of contents that collects

entries only from TC (Table of Contents Entry) fields.

   InsertTableOfContents .Fields = 1

Tip: You can record this macro command to easily set all the parameters at

once, as shown in the sample macro below:

 Sub MAIN

  InsertTableOfContents .Outline = 0, .From = "", .To = "", .Fields = 1, \

  .TableID = "C", .RightAlignPageNumbers = 1, .Replace = 0

 End SUB

Status Bar Lists Incorrect Line Number in Table

Article ID: Q110557

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If the insertion point is in a table cell that spans a page break, the "Ln"

(line number) value may be incorrect on the status bar. For example, the

status bar may display "Ln 60" even though you are on line 7 of page 2.

CAUSE

=====

Word may not recalculate the line number from the top of the page when a

cell spans a page break. Instead, Word continues counting the lines from

the page where the table cell started.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0. We

are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Error Running Quick Preview: "...Opening a Word 1.x Template"

Article ID: Q110558

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When you run the "What's New" Quick Preview demonstrations, the following

error message may occur during the AutoFormat portion of the demo:

   Word is opening a Word version 1.x for Windows template. Macros

   from Word 1.x for Windows cannot be converted and will be lost

   if this file is saved in Word 6.0 for Windows format.

After you choose OK to close the error message, the demo cursor moves to

several locations on the screen, the initial Quick Preview screen appears,

and then the demo stops. You should be able to exit the demo at this point.

CAUSE

=====

This happens if the first template in your TEMPLATE directory is a Word 1.x

template such as ARTICLE.DOT. The AutoFormat portion of this Quick Preview

demonstration automatically selects the first template in the Style Gallery

dialog box. When the first template is a Word 1.x template, the above error

occurs.

Your Word 1.x templates may appear in the Word 6.0 TEMPLATE subdirectory if

you installed Word 6.0 over an existing installation of Word 1.x. It may

also happen if you first installed Word 2.x over Word 1.x, then installed

Word 6.0 over Word 2.x. In either case, Setup places your Word 1.x

templates in the Word 6.0 TEMPLATE subdirectory.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

 - Rename the Word 1.x template so it is no longer the first template on

   the list in the Style Gallery dialog box. For example, rename

   ARTICLE.DOT to X_ARTICL.DOT.

   -or-

 - Save the Word 1.x template in Word 6.0 file format. The drawback to this

   workaround is that you may lose some functionality in your Word 1.x

   template.

   -or-

 - Save the Word 6.x template with a name that will cause it to appear

   first alphabetically, in the template directory, such as AAAA.DOT. This

   is useful if you have several 1.x templates that appear at the top of

   the directory

Cannot Insert Paragraph Mark in FORM Field

Article ID: Q110559

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In a Word 6.0 document that is protected for forms, you cannot press the

ENTER key in a FORM field to insert a paragraph mark. Instead of adding the

mark, the insertion point moves to the next FORM field.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior is by design. Once you protect a form, the behavior of

certain keys changes to make it easier for you to move the insertion point

from field to field. For a list of the keys that change functionality in a

protected form, see page 321 in the "Microsoft Word User's Guide."

WORKAROUND

==========

In Word for Windows, you can add multiple paragraphs to a single form field

by using the ANSI character code ALT+13 to insert paragraph marks as

follows:

1. Position the insertion point at the end of the first paragraph.

2. Turn the NUM LOCK key on (most keyboards have an indicator light above

   the NUM LOCK key to indicate that NUM LOCK is on).

3. While holding down the ALT key, press and release the 1 and 3 keys on

   the numeric keypad.

4. Release the ALT key.

Can't Type New Text in Full Text Form Field

Article ID: Q110570

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Using text form fields with the Maximum Length option set to less than

Unlimited in Word 6.0 causes the system to beep when you try to

enter characters beyond the set maximum, as expected; but the system also

beeps if you select some or all of the characters and try to replace the

selection with new characters.

STATUS

======

This is the default action designed for use with form fields.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem, use one of the following options:

 - Backspace over or delete the text to be replaced, and then type the new

   text.

 - Press the INSERT key on the keyboard to turn on insert mode.

 - Double-click OVR on the status bar to activate overtype mode.

 - From the Tools menu, choose Options, select the Edit tab, and select

   Overtype Mode.

Saving Form Data as Text Does Not Change Document Name

Article ID: Q110571

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you work with a document designed for forms data entry in Word 6.0 for

Windows and "Save Data Only for Forms" is selected, saving the data does

not reflect the name change in the forms document. (To locate the "Save

Data..." option, choose Options from the Tools menu, select the Save tab.)

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When working with forms fields, if you try to save data, you are prompted

for a filename with .TXT as the default extension and Text Only as the

default conversion for the data file. The current forms document does not

adopt the name given this data-only file and this filename is not reflected

in the Word title bar if the "Save Data Only for Forms" option is selected.

Two entirely separate files exist: 1) the original forms document for

entering the data, and 2) a text-only, comma-delimited file containing the

data extracted from the forms fields. This text-only data document contains

no link to the original forms data entry document.

This situation occurs because the current forms document you are working

with is used for form data entry only and the data is saved separately to a

different file, which can be used in data processing programs accepting

comma-delimited, text-only data format or for printing.

Currently there is no data link to the forms document. To create a link,

you must create a macro to extract the data from the original data document

to fill the form fields with the data.

Problems Defining Style by Example with Object Selected

Article ID: Q110575

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 for Windows, defining a style by example while an object

linking and embedding (OLE) object is selected causes unusual results in

the document, including the failure of the style redefinition.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows version

6.0. This problem was corrected in Word for Windows version 6.0a and in

Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Results may include the object appearing "broken" or showing as a blank

box. Word gets caught in-between updating the OLE object and the focus

returning to Word. Most menu items are not available. Attempts to delete

the object or use an unavailable menu or toolbar button may result in the

following message on the status bar:

   This command is not available because there is a memory or disk problem.

You cannot save the document through the File menu. When you close the

document and respond "Yes" to the prompt to save it, the document still

does not get saved. If you try to save the document in a non-OLE 2.0 format

(for example, Word 2.0 for Windows, or Windows Write), you receive the

"Cannot Write to File" error message.

CAUSE

=====

This happens when you use an add-in (.WLL) file to add a command to a Word

6.0 menu. Word does not allow a .WLL to control menu items other than

inserting or deleting them. As a result, all Word Assistant menu items are

always available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Font Selector displays properly if started during the use of a modal

dialog, but the Font Selector doesn't apply or accept any changes until the

modal dialog is closed.

If you invoke Insert Special Paper during the use of a modal dialog, it

returns the following error message:

   You cannot insert a Special Paper design into

   a protected document. If you would like to

Doc Error: Disabling In-Place Editing in Equation Editor 2.0

Article ID: Q110577

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions, 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The text in Equation Editor 2.0 Help incorrectly states that you can

disable in-place editing by changing the ForceOpen entry in the

WIN.INI file. The ForceOpen entry is in the EQNEDIT.INI file.

STATUS

======

This documentation error is corrected in Equation Editor version 2.0a,

which is supplied with Word version 6.0a for Windows. For information on

obtaining Word 6.0a, see the "How To Obtain Word 6.0a" section at the

bottom of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Equation Editor 2.0 Help incorrectly states:

   Note: If you prefer editing equations in a separate application

   window, you can set the ForceOpen option to 1 in the [Equation]

   section of the WIN.INI file. The setting would appear as follows:

   [Equation]

   ForceOpen = 1

The setting is located in EQNEDIT.INI, not located in WIN.INI, so the

corrected statement should appear as follows (this is how it appears in

Equation Editor 2.0a):

   If you prefer editing equations in a separate application window, you

   can set  the ForceOpen option to 1 in the [General] section of the

   EQNEDIT.INI file (located in your Windows directory). The setting would

   appear as follows:

Article ID: Q110578

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions, 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Editor 2.0 editing window.

Note: For information on in-place (or in situ) editing, refer to pages 605-

607 in "Microsoft Word User's Guide."

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem either edit equations in their own editing

windows instead of using in-place editing, or disable in-place editing for

Equation Editor 2.0.

To edit equations in their own editing windows:

1. Select the Equation Editor 2.0 object.

2. From the Edit menu, choose Microsoft Equation Object.

3. Choose Open.

4. Restart Equation Editor 2.0.

5. Double-click the Equation Editor 2.0 object.

Equation Editor 2.0 will now only open in its own editing window, where

shortcuts work normally.

Incorrect Dialog for ASK and FILLIN Fields in Help

Article ID: Q110579

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In the Word 6.0 for Windows Help file, the diagram of the ASK and FILLIN

dialog is incorrect. The actual dialog box does not contain the text "Press

Shift+Enter to start a new line."

MORE INFORMATION

================

When you update an ASK or FILLIN field in Word 6.0 for Windows, a dialog

box prompts you for information, but no "Press Shift+Enter to start a new

line" instruction appears (as it does in Word 2.0).

The dialog boxes in Word 6.0 for Windows have been enhanced so that if you

press ENTER to start a new line while the dialog box is displayed, Word

returns text containing a new line character (same result as SHIFT+ENTER in

Word 2.0) followed by a paragraph mark where the line breaks.

To obtain the Help topic for ASK or FILLIN:

1. From the Help menu, choose Contents.

2. Select Reference Information.

3. Select Field Types and Switches.

4. Select Fields Types.

5. Choose ASK and FILLIN from the alphabetical list offered.

 - Word Assistant version 1.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Although the Help button in Font Assistant is context sensitive, the F1 key

is not.

MORE INFORMATION

================

If you start Font Assistant and choose the Create Group, Change Group, or

Font Information button, choosing the Help button returns a different help

screen than if you choose the F1 key.

When you press F1, the same set of help screens appears no matter where

you are working in Font Assistant. This is not consistent with the Help

button, which returns information specific to the area of Font Assistant

you are working in when you choose it.

Word Assistant Help Doesn't Display If No Documents Are Open

Article ID: Q110592

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Word Assistant version 1.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 for Windows, if you have not yet opened a document, File and

Help are the only available menus. Word Assistant normally adds a command

to the Help menu called Word Assistant Help; however, this command does not

appear if you have not opened any documents.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word Assistant uses the WASSTHLP.WLL add-in to modify the Help menu. Word-

link libraries (WLLs) are similar to templates in that they need to be

attached to a document to activate all settings. When a document is opened,

the .WLL file is invoked and the Help menu is modified.

Drop Cap (Framed Paragraph) Causes Unwanted Behavior

Article ID: Q110628

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word includes the Drop Cap command on the Format menu to allow easy

creation of a dropped capital letter ("drop cap") at the beginning of a

sentence. When you use this feature, Word inserts a new framed paragraph in

the document. Since the drop cap is in a separate paragraph, it behaves as

a separate paragraph and may cause unwanted behavior in some situations.

MORE INFORMATION

================

This behavior typically affects envelope addressing and tables of contents.

Envelope Addressing

-------------------

When you create envelopes, Word searches in the current document for a

possible mailing address. If you have formatted a drop cap at the beginning

of the mailing address in your document, Word does not correctly choose the

entire mailing address for the Envelope dialog box. If you do not select

anything, Word "guesses" the address minus the first letter (the one with

drop cap formatting).

The easiest workaround for this situation is to accept Word's guess and

then type the appropriate first letter. If you select the drop cap and the

rest of the address, Word chooses just the letter with the drop cap

formatting as the mailing address.

Tables of Contents

------------------

A common way to create a table of contents (TOC) is to built it from

styles. If your drop cap paragraph is formatted with a heading style and

you create a TOC based on heading styles, the drop cap letter appears by

itself as a TOC entry, and the rest of the original paragraph appears as a

second TOC entry.

To work around this problem, use Table of Contents Entry (TC) fields to

mark the TOC entries instead of using the heading styles. Using TC fields

to mark table entries is described on page 455 in the "Microsoft Word

User's Guide."

Because many functions in Word for Windows operate on a paragraph level,

and because the Drop Cap command creates an additional paragraph in the

document, many paragraph-based operations in Word may be affected.

Insert Frame in Normal View Header Produces Incorrect Message

Article ID: Q110632

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you choose Frame from the Insert menu while you are viewing a header in

Normal view, Word 6.0 for Windows incorrectly displays the message "Click

and drag to insert a frame."

NOTE: In Word 6.0, you can open a header or footer pane while you are in

Normal view by running the NormalViewHeaderArea macro command. Viewing the

header and footer panes in Normal view is not a feature of Word 6.0;

however, the NormalViewHeaderArea command does mimic this Word 2.x feature.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows version

6.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word 6.0 does not offer a standard menu or toolbar option to display

headers and footers in Normal view. However, the NormalViewHeaderArea

command, which can be used in macros or assigned to menus and toolbars,

allows you to do this.

If you use this command to view a header in Normal view, and you choose

Frame from the Insert menu, Word displays the message "Click and drag to

insert a frame" in the status bar. However, the mouse pointer remains in

its pointer shape (it does not change to a cross-hair pointer); you cannot

click and drag the frame.

If you are in Normal view, and you choose Frame from the Insert menu, Word

normally prompts you to change to Page Layout view to define the frame. If

you are in Page Layout view, and you choose Frame from the Insert menu, the

mouse pointer changes to the cross-hair pointer for positioning the frame.

"Word Is Removing Bullets and Numbers" May Be Unexpected

Article ID: Q110633

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use bullets and numbering in Word 6.0 for Windows, Word may warn

you that proceeding with the action will remove the current bullets or

number formatting. In some situations, this message may be generated when

no bullets or numbers are visible in the paragraph.

CAUSE

=====

When you apply bullets or numbering, if Word detects existing bullets or

numbers, generates the message "Word is removing bullets and numbers." This

functionality is intended to alert you that completing the current action

will result in the replacement of the current bullets or numbers.

The act of applying and removing bullets marks the paragraphs internally as

having a numbering property (in some cases, "no numbering"). When you start

to apply another form of numbering, Word determines that these paragraphs

have a numbering attribute (even if it is "no numbering") and displays the

generic warning message.

Therefore, it is possible for the message noted above to be generated when

no bullets or numbers are present in a selected paragraph.

RESOLUTION

==========

If you choose OK to complete the action, the formatting is completed

correctly. The warning message is an extra step to go through in applying

the numbering or bullets.

Information on IntelliSense in Word 6.0 for Windows

Article ID: Q110634

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

IntelliSense technology senses what you wants to do and intelligently

produces the desired result, making routine tasks automatic and complex

tasks easier.

Examples of IntelliSense in Word 6.0 for Windows include AutoCorrect,

AutoFormat, and AutoSelect.

MORE INFORMATION

================

AutoCorrect

-----------

The innovative AutoCorrect feature automatically replaces errors in

mistyped or misspelled words. For instance, if you accidentally type "teh,"

it is automatically replaced with "the" as soon as you press the SPACEBAR.

AutoCorrect also automatically capitalizes the first word of a sentence or

the first letter of any day of the week. It also catches common typing

mistakes such as typing two capital letters in a row when starting a

sentence. Users can add thousands of commonly mistyped or misspelled words

to AutoCorrect to suit their personal typing needs.

AutoFormat

----------

With the revolutionary AutoFormat feature in Word 6.0 for Windows, you can

automatically format an entire document with one click on the toolbar.

Undesirable formatting, such as hard carriage returns, asterisks for

bullets, and improper trademark symbols are automatically cleaned up. You

can choose from more than 20 predesigned styles that are provided in the

Style Gallery, or you can create your own styles. This innovative new

AutoFormat feature represents more than two years of design and development

work and the implementation of 400 design rules.

AutoSelect

----------

With AutoSelect, selecting a word or a group of words is easy and fast

because Word understands that a typical user selects complete words rather

than just letters in words. If you start selecting text in the middle of

the word, Word 6.0 for Windows goes back and automatically selects the

beginning of the word.

Using the Logitech Three-Button Mouse with Word 6.0

Article ID: Q110635

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The right mouse button on a three-button Logitech mouse may not perform

some functions in Word 6.0 for Windows.

CAUSE

=====

The Logitech three-button mouse controller allows you to assign functions

to its middle and right mouse buttons. If the right mouse button is

assigned to a function, Word 6.0 looses the ability to use that button to

accomplish any of the functions it associates with the right mouse button.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem:

1. Run Windows Control Panel, and choose the purple Logitech mouse icon.

2. Choose Button Assignments.

   This dialog box displays two list boxes: one for middle button and one

   for the right button.

3. Configure the right mouse button for "unassigned."

MORE INFORMATION

================

To quickly check if any mouse buttons are assigned, minimize all

applications and check for a purple mouse icon in the lower-right portion

of the screen.

Queries Tab Not Available When Using Access via ODBC

Article ID: Q110653

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use an Access database file by means of ODBC as a mail merge data

source or as a DATABASE field, the Queries tab (as pictured on page 678 in

the Word users guide) is not available.

CAUSE

=====

Access must be running to generate the results of a query. ODBC drivers do

not activate the source application; they access the data file created by

the application.

WORKAROUND

==========

To use an Access query as a data source, open the file using dynamic data

exchange (DDE) rather than ODBC. If DDE is not available, make sure the

Confirm Conversions option is selected in the Open Data Source dialog box.

Also, verify that the following line is in the [Extensions] section of your

WIN.INI file

   MDB=<path>\msaccess.exe  ^.MDB

where <path> is the location of the Access program directory. For example:

   MDB=C:\ACCESS\msaccess.exe  ^.MDB

Cannot Fax from Word 6.0 Using HP LaserJet Fax

Article ID: Q110655

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you send a fax from Word 6.0 for Windows using the Hewlett-Packard (HP)

LaserJet Fax, you may receive one of the following error messages:

 - Printer is busy--cannot print. Try again when the printer is free.

 - Error saving raster files. You may need to increase the available disk

   space.

CAUSE

=====

If you use this fax driver to send a fax with background printing turned

on, you receive the "Printer is busy..." error message. Background printing

requires that the printer driver be able to switch environment settings "on

the fly." Some older printer and fax drivers cannot handle this type of a

printing environment.

If you use this fax driver to send a fax with background printing turned

off, you receive the "Error saving raster files..." message. This error

occurs when HP LaserJet Fax attempts to create a cover sheet while Word is

running.

If you get one of these error messages, you must exit Windows and restart

Windows.

STATUS

======

HP has discontinued the LaserJet Fax and will not be updating the driver.

The latest driver version available is A.2.05a, and it is available by

calling HP support at (303) 353-7650.

WORKAROUND

==========

To avoid the "Printer is busy..." error message, disable background

printing in Word:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2. Choose the Print tab.

3. Clear the Background Printing check box.

To avoid the "Error saving raster files..." error message, disable the

Include A Cover Page and the HP Header on Each Page option in the fax

driver:

1. Compose the fax in Word.

2. From the File menu, choose Print, and then choose OK (or just click the

   Print icon).

   A Fax Options dialog box will appear.

3. Clear the Include A Cover Page check box.

4. Clear the HP Header on Each Page check box.

NOTE:  You may want to create a fax cover page in Word to be faxed with

your document.

Calculation in Form Field Shows Wrong Result

Article ID: Q110656

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When a form field calculation involves another calculation field, the

result may be incorrect.

Word shows the result of the first form field immediately followed by the

correct result if you format the referenced calculation field with a number

format that does not include a dollar sign ($). By contrast, the result is

double the correct value if you format the referenced calculation field

with a number format that DOES include a dollar sign. The following

examples illustrate this behavior:

Scenario 1: Does Not Include Dollar Sign Formatting

---------------------------------------------------

Field                       Number Formatting     Bookmark     Result

----------------------------------------------------------------------

{FORMTEXT}                  Doesn't matter        Text1        100

{FORMTEXT{=Text1}}          No dollar sign        Text2        100

{FORMTEXT{=Text1 + Text2}}  Doesn't matter        Text3        100200

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The calculation form field references another calculation form field that

does not contain dollar sign formatting. The result is a concatenation of

the value of the first calculation field (100) and the correct result of

the formula (200).

Scenario 2: Includes Dollar Sign Formatting

-------------------------------------------

Field                       Number Formatting      Bookmark     Result

----------------------------------------------------------------------

{FORMTEXT}                  Doesn't matter         Text1        100

{FORMTEXT{=Text1}}          Contains dollar sign   Text2        100

{FORMTEXT{=Text1 + Text2}}  Doesn't matter         Text3        400

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The calculation form field references another calculation form field that

contains dollar sign formatting. The result is double the correct result.

CAUSE

=====

Word defines the bookmarks assigned to the calculation form fields

incorrectly. As a result, Word does not correctly parse these form fields,

so it concatenates them instead.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows and Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh. We are researching this

problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base

as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Method 1: Change the final calculation to avoid referring to any other

          calculation fields. Include all math formulas in one calculation

          field. This method is only appropriate for simple calculations.

Method 2: Use the procedure below for each incorrect Calculation form field

          to redefine the bookmarks so Word calculates the formula

          correctly.

          Note: You must repeat this procedure each time you change a

          particular form field in the Text Form Field Options dialog box.

          1. Turn on field code view by pressing ALT+F9 (Windows) or

             OPTION+F9 (Macintosh).

          2. Select the Calculation form field that produces incorrect

             results. Be sure to include the field brackets ({}) in the

             selection.

          3. From the Edit menu, choose Bookmark. The bookmark for the

             selected form field is selected.

          4. Choose the Add button. This redefines the bookmark to include

             the field brackets.

          5. Choose the Close button.

          6. Press F9 to update the field, and then press ALT+F9 (Windows)

             or OPTION+F9 (Macintosh) to switch back to field code results

             view. The result should now be correct.

Method 3: Use the following instructions to define a new bookmark that

          includes the first Calculation field in your formula plus one

          space following it:

          Note: You do not need to repeat this procedure if you change the

          form field in the Text Form Field Options dialog box.

          1. Turn on field code view by pressing ALT+F9 (Windows)

             or OPTION+F9 (Macintosh).

          2. Select the first Calculation form field that is referenced in

             your formula (=) field. Include the space that follows this

             field in your selection. The selection should resemble the

             following example:

                { FORMTEXT {=text1}}

                ^                   ^

                |                   |

                Start of            End of

                selection           selection

          3. From the Edit menu, choose Bookmark.

          4. Type a new name in the Bookmark Name box and then choose the

             Add button.

          5. Choose the Close button.

          6. In your formula field, use the bookmark you defined in step 4

             above instead of the bookmark that Word set for the first

             Calculation form field.

Method 4: In a table, use table cell references rather than bookmark names

          in the Calculation form field.

          Note: This method works only if there are no other Number form

          fields in any table cell you reference in your Calculation form

          field.

          For example, change this calculation

             {FORMTEXT {=Text1 + Text2}}

          to the following:

             {FORMTEXT {=A1 + A2}}

          where the Text1 bookmark is in table cell A1 and the Text2

          bookmark is in table cell A2.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you apply a style that contains frame formatting, the next paragraph

will continue with the frame formatting, even though you defined the

framed-format style as being followed by a different style that does not

have frame formatting (using the "Style for Following Paragraph"

attribute).

Note: In earlier versions of Word (2.x for Windows, 5.x for the Macintosh),

frame formatting does not carry over to the next style.

WORKAROUND

==========

After pressing ENTER to insert another paragraph, press CTRL+Q (Word for

Windows) or COMMAND+OPTION+Q (Word for the Macintosh). The style containing

the Frame formatting will be removed from the paragraph, and the designated

style will remain.

STATUS

======

This functionality, though different from Word 2.x for Windows or Word 5.x

for the Macintosh, is by design.

Word 6.0: Printing Envelopes on the Brother HL8 or HL8e

Article ID: Q110659

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When trying to print envelopes from Word version 6.0 for Windows to a

=====

According to Brother technical support, the earlier Brother printers

emulated the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet Plus printer. HL8 printers after

1988 and HL8e printers after 1992 emulate an HP LaserJet Series II.

To determine the emulation of the Brother printers, hold the Font button

and turn on the power to the printer.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as

it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To successfully print envelopes to Brother printers that print the address

too high, change printer drivers to the Laserjet Plus.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Brother's technical support number is (800) 276-7746.

Word 2.0 used a printer heuristic of 768 to get the address to print in the

correct location. Printer heuristics are not available in Word for Windows

6.0.

The Brother and HP products included here are manufactured by vendors

independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,

regarding these products' performance or reliability.

Pasting Paintbrush Picture: Error! Not a Valid Embedded Object

Article ID: Q110660

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you paste a Microsoft Paintbrush picture in Word for Windows, you may

receive the following error message:

   Error! Not a valid embedded object.

CAUSE

=====

In Microsoft Paintbrush, you have the Omit Picture Format command turned

on.

WORKAROUND

============

On the MS Paintbrush Options menu, clear (by choosing) the Omit Picture

Format command.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To create embedded objects, a server application must make the Picture

format available, along with the OwnerLink format. When you select the Omit

Picture Format in Microsoft Paintbrush, and then copy the image to the

Clipboard, the Picture (CF_Metafile) format is not included with the object

in the Clipboard.

Equation Editor 2.0 Displays All Zoom Settings at 100 Percent

Article ID: Q110674

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Equation Editor, version 2.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you edit a Microsoft Equation Editor 2.0 object in a separate window,

the equation displays at 100-percent zoom, regardless of the Zoom setting

in the [General] section of your EQNEDIT.INI file, the View Zoom dialog

box, or on the Equation Editor status bar.

For example, if you set the Zoom setting to 400 percent (Zoom=400) in your

EQNEDIT.INI file and then insert a new Equation Editor 2.0 object, Equation

Editor displays the equation at 100 percent zoom, even though there is a

check mark next to 400% on the View menu and 400% displays on the status

bar.

This does not happen when you edit an existing equation by opening it from

your Word for Windows document. Furthermore, the problem does not involve

equations that you edit in place (in situ) in Word.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Equation Editor version

2.0, supplied with Word 6.0 for Windows. We are researching this problem

and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it

becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

In Equation Editor, open the View menu and choose the desired zoom

percentage. Equation Editor then displays the equation at the correct zoom

percentage. For example, if the status bar displays "Zoom: 400%", choose

400% from the View menu.

MORE INFORMATION

================

By default, Word edits your Microsoft Equation Editor 2.0 objects in place

when you originally insert them or double-click them to edit them. If you

want Word to open your equations in a separate window, select the equation,

then choose Equation Object from the Edit menu, then choose Open from the

cascading menu that appears.

If you want Word to open a separate Equation Editor window by default, you

can add the following setting to the [General] section of your EQNEDIT.INI

file:

   [General]

   ForceOpen=1

For information about editing EQNEDIT.INI, refer to online Help in a

separate Equation Editor window or query on "eqnedit.ini" (without the

quotation marks) in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

Cannot Change Equation Zoom During In-Place Editing

---------------------------------------------------

By design, when you edit a Microsoft Equation Editor 2.0 object in place in

Word for Windows, the zoom commands on the View toolbar (100%, 200%, 400%,

Zoom) are unavailable (dimmed), so you cannot change the zoom percentage of

your equation. During in-place editing, the View menu reflects the current

zoom setting in Word instead of the one you set for Equation Editor in the

[General] section of your EQNEDIT.INI file.

Resizing Table Columns Seems to Resize Wrong Cells

Article ID: Q110696

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Resizing table columns using the Column Width command in Word 6.0 for

Windows can produce unexpected results in tables with merged cells.

If cells have been merged to the left of the column being resized, the

column width command may appear to skip a cell inside the column and adjust

a cell or cells outside the column instead. The cells affected are in the

row of the merged cell.

CAUSE

=====

Word 6.0 for Windows uses relative cell references to count the position of

a cell from left to right. If you merge two or more cells, Word counts the

merged cells as one cell, thus reducing the number of cells in the row and

altering the cell references to the right of the merged cell. For example,

a cell that originated in column 4 may be placed into column 3 after cells

are merged to the left of it.

In Word 2.0 for Windows, merged cells affect column references only in

columns containing merged cells. Cells not in the column containing the

merged cells are not affected. In Word 6.0 for Windows, all column

references to the right of merged cells are affected.

To determine how a merged cell affects column selection, select the column

which you are attempting to resize by choosing Select Column from the Table

menu (or press ALT+Left Mouse Button). The highlight pattern will show how

Word is applying formats such as column width.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Workaround 1

------------

If possible, avoid merging cells in tables in which large amounts of column

formatting or calculations are being applied. Selective use of borders may

help cells to appear merged when printed.

Workaround 2

------------

In some cases, you can resize a column by placing the mouse pointer on the

gridline and holding down the CTRL key. This may allow you to resize all

the cells that appear to be in the same column. You may want to make a

backup of the document before you resize the column since this method could

affect the width of other columns to the right of the column you are

attempting to resize, which may result in undesirable formatting.

Workaround 3

------------

You can also break down the parts of the column before resizing to resize

the width of cells within an affected column:

1. Select the portion of the column above the row with merged cells and

   adjust the width.

2. Select the portion of the column below and apply the new width.

3. Highlight the cell that appears to be affected by the merge. Make sure

   the whole cell is selected (including the end-of-cell marker if

   paragraphs are showing) and not just the contents of the cell.

4. From the Table menu, choose Column Width and adjust the width. By

   selecting an individual cell, you can adjust the width of one cell at a

   time.

Format Borders and Shading Can Apply to Whole Table

Article ID: Q110697

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 for Windows, applying borders or shading to a table with no

cells selected causes Word to behave differently depending on whether you

apply the formatting using the menu or the toolbar.

If the insertion point is in a table without any cells selected, choosing

Borders And Shading from the Format menu applies the formatting to the

entire table. This behavior is different than Word version 2.0.

When the Borders toolbar is used to apply borders or shading to a table

without any cells selected, the change affects only the cell where the

insertion point is.

CAUSE

=====

The first case, in which the whole table is bordered or shaded, was

implemented by design in Word 6.0 to allow quicker formatting of tables.

SEQ Field Shows 0 (Zero) in Header But Prints Correct Number

Article ID: Q110706

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOM

=======

A SEQ (sequence) field in the header shows the number 0 (zero) or 1, but is

printed with the correct number. Print preview and page layout views both

show 0, and don't show the number as it is printed.

CAUSE

=====

The SEQ field in the body of the document is not at the very beginning of

the file (or section). This field must be the first item in a section.

NOTE: This behavior is a change from the behavior of Word version 2.x. It

is similar to behavior in Word version 1.x.

WORKAROUND

==========

Move the SEQ field to the beginning of the document (or section).

If you don't want the sequence number to appear, use the \h

switch to hide the result

   {SEQ SequenceName \h}

and then use this field where you do want the number to appear:

   {SEQ SequenceName \c}

For example, a file that currently looks like this,

              -------------------------------------------------

   header:   |    Chapter 0                     Page 1         |

             |    ------------------------------------         |

   body:     |                   Chapter 1                     |

             |                                                 |

             |                                                 |

and has the following fields,

              -------------------------------------------------

   header:   |    Chapter {seq chapter \c}      Page 1         |

             |    ------------------------------------         |

   body:     |                   Chapter {seq chapter}         |

             |                                                 |

             |                                                 |

needs to be changed to the following:

              -------------------------------------------------

   header:   |    Chapter {seq chapter \c}      Page 1         |

             |    ------------------------------------         |

   body:     |{seq chapter \h}   Chapter {seq chapter \c}      |

             |                                                 |

             |                                                 |

Shading Patterns Do Not Print to High Resolution Printers

Article ID: Q110710

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Shading may print as a solid color or solid shading when you print a

paragraph or table cell that has a shading pattern applied (such as Dk. Dwn

Diagonal) from Word 6.0 for Windows to a high resolution printer (such as

the Linographics 1270 dpi or any 600 dpi printer).

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs because of the high resolution of the printer; the

shading pattern is printed, but the shading pattern lines are so close

together that they appear as a solid color or as solid shading. Word cannot

space the lines farther apart so that they appear as separate lines when

printed. With a magnifying glass you can see that the shading pattern was

printed, but with the lines very close together.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem, set the printer driver for a lower resolution:

1. In the Windows Control Panel, choose the Printers icon.

2. Choose Setup.

3. Change the resolution to a lower value.

Running Word for Windows Tutorial May Cause Low Memory Message

Article ID: Q110711

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run Word 6.0 Windows tutorials (or attempt to perform other tasks)

on a machine with 4 megabytes (MB) of memory, when Windows is in standard

mode, you may receive "Low Memory" error messages.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs because Word 6.0 for Windows uses most of the available

RAM; the system does not have enough available memory to create a page

frame. When this happens, the tutorial or other programs may not have

enough memory available to run.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When Windows is running in standard mode you must have enough RAM to create

a page frame in the reserved address area (640K to 1 MB address range). A

page frame is a contiguous 64K segment. Windows in standard mode uses this

method (paging) to swap code in and out of RAM.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem:

 - Restart your computer and do not run any other programs while running

   Word.

 - Do not edit more than one document at a time.

 - Free up as much RAM as possible or add more RAM to the system.

SYMPTOMS

========

If you run Setup for Word 6.0 for Windows while Publisher 2.0 is running,

you may receive the following error message:

   Could not write to file named:

   <windows path>\SYSTEM\PUBOLE.DLL!

   This file is currently being used by another application.

   Quit the setup of the product?

Your only option is to select Yes.

If you try to start Word 6.0 for Windows the following error message is

displayed:

   Wrong OLE DLLs. Run Setup again.

CAUSE

=====

Words 6.0 ships with newer DLLs than Publisher version 2.0. When Publisher

is running, it keeps all these older DLLs in memory. Words 6.0 Setup has to

add the PUBOLE.DLL for object linking and embedding (OLE) functionality.

When Setup finds the older DLL on the hard drive, Setup tries to write over

it but can't because the older DLL is being held open by Publisher.

RESOLUTION

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 includes the Calendar Wizard, which can create several

different calendar styles. The Calendar Wizard provides a quick and

efficient way to produce a generic calendar.

The Calendar Wizard does not allow you to enter text into the calendar. You

can, however, modify a calendar into which text can be added. The purpose

of this article is to provide some suggestions on what can be done to

modify the document the Calendar Wizard creates into a more usable format.

1. Run the Calendar Wizard by choosing New from the File menu. Choose

   Calendar Wizard from the Template list and choose OK. Any orientation

   and style calendar can be used, but we recommend you use the Boxes or

   Banner style. You can also use the Jazzy style, but it is more difficult

   to modify.

2. After completing the Calendar Wizard, use the mouse to click on the

   border of the text box to select the body of the calendar.

3. From the Table menu, choose Convert Text To Table. Choose AutoFormat,

   then select AutoFit. Select the format and choose OK. Choose OK again,

   and the body of the calendar will now be converted to a table. The table

   may contain empty columns or rows that may be unwanted. Select and

   delete the unwanted columns and rows and remove any borders or shading

   as required.

4. The numbering of the days in the body of the calendar may contain a font

   too large for the type of calendar you are creating. Select the cells of

   the table that contain the numbered days, and set to the desired font

   and point size (point size 14 is recommended).

5. With the same cells selected as in step 4, set the paragraph formatting

   Space Before to 6 pt. and Spacing After to 0 pt, or adjust the space

   before and after to your preference.

Make any other adjustments to the table to obtain the desired results.

You can also enter text in the table cells, as in any other table. Either

let the text wrap in the cell or press SHIFT+ENTER to start a new line of

text within the cell.

Marking Index Entry Turns On Nonprinting Characters

Article ID: Q110791

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you mark an index entry in Word 6.0 for Windows, Word turns on the

display of nonprinting characters. This happens whether you mark the entry

with the menu options or use the shortcut key ALT+SHIFT+X. This behavior

differs from that of Word 2.0, which did not turn on the display of

nonprinting characters.

CAUSE

=====

Nonprinting characters are turned on so that you can see the new index

entry, which is formatted as hidden text. If hidden text were not turned

on, you would not be able to determine that the entry had been successfully

marked.

RESOLUTION

==========

Add two lines to the MarkIndexEntry command. Use the steps below to modify

the command instructions.

NOTE: If nonprinting characters are currently displayed, running the

modified MarkIndexEntry command will turn off their display.

1. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

2. In the Macro Name box, type "MarkIndexEntry" (without the quotation

   marks).

3. Choose Create. You should now have the MarkIndexEntry command macro in

   the macro editing window.

4. Change the macro from

      Sub MAIN

      Dim dlg As MarkIndexEntry

      GetCurValues dlg

      Dialog dlg

      MarkIndexEntry dlg

      End Sub

   to:

      Sub MAIN

      ScreenUpdating 0                   ' new line

      Dim dlg As MarkIndexEntry

      GetCurValues dlg

      n = Dialog dlg                     ' changed line

      If n = -1 then MarkIndexEntry dlg  ' changed line

      ShowAll(0)                         ' new line

      End Sub

5. From the File menu, choose Close.

6. When asked if you want to keep the changes to the macro, choose Yes.

Large Unprintable Region with LJ 4P and Custom Paper Size

Article ID: Q110809

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print a custom-size document to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 4P

or 4MP printer (using HPPCL5E.DRV versions 31.1.25 through 31.1.27) or the

HP 4ML printer (using the version 3.55 of the PSCRIPT.DRV), you have an

unusually large right unprintable region.

Envelopes other than sizes Com10, DL, C5, B5, or Monarch will not print

correctly since they are generated by using a custom paper size. Some

common sizes that will NOT print correctly are:

   4 1/2 X 9 1/2

   4 3/4 X 11

   4 1/2 X 6 3/4

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 for Windows. This

problem was corrected in Word 6.0a for Windows.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem:

 - Use the HP IIIP driver to print the document or envelope.

   -or-

 - Increase the width of the custom-page size to compensate for the large

   unprintable region.

The HP products included here are manufactured by vendors independent of

Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these

products' performance or reliability.

MORE INFORMATION

================

If you are printing a custom-size portrait document, the right unprintable

region will be .26 inch. If you are printing a custom-size landscape

document, the right unprintable region will be up to 2.31 inches or up to

3.1 inches. The size of the unprintable regions changes with differences in

the custom paper size.

Microsoft Write shows the unprintable regions to be .25 inch for all sizes.

Print to File Unavailable with Some Printers

Article ID: Q110811

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print from Word 6.0 for Windows the Print To File option under

File Print is unavailable (dimmed). This problem has been reported with the

following printers:

   IBM 4019, using an IBM driver version earlier than 4.11 (IBM4019.DRV)

   Canon LBP8 Mark 3 with v.3.09 of driver.

STATUS

======

The problem with the IBM 4019 has been corrected in version 4.11 (and

later) of the driver. Contact Lexmark at (606) 232-3000 for the updated

version of the 4019 driver.

The problem with the Canon LPB8 was corrected withe the later European

version of driver (v2.12) available from Canon. Contact Canon Technical

Support at (800) 423-2366.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem:

1. Run Windows Control Panel and choose Printers.

2. Choose Connect.

3. In the Ports box, change the setting from LPT1 to FILE.

4. Print the document from Word.

Envelope Barcodes Print Vertically on TI Microlaser Plus

Article ID: Q110812

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print an envelope with a barcode from Word 6.0 for Windows to a TI

Microlaser Plus using a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet IID driver, the

barcode prints in the wrong orientation on the envelope.

CAUSE

=====

The TI Microlaser Plus uses HP LaserJet II emulation, but it also has an

optional envelope tray. Since the LaserJet II does not support an optional

envelope tray and the LaserJet IID does, some people try to use the IID

driver to access the optional envelope tray. This does not work.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem:

 - Use the HP LaserJet II driver. The barcode will print out correctly, but

   you will not have support for the envelope tray (since it is not

   supported on the LJ II).

   -or-

 - Use the Brother HL-8D driver available on the Microsoft Download Service

   (MSDL). This driver corrects a similar problem with the Brother printer.

NOTE: Microsoft cannot guarantee success using the Brother driver.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Neither the TI Microlaser Plus nor the HP LaserJet II supports autorotation

of graphics. Word, therefore, rotates the graphics when the LaserJet II

driver is selected. A barcode is a graphic, so Word will rotate the graphic

for the printer, and it will print out correctly.

The HP IID printer does support rotation of graphics, so when Word is

connected to a IID driver, Word sends the barcode graphic and a command for

the printer to rotate it. The IID printer understands this command, so it

will print correctly. The TI Microlaser and the HP LaserJet II do not

understand this command, so the barcode (or any other graphic) will not

print out rotated.

The TI, HP, and Brother products included here are manufactured by vendors

independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,

regarding these products' performance or reliability.

Article ID: Q110863

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

EPS Graphic Prints with Box Around It to HP LaserJet IV

Article ID: Q110864

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, version 4.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When printing an EPS graphic with a TIFF header to a Hewlett-Packard (HP)

LaserJet IV printer in non-PostScript mode, the graphic may print with a

box or border around it. The graphic appears correctly (without the box) on

the screen and in print preview.

This problem has also been reported when printing to a Tektronics Phaser II

printer using the Postscript Printer driver version 3.58.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs when using the HP LaserJet IV driver version 1.20 set

to HPGL graphics mode. When the printer is not in PostScript mode, it is

actually printing the TIFF header rather than interpreting the encapsulated

PostScript code. This issue was corrected with the HP IV driver version

1.26. This new driver is available from HPs Fulfillment Center, which you

can reach by calling (303) 353-7650.

WORKAROUND

==========

HP LaserJet IV

--------------

To work around this problem until you receive the new driver:

1. From the File Menu, choose Print.

2. Choose Printer.

3. Choose Options.

4. Choose Options again.

5. In the Graphics Mode box, select Raster.

6. Choose OK twice and then choose Close.

7. Choose OK to return to the document.

The graphic should now print correctly.

Windows NT File Manager: Run .DOC File Does Not Open Document

Article ID: Q110865

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run a .DOC file from Windows NT File Manager (for example, double-

click on a .DOC filename) Word 6.0 for Windows starts but does not load the

.DOC file.

If you run a .DOC file while Word is already running, the document is

opened in Word.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem, use the following steps to modify the .DOC

file association:

1. Start Windows NT File Manager.

2. From the File menu, choose Associate.

3. Select .DOC from the "Files with Extension" option.

4. Choose Change Type.

5. The Command option in the Change File Type window will read

   something like:

      C:\WINWORD\WINWORD.EXE /w

   Add a "%1" (without the quotation marks) just before the "/w" so that

   it looks like the following example:

      C:\WINWORD\WINWORD.EXE %1 /w

6. Choose OK and then choose Close.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Under Windows, if Word is not running when you run a .DOC file, Word starts

and then a DDE command is sent to Word instructing it to open the file.

Under Windows NT, the DDE command is sent to Word only if Word is already

running. Adding the %1 to the command line, instructs Windows NT to include

the name of the document inside the instruction that starts Word. Using

this, Word opens the document.

If Word is already running, Windows NT correctly uses the DDE instruction

to instruct Word to open the document.

How the Spell Checker Checks Uppercase and Lowercase Words

Article ID: Q110866

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The Word 6.0 for Windows spelling checker follows a case hierarchy when

checking words in uppercase and lowercase letters:

 - If you add a word in uppercase letters to the custom dictionary, the

   spelling checker flags the lowercase and title case forms of the word.

   To have the spelling checker ignore these forms of the word, you must

   add the forms of that word to the custom dictionary.

 - If you add a word in title case letters to the custom dictionary, the

   spelling checker ignores the uppercase form of the word and flags the

   lowercase form.

 - If you add a word in lowercase letters to the custom dictionary, the

   spelling checker ignores both the uppercase and title case forms of the

   word.

SUMMARY

=======

The Microsoft Word version 6.0 for Windows Resource Kit (page 316) and

"Microsoft Word User's Guide" (page 769) incorrectly state:

   The Word program requires 7 MB of available space

   on the file server or the shared directory.

The user's guide also indicates that 9.5 MB of available space is required

for the shared components. These numbers are incorrect. The correct totals

are 25 MB on the file server or the shared directory with the shared

components requiring an additional 5 MB.

Converting Word 2.x Macros to Word 6.0 for Windows

Article ID: Q110928

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 converts the macros in a Word 2.x template the first time you open

the template in Word 6.0, or create a new document based on the template,

or attach the template to a document using the Templates command (on the

File menu). After converting a template, you must save it to save the

conversion. If you don't save the template, Word converts the macros again

the next time you use the template.

When Word converts your macros automatically, you may need to modify parts

of them by hand to complete the conversion.

A Word for Windows white paper titled "Converting 2.x Macros to Word for

Windows" is available from Product Support Services. This white paper is a

technical document to help developers identify areas of their macros that

they may need to pay special attention to produce the behavior you want

from your macro.

Note that Word 6.0 cannot convert Word 1.x macros directly. You most open

Word 1.x templates first in Word 2.x and then in Word 6.0.

Also, additional macro conversion information was added to the Word 6.0a

for Windows WRDBASIC.HLP file. To access this information, do the

following:

1. From the Help menu, choose Contents.

2. Select the "Programming with Microsoft Word" topic.

3. Select the "Converting Word Version 2.x Macros" topic.

When you restart (reboot) some laptop computers, they go into a standby

mode instead of actually restarting. Therefore, MS-DOS does not process the

modified CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.

RESOLUTION

==========

You must actually turn off the laptop computer and then turn it on again to

fully restart (reboot) it. This causes the operating system to process the

modified AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files so the changes made by Word

Setup can take effect.

MORE INFORMATION

Article ID: Q110939

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In a Word for Windows document, when you manually insert a LINK field to

add a Microsoft Excel version 4.0 for Windows worksheet or chart (by

pressing CTRL+F9 and typing the LINK field text), the following error

message may occur in place of the linked object in Word:

   Not a valid link.

This error does not occur in Word 6.0 when you manually insert a LINK field

to add a Microsoft Excel version 5.0 worksheet or chart to your document.

By contrast, this error does not occur in Word 2.x for Windows when you

manually insert a LINK field to a Microsoft Excel version 4.0 or 5.0

worksheet or chart.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 for Windows. We

are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Do not manually press CTRL+F9 and type the LINK field arguments in your

Word document. Instead, create the link using one of the following methods:

 - Link the Microsoft Excel worksheet or chart by copying it in Microsoft

   Excel and pasting it in your Word document using the Paste Special

   -or-

 - Create the link using the Object command on the Insert menu in Word.

Word Hangs If You Apply Change Case Formatting in Outline View

Article ID: Q110940

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word for Windows may hang (stop responding) if you use the Change Case

command on the Format menu when in outline view.

CAUSE

=====

Word hangs when you choose the Change Case command from the Format menu if

all five of the following conditions are true:

1. You are in outline view.

2. The outline is collapsed so only Level 1 headings are visible. (To make

   only Level 1 visible, choose the 1 button on the Outlining toolbar.)

3. The document contains at least one Heading 1 paragraph and at least one

   paragraph formatted with a style other than Heading 1.

4. The selected text is formatted with the Heading 1 style and begins with

   a capital letter (or you previously used the Change Case command to

   apply Title Case formatting to the selection).

5. The selection includes the Heading 1 paragraph mark.

Note: This problem does not occur if you do not select the Heading 1

paragraph mark.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. This

problem was corrected in version 6.0a of Word for Windows. For information

on obtaining Word 6.0a, see the "How To Obtain Word 6.0a" section at the

bottom of this article.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1 - Expand the outline to display at least the Level 2 headings.

Method 2 - Do not select the paragraph mark in your Heading 1 paragraph

           when you use the Change Case command on the Format menu.

How to Set a Default DATE Field Format

Article ID: Q110995

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how you can set a default date format in Word 6.0

for Windows by adding a line to the WINWORD6.INI file. In Microsoft Word

for the Macintosh, version 6.0 the same results is achieved by adding a

line to the Word Settings (6) file.

This default applies whenever you insert a DATE field with no Date-Time

Picture switches (\@). It does not apply when you insert the date using the

Date And Time command on the Insert menu or when you insert the date using

the ALT+SHIFT+D shortcut key combination. This is because dates inserted

from the menu use their own fields and formats. The ALT+SHIFT+D shortcut

key inserts the date with the format you selected most recently from the

Insert Date And Time menu ({DATE \L}); therefore, it is unaffected by the

DATEFORMAT setting.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word Version 6.0 for Windows

----------------------------

To change the default DATE field format, add the following setting to the

[Microsoft Word] section of your WINWORD6.INI file:

   DATEFORMAT=<format>

Note: <format> is the default format you want Word to use when you insert a

DATE field. The following are a few sample formats:

   Setting                               Result

   -------                               ------

   DATEFORMAT=MMMM d, yyyy               January 2, 1994

   DATEFORMAT=MMMM dd, yyyy              January 02, 1994

   DATEFORMAT=dddd, MMMM d, yyyy         Sunday, January 2, 1994

   DATEFORMAT=h:mm am/pm dddd, MMMM d    10:00 am Sunday, January 2

You can use any Date-Time Picture switch format for this setting. To

display all the available Date-Time Picture switch formats, double-click

the Help button on the Standard toolbar and then type "Date-Time Picture"

(without the quotation marks).

TIP: If you want Word to use the default date format when you press

ALT+SHIFT+D, you can create a WordBasic macro that inserts a DATE field

with no Date-Time Picture switches ({DATE}) and assign that macro to the

ALT+SHIFT+D key combination.

For more information about the DATEFORMAT setting in the WINWORD6.INI file,

refer to the Word Readme Help file, which you can open using one of the

following procedures:

 - Double-click the Word Readme Help icon in the Word program group. Select

   the WINWORD6.INI Options topic.

   -or-

 - Double-click the Help button on the Standard toolbar (or choose Search

   from the Help menu) and type "readme" (without the quotation marks) in

   the Search dialog box.

Note: In Word 2.x, the DATEFORMAT setting is in the [Microsoft Word 2.0]

section of the WIN.INI file. The same formats are available.

Word Version 6.0 for the Macintosh

----------------------------------

To set a default date format in Word for the Macintosh, access the Word

Setting (6) file by adding the ToolsAdvancedSetting command to a menu:

1. From the Tools Menu, choose Customize.

2. Select the Menu tab, and then select Tools in the Categories list and

   select ToolsAdvancedSetting from the Commands list.

3. Choose the Add button and then the Close button.

4. From the Tools Menu, choose Advanced Settings.

5. In the Option Text box, type "DateFormat" (without the quotation marks),

   and in the Setting box, type the default format.

This is different from earlier versions of Word for the Macintosh, where

the default date is derived from the system setting.

TIP: You can use an AutoText entry and assign the formatted date setting to

a keystroke combination:

1. From the Insert menu, choose Date And Time. From the Available Formats

   list, select the format you want.

2. View field codes (press SHIFT+F9).

3. Select the resulting field code and from the Edit menu, choose AutoText.

4. Give the entry a name and choose the Add button.

5. From the Tools menu, choose Customize, choose the Keyboard tab and

   assign a keystroke combination.

When you are in master document or outline view in Word, the Tabs and

Paragraph commands are unavailable (dimmed) on the Format menu.

By contrast, the Tabs and Paragraph items are available on the list that

appears when you choose the Format button in the Modify Style dialog box.

(To open the Modify Style dialog box, choose Style from the Format menu and

choose the Modify button.) However, if you select Tabs from the list that

appears when you choose the Format button, nothing happens. If you select

Paragraph from the same list, the Format Paragraph dialog box appears. If

you then choose the Tabs button, however, the Format Tabs dialog box does

not open, and the Format Paragraph dialog box closes.

CAUSE

=====

The availability of many Word commands depends on settings such as the view

you set using the commands on the View menu or the options you set under

the View tab in the Tools Options dialog box. For example, many commands

are unavailable if you lock your document by choosing the Lock Document

button on the Master Document toolbar. If a command is inappropriate or not

applicable to a particular view, it is unavailable when you are in that

view.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you want to apply Tabs or direct paragraph formatting, switch to normal

or page layout view.

GP Fault Grammar Checking the Word "Non-Destructive"

Article ID: Q111073

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A general protection (GP) fault in Module GRAM.DLL occurs while you

run the Word for Windows grammar checker if it checks a sentence that

contains the hyphenated word "non-destructive".

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Format the word "non-destructive" with No Proofing language attributes. To

do this, select the compound word "non-destructive", choose Language from

the Tools menu, select No Proofing in the Language list, and choose OK.

 -or-

Use a different combination of words in place of "non-destructive" to

accomplish the same meaning.

GP Fault Entering Outline View from Print Preview

Article ID: Q111074

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you exit print preview by choosing Outline from the View menu, a general

protection (GP) fault in WINWORD.EXE may occur.

CAUSE

=====

The GP fault occurs if you open a Word 2.x header or footer pane before you

switch to print preview, then you exit print preview by switching to

outline view. A GP fault also occurs if you run the spelling checker in the

Word 2.x header or footer pane, switch to print preview, apply page setup

formatting, undo that formatting, and then exit print preview by choosing

Outline from the View menu.

To reproduce the problem

------------------------

1. In your Word document, open the Word 2.x header or footer pane by

   running the following macro:

   Sub MAIN

    NormalViewHeaderArea .Type = 1

   End Sub

2. Switch to print preview by choosing Print Preview from the File menu

   or by choosing the Print Preview button on the Standard toolbar.

3. In print preview, choose Page Setup from the File menu and select the

   Margins tab.

4. Change one of the Margins settings and then choose OK.

5. From the Edit menu, choose Undo Page Setup.

6. From the View menu, choose Outline.

By contrast, the GP fault does not occur if, instead of step 6 above, you

exit print preview by choosing the Outline button on the horizontal scroll

bar.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Close the Word 2.x header or footer pane before you switch to

          print preview.

Method 2: Exit print preview by using a method other than choosing Outline

          from the View menu. If you want to switch to outline view from

          print preview, choose the Outline button on the horizontal

          scroll bar.

Information: How Word Uses RESCUE.DOC If You Are Out of Memory

Article ID: Q111075

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how and when Word for Windows creates RESCUE.DOC.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When you start Word, the program reserves some system memory. During the

Word session, if you try to save a document and do not have enough memory

to complete the operation, Word displays an "out of memory" error message

and asks if you want to save the current document as RESCUE.DOC. If you

choose Yes, Word releases the reserved system memory and uses it to save

your document.

After Word saves RESCUE.DOC, you should not continue working. You should

exit Word, exit and restart Windows, then restart Word to reestablish the

"emergency" memory reserve. If you continue working after saving

RESCUE.DOC, you may again be unable to save your document. This time, Word

has no more reserved memory for emergency save operations, so you could

lose some work.

Word Hangs When You Select a Table Column

Article ID: Q111080

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word for Windows may hang (stop responding) when you select a column

in a table that contains a field.

CAUSE

=====

Word hangs when you select a portion of a table that contains a field if

you previously deleted cells in the table.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 for Windows. This

problem was corrected in version 6.0a of Word for Windows.

To obtain new or updated Microsoft products, call Microsoft Sales

Information Center at (800) 426-9400. If you are outside the United States,

contact the Microsoft subsidiary for your area. To locate your subsidiary,

call Microsoft International Customer Service at (206) 936-8661.

MORE INFORMATION

================

For example, the following procedure hangs Word:

WARNING! These steps will hang your computer.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

--------------------------

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options and select the View tab.

2. In the Field Shading list, select When Selected, and then choose OK.

3. In a Word document, insert a four-column by four-row table.

4. In the table, select cells B3 through D4.

5. From the Table menu, choose Delete Cells.

6. Select the Shift Cells Left option and then choose OK.

7. Position the insertion point in cell D2 and press CTRL+F9 to insert

   a blank field.

8. Position the insertion point in column C and then choose Select

   Column from the Table menu.

At this point, Word stops responding. If you press CTRL+ALT+DEL, Windows

notifies you that WINWORD.EXE has stopped responding to the system.

Ruler Is Incorrect for Paragraphs That Wrap Around Frame

Article ID: Q111081

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word for Windows moves tabs to the right when you insert a frame at the

left margin. As a result, tabs in any paragraphs that wrap on the right

side of the frame are offset to the right by the width of the frame plus

the Distance From Text measurement.

However, Word does not display this adjustment on the horizontal ruler in

page layout view; in other words, the tab does not align vertically with

the tab marker on the ruler. For example, if you insert a 1-inch-wide frame

with a .5-inch Distance From Text setting, and the paragraph that wraps

around it contains a custom tab at 2 inches, the tab appears 3.5 inches

from the left margin, even though the tab remains at 2 inches on the

horizontal ruler (3.5 inches is the width of the frame plus the Distance

From Text value plus the original tab setting [1 + .5 + 2]).

CAUSE

=====

Word does not redraw the ruler to display margins and tabs that are

adjusted when you insert a frame.

Note: This does not occur in Word 2.x.

Both Word 2.x and 6.0 reset tabs relative to the right side of the frame.

For example, if you have a 1-inch tab, Word positions it one inch to the

right of the frame. Word 2.x resets the ruler to 0 (zero) inches to reflect

this adjustment, but Word 6.0 does not.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 and 6.0a for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here

in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Because the ruler does not accurately reflect the vertical position of

tabs, it is difficult to set tabs for these paragraphs using the ruler. For

these paragraphs, one of the following alternative methods may make it

easier for you to set tabs:

Method 1 - Use the Tabs command on the Format menu. Your tab settings

           should be relative to the adjusted left margin, to the right of

           the frame.

Method 2 - Switch to normal view, then set the tabs using the ruler.

Change in Document File Size Is More or Less Than Expected

Article ID: Q111277

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Sometimes the file size of your Word document changes substantially

(increases or decreases), even if you make only minor revisions to the

document. Moreover, the file size sometimes remains constant, even though

you made changes in the document.

CAUSE

=====

The file size of your Word document may increase unexpectedly if the Allow

Fast Saves option is turned on. A fast save appends the changes to the end

of your document, which increases the size of the document. By contrast,

when you turn off the Allow Fast Saves option and save the document, Word

performs a full save, which incorporates all your revisions (instead of

appending them). If you perform a full save after a file was fast saved,

Word reduces the size of the file.

Even with the Allow Fast Saves option turned on, Word periodically performs

a full save of your document. As a result, the file size of your document

may change substantially between save operations.

If Allow Fast Saves is off, and you make minor changes to the document, the

file size may not change due to the method Word uses to determine file

size. Word adds to or subtracts from the size of a document in 512-byte

increments. If a modification does not exhaust a 512-byte increment, Word

does not increase the size of the file.

Note: If you open a document from a previous version of Word, Word may

temporarily allocate more disk space for the document than is actually

necessary. For more information about this process, query on the following

words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   increase and appsconv and internal and allocation and word6

Overview: How to Use ODBC with Word 6.0 for Windows

Article ID: Q111278

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article discusses ways you can use Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)

in Word for Windows.

Word uses ODBC to retrieve information from single-tier, file-based,

relational and nonrelational databases for mail merge and database

operations. ODBC frees Word from having to convert, insert, or link a

database in a Word document. With ODBC, Word can open and retrieve

requested database data from a database file for use in a mail merge

operation while maintaining the database file's original file format and

structure.

Word includes ODBC drivers that can read Microsoft Access 1.0 and 1.1 for

Windows; dBASE III, III+, and IV; and Paradox 3.5 for MS-DOS database

files. Word can also read files saved from Microsoft FoxPro 2.0, 2.5, and

2.5a for MS-DOS and Microsoft FoxPro 2.5 and 2.5a for Windows, as these

versions of FoxPro save in supported dBASE formats.

Note: You cannot use ODBC to open files via File Open or save files via

File Save or File Save As.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word uses ODBC in the following ways:

1. Tools Mail Merge, Get Data

   To mail merge a relational database with a Word form letter, envelope,

   catalog, or mailing label:

   a. Choose Mail Merge from the Tools menu.

   b. Choose the Get Data button.

   c. Select the Confirm Conversions box.

   d. Select or provide Word with the correct drive, directory, and

      filename of your database file. Choose the OK button.

   e. Choose the ODBC option in the Confirm Data Source box (you should see

      a DDE and ODBC option), and choose the OK button twice.

2. Insert Database

   When you choose Database from the Insert menu, Word will insert a

   database directly into a Word document in table format. The Insert

   Database feature provides query options for database record filtering,

   record sorting, and field selection as well as table formatting options.

3. DATABASE Field

   When you access a database file with the DATABASE field, you can insert

   requested records into a Word document in table format:

   a. From the Insert menu, choose Field.

   b. In the Categories box, select the Mail Merge.

   c. In the Field Names box, select Database.

   d. Choose the Options button to insert any DATABASE field options.

   The following DATABASE field will insert all of the records from the

   EMPLOYEES table in the Microsoft Access database NWIND.MDB into a Word

   document in table format:

      {DATABASE \d "C:\\ACCESS\\NWIND.MDB" \c "DSN=MS Access Databases;

      DBQ=C:\\ACCESS\\NWIND.MDB;FIL=RedISAM" \s "SELECT * from EMPLOYEES"

      \* MERGEFORMAT}

4. Microsoft Query

   "Microsoft Query" provides access to relational and two-tier databases.

   It allows you to view, edit, and organize database data and insert it

   into a Windows-based application. While Microsoft Query does not ship

   with Microsoft Word, Word will support Microsoft Query's use and be

   aware of its presence. If Microsoft Query has been installed, Word will

   ask if you would prefer to use Microsoft Query to access your database

   when choosing the Get Data button in a mail merge main document.

   Microsoft Query ships with Microsoft Excel version 5.0 for Windows.

Word Error 1078 Creating File Based On Newsletter Wizard

Article ID: Q111362

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following Word for Windows error may occur when you create a file

based on the Newsletter wizard (NEWSLTTR.WIZ):

   Microsoft Word ERR=1078

   This file could not be found. (<PATH>\<FILENAME>.WZS)

NOTE: In the above error message, <PATH> is the location of the workstation

installation of Word, and <FILENAME> is one of the classic or modern

newsletter style files such as MODERN3.WZS or CLASSIC3.WZS.

CAUSE

=====

This error message occurs in a Word session running from a network

workstation. The Newsletter wizard incorrectly searches the User Template

path (USER-DOT-PATH setting in the [Microsoft Word] section of

WINWORD6.INI) for the Newsletter wizard files. Instead, the wizard should

search the Workgroup Template Path (WORKGROUP-DOT-PATH setting) for these

files.

In a workstation installation of Word, Setup places all the supplied

template and wizard files in the Workgroup Template directory. The User

Template directory is where Word stores any templates or wizards you

create, so it is usually empty after you install Word on a workstation.

NOTE: This problem occurs only when you use the Newsletter wizard. However,

once you run the Newsletter wizard, no other Word wizards run correctly

during the Word session.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. We

are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use one of the following workarounds to avoid this error.

Workaround 1: Change User Template Setting

------------------------------------------

Use the procedure below to temporarily change your User Template

(USER-DOT-PATH) setting so it matches the Workgroup Template

(WORKGROUP-DOT-PATH) setting. As a similar workaround, you could switch the

User Template and Workgroup Template settings with one another.

Note: The drawback to these workarounds is that Word will store your

user templates in the Workgroup Templates location unless you restore

the original User Template setting after you run the Newsletter

wizard. For maximum flexibility, you can create a macro that switches the

User Template and Workgroup Template settings as required.

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options and select the File Locations tab.

Information: The Role of the TTEMBED.INI File in Word

Article ID: Q111370

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The TTEMBED.INI file is a text file that lists the fonts that cannot be

embedded in a document. The Word for Windows Setup program installs

TTEMBED.INI in the Windows program directory. You cannot embed any font

listed in the [Embedding] section of TTEMBED.INI that contains a 0 (zero)

value. Resetting the value to 1 has no effect. TTEMBED.INI overrides the

Embed TrueType Fonts option. (To locate this option, choose Options from

the Tools menu, and select the Save tab.)

By default, TTEMBED.INI includes the TrueType fonts supplied with

Windows 3.1. In other words, you cannot embed the Windows 3.1 fonts.

It is unnecessary to embed these TrueType fonts because any computer

that runs Word 6.0 must also be running version 3.1 or later of

Windows; therefore, these fonts are available on any computer running

Word 6.0.

If you want to prevent the embedding of any other TrueType font, add the

font to your TTEMBED.INI file using the following syntax:

   [Embedding]

   <TrueType Font Name>=0

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following is the text of the TTEMBED.INI that Word Setup installs:

   [EMBEDDING]

   Arial=0

   Arial Bold=0

   Arial Bold Italic=0

   Arial Italic=0

   Courier New=0

   Courier New Bold=0

   Courier New Bold Italic=0

   Courier New Italic=0

   Symbol=0

   Times New Roman=0

   Times New Roman Bold=0

   Times New Roman Bold Italic=0

   Times New Roman Italic=0

   Wingdings=0

The manufacturer of your TrueType font determines whether or not you

can embed the font. If the manufacturer codes the font for restricted

licensing, you cannot embed the font or save it with your file. Check

the font vendor's information to see if you can embed the font in

your applications that support font embedding (such as Word).

For more information about embedding TrueType fonts and embedding

types (namely, installable, editable, and print and preview fonts),

see pages 117 and 120 in "Microsoft Word User's Guide." If you have

Microsoft Word Assistant, you can find more information about

embedding TrueType fonts in the Font Assistant online Help (search

for "embedding levels").

For more information about Word Assistant, query on the following

words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   "word assistant" and word6

Cannot Link Microsoft Access 1.x Data into Word 6.0 Document

Article ID: Q111373

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Access for Windows, version 1.0, 1.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you copy data from Microsoft Access 1.x for Windows, you cannot

link it to your Word for Windows document. The Paste Link button is

unavailable in the Paste Special dialog box in Word.

CAUSE

=====

You cannot link information from Microsoft Access 1.x for the following

reasons:

 - Word 6.0 does not support the CF_OldLink Clipboard format. This format

   (which is supported in Word 2.x), facilitates the creation of DDE

   (dynamic data exchange) links between Word and pre-OLE 1 or OLE 1

   applications. Microsoft Access 1.x (an OLE 1 application) places data

   on the Clipboard in CF_OldLink format, but Word does not support this

   format, so it cannot use it to create a DDE link. Because Word does not

   support the CF_OldLink format, the Paste Link button is available only

   when the data on the clipboard is copied from an OLE 1 or 2 application

   such as Microsoft Excel 5.0.

   -and-

 - Microsoft Access 1.x, even though it supports OLE 1 (which Word 6.0 also

   supports), is not an OLE server application, so it does not provide

   data in the OLE 1 format that Word could use to create a link.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. We

are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem, insert your Microsoft Access 1.x data using

the Database command on the Insert menu (inserts a DATABASE field). For

more information on inserting databases using the ODBC drivers, query on

the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   odbc and database and and access

"Local Port Not Present" Error Printing From Word

Article ID: Q111551

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print in Word for Windows, you may receive the following error

message:

   The current printer is connected to the LPTx: port. This

   port is not present on the computer. Do you wish to

   attempt to print anyway?

If you choose the Continue button, Word prints correctly. If you

switch to the Printers option in Windows Control Panel, a "Local Port

Not Present" message appears next to the specified printer port (LPTx

or COMx).

CAUSE

=====

When you print a document in Word for Windows, Word 6.0 checks for the

presence of the port to which the printer is connected. Word checks for the

printer port using the same method as Windows Control Panel. With some

configurations, however, Word incorrectly concludes that the printer port

is not present. This happens when a printer port device--such as a network

interface adapter or other file sharing device that connects to the printer

port--uses the same port to which your printer is configured. Because

another device is using this port, Windows incorrectly concludes that the

port is not available for printing, even though the configuration prints

correctly.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows.

This problem was corrected in version 6.0a of Word for Windows. Word

6.0a does not check for the presence of the port before printing, so

the above error no longer occurs. If the printer port is truly not

present, Windows Print Manager displays an error message notifying

you of the condition.

WORD 6.0 PROBLEMS CORRECTED IN WORD 6.0A

========================================

Disk Error While Saving, Embedded Object Becomes a Box

------------------------------------------------------

When you move an embedded object within a document using either

cut-and-paste or drag-and-drop, and you then (full) save the document,

the object may change appearance and will be uneditable. The

object usually becomes an empty square box. Subsequent save attempts

will result in "Disk is full," "too many edits," or "operation will

be incomplete" error messages.

Problems Caused By SHARE.EXE Corrected in VSHARE.386

----------------------------------------------------

Word 6.0a includes an updated VSHARE.386 file. This revised version of

VSHARE.386 ships with Word 6.0a to replace SHARE.EXE. This version of

VSHARE.386 provides greater compatibility with many applications running

under Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.1 and later. To run Windows

in standard mode, you still need SHARE.EXE.

"General Mail Failure" Error Editing Routing Slip on a Mail Gateway

-------------------------------------------------------------------

If you edit a routing slip in a Word document, a "General Mail

Failure" error message may occur.

No kerning with Adobe Type Manager (ATM) Fonts

----------------------------------------------

ATM fonts do not print kerned, because ATM fonts use an older application

program interface (API) for kerning; this API is not supported in Word 6.0.

Word 6.0a supports the older API.

"Not available" Error Messages with Adobe Type Manager (ATM) Fonts

------------------------------------------------------------------

Word displays the following error message for a group of Adobe Type 1

fonts, even though they are available on the system:

   The font '<font name>' is not available on your system. Do you want

   to use it anyway?

No Anti-Aliasing for TrueType Fonts

-----------------------------------

On a computer running an ATI Crystal Font video driver (or similar

driver), the Crystal fonts are displayed with clean, nonjagged edges due

to anti-aliasing. TrueType fonts, however, are displayed with jagged edges

because no anti-aliasing occurs.

Can't Remove Space Around Footnote Reference Marks

--------------------------------------------------

By design, Word 6.0 places white space after automatic footnote

reference marks. In response to customer requests, Word 6.0a inserts

the white space as a regular space character to the right of the

footnote reference mark, which means you can edit or remove it if you

want.

Dr. Watson Errors in Examples and Demos

---------------------------------------

The Dr. Watson program displays errors when you choose the Examples And

Demos command from the Help menu.

Cannot Remove Borders on Pictures

---------------------------------

Sometimes you cannot remove a portion of a border from an inserted

picture or object, even when you choose None in the Format Borders

And Shading dialog box.

Cross-References Updated Incorrectly

------------------------------------

Bookmarks for captions change (shrink) to include only the caption

label (instead of the full text of the caption) when you insert new

captions later in the document. When you update cross-references to

these captions, the cross-reference includes only the caption label.

SEQ Field Displayed Incorrectly

-------------------------------

The result of a SEQ (sequence) field in the header and footer pane displays

"1" or "0" (zero) instead of the correct number in the sequence; although

the displayed version of this field is incorrect, the printed version of is

correct.

Password Displays in Converted File

-----------------------------------

If you save a password-protected document in another file format, the

password appears as text in the converted file.

GP Fault Creating New Document Based on Template With Link to Excel

-------------------------------------------------------------------

When you start Word with the /n switch, a general protection (GP) fault

occurs if you create a new Word document based on a template that contains

a link to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

Fonts Printed Without Kerning

-----------------------------

Fonts do not print kerned in point sizes larger than the Kerning For

Fonts setting in the Format Fonts dialog box. Fonts print kerned only if

they are formatted with the point size specified by the Kerning For Fonts

setting.

Word 2.x Mail Merge Document Loses Data Delimiters in Header

------------------------------------------------------------

When you open a Word 2.x for Windows mail merge main document, and if the

data document is not a Word 2.x table, Word 6.0 removes the delimiters from

the header record, which concatenates all the field names in your data

document. In other words, Word reads the header record as a single field

name (for example, NameAddressCityZip).

Different Hierarchy for Choosing Which Same-Name Macro to Run

-------------------------------------------------------------

Word 6.0 follows a different set of rules than Word 2.x to determine which

template macro to run when two macros have the same name: Word 2.x runs the

macro from the template attached to the document in which the insertion

point is currently located, while Word 6.0 runs the macro from the template

from which you launched the macro.

Word 6.0a includes a the following new WordBasic macro command:

   WW2CallingConvention([-1,0])

You can use this command to set either the Word 2.x or Word 6.0 macro

precedence method.

Cannot Open Password-Protected Paradox 3.5 Files

------------------------------------------------

A "File Access Denied" error occurs and you cannot open (via ODBC) a

password-protected file created in Paradox version 3.5 because Word 6.0

does not prompt you for the password. You can open these files in Word 6.0a

because the ODBC driver prompts you for the password.

Insertion Point Scrolls Off Screen with WordPerfect Help On

-----------------------------------------------------------

If the WordPerfect Help option is selected and you press ENTER

several times, Word 6.0 scrolls the insertion point off the bottom of

the screen instead of advancing the screen.

Cannot Create Non-File Links

----------------------------

In Word 6.0, you cannot create a link to server an application that

does not use a filename to reference data. For example, Word 6.0 is

incompatible with a database program that references a database by

name and does not use the name of the file.

Computer Hangs Launching Word as Server When WordPerfect Help Is On

-------------------------------------------------------------------

If the Navigation Keys for WordPerfect Users option is turned on and

you launch Word from another OLE 2 program, your computer may hang

(stop responding) when you press the ESC key. Sometimes it takes

a while for the hang to occur.

GP Fault Updating Large Number of Links

---------------------------------------

A GP fault may occur when you update a large number of links

(typically from 80 to 200).

"Out of Memory" Error Opening Microsoft Excel 5.0 Chart

-------------------------------------------------------

When you open an embedded Microsoft Excel 5.0 chart using the Open

command (to edit the chart in a separate Microsoft Excel window), an

"Out of memory" error message occurs. This does not happen when you

edit the chart in place (in situ) in Word.

Key Assignments Not Saved in Templates

--------------------------------------

Word does not save template key assignments to the TAB and SHIFT+TAB keys.

GP Fault Running Find File Command

----------------------------------

If you start Word using the /n switch and then open the Find File

dialog box (by choosing Find File from the File menu), a GP fault

occurs if the View option is set to Preview in the Find File dialog

box.

Wrong Chapter Numbers on Last Page of Document

----------------------------------------------

The chapter number always displays as "1" on the last page of your

document in page layout view, regardless of the actual chapter

number.

Wrong Chapter Number with Page Break Preceding Heading Paragraph

----------------------------------------------------------------

When your document includes chapter numbers in the page number, if a

page break immediately precedes a heading paragraph that marks the

beginning of a chapter, the wrong chapter number appears in the

header or footer on that page.

Error Messages About Printer Port

---------------------------------

By design, Word 6.0 confirms the validity of a port before printing. If

there is no port present, Word displays an error message. With some

configurations, however, Word incorrectly concludes that the printer port

is not present and displays a "Local Port Not Present" error message.

GP Fault with INCLUDETEXT Field

-------------------------------

If you update an INCLUDETEXT field that references a bookmarked table cell

in another document, a GP fault occurs. This error does not occur if the

bookmark is not in a table cell.

DATE Field Result Clipped in Invoice Template

---------------------------------------------

The result of the DATE field in the third column, first row, of

documents based on the Invoice template (INVOICE.DOT) is truncated on

the right side when you print it.

"General Mail Failure" Error Message with File Routing Slip

Article ID: Q111553

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In a Word for Windows document with a routing slip attached, you may

receive a "General Mail Failure" error message when you choose the Address

button in the File Routing Slip dialog box. When this error message

appears, you cannot use Word to route your document.

CAUSE

=====

The "General Mail Failure" error message appears if the routing slip was

added from a computer using an electronic mail (email) system over a mail

gateway. Word does not check the validity of the names on the To list, so

when the email systems are not the same, the operation stops.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows.

This problem was corrected in version 6.0a of Word for Windows. For

information on obtaining Word 6.0a, see the "How To Obtain Word 6.0a"

section at the bottom of this article.

Different Same-Name Macro Runs in Word 6.0

Article ID: Q111688

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 for Windows, when you run a macro that you created in Word

version 2.x for Windows, errors may occur or Call statements may run a same-

name macro from the wrong template.

CAUSE

=====

Word 6.0 for Windows follows a different set of rules than Word 2.x does to

determine which template macro to run when two macros have the same name:

Word 2.x runs the macro from the template attached to the document where

the insertion point is currently located, and Word 6.0 runs the macro

from the template from which you launched the macro. This difference in

resolving macro naming conflicts may cause errors when you run Word 2.x

macros in Word 6.0.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. This

problem was corrected in version 6.0a of Word for Windows with the addition

of a new WordBasic command, WW2CallingConvention(). In Word 6.0a, you can

use WW2CallingConvention() to toggle between the Word 2.x and Word 6.0

methods for resolving macro name conflicts. Refer to the "More Information"

section below for details about WW2CallingConvention().

For information on obtaining Word 6.0a, see the "How To Obtain Word 6.0a"

section at the bottom of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In both Word versions 2.x and 6.0, you can call one macro from another

using the ToolsMacro statement or the following Call syntax:

   [Call] MacroName[.SubName] [ArgumentList]

In Word 2.x, if there are two macros with the same name, Word runs the

macro from the active template (that is, the template where the insertion

point is located), whereas Word 6.0 runs the macro from the template where

the calling macro resides.

WW2CallingConvention Statement Syntax

-------------------------------------

   WW2CallingConvention [0, 1]

The WW2CallingConvention statement toggles between the Word 6.0 and Word

2.x naming-conflict resolution method.

   Value     Explanation

   -----     -----------

     0       Word 6.0 behavior (in favor of the calling template)

     1       Word 2.x behavior (in favor of the active template)

   NOTE: The default argument is 1. In other words, if you do not include

   an argument, WW2CallingConvention switches to Word 2.x behavior.

WW2CallingConvention() Function Syntax

--------------------------------------

   WW2CallingConvention()

   Value     Explanation

   -----     -----------

     0       Word 6.0 Mode (Word 6.0 calling convention is currently

             in effect)

    -1       Word 2.x Mode (Word 2.x calling convention is currently

             in effect)

Demonstration: Difference Between Word 2.x and Word 6.0 Conventions

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Use the following procedure to demonstrate the difference between the two

WW2CallingConvention settings:

1. Create the following macro in NORMAL.DOT named "Test1":

      Sub Main

      MsgBox "This is from Normal.dot"

      End Sub

2. Create the following macro in TEMPLATE.DOT named "Test1":

      Sub Main

      MsgBox "This is from TEMPLATE.DOT"

      End Sub

3. Create the following macro in NORMAL.DOT named "LikeWord2":

      Sub Main

      WW2CallingConvention 1

      FileNew .Template = "Template.dot"

      Call Test1

      End Sub

4. Create the following macro in NORMAL.DOT named "LikeWord6":

      Sub Main

      WW2CallingConvention 0

      FileNew .Template = "Template.dot"

      Call Test1

      End Sub

5. Run the "LikeWord2" macro.

6. Run the "LikeWord6" macro.

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Article ID: Q111694

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you press ENTER multiple times, when the insertion point reaches the

bottom of the screen, Word for Windows scrolls the insertion point off the

bottom of the screen instead of advancing the screen.

CAUSE

=====

The Help for WordPerfect Users option is selected in the Tools Options

dialog box, under the General tab. If this option is selected, the WPH mode

indicator on the status bar is active.

After Word scrolls the insertion point off the screen, you can retrieve it

by pressing a character or the SPACEBAR. In other words, only the ENTER key

scrolls the insertion point off the screen.

"File Access Denied" Opening Paradox 3.5 Database Via ODBC

Article ID: Q111695

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When Word for Windows attempts to open a Paradox version 3.5 database

file using the open database connectivity (ODBC) driver, a "File

access denied" error may occur.

CAUSE

=====

The "File access denied" error occurs if the Paradox 3.5 file is

password-protected. Word 6.0 does not prompt you for the password, so

you cannot open the file.

NOTE: This is different from the problem you experience if errors

occur when you try to open a database created in Paradox versions

earlier or later than 3.5. For information on that issue, query on

the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   paradox and word6 and 3.5 and password and prompt and odbc and dde

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows.

This problem was corrected in version 6.0a of Word for Windows. In

Word 6.0a, the Paradox 3.5 ODBC driver prompts you for the password,

so you can open password-protected Paradox 3.5 files. Word 6.0a does

NOT fix problems you may have opening a database created in Paradox

versions earlier or later than 3.5. For information on obtaining Word

6.0a, see the "How To Obtain Word 6.0a" section at the bottom of this

Password Revealed in Converted File

Article ID: Q111696

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, if you save a password-protected document in

another file format, the password appears as text in the Protection

Password or Write Reservation Password box and, therefore, is

revealed in the converted file. Word should display only asterisks

in these password boxes at all times. (To locate the Protection

Password and Write Reservation Password boxes, choose Save As from

the File menu and then choose the Options button.)

If you close and then reopen the converted file, the password no

longer appears in either password box. In other words, the password

is only revealed while the converted file is open immediately after

Word converts it.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows.

This problem was corrected in version 6.0a of Word for Windows. For

No Kerning With Adobe Type Manager (ATM) Fonts

Article ID: Q111698

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Adobe Type 1 fonts [installed either as soft fonts or via Adobe Type

Manager (ATM) version 2.5] do not print kerned in Word for Windows.

CAUSE

=====

ATM fonts use a Windows 3.0 printer escape call for kerning that is

not supported in Word 6.0, so ATM fonts do not print kerned. Word 6.0

bases kerning on the API for Windows 3.1 and later.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows.

This problem was corrected in version 6.0a of Word for Windows. Word

6.0a supports the API for both Windows 3.0 and 3.1 for the kerning of

Adobe Type 1 fonts. For information on obtaining Word 6.0a, see the

"How To Obtain Word 6.0a" section at the bottom of this article.

NEWS: MS Offers Word Support for Former WordPerfect Users

Article ID: Q111717

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article contains the text of the February 16, 1994, press

release entitled "Microsoft Offers New Support Option for Former

WordPerfect Users Moving to Word for Windows."

MORE INFORMATION

================

For Release 6 a.m. PST

February 16, 1994

MICROSOFT OFFERS NEW SUPPORT OPTION FOR FORMER

WORDPERFECT USERS MOVING TO WORD FOR WINDOWS

==========================================================================

REDMOND, Wash. — Feb. 16, 1994 — Microsoft Corporation announced

today that on February 22nd it will roll out a special telephone

support option for former users of WordPerfect(R) for MS-DOS(R) who

switch to Microsoft(R) Word for Windows(TM). Callers to the standard

support service for Microsoft Word will be given the option to

connect to a support engineer specifically trained on WordPerfect

product and customer issues. The new telephone support option was

created to assist the more than one-million users of WordPerfect who

have already moved to Microsoft Word for Windows as well as those

expected to make the switch.

"With the recent WordPerfect Corporation announcements that they are

ending their lifetime free support and discontinuing development of

their MS-DOS-based word processor, we wanted to prepare for an

upsurge in interest in Word from WordPerfect users," said Pete

Higgins, senior vice president, desktop applications division at

Microsoft. "We believe this new support option will help ensure that

WordPerfect users moving to Word get their questions answered quickly

and effectively."

Over the past two years, Word has emerged as the new word processing

leader, garnering both critical acclaim and increasing market

success. In January, Word was named the best selling word processor

for 1993 by Dataquest (based on preliminary estimates of worldwide

revenue), and just this month, Word for Windows version 6.0 won both

the InfoWorld and Windows Sources word processing comparative

reviews.

New Support Option Focuses on Issues

Important to Former Users of WordPerfect

----------------------------------------

The new support option for former WordPerfect users will focus on

getting users comfortable, as well as helping them with file

conversion and other transition issues. The designated support

engineers at Microsoft undergo comprehensive training to gain a solid

understanding of WordPerfect features and terminology. This knowledge

allows the engineers to best meet users' needs.

Microsoft Word Designed with Former Users of WordPerfect in Mind

----------------------------------------------------------------

Microsoft Word 6.0 for Windows includes a number of features created

specifically for former users of WordPerfect. The Help for

WordPerfect feature lets users enter a familiar WordPerfect command

and then watch as Word for Windows demonstrates how to perform the

equivalent function in Word--enabling users to learn as they work.

The robust file import and export is based on research compiled from

more than 1,000 documents collected from users of WordPerfect. Word

for Windows even has a "Reveal Formats" similar to WordPerfect's

Reveal Codes feature.

"We know there can be some concern when moving to a new product, so

we've done everything we can to make former users of WordPerfect feel

comfortable in their new environment," said Chris Peters, vice

president, Office business unit at Microsoft. "If they need product

Word 6.0a Patch Error: "Cannot Locate WINWORD.EXE"

Article ID: Q111718

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run UPGRADE.EXE to upgrade Word version 6.0 for Windows to

Word version 6.0a for Windows, the following error message may occur:

   Cannot locate the file <path>\WINWORD.EXE

CAUSE

=====

If you renamed your Word 6.0 program file to something other than

WINWORD.EXE, the Word 6.0a Patch cannot locate the file. You may have

renamed WINWORD.EXE in order to run both Word 2.x and Word 6.0 at the

same time.

If you choose either the OK or Cancel button in the "Cannot locate

WINWORD.EXE" dialog box, the following message appears:

   The patch to file <path>\WINWORD.EXE was not applied.

If you chose OK in this dialog box, UPGRADE continues to run.

If you chose Cancel in the previous dialog box, UPGRADE stops.

RESOLUTION

==========

To complete the installation of Word 6.0a, do the following to rename your

Word 6.0 program file and rerun UPGRADEU:

1. Exit UPGRADE and rename your Word 6.0 program file to WINWORD.EXE

   (note the name if you need to restore it after you upgrade to

   Word 6.0a).

2. Run UPGRADE again to install Word 6.0a.

3. If necessary, rename WINWORD.EXE to the previous name.

Large Embedded Object Is Cropped When Pasted into Word

Article ID: Q111748

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOM

=======

When you select a large range in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and paste or

paste link it into Word as an Excel Worksheet Object or as a Picture,

columns may be cropped from the right or rows may be cropped from the

bottom. This may happen even though there appears to be enough room on the

Word document page to accommodate the entire range selected.

CAUSE

=====

A "picture" and the presentation of an embedded object are Windows

metafiles. The Windows operating system limits the height and width of a

Windows metafile. Microsoft Excel sets the height and width of the picture

or object presentation by using the Microsoft Excel page size at 100-

percent zoom. If the selection in Microsoft Excel exceeds approximately 20

columns (the default width) or approximately 75 rows, the resulting picture

will not reflect the entire selection. Word will scale the picture when it

is pasted into the document so it may appear that there is room on the page

to accommodate a larger picture.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Paste or paste link formatted or unformatted text into Word.

Method 2: Reduce the font and column size in Microsoft Excel.

Word 6.0a Patch Cover Letter and Troubleshooting Guide

Article ID: Q111765

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article contains the complete text of the cover letter supplied with

the Word version 6.0a for Windows patch (UPGRADE.DOC).

At the end of this article, in the "Additional Error Messages" section,

there is a list of the Word 6.0a patch error messages that are NOT

documented in UPGRADE.DOC. This section includes troubleshooting

information.

For information about the problems corrected in Word 6.0a, query on the

following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   fixlist6.00a and word6

MORE INFORMATION

================

Thank you for choosing Microsoft Word, the world's most popular word

processor. By running the UPGRADE.EXE program contained on the disk

in this package, you can upgrade Microsoft Word 6.0 to version 6.0a.

You must have Microsoft Word 6.0 already installed on your hard

drive, because this disk contains only the differences between Word

6.0 and Word 6.0a. In addition, you must have 8 MB of space available

on your hard drive. During the upgrade process, UPGRADE.EXE creates a

duplicate of some of the Word 6.0 application files and stores them

as temporary files on your hard drive. These temporary files will be

deleted when the upgrade is complete.

Note: This disk is intended for upgrading the installation on your

local hard drive, not network installations. To upgrade a shared

installation on a network server, you must use a complete Word 6.0a

disk set. Contact the Microsoft Sales and Information Center at 800-426-

9400 to obtain a full disk set of Word 6.0a.

UPGRADE.EXE examines the Word 6.0 application on your hard drive,

comparing the dates of the Word 6.0 application files to the dates on

the upgrade disk. If the dates on the Word 6.0 application files are

earlier, UPGRADE.EXE copies the new portions from the upgrade disk

into the application files on your hard drive. This upgrade does not

affect your existing documents. However, when you open a Word 6.0

document in Word 6.0a, the document will be converted to the newer

format.

To Upgrade From Word 6.0 to Word 6.0a

=====================================

1. Close all applications, including Word.

2. If Windows is not running, start Windows.

3. Insert the Microsoft Word 6.0a for Windows Update Disk in the

   appropriate high-density floppy disk drive.

4. In the Program Manager window, choose Run from the File menu.

5. In the Command Line box, type the drive letter for the drive

   containing the Upgrade disk, followed by a colon and the word

   "upgrade.exe". For example, type "a:upgrade.exe" (without the

   quotation marks). Then choose the OK button.

6. Follow the instructions on the screen. When the upgrade is

   complete, choose the OK button.

TROUBLESHOOTING

===============

Listed below are the possible error messages that might come up

during the installation, along with an explanation of the

circumstances that might cause the error and suggestions for

correcting the problem. In most cases, when you click the OK button

in the message box, UPGRADE.EXE skips the file listed in the message

and continues upgrading the remaining files.

[...] is not the correct version for this upgrade

-------------------------------------------------

This message appears if the version of Word on your hard drive is

anything other than Word 6.0. Reinstall Word 6.0, then use

UPGRADE.EXE to upgrade to Word 6.0a.

There is insufficient disk space to complete this upgrade

---------------------------------------------------------

When you start UPGRADE.EXE, the program checks the disk space

available on your hard drive. If insufficient space is available,

this message appears and the upgrade is stopped. During the upgrade,

you should have approximately 8 MB of space available on your hard

drive.

There is insufficient memory to complete this upgrade

-----------------------------------------------------

There is insufficient RAM memory available. Close other applications

and restart your computer.

Unable to initialize the application

Unable to initialize the task instance

Unable to initialize the Windows timer

--------------------------------------

UPGRADE.EXE or one if its components is unable to run. Close other

applications and restart your computer, then run UPGRADE.EXE.

Unable to find the stf file in the win.ini

------------------------------------------

This message indicates that your existing Word 6.0 installation is

incomplete. Reinstall Word 6.0, and then run UPGRADE.EXE again.

Unable to create a temporary file

---------------------------------

During the upgrade process, UPGRADE.EXE creates a duplicate of some

Word 6.0 application files and stores them as temporary files on your

hard drive. These temporary files will be deleted when the upgrade is

complete. This message appears if you have insufficient space

available on your hard drive for these temporary files to be created.

Delete unnecessary files on your hard drive to free up space, and

then run UPGRADE.EXE again.

Cannot locate the file [...]

----------------------------

UPGRADE.EXE looks for the components of Word 6.0 in their default

locations--that is, the locations where they were originally

installed. You may have moved or deleted the file. When you click the

OK button, the upgrade will skip that component and continue

upgrading the components it can locate. (If you suspect that some of

the original Word 6.0 components may have been deleted or moved, you

can ensure a complete upgrade by reinstalling Word 6.0 before running

UPGRADE.EXE.)

A file system error has occurred on file [...]

----------------------------------------------

The file listed in the message may be open. For example, the Word

Help file might be open even though Word is not running. Look for

other applications that are keeping the file open or locked and close

those applications.

Cannot open the file [...]

--------------------------

This message occurs if the file that is being upgraded is currently

open. Click OK to continue without upgrading that particular file.

Then close all files and run UPGRADE.EXE again.

The patch to file [...] was not applied

---------------------------------------

The target file on your hard drive may be corrupt. Restart your

computer and run UPGRADE.EXE again. If you receive the same message

on the same file, try deleting the specified file, reinstalling Word

6.0, and then running UPGRADE.EXE again.

There is an error reading file [...]

------------------------------------

There may have been an operating system error. Restart your computer

and run UPGRADE.EXE again.

There is an error writing file [...]

------------------------------------

You may have run out of disk space on your hard drive. Click OK to

skip this file and continue the upgrade. When the upgrade is

finished, delete some unneeded files to make room on your hard drive,

and then run UPGRADE.EXE again to upgrade the file or files that were

skipped.

Error writing to system.ini

---------------------------

This message occurs if the system.ini file is locked by some other

application, such as a text editor. Close all other applications and

DOS sessions and run UPGRADE.EXE again.

ADDITIONAL ERROR MESSAGES

=========================

The following error messages may occur when you install the Word 6.0a

patch, but they are not included in the UPGRADE.DOC cover letter supplied

with the patch.

Cannot Find SETUP.STF in WIN.INI

--------------------------------

This message occurs, and the installation aborts, if the Word 6.0a patch

cannot find a valid SETUP.STF line in the [MS Setup (ACME) Table Files]

section of your WIN.INI file. This happens if you last installed a beta

version of Word 6.0 (a pre-release version of the application used for

testing) instead of the retail version of the product (from the Word

program disks) or if you have already upgraded to Word 6.0a. To resolve

this error message, you must remove the beta Word version and install Word

6.0 using the disks that came with your Word package; then you can run

UPGRADE.EXE to install the Word 6.0a patch.

The following is a valid WIN.INI entry that the patch can use to find your

Word 6.0 SETUP.STF file:

[MS Setup (ACME) Table Files]

WINWORD.EXE@v6.0.0.2226(1033)=C:\WINWORD\SETUP\SETUP.STF

In the above WIN.INI entry, if 2226 is any other number, the line is

invalid and the error message occurs. If the number is 2513, you have

previously performed a full installation of Word 6.0a (using the full disk

set instead of the patch), so you do not need to run the patch. To double-

check the version of Word you have installed, choose About Microsoft Word

from the Help menu in Word.

IMPORTANT: You cannot resolve this error by manually modifying or adding

the above WIN.INI entry. If you do this, the patch might modify the wrong

code in your Word files, which could have unexpected results.

Wrong Version of WWINTL.DLL Loaded

----------------------------------

This error message occurs if you run the U.S. version of the Word 6.0a

patch on an international localized version of Word 6.0. After you finish

or quit running the patch, you may be unable to start your localized

version of Word. If this happens, do the following to restore

functionality:

1. Run Word Setup and choose the Uninstall installation option.

2. Run Word Setup again to reinstall Word 6.0.

To upgrade your localized version of Word 6.0 to Word 6.0a, obtain the

patch from the Microsoft subsidiary for your area. To locate your

subsidiary, call Microsoft International Customer Service at (206) 936-

8661.

Recently Used File List Does Not Update After Opening Document

Article ID: Q111766

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If Norton Desktop version 3.0 for Windows (NDW) is installed, Word

for Windows may not update the Recently Used Files list (also known

as the 1, 2, 3, 4 Command) on the File menu when you open a file.

CAUSE

=====

The NDW FileAssist utility adds a FileOpen macro to Word that does

not correctly update the Recently Used Files list. By contrast, the

NDW FileOpen macro, which was written for use with Word 2.x for

Windows, correctly updates the Word 2.x Recently Used File list.

WORKAROUND

==========

To restore the functionality of the Recently Used Files list, rename

or delete the global FileOpen macro installed by NDW. For assistance

with this procedure, see pages 752-754 in the Word 6.0 "User's

Guide."

MORE INFORMATION

================

The NDW FileAssist utility installs modified FileOpen, FileSave, and

FileSaveAs macro commands as global macros in any application, such

as Word 6.0, that does not use COMMDLG.DLL. These macros enhance the

functionality of each command, but the NDW FileOpen macro fails to

retain the functionality of the Recently Used File list in Word 6.0.

GP Fault  in MSSPELL.DLL

Article ID: Q111835

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A general protection (GP) fault may occur in Word for Windows if you run

the Soft-Art Dictionary spelling checker supplied with Microsoft Excel,

Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Publisher, or Microsoft Mail.

CAUSE

=====

The Soft-Art shared spelling checker uses a different .DLL (MSSPELL.DLL)

than the one used by the International CorrectSpell spelling checker

(MSSPEL2.DLL) supplied with Word 6.0.

The Soft-Art .DLL uses MS-DOS file handles. When Word runs this .DLL, if

the FILES setting in your CONFIG.SYS file is too low, a GP fault soon

occurs. You can delay the occurrence of the GP fault by increasing the

FILES setting, but the GP fault eventually occurs in Word, no matter how

much you increase the FILES setting.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 and 6.0a for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here

in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

This problem was corrected in Microsoft Excel 5.0c for Windows. For more

information, please see the following article(s) in the Microsoft Knowledge

Base:

    ARTICLE-ID: Q112027

    TITLE     : XL5: GP Fault Checking Spelling in Worksheet

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Change the Spelling setting in the [Microsoft Word] section of

          your WINWORD6.INI file (located in the Windows program

          directory) so it points to the location of the Word 6.0 spelling

          checker files. The following is a sample WINWORD6.INI entry that

          points to the Word 6.0 spelling checker files. (Note: For Word

          6.0 this setting takes precedence over any other spelling

          setting in other .INI files.)

             [Microsoft Word]

             Spelling 1033,0=C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\PROOF\MSSPEL2.DLL,

             C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\PROOF\MSSP2_EN.LEX

Method 2: Change the Spelling setting in the [MS Proofing Tools] section of

          the WIN.INI file (located in the Windows program directory) so

          it points to the location of the Word 6.0 spelling checker files

          The following is a sample WIN.INI entry that points to the

          Word 6.0 spelling checker files. (Note: This setting changes the

          location of the spelling checker for all applications that share

          the MS Proofing Tools, including Word, unless you set a

          different location in WINWORD6.INI, as described in Method 1

          above.)

             [MS Proofing Tools]

             Spelling 1033,0=C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\PROOF\MSSPEL2.DLL,

Printing Envelopes from Word 6.0 on the HP DeskJet 500C

Article ID: Q111836

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how to print letter-size and other size envelopes

from Word for Windows on the Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskJet 500C printer.

There is a troubleshooting section at the end of the article.

The information in this article assumes you have version 3.1 or later of

the HP DeskJet printer driver (DESKJETC.DRV). If you do not have this

driver, you can obtain it from HP by phoning (303) 353-7650.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Printing Standard Letter-Size Envelopes (COM 10)

------------------------------------------------

Size 10 (COM 10) envelopes print correctly from Word on the HP DeskJet 500C

using the default settings in the printer driver and in the Tools Envelopes

and Labels dialog box. Use the following instructions to print Size 10

envelopes on the DeskJet 500C:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Envelopes And Labels.

2. If necessary, type the Delivery Address and Return Address information.

3. Choose the Options button.

4. Select the Printing Options tab.

5. If it is available, choose the Reset button. (If the button is

   unavailable, you are already using the default printer driver settings.)

6. Select the Envelope Options tab.

7. From the Envelope Size list, select Size 10, and then choose OK.

8. Insert the envelope into the manual feed slot as shown in the diagram on

   the manual feed tray on your printer. Insert the envelopes until it

   presses against the feed rollers. Do not preload the envelope using the

   Load button on the printer.

9. In the Envelopes and Labels dialog box, choose the Print button. The

   printer pulls the envelope from the manual feed tray and prints

   correctly.

Printing Custom Envelope Sizes

------------------------------

Custom envelope sizes are not supported by the DeskJet 500C printer or

driver, so they do not print correctly. The HP DeskJet 500C only supports

COM 10 size envelopes.

Note: You cannot work around this limitation by formatting a 8.5-by-11-inch

document with large margins and printing on an envelope. This does not work

because the printer detects when you feed non-letter-size paper. If you use

this method, the printer ejects the blank envelope or it prints a portion

of the address on the envelope and the remainder on a page pulled from the

letter tray.

Troubleshooting Tips

--------------------

If the text on the envelope prints incorrectly, use the following

steps to troubleshoot the problem:

1. You may be running a video driver that conflicts with the DeskJet.

   Switch to the standard VGA video driver supplied with Windows to resolve

   this problem.

2. Third-party font packages sometimes cause unexpected printing results.

   To rule out this cause, disable the font package and print the envelope

   again.

3. To ensure that no Word macros are running that might modify your printer

   or font settings, exit Word and restart it with the /A switch. (This

   switch runs Word with no add-in programs.)

Error: "The WIN-OS/2 Session Doesn't Support This Application"

Article ID: Q111852

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - IBM OS/2 operating system version 2.0, 2.1

 - Microsoft Project for Windows version 4.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you run the Word for Windows Setup program under IBM OS/2 version 2.0,

Setup immediately fails and the following error message appears:

   The Win-OS/2 session does not support this application.

CAUSE

=====

The minimum requirement to install and run Word is Windows 3.1. OS/2

version 2.0 provides Windows 3.0 functionality, so it does not meet the

minimum requirement for Word.

WORKAROUND

==========

Method 1: Upgrade to OS/2 version 2.1, which provides Windows support

          equivalent to Windows 3.1.

Method 2: Use Windows 3.1 or later.

Duplicate Menu Commands and Standard Toolbar Buttons

Article ID: Q111853

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word Assistant version 1.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If the Standard toolbar in your NORMAL.DOT (global) template contains

custom buttons, these buttons appear twice on the Standard toolbar after

you apply Special Paper formatting using the Word Assistant Special Paper

command on the Insert menu.

Similarly, if you customize the menus in your Normal template, any command

you added appears twice on the menu after you apply Special Paper

formatting.

CAUSE

=====

When you choose the Special Paper command from the Insert menu, Word

Assistant attaches the Special Paper template (SPECPPR.DOT) to your Word

document. This template reproduces the menus and Standard toolbar from your

Normal template, but doing so duplicates any custom menu commands and

toolbar buttons.

Word Assistant duplicates custom menu commands and toolbar buttons only if

your document is attached to the Normal template. If your document is

attached to any other template, this does not happen.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word Assistant

version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Modifying Advanced Printer Settings in Word 6.0 for Windows

Article ID: Q111884

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how you can modify individual printer behavior in

Word for Windows using three settings in your WINWORD6.INI file: Flags,

FixWhiteText, and FixDrawShowThru. In most cases, Word has already preset

these settings for your printer, but sometimes you need to modify the

behavior of a specific printer to meet your printing needs. In the

MACRO60.DOT file, located in the MACROS subdirectory, Word supplies a

SetPrintFlags macro that you can use to modify these WINWORD6.INI printer

settings.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In WINWORD6.INI, Word stores printer settings in a section with the same

name as your printer (use the printer name as it appears in the File Print

dialog box). For example, the WINWORD6.INI section heading for an HP IIIsi

is [HP LaserJet IIIsi].

You should use the SetPrintFlags macro to modify these settings instead of

editing WINWORD6.INI by hand. The macro ensures the correct syntax of the

settings. Furthermore, you can choose the macro's Default button to restore

the default settings for your printer driver.

The following sections describe the specific use of each WINWORD6.INI

printer setting.

FLAGS SETTING

=============

The Flags setting uses several bitfields to affect specific printer

behaviors (one bit per behavior). The table below describes each Flags

setting, including its bitfield value and those printers for which Word

hard codes the setting.

                                                       Printers

Description                             Value          Hard-Coded in Word

-----------                             -----          ------------------

Use Word 2.0 for Windows bitmapped       +1

patterns to draw shading.

Send mixed pages as multiple             +2

print jobs.

   Note: Word uses the ResetDC printer command in the middle of a print job

   to reset paper size and bin settings. When you set the +2 Flag, Word

   sends each different paper size or paper source as a separate print job

   instead of using the ResetDC command.

Simulate smart quotes and                +4            HPPCL5A.DRV

nonbreaking hyphens in

non-scaled fonts.

   Note: For fonts that do not contain the necessary characters

   for various publishing characters, Word simulates these characters.

Request only standard paper              +8            Linotronic

sizes from driver.

   Note: For printer drivers that do not support custom paper sizes,

   this setting limits Word to default paper sizes.

Use low resolution bitmap               +16

patterns for hatched shading.

Disable paper size and tray handling.   +32            Toshiba

   Note: This setting disables the ExtDeviceCapabilities call, which

   determines the paper tray and size capabilities of the printer driver.

   With some printer drivers, ExtDeviceCapabilities causes random problems

   (such as incorrect print-out or GP fault), so you need to disable it.

Disable background printing.            +64            DESKJETC.DRV

                                                       HPPCL5C.DRV

   Notes About Flags Setting

   -------------------------

   To add a Flags setting to those that are hard coded in Word (see the

   list in the "Printers Hard Coded in Word" column of the preceding

   table), type a plus sign (+) in front of the value. For example, to

   disable background printing for the HPPCL5A printer driver and leave

   the hard-coded Flags setting intact, use the following WINWORD6.INI

   entry:

      [HP LaserJet IIISi]

      Flags= +64

   To override the Flags settings that are hard coded in Word and replace

   them with new settings, omit the plus sign (+) in front of the value.

   For example, to cancel the "Simulate Smart Quotes and Nonbreaking

   Hyphens" setting (+4) and replace it with the Disable Background

   Printing setting, use the following WINWORD6.INI entry:

      [HP LaserJet IIISi]

      Flags= 64

   To set more than one Flags setting, add the two values. For example, to

   set both "Disable Background Printing" (+64) and "Disable Paper Size and

   Tray Handling" (+32) for the HPPCL5A driver, use the following

   WINWORD6.INI entry:

      [HP LaserJet IIISi]

      Flags= +96

      Note: This sets the two desired flags (32 + 64 = 96) and leaves all

      the hard-coded settings intact (because of the plus sign).

WHITE TEXT AND SOLID OBJECTS SETTING

====================================

Some printers do not print white text on a dark background or they do

not support the partial clipping of text characters by opaque

objects. For these printers, Word turns on the Print TrueType as

Graphics option in the printer driver itself, and Word draws the

images instead of the printer driver. Two flags control this

behavior: FixWhiteText and FixDrawShowThru. The following table

describes each setting and its values and lists the printers for

which Word hard codes the setting:

Setting, Values        Description, Printers Hard Coded in Word

---------------        ----------------------------------------

FixWhiteText           Print TrueType as graphics if page

                       contains white text on a shaded background.

   1 = on              HPPCL, PCL4, LBPII, OKILED.

   0 = off

FixDrawShowThru        Print TrueType as graphics if page

                       contains text that is being clipped by

                       drawing objects.

   1 = on              HPPCL# (all drivers in the HPPCL family

   0 = off             require this setting), LBPII, OKILED.

UPDATED OR NEW PRINTER DRIVERS

==============================

Many of these hard-coded WINWORD6.INI settings work around problems

in a specific version of a printer driver. In some cases, Word

overrides the hard-coded, built-in WINWORD6.INI flags if it detects

an updated version of the printer driver that is known to fix a

certain problem. If Word overrides these flags for a printer driver

that does not fix the problem, however, you may need to reset the

flag. Similarly, for recent releases of printer drivers that fix a

problem after Word was released, Word does not override the built-in

setting, so you may need to add or change a WINWORD6.INI printer

setting to accommodate the updated printer driver. Contact Microsoft

Product Support Services (PSS) for updated information on the status

of your printer driver if you are not sure which printer settings to

set.

Incorrect Results in Formulas Using ABOVE, BELOW, LEFT, RIGHT

Article ID: Q111886

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A formula field in a table yields an incorrect result when it includes

ABOVE, BELOW, LEFT, or RIGHT if the defined range contains noncontiguous

values (in other words, if there is one or more blank cell between two

values).

For example, the formula in cell A4 of the following table shows a result

of 4 instead of 7:

   |------------------|

   |               3  |

   |------------------|

   |                  |

   |------------------|

   |               4  |

   |------------------|

   |   {=SUM(ABOVE)}  |

   |------------------|

CAUSE

=====

Word calculates correctly up to the first empty table cell, then stops.

Word does not calculate any values beyond the first empty cell.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Type zero (0) in any blank cells.

Method 2: For a range that contains one or more blank cells, use cell

          references to define the range instead of ABOVE, BELOW, LEFT, or

          RIGHT. In the sample table above, use the following formula

          field to obtain a correct result:

             {=SUM(A1:A3)}

Labels Lose Paragraph Indent Formatting

Article ID: Q111887

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you apply paragraph indent formatting to the Label Address text in the

Tools Envelopes And Labels dialog box, Word for Windows may not retain that

formatting when you print the labels or add them to a new document.

CAUSE

=====

Word fails to retain the indent formatting when you apply it to a paragraph

other than the first paragraph in the Label Address box. For example, if

you apply a .5-inch left indent to the second paragraph, it displays

indented in the Tools Envelopes And Labels dialog box, but when you print

the label or choose the New Document button, Word removes the indent

formatting.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. We are

researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Insert tabs (by pressing CTRL+TAB) to manually indent lines in

          your labels.

Method 2: Apply some kind of paragraph indent formatting to the first

          paragraph in the Label Address box. When you do this, Word

          retains the paragraph formatting in subsequent paragraphs. To

          apply paragraph formatting in the Tools Envelopes And Labels

          dialog box, click the right mouse button in the Address box, or

          press SHIFT+F10, to open the shortcut menu and then choose

          Paragraph.

Word 6.0a Patch Supplies but Does Not Install PRESENT.DOT

Article ID: Q112093

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Word version 6.0a for Windows patch supplies a new template file,

PRESENT.DOT, but may not copy it to your <WINWORD>\TEMPLATE subdirectory.

The file remains in the directory where you originally placed the Word 6.0a

patch files.

The "Workaround" section in this article contains step-by-step instructions

you can use to install the PRESENT.DOT template in Word.

Note: The PRESENT.DOT template contains the PresentIt macro, which exports

the outline information in the current Word document into Microsoft

PowerPoint. The PRESENT.DOT template adds the Present It button to the

Microsoft toolbar.

CAUSE

=====

The Word 6.0a patch installs the PRESENT.DOT template only if it finds

Microsoft Office installed on your computer. It does not install

PRESENT.DOT if you installed Microsoft PowerPoint on your computer as a

stand-alone application, independent of the Microsoft Office package.

Note: The PRESENT.DOT template is unnecessary if you do not have Microsoft

PowerPoint.

WORKAROUND

==========

IMPORTANT: Use Method 1 if you have Word 6.0c, use Method 2 if you

           have Word 6.0a, and use Method 3 if you have Word 6.0.

Method 1: Word 6.0c Only

------------------------

          Word 6.0c supplies the PresentIt macro and Present It toolbar as

          part of the CONVERT.DOT template file, so you can copy them from

          CONVERT.DOT to your Normal (global) template using the following

          instructions:

          a. Start Word 6.0c and create a new document based on the Normal

             template (to do this, choose the New button on the Standard

             toolbar).

          b. From the File menu, choose Templates.

          c. Choose the Organizer button, and select the Macros tab.

          d. Choose the left Close File button (the button changes to an

             Open File button).

          e. Choose the left Open File button.

          f. Select PRESENT.DOT, which is located in the <WINWORD>\MACROS

             subdirectory (where <WINWORD> is your Word 6.0c program

             directory) and then choose OK.

          g. Select PresentIt in the In PRESENT.DOT box and then choose

             the Copy >> button. PresentIt should now appear in the To

             NORMAL.DOT box on the right.

          h. Select the Toolbars tab in the Organizer dialog box.

          i. In the In CONVERT.DOT box, select Present It, and then choose

             the Copy button. Present It should now appear in the To

             NORMAL.DOT box on the right.

          j. Choose the Close button to exit the Organizer dialog box.

          k. To turn on the Present It toolbar, choose Toolbars from the

             View menu. In the Toolbars list, select Present It so an X

             appears in the check box. Choose OK.

             Word saves these changes to your Normal template when

             you quit Word.

          Note: If you want to move the PresentIt button from the Present

          It toolbar to the Microsoft toolbar, you must do it manually,

          using the Customize command on the Tools menu (select the

          Toolbars tab). For specific instructions, see the procedure in

          Workaround Method 2 below in this article.

Method 2: Word 6.0a Only

------------------------

          If you have PowerPoint and want to use the PRESENT.DOT template,

          you can manually copy the PRESENT.DOT file from the location

          where you expanded your Word 6.0a patch files to your

          <WINWORD>\TEMPLATE subdirectory.

          You can use the Organizer dialog box in Word to add the PresentIt

          macro or Present It toolbar to your Normal (global) template. (To

          open the Organizer dialog box, choose Macros from the Tools menu

          and then choose the Organizer button. Select the Macros tab to

          copy the PresentIt macro, or select the Toolbars tab to copy the

          Present It toolbar.) For specific instructions, see the procedure

          in Workaround Method 3 below in this article.

          Note: If you add the PresentIt macro or Present It toolbar to

          your Normal (global) template, Word does not add the Present It

          button to your Microsoft toolbar. You can either use the Present

          It toolbar separately, or you can add the Present It button to

          your Microsoft toolbar manually, using the following

          instructions:

          a. Open or create a document based on the Normal template.

          b. From the View menu, choose Toolbars.

          c. In the Toolbars box, select Microsoft so an X appears in

              the check box next to it. Choose OK.

          d. From the Tools menu, choose Customize.

          e. Select the Toolbars tab.

          f. In the Categories box, select Macros.

          g. In the Macros box, select PresentIt.

          h. Drag the PresentIt macro and drop it on the Microsoft

             toolbar (notice that the mouse pointer changes to a

             gray-outlined square). When you drop the macro, the Custom

             Button dialog box opens.

          i. In the Custom Button dialog box, select the PowerPoint button

             (the PowerPoint button is the seventh button in the fourth

             row), and then choose the Assign button. You should now see

             the PowerPoint button on the Microsoft toolbar.

          j. In the Tools Customize dialog box, select Normal.dot from the

             Save Changes In list, then choose the Close button.

Method 3: Word 6.0 Only

-----------------------

          Word 6.0 supplies the PresentIt macro and Present It toolbar as

          part of the CONVERT.DOT template file, so you can copy them from

          CONVERT.DOT to your Normal (global) template using the following

          instructions:

          a. Start Word 6.0 and create a new document based on the Normal

             template (to do this, choose the New button on the Standard

             toolbar).

          b. From the File menu, choose Templates.

          c. Choose the Organizer button, and then select the Macros tab.

          d. Choose the left Close File button (the button changes to an

              Open File button).

          e. Choose the left Open File button.

          f. Select CONVERT.DOT, which is located in the <WINWORD>\MACROS

             subdirectory (where <WINWORD> is your Word 6.0 program

             directory) and then choose OK.

          g. Select PresentIt in the In CONVERT.DOT box and then choose

             the Copy >> button. PresentIt should now appear in the To

             NORMAL.DOT box on the right.

          h. Select the Toolbars tab in the Organizer dialog box.

          i. In the In CONVERT.DOT box, select Present It, and then choose

             the Copy button. Present It should now appear in the To

             NORMAL.DOT box on the right.

          j. Choose the Close button to exit the Organizer dialog box.

          k. To turn on the Present It toolbar, choose Toolbars from the

             View menu. In the Toolbars list, select Present It so an X

             appears in the check box. Choose OK.

             Word saves these changes to your Normal template when

             you quit Word.

          Note: If you want to move the PresentIt button from the Present

          It toolbar to the Microsoft toolbar, you must do it manually,

          using the Customize command on the Tools menu (select the

          Toolbars tab). For specific instructions, see the procedure in

Obtaining a CASS Certified Number for a Mailing List

Article ID: Q112094

kbprint

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When doing a direct (or bulk) mailing, it may be necessary to get a CASS

(Coding Accuracy Support System) certified number in order to get a bar

code discount.

MORE INFORMATION

================

A CASS certification service or program confirms an address list against

the post office's address list and ensures that the addresses contain

proper address locations. The certification service or program then

produces a 3553 form; the customer submits the 3553 form to the post office

when he or she does a bulk mailing. Once the bulk mailing list is CASS

certified, the customer may receive a discount on the bulk mailing postage.

This discount applies to quantities of 200 or more addresses.

There are three ways to get an address list CASS coded:

1. Call the National Customer Support Center (NCSC) at (800) 238-3150 and

   it will do a one-time-only CASS coding of up to 500,000 address records

   at no charge. The process generally takes three to four weeks.

2. Call the NCSC at (800) 238-3150 and ask for a CASS Certified Vendor

   List. Use one of the vendors to get the address list CASS coded. (This

   is not free. Each vendor has its own price.)

3. Buy one of the CASS Certified Address Matching Programs (available in

   the vendor list mentioned in option 2) and a subscription to the U.S.

   Postal Service's ZIP+4 database (also handled by the NCSC), and CASS

   code the list that way. This option requires a CD-ROM drive.

With any of these methods, you will be given (or the address-matching

software will produce) a Postal Form 3553. You must present this form to

your local post office each time you do a bulk mailing to receive the bulk

mailing discount.

How does Word fit in?

---------------------

Once you have gotten the address list CASS coded, you can run the list

through Word's mail merge feature to generate the bar coded envelopes you

need for an additional bar code postage discount. The only discounts now

available are for the 11-digit or delivery point bar code, which Word

generates using ZIP+4 ZIP Codes. This discount applies only to letter-size

mail. You can obtain additional discounts by sorting the address according

to the local "Manager or Rates and Classifications" specifications. Contact

your local post office and ask for these specification to get the latest

information about postal rates.

Note: The NCSC does not have any information on rates. To obtain postal

rate information, you must contact the local post office and ask for the

"Manager of Rates and Classifications."

How to Change the Color of the Desktop in Page Layout View

Article ID: Q112095

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The color of the desktop behind your Word for Windows document in page

layout view is the Windows Text color setting, which you can set by

choosing the Colors icon in Windows Control Panel. If your Windows Text

color setting is white, the desktop is gray; if your Windows Text color is

cyan, the desktop is grayed cyan, and so forth.

In Word 2.x, the page layout desktop color is the Windows Application

Workspace color setting.

If you change the Window Text color setting, not only does the desktop

color change, but the color of the Word document window changes as well.

Removing Setup Billboards to Speed Network Installation

Article ID: Q112162

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT

YOUR OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this SETUP.STF modification information

"as is" without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including

but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness

for a particular purpose.

When performing a Workstation installation of Word for Windows, the number

of billboards that are loaded may slow down the installation process.

Billboards are the images displayed on the screen while Word is being

installed. To make Word load only the first billboard and keep it on the

screen for the entire installation, thereby speeding up Setup, do the

following:

NOTE: The following modifications to SETUP.STF should be performed on the

server installation.

1. Make a backup of the SETUP.STF file, by copying SETUP.STF to

   SETUPSTF.BAK.

2. Make a working copy of SETUP.STF, by copying SETUP.STF to SETUPSTF.TMP.

3. Load SETUPSTF.TMP from your Server installation of Word into Microsoft

   Excel (or any other application you want to edit the file in).

4. Cursor down to the ======BILLBOARDS====== section.

5. On the Group line, which is two lines under the BILLBOARDS line, delete

   all numbers to the right of the first number, leaving all leading and

   trailing tabs and spaces.

6. Save SETUPSTF.TMP.

7. To ensure that only the correct lines have been edited, exit to an

   MS-DOS prompt and change directories to where your SETUP.STF and

   SETUPSTF.TMP files are located. Then type the following command:

      fc.exe /t setupstf.tmp setupstf.bak

8. If the comparison is successful, the result should be six lines

   displayed, which corresponds to the line changed and the lines before

   and after the change.

9. If the above comparison is successful, rename SETUPSTF.TMP to SETUP.STF,

   overwriting the previous version. If the comparison fails, make another

   working copy of SETUP.STF and repeat the above steps, using a different

   editor.

When the next Setup is run from this installation, the first billboard will

appear and remain until the conclusion of the installation.

Cannot Use In-Place Editing with Field Codes On

Article ID: Q112163

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If field codes are displayed, in-place editing of embedded objects is

disabled in Word for Windows. (To toggle between viewing field codes and

viewing field results, choose Options from the Tools menu, select the View

tab, select or clear the Field Codes check box under Show, and choose OK.)

CAUSE

=====

By design, Word edits object linking and embedding (OLE) 2.0 objects in

place only when Show Field Codes is turned off. If you double-click an OLE

2.0 object when field codes are displayed, Word opens the object in a

separate application window.

Compare Versions Incorrectly Marks Unedited Text as Moved

Article ID: Q112165

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use the Compare Versions command on the Tools menu to compare two

versions of a Word for Windows document, Word may mark text for deletion in

one location and insert it again in the same location, even when you have

not edited that text.

CAUSE

=====

If you move a sentence to a different line in your document, the Compare

Versions command flags the last word (and the paragraph mark, if one

exists) of the preceding sentence for deletion and re-inserts it in the

same location. In other words, this unedited word appears twice in the

document--once as deleted text and once as inserted text. When you accept

revisions, this text is unchanged, so no unintended modifications occur in

your document.

This happens when a sentence that is followed by punctuation and one or two

spaces precedes the text you move. Word incorrectly marks the last word in

the preceding sentence, even when you do not edit or move it.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Printing to File Results in a 0 (zero) Byte Print File

Article ID: Q112166

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print to a file, Word for Windows may truncate the filename of the

file you create and place it in the wrong location. When Word does this, it

also places a second file in the correct location, with the correct

filename, but the size of this file is 0 (zero) bytes. This happens whether

you print to a file by selecting the Print To File option in the File Print

dialog box or by selecting FILE: as the output port under Printers in

Windows Control Panel.

For example, if you print to the following file

   C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\EQUATION\LONGNAME\OUTPUT1.PRN

Word creates a file named OUTP in the EQUATION subdirectory, and Word

creates a file named OUTPUT1.PRN in the LONGNAME subdirectory (the correct

location), but OUTPUT1.PRN has a file size of 0 bytes.

CAUSE

=====

Word truncates the name of your print file and places it in the wrong

directory if either of the following conditions exist:

1. The path contains more than one directory and one subdirectory (two

   levels) AND the entire path (excluding the filename) contains more than

   11 characters. For example:

      C:\DIRECTRY\SUBDIR1\SUBDIR2\OUTPUT1.PRN

   By contrast, Word does NOT truncate the filename of the following print

   file, even though the file is located more than two levels deep in the

   directory structure, because the entire path consists of only 11

   characters:

      C:\USER\ME\94\JAN\OUTPUT1.PRN

2. Any directory name contains more than eight characters, even if the path

   contains only one directory and one subdirectory. For example:

      C:\DIRECTRY.NAM\SUBDIR\OUTPUT1.PRN

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Place the print file no deeper than two levels deep in the

          directory structure. Make sure neither the directory nor the

          subdirectory name has more than 8 characters.

Method 2: Place the file deeper than the second directory level if the

          entire path consists of 11 or fewer characters.

Error Starting Word: "Invalid DC Index: 17"

Article ID: Q112168

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, versions 3.1, 3.11

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you start Word for Windows, your computer may hang (stop responding)

or the following error message may occur:

   Invalid DC Index: 17

CAUSE

=====

These symptoms may occur if either of the following Windows 3.0 printer

drivers is installed and set as the default Windows printer:

 - Star Micronix XB-2410, LC-2420 (STARM24.DRV)

 - Brother M1824L (BROTH24.DRV version 1.00, dated 9/20/90)

 - Canon bj102 (CANON10E.DRV, dated 9/20/90)

When the "Invalid DC Index: 17" error message occurs, you can choose OK and

continue working in Word.

In addition, Word may hang when you start the program if you have not

installed a default Windows printer driver.

WORKAROUND

==========

Microsoft does not recommend using Windows 3.0 printer drivers under

Windows 3.1. You should remove such drivers under the Printers icon in

Windows Control Panel.

There is no Windows 3.1 printer driver available for the Brother M1824L

printer (this printer emulates the IBM Proprinter XL). A Windows 3.1

printer driver for the Star Micronix XB-2410 printer is available on the

Windows Driver Library (WDL), which you can download from the Microsoft

Download Service (MSDL). For more information about obtaining the WDL,

Some Applications Missing as Default Picture Editor Choices

Article ID: Q112199

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Some graphics applications may not appear in the Picture Editor list, so

you cannot select them as the default application for editing imported

graphics in Word for Windows. (To display the Picture Editor list, choose

Options from the Tools menu and select the Edit tab.)

CAUSE

=====

Word lists a graphics application in the Picture Editor list if it contains

the following registration information in the Windows REG.DAT file:

   <ProgID>\protocol\StdFileEditing\SetDataFormats=CF_METAFILEPICT

   <ProgID>\protocol\StdFileEditing\RequestDataFormats=CF_METAFILEPICT

If a graphics application does not add both of the above registration

settings to REG.DAT, Word does not include the application in the Picture

Editor list. These settings tell Word that the graphics application can

edit metafiles as OLE objects.

Note: To view REG.DAT settings, switch to Windows Program Manager, choose

Run from the File menu, type the following in the Command Line box, and

then choose OK:

   regedit.exe /v

WORKAROUND

==========

Microsoft does not recommend that you manually edit your REG.DAT file to

add these missing registration settings. (If you add the settings, the

application appears in the Picture Editor list, but you may be unable to

edit the drawing in the graphics application.) The graphics application

must register this information when you install it. If you want to select

an unlisted graphics application as your default picture editor in Word,

contact the manufacturer of the graphics application for instructions.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Page 365 of "Microsoft Word User's Guide" contains instructions for

changing the default editing application, but it does not explain how Word

determines which graphics applications to include in the Picture Editor

list.

Adding and Removing 6.0 Supplemental Conversions Files

Article ID: Q112250

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

A Setup program installs text converters, graphic filters, and Word for

MS-DOS glossary files found on the Microsoft Word 6.0 for Windows

Supplemental File Conversion Disks. The first time you run Setup, an

SC_SETUP.STF file is created in the Word 6.0 for Windows program directory

(for example, C:\WINWORD). If you run the Supplemental Conversion Setup

program again, the SC_SETUP.STF file puts the Setup program into a

maintenance mode that allows you to add or remove supplemental conversion

files.

If the supplemental conversion files aren't being installed properly

after following the usual setup procedures, delete the SC_SETUP.STF

file in the Word 6.0 for Windows program directory. Also, delete old

or damaged text converters, graphic filters, and/or Word for MS-DOS

glossary files, then run the Supplemental File Conversion Disk Setup

program again.

MORE INFORMATION:

=================

Supplemental text converters are stored in the C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\TEXTCONV

directory (where C:\WINDOWS is the location of your Windows program

directory) and the Word 6.0 program directory (for example, C:\WINWORD).

Supplemental graphic filters are stored in the C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\GRPHFLT

directory (where C:\WINDOWS is the location of your Windows program

directory).

Supplemental Word for MS-DOS glossary files are stored in the TEMPLATE

subdirectory of the Word 6.0 program directory (for example, the

C:\WINWORD\TEMPLATE directory).

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

------------------

To set up the Word 6.0 for Windows Supplemental File Converters:

1. Start Microsoft Windows.

2. Insert the Setup Disk in drive A (or the appropriate floppy disk drive).

3. From Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu.

4. Type "a:\setup" (without the quotation marks) and choose OK.

Drawing Objects Not Duplexing on LJIID or LJIIISi

Article ID: Q112251

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 for Windows if you print a document containing a drawing object

in duplex mode to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet IID, IIID or IIISi, the

page with the drawing object will not print duplexed (that is, the page

prints only on one side).

CAUSE

=====

When you print a drawing object, Word sends a form feed command to the

printer, not allowing the printer to print on the back of the page

containing the drawing object.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information

here as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you select the drawing object and from the Insert menu and choose Frame,

the drawing will be converted to a framed object in the text layer. A

framed object will print duplex correctly. You will lose some of the

advantages of a drawing layer object such as, superimposing an object over

text.

This problem occurs only when you use the IID, IIID and IIISi drivers.

This problem does not occur if you use the Postscript driver. If the IIISi

has the postscript option installed, you may change the printer driver to

IIISi Postscript when printing the document.

Word Assigns a Delivery Point Bar Code (DPBC) of 99

Article ID: Q112252

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When using the address bar coding feature of Word 6.0, you receive a

POSTNET delivery point bar code (DPBC) of 99.

CAUSE

=====

Either Word cannot parse the delivery address for the correct information,

or the delivery address does not contain information that can generate a

valid DPBC (according to the post office's DPBC rules).

Word determines the DPBC by reading the address line preceding the address

line containing the City, State ZIP+4. This is important to note because

the address may contain many lines.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following are address examples that should generate a DPBC of 99,

according to the post office's DPBC rules.

Rule 1  The address line does not contain a number.

------

        John Smith

        Main St.

        Anytown, WA 12345-6789

Rule 2  The address line contains only alpha characters.

------

        John Smith

        AA Main St.

        Anytown, WA 12345-6789

Rule 3  The address line contains a slash (/).

------

        John Smith

        123/4 Main St. -or- 1/4 Main St. -or- 12/3/4 Main St.

        Anytown, WA 12345-6789

Rule 4  The address line contains an APO or FPO.

------

Rule 5  Anything else that does not conform to the post office's DPBC

------  rules.

Common Addresses That May Generate a DPBC of 99

===============================================

Example 1

---------

   John Doe

   Big Time Company

   123 Main St.

   Suite 456

   Anytown, WA 98007-5555

Word tries to generate a DPBC from the next-to-last address line--in this

case, "Suite 456," which is not a valid street address. To correct this,

move "Suite 456" to the same line as the street address:

   John Doe

   Big Time Company

   123 Main St. Suite 456

   Anytown, WA 98007-5555

Example 2

---------

   Pinecliffe International

   Post Office Drawer 3737

   Coal Creek Canyon

   Golden, CO 80401-0100

Word tries to generate a DPBC from the "Coal Creek Canyon" line of the

address. Because there is no number on this line, Word returns a 99 DPBC.

Moving "Coal Creek Canyon" to the previous line will not work because "Post

Office Drawer" is not a recognized address term. Changing the address to

this format will work:

   Pinecliffe International

   Coal Creek Canyon

   PO Box 3737

   Golden, CO 80401-0100

Because Word checks only the next-to-last address line, Word ignores the

"Coal Creek Canyon" line and tries to generate a DPBC from the line that

reads "PO Box 3737." Since this is a valid address term, it generates the

correct DPBC.

Example 3 -- A Military Address

-------------------------------

   John Doe

   Company A, 122 Sig BN

   Unit 20511 Box 4290

   APO AA 34049-1234

Because this is an APO address, Word will return a DPBC of 99. (See Rule 4

above.)

Example 4

---------

   John Doe

   100 Main St.

   Apt 204

   Anytown, WA 12345-5678

Word will try to generate a DPBC using the next-to-last line, "Apt 204."

Because this is not a valid street address, Word will return a DPBC of 99.

To generate the correct DPBC, move the apartment number to the previous

line:

   John Doe

   100 Main St. Apt 204

   Anytown, WA 12345-5678

For information about reading bar codes, obtain the "Designing Mail"

packet from the U.S. Postal Service.

Bar codes will not be created if the postal code is a Canadian postal code.

This is by design. Under the Canadian postal system the post office applies

bar coding to mail.

INCLUDEPICTURE and IMPORT Fields Do Not Merge Correctly

Article ID: Q112324

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, when you perform a mail merge, the result of an

INCLUDEPICTURE, INCLUDETEXT, or IMPORT field is a box with an X inside it

instead of the graphic image. If you turn on field codes view in the form

letter document, notice that Word has replaced the double backslashes with

single backslash characters in the INCLUDEPICTURE, INCLUDETEXT, or IMPORT

fields.

For example, the following fields in the main document display as a large

box with an X inside it:

   {INCLUDEPICTURE {IF {MERGEFIELD <FIELDNAME>} <> ""

   "C:\\WINWORD\\CLIPART\\APPLE.WMF" "C:\\WINWORD\\CLIPART\\BIRD.WMF"}}

   {IMPORT {IF {MERGEFIELD <FIELDNAME>} <> ""

   "C:\\WINWORD\\CLIPART\\APPLE.WMF" "C:\\WINWORD\\CLIPART\\BIRD.WMF"}}

After you perform the mail merge operation, if you display field codes in

the form letter document, the INCLUDEPICTURE, INCLUDETEXT, and IMPORT

fields display as shown in the following examples:

   {INCLUDEPICTURE C:\WINWORD6\CLIPART\APPLE.WMF}

   {IMPORT C:\WINWORD6\CLIPART\APPLE.WMF}

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Throughout the INCLUDEPICTURE, INCLUDETEXT, or IMPORT fields in

          your mail merge main document, type four backslashes instead of

          two, as shown in the following example:

             {INCLUDEPICTURE {IF {MERGEFIELD <FIELDNAME>} <> ""

             "C:\\\\WINWORD\\\\CLIPART\\\\APPLE.WMF"

             "C:\\\\WINWORD\\\\CLIPART\\\\BIRD.WMF"}}

          When you merge the data into a new document, you must update the

          INCLUDEPICTURE, INCLUDETEXT, and IMPORT fields in your document

          before you print, even if you select the Update Fields printing

          option. If you do not manually update these fields, they print as

          a box with an X in it.

          This workaround does not work when you merge the data to the

          printer, even with the Update Fields printing option selected. If

          you want to merge your data directly to the printer, use Method 2

          below instead.

Method 2: Do not use the INCLUDEPICTURE, INCLUDETEXT, or IMPORT fields;

          instead, insert the graphic image directly in the main document.

          If the graphic is one of the possible results of a conditional

          statement, insert the graphic between quotation marks in the IF

          field. When you use this method, you can merge your data to the

          printer. Another advantage to this method is that you do not have

          to update the fields in the document before you print. The

          following example illustrates this method:

          {IF {MERGEFIELD FIRSTNAME} = "NANCY" "<GRAPHIC1>" "<GRAPHIC2>"}

"System Error" Running Word Help on DEC Pathworks Network

Article ID: Q112380

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you select a Word for Windows Help topic, the following network error

message may occur:

   System error. Network error on drive ?

After this error occurs, your computer may hang (stop responding), and you

may need to restart (reboot) it.

CAUSE

=====

This error occurs when you are running Word at a DEC Pathworks network

workstation from a VAX/VMS server if Word searches for SHARERES.DLL on a

logical network drive. When you start Word Help, Word looks for the

SHARERES.DLL file: first in the root directory of the server, then in the

MSOFFICE directory, then in the directories in your MS-DOS PATH statement.

If your PATH statement contains a logical network drive, Word searches it

and the above error occurs.

This problem does not occur when you run Word over other networks.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

POSSIBLE WORKAROUND

===================

Method 1: Multiple attemps to Cancel (rather than Retry) may allow you to

          continue and Help to resume.

Method 2: Verify that path in the [MS Shareres] section of the the WIN.INI

          reads as follows:

             [MS Shareres]

             path = x:\

           where x is the net drive letter.

Method 3: Copy the SHARERES.DLL file from the MSOFFICE\SYSTEM subdirectory

          to the root directory of the server so Word can find the file

          without searching your path.

First Cell Deleted Dragging Word Table and Dropping in Excel

Article ID: Q112381

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you drag a Word for Windows table and drop it in Microsoft Excel

version 5.0 for Windows, the first cell in the Word table is deleted in

Word. In other words, the first cell in the table is moved to Excel, while

the remaining table cells are copied.

Note: If you select less than an entire row in the Word table and drag it

into Excel, the entire row is copied. The smallest table unit you can move

using drag-and-drop is a row. If you select a single column in a multi-

column table, the entire table is copied.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

CorelDraw! 3.0 Graphics Cropped When Pasted from Clipboard

Article ID: Q112414

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you copy a CorelDraw! 3.0 graphic to the Windows Clipboard and then

paste it in another application such as Word for Windows, the graphic may

display with the edges cropped. The graphic prints correctly.

The graphic also appears cropped if you view it using the Windows Clipboard

Viewer.

STATUS

======

Microsoft could not reproduce this problem using CorelDraw! version 4.0.

WORKAROUND

==========

In CorelDraw! 3.0, in the same location as the graphic, create a rectangle

object that is slightly larger than the graphic. Send the rectangle object

to the back of all other CorelDraw! objects. Select this object when you

want to copy the graphic to the Windows Clipboard. This method crops the

rectangle object instead of the graphic, so the entire graphic displays in

your Word document.

How to Add a Language to the List of Available Languages

Article ID: Q112434

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c,

   6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article contains the instructions for adding a language to your

available list of languages for proofing tools. The article also contains

the current list of available language codes.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADDING A LANGUAGE

==================================

To add a language to the Mark Selected Text As list of languages in the

Tools Language dialog box (Format Language dialog box in Word 2.x), do the

following:

1. Start a text editor such as Windows Notepad. Open your WIN.INI file,

   which is located in the Windows directory (usually, C:\WINDOWS).

2. Locate the [MS Proofing Tools] section and place the following line in

   this section:

      Language <language ID>=<language name>, <three-letter abbreviation>

   For example:

      Language 0415=Polish, POL

3. Add a speller path line

      Spelling 0415,0=[path to DLL],[path to LEX file]

   in the [MS Proofing Tools] section of the WIN.INI file, or in the

   [Microsoft Word] section of the WINWORD6.INI file, which is located in

   the Windows directory.

   For example:

      WIN.INI

      -------

      Spelling 0415,0=c:\windows\msapps\proof\PLSPELL.DLL,c:\windows

      \msapps\proof\SP_PL.LEX

      WINWORD6.INI

      ------------

      [Microsoft Word]

      Spelling 0415,0=c:\windows\msapps\proof\PLSPELL.DLL,c:\windows

      \msapps\proof\SP_PL.LEX

Note: Some foreign language proofing tools have their own spelling .DLL as

shown in the Polish example above. Most of the foreign langugauge proofing

tools use the MSSPEL2.DLL file which is used with English and UK Word for

Windows. If you are using a spelling package from Alki, be sure to check

the spelling reference in the WINWORD6.INI file to see that it is pointing

to the correct .DLL.

LANGUAGE CODES

==============

The following is the current list of languages and their language codes for

Word for Windows. The language codes are used in the spelling path

statements for the Proofing Tools and are placed in either the WINWORD6.INI

file in the [Microsoft Word] section, or in the WIN.INI file in the [MS

Proofing Tools] section:

Gray Drawing Layer Lines Print as Black on HP LaserJets

Article ID: Q112451

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you create gray-colored drawing objects lines using the tools on the

Drawing toolbar in Word for Windows, these lines may print in black on

Hewlett- Packard (HP) LaserJet Series printers. This happens with circles,

squares, arcs, and freeform shapes; however, it does not happen with

ellipses.

CAUSE

=====

Word sends correct gray color instructions to the printer driver, which

means Word is not responsible for this behavior. Some versions of the HP

LaserJet Series printer drivers translate gray color formatting to black

printer instructions for all shapes except the ellipse.

Specifically, when a non-ellipse is formatted as gray, the printer driver

sends a NULL brush and solid pen (pen width = 0) instruction, which tells

the printer to print in black instead of gray. By contrast, for a gray-

colored ellipse, the printer driver sends a brush instruction that

corresponds to the Windows Universal Printer Driver (UNIDRV.DLL)

instruction for dithered solid red color, which the HP LaserJet printer

prints as gray.

This problem affects the following printers:

   HP LaserJet

   HP LaserJet II

   HP LaserJet IIp+

   HP LaserJet III

   HP LaserJet IIIp

   HP LaserJet IIIsi

   HP LaserJet 4M/4P (HPPCL5E.DRV version 1.27)

   HP LaserJet 4si (HPPCL5E.DRV version 1.27)

WORKAROUND

==========

Depending on the type of drawing object needed, it may be possible to

create the object creating an object with no lines that uses a gray Fill.

Gray-colored object Fill's print correctly. For example if you wish to

create a gray-colored line, create instead a narrow rectangle that has no

lines and uses a gray Fill.

Screen Garbage Using HP Intellifonts

Article ID: Q112453

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you open several documents in Word for Windows that are formatted using

Hewlett-Packard (HP) Intellifonts version 2.0, you must change the zoom

percentage, or the view may cause characters in the document to display as

"garbage" on the screen.

STATUS

======

HP is aware of the problem but is not planning to release an update to the

Intellifonts. They recommend updating to TrueType fonts.

WORKAROUND

==========

1. Double-click the Intellifonts icon in the Program Manager.

2. Clear the Enable Intellifonts check box.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Changing the video driver to VGA will not correct the problem.

The number of open documents necessary to reproduce the problem varies

depending on the video driver in use.

The Intellifonts products included here are manufactured by vendors

independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,

regarding these products' performance or reliability.

Framed Objects Deleted After Rejecting Revisions

Article ID: Q112454

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you reject the revisions in a document that contains a framed object,

Word for Windows may delete the framed object instead of restoring it to

the original state.

This happens regardless of whether the framed object is an OLE object or

not.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and

6.0a for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes

available.

WORKAROUND

==========

There is no workaround, so you must not use the Reject All button in the

Tools Revisions dialog box or the Reject button in the Review Revisions

dialog box when your document contains a framed object. If you accidentally

use these features, immediately choose the Undo button on the Standard

toolbar to reverse the action.

INTRODUCTION

============

The macros in the Microsoft Word version 2.x for Windows templates may

not run without error in Word 6.0 for Windows. The WD0264 disk

included with this Application Note contains updated macros that

correct this problem. If you encounter a WordBasic error when using

the Word 2.x templates in Word 6.0, copy the updated macros from the

enclosed WD0264 disk to your current template file using the

Installation instructions below.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT

YOUR OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without

warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not

limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness

for a particular purpose.

INSTALLATION

============

IMPORTANT: Before you copy the template files or install the letter

template macros from the enclosed WD0264 disk, make backup copies of

your existing templates.

1. Make backup copies of all your template files (that is, .DOT

   files). For example, from the MS-DOS command prompt, type the

   following and press ENTER

      copy <source>\*.dot <destination>

   where <source> is the location of your template files and

   <destination> is the location of your backup files. For example:

      copy c:\winword\template\*.dot c:\backup

2. Insert the enclosed WD0264 disk in the appropriate disk drive and

   copy the following templates from the WD0264 disk to your current

   template directory.

   NOTE: DO NOT copy the letter templates. See the "Letter Templates"

   section.

      ARTICLE2.DOT

      DISSERT2.DOT

      FAX.DOT

      MEMO2.DOT

      PRESS.DOT

      PROPOSAL.DOT

      REPLAND.DOT

      REPSIDE.DOT

      REPSTAND.DOT

      TERM2.DOT

   For example, from the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and

   press ENTER

      copy <drive>:\<template> <destination>

   where <drive> is the floppy disk drive that contains the WD0264

   disk, <template> is the filename of the template you want to copy,

   and <destination> is the location of your template directory. For

   example:

      copy a:\article2.dot c:\winword\template

Letter Templates

----------------

IMPORTANT: Before you begin this procedure, make backup copies of your

existing Letter templates. See step 1 of the "Installation" section.

If you have stored names and addresses (glossary entries) in your

Letter templates (LETBLOCK.DOT, LETPERSN.DOT, LETMDSEM.DOT, or

LETMODBK.DOT), you must merge the new macros into your old

templates in order to retain these glossary entries. If you simply

copy the Letter templates from the WD0264 disk, your names and

addresses will be lost.

NOTE: If you have NOT stored names and addresses in your Letter

templates, you can simply copy the templates from the WD0264 disk to

your existing template directory using the procedure in the

"Installation" section above.

To merge the new macros, use the Organizer in Word 6.0 to copy the

macros from the .DOT files included on the enclosed WD0264 disk to

your existing Letter templates as described in the procedure below.

For more information about the Organizer dialog box, see pages 218-219

and 752-753 in the "Microsoft Word User's Guide."

 1. From the File menu, choose Templates.

 2. Choose the Organizer button, and then select the Macros tab.

 3. Choose the left Close File button and then choose the left Open

    File button.

    NOTE: When you choose the Close File button, it changes to the

    Open File button.

 4. From the List Files Of Type box, select Document Templates

    (*.dot).

 5. Insert the enclosed WD0264 disk in the appropriate floppy disk

    drive.

 6. In the Drives list, select the disk drive where you inserted the

    WD0264 disk. In the File Name box, select the template file you

    want to update (for example, LETBLOCK.DOT) and choose OK. The

    updated macros display in the left list box in the Organizer

    dialog box.

 7. Choose the right Close File button (if it is available) and then

    choose the right Open File button.

    NOTE: The right Close File button changes to the right Open File

    button if you have no documents open in Word or if you previously

    chose the right Close File button.

 8. In the List Files Of Type box, select Document Templates (*.dot).

 9. Select your current (Word 2.x) template file that contains the

    WordBasic macros you want to replace with the updated version on

    the WD0264 disk (for example, LETBLOCK.DOT in the

    WINWORD\TEMPLATES subdirectory on drive C) and choose OK.

10. Select all the macros in the list on the left side of the

    Organizer dialog box. To do this, select the first macro in the

    list, press and hold down the SHIFT key, then select the last

    macro in the list so the entire list is selected.

11. Choose the Copy button. When Word displays the "Do you wish to

    overwrite the existing macro <MacroName>?" prompt, choose the Yes

    or Yes To All button. This replaces the old macros (the ones that

    were producing WordBasic errors) in your existing template with

    new macros from the updated .DOT file on the WD0264 disk.

12. Choose the Close button. When Word prompts you to save changes to

    your template, choose Yes. When Word displays the following

    message, choose Yes.

    The file FILENAME.DOT is a Word version 2.0 for Windows document.

    Do you want to overwrite it with Word version 6.0 for Windows

    format?

"The Global Template Is Already Open..." Error Starting Word

Article ID: Q112496

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following series of error messages may occur when you start Word for

Windows:

   The global template, NORMAL.DOT, is already open as an add-in program.

   Too many Word documents are open. Please close a window.

   Word cannot open this document template.

You may have to choose OK several times to close the last error message

dialog box.

CAUSE

=====

Case 1: These errors occur if the File Locations "Startup" setting points

        to the same location as the "User Templates" setting, which is the

        TEMPLATES subdirectory. (To view the Startup setting, choose

        Options from the Tools menu and select the File Locations tab.)

        For example, these errors occur if both your User Template and

        startup settings point to C:\WINWORD\TEMPLATE.

Case 2: This error has can also be caused by the absence of a BUFFERS line

        in the CONFIG.SYS.

RESOLUTION

==========

Case 1: Use the following instructions to change the Startup setting

        location to the <WINWORD>\STARTUP subdirectory (where <WINWORD> is

        the Word program directory):

        1. From the Tools menu, choose Options, and then select the File

           Locations Tab.

        2. In the File Types list, select Startup and then choose the

           Modify button.

        3. In the Modify Locations dialog box, select the <WINWORD>\STARTUP

           directory and then choose OK.

Case 2: To correct the second cause of this problem use a text editor to

        add the following line the contents of the CONFIG.SYS file:

           BUFFERS=30

How to Use Heading Numbering with Chapters and Appendixes

Article ID: Q112497

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 for Windows does not support multiple heading numbering schemes in

a single document or master document. When working with documents that

contain both chapter headings and appendix headings, the headings must not

use the same heading style level.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To Automatically Number Chapters and Indexes Using Heading Styles

-----------------------------------------------------------------

When designing a document that contains both chapter headings and appendix

headings, you can use different heading style levels to apply the different

number formatting to each section.

For instance, use Heading 1 for all chapter titles and use Heading 7 for

all appendix titles. The following steps will define a chapter and appendix

heading numbering scheme that looks like this:

   Chapter One: This is the title to the first chapter

   Chapter Two: This is the title to the second chapter

   Appendix A: This is the title to the first appendix

   Appendix B: This is the title to the second appendix

1. From the Format menu, choose Heading Numbering.

2. Select the Chapter One option.

3. Choose the Modify button.

4. In the Level <n> option box under the help button, select Level 7.

5. In the Text Before box, type "Appendix " (without the quotation marks).

6. From the Bullet Or Number list, choose "A, B, C, ...".

7. Set Include from Previous Level to Nothing.

8. Choose the OK button.

You can now apply Heading 1 to all paragraphs that are chapter styles and

Heading 7 to all paragraphs that are appendix titles.

Note: Heading styles are predefined with certain paragraph and character

formatting attributes. You may need to modify these styles using the Style

command on the Format menu to obtain the desired appearance.

To Insert Page Numbers That Correspond to Chapter and Appendix Headings

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

To insert page numbers of the style "1-1", "A-1" that work with these

heading styles, perform the following steps:

 1. Make sure that the document contains a section break of some type

    (usually Next Page) separating the main document area from the appendix

    area.

 2. Move the insertion point to the page containing the first chapter

    title.

 3. From the Insert menu, choose Page Numbers.

 4. Choose the desired location for the page number using the options

    provided in the Page Numbers window.

 5. Choose the Format button.

 6. Select the Include Chapter Numbers check box.

 7. In the Chapter Start With Style box, select Heading 1.

 8. Choose OK.

 9. Choose OK in the Page Numbers dialog box.

10. Move the insertion point to the page that contains the first appendix

    title.

11. Repeat steps 3 through 6.

12. In the Chapter Starts With Style box, select Heading 7.

13. In the Page Numbering box, select Start At and choose 1 so that each

    chapter or section begin renumbering.

14. Choose OK.

15. Choose OK in the Page Numbers dialog box.

To Build a Customized Table of Contents

---------------------------------------

To build a table of contents that includes both the chapters and the

appendixes and also uses the defined page numbering style:

1. Place the insertion point in the desired location for the table of

   contents.

2. From the Insert menu, choose Index And Tables.

3. Select the Table Of Contents tab.

4. Choose the Options button.

5. In the TOC Level boxes, in the text box to the right of Heading 7, type

   "1" (without the quotation marks). This will configure Word to consider

   Heading 7 to be a level 1 entry in the table of contents.

6. Choose OK.

7. Choose OK in the Index And Tables dialog box.

"Must Load SHARE.EXE" Starting Word 6.0 Under Windows NT

Article ID: Q112498

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following error may occur when Word 6.0 for Windows is started under

Windows NT:

   You must exit Windows and load SHARE.EXE in order to run Word.

CAUSE

=====

There are two possibilities for this error occurring:

 - The first hard drive on the Windows NT system is not available (that is,

   not enabled or not formatted).

   -or-

 - The security applied to the first hard drive prohibits Word from

   performing its file-locking test.

   When Word starts, it performs a test to check for the availability of

   file-locking functionality (typically provided by SHARE.EXE or

   VSHARE.386 under standard Windows or Windows for Workgroups, but built

   in to Windows NT). During this test, Word creates a small temporary file

   in the current directory of the first hard drive (typically drive C). If

   Word cannot create a temporary file in this directory, the test will

   fail and Word will assume that file-locking functionality is not

   available.

   NOTE: Because FAT- and HPFS-formatted partitions do not allow directory

   or file-level security to be defined, this problem can occur only when

   using a system where the first hard drive, if available, is formatted as

   NTFS. (FAT = File Allocation Table, HPFS = High Performance File System,

   NTFS = NT File System.)

Determining the Current Directory on Drive C

--------------------------------------------

To determine the working directory setting, examine the properties of the

Word 6.0 for Windows program icon in Program Manager. If this setting

defines a directory on drive C, then this is the same directory that Word

will perform the locking test in.

If the working directory option indicates a directory on a drive other than

drive C and Windows NT is installed on drive C, then the current directory

for drive C will be the Windows NT directory (typically C:\WINNT).

If the working directory option indicates a directory on a drive other than

drive C and Windows NT is installed on a drive other than drive C, then the

current directory for drive C will be the root directory (C:\).

RESOLUTION

==========

To avoid getting the error message indicating that SHARE.EXE must be

loaded, one of two solutions are available.

Method 1: Change the current directory of drive C.

          ----------------------------------------

          Under a normal installation of Word 6.0 for Windows, the DOC-

          PATH setting in the WINWORD6.INI file determines what the

          current (working) directory for Word will be. But because Word

          does not switch to this directory until after the locking test

          is performed, it is safe to specify any directory as the working

          directory in the Word icon properties window in Program Manager.

          As long as DOC-PATH is specified in the WINWORD6.INI file, the

          working directory option will be ignored once Word is fully

          started.

Method 2: Change the rights of the current directory on drive C so that

          users have write access.

          Once the current directory on drive C has been determined, use

          Windows NT File Manager's Security option to grant read and

          write access to that particular directory.

Article ID: Q112499

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you create a table that has one or more header rows and also at least

Toolbar Buttons Appear Flat on Hercules Monochrome Display

Article ID: Q112500

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOM

=======

Toolbar buttons in Word 6.0 for Windows may appear flat on Hercules

monochrome displays. This makes is difficult to determine whether toolbar

buttons, such as the Bold button on the Formatting toolbar, are in the up

or down position.

CAUSE

=====

The Button Shadow color is set to the same color as the Button Face,

typically white. (To locate the Button Shadow color setting, open Windows

Control Panel, choose Color, choose the Color Palette button, and select

the Button Shadow from the Screen Element list.)

RESOLUTION

==========

The Button Shadow color option must be set to a color different from the

Button Face color. Since the Button Face defaults to white, the Button

Shadow color should be set to black.

To Change the Button Shadow Color

---------------------------------

1. Open Windows Control Panel.

2. Choose the Color icon.

3. Choose the Color Palette button.

4. From the Screen Element list, select Button Shadow.

5. From the Basic Colors grid, select black.

6. Choose OK.

7. Exit the Control Panel.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Hercules Monochrome display adapter provides only two colors for the

display: black and white. By default, the Windows driver for this adapter

card uses white for both the button face and the button shadow colors.

Although using white for both of these screen elements works well for

conventional command buttons, it does not work well for buttons that

indicate an up or down position.

Headers and Footers Not Visible with Hercules Monochrome

Article ID: Q112501

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run Word 6.0 for Windows in page layout view using a system with a

Hercules Monochrome display adapter:

 - The header and footer text is not visible when you work in the body

   text. (The body text is visible.)

 - The body text is not visible when you work in the header or footer area.

   (The header and footer text is visible.)

CAUSE

=====

In page layout view, Word renders header and footer text in light gray when

you work in the body text. However, Hercules Monochrome monitors support

only two colors: black and white. On these screens, light gray is mapped to

white. Because the background of the page is also white, the header and

footer text becomes invisible.

WORKAROUND

==========

You cannot reconfigured Word to use a color other than gray to represent

header and footer text. However, there are two ways to use Word to avoid

this problem.

Method 1: Use normal view. Normal view does not use WYSIWYG page layout

          view and thus, does not display the headers and footers. When

          you edit the header or footer, use the Header And Footer command

          on the View menu to automatically switch Word into page layout

          view temporarily while you edit the header or footer.

Method 2: Use print preview. In Word 6.0, print preview mode supports text

          editing. Because it is a preview mode, it also renders header

          and footer text in black.

          To use print preview mode, select the Print Preview command from

          the File menu. Once the preview appears, choose the magnifying

          glass button on the toolbar. Print preview mode will work like

          page layout view, but the headers and footers will appear black.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 and 6.0a for

Windows. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

For those programs that support only single instances, such as Microsoft

Mail and Schedule+, you can change the corresponding macros to use the

WordBasic Shell command to activate the applications.

For instance, create a macro called "Microsoft Mail" that contains the

following macro code:

  Sub Main

    Shell "MSMAIL32"

  End Sub

When you click the Microsoft Mail button on the Microsoft toolbar, the

Shell command will launch Microsoft Mail. However, if Microsoft Mail is

already running, the existing copy will be activated.

Text Added to End of Line Not Included in Cross-Reference

Article ID: Q112542

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you insert a cross-reference to some text and then add some text to the

end of the cross-referenced text, Word for Windows does not include that

text when you update the cross-reference.

This happens when you select Heading, Bookmark, Equation, Figure, or Table

from the Reference Types list in the Insert Cross-Reference dialog box.

This does not happen when you cross-reference endnotes, footnotes, or page

numbers because Word only references the number for these elements.

For example, type the following paragraph and apply the Heading 1 style:

   This is a Heading One Paragraph

Insert a cross-reference to this heading on a separate line in your

document. Then add some text to the end of the Heading 1 paragraph, as

shown below:

   This is a Heading One Paragraph with more text

If you update the cross-reference to this paragraph, Word does not include

" with more text".

By contrast, Word correctly updates the cross-reference with text you add

to the beginning or middle of a cross-referenced paragraph.

CAUSE

=====

When you position the insertion point after the last character of cross-

referenced text, Word places additional text outside the special, hidden

bookmark it uses to mark that cross-referenced text. As a result, Word does

not include the text in the cross-reference.

You can easily view this behavior if you select the Bookmarks option in the

Tools Options dialog box under the View tab. Word places nonprinting square

brackets ([]) around the cross-referenced text to mark the special, hidden

bookmarks it inserts. With the Bookmarks option selected, the two examples

in the previous section display as follows:

   [This is a Heading One Paragraph]

   [This is a Heading One Paragraph] with more text

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To change or add text to the end of a cross-referenced paragraph, make the

changes before the last word and then delete the last word.

Pictures Larger Than 8.5" Get Scaled When Exiting Picture Edit

Article ID: Q112677

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 for Windows, if you create a picture wider then 8.5 inches

(such as a landscape award with the Award Wizard) and then double-click the

picture to load it into the Picture Editor, when you exit the Picture

Editor, the Picture will be scaled to 8.5-inches wide.

CAUSE

=====

Word Picture objects always come up with the default page size, which is

usually 8.5-by-11 inches, regardless of the size settings of the document

the picture is edited in. This means any picture wider than 8.5 inches will

be trimmed or scaled down when edited in Word.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: If you previously had Word 2.0 for Windows installed on your

          system, set Microsoft Draw as the default picture editor BEFORE

          you double- click to edit the picture. Microsoft Draw supports

          22-inch page size and will not distort the picture. (NOTE:

          Microsoft Draw will only be available if you previously had Word

          2.0 for Windows installed.)

          For more information about setting the default editing

          application, see page 365 of the "Microsoft Word User's Guide."

Method 2: Once you exit the Picture Editor, select the picture and resize

          it by choosing Picture from the Format menu.

Method 3: Before you edit the picture, note the original size so you can

          "reset" the size after editing. (To determine the original size,

          choose Picture from the Format menu, and note the Width and

          Height settings under Size.)

Certain Fonts Do Not Print Kerned on HP LaserJet 4 Printers

Article ID: Q112680

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you format certain TrueType fonts with the Kerning For Fonts option

selected, the text does not print or display kerned on a Hewlett-Packard

(HP) LaserJet Series 4/4M printer. (To locate the Kerning For Fonts option,

choose Font from the Format menu and select the Character Spacing tab.)

CAUSE

=====

When you print using the HP LaserJet 4/4M or 4Si/4SiMX printer driver

version 1.20, 1.26, or 1.27 (HPPCL5E.DRV) as the default printer, Word does

not kern any font for which the printer substitutes a built-in version of

the TrueType font. The printer driver does not contain kerning information

for these fonts, so Word cannot print them kerned. For example, when you

format text for the Times New Roman TrueType font, the printer driver

substitutes the built-in version of Times New Roman for which it provides

no kerning information.

For a list of which fonts do and do not print kerned, see the "More

Information" section below in this article.

By contrast, if you switch to the HP LaserJet Series IIIsi printer driver,

which uses the Windows TrueType font instead of a built-in printer font,

the fonts print and display kerned as expected.

STATUS

======

Word is operating correctly, using the font information from the printer

driver. For Word to print the kerned pairs, the HP printer driver must

provide the necessary kerning information. To date, HP has not released an

HP LaserJet Series 4 printer driver that prints kerning pairs correctly.

WORKAROUND

==========

Method 1: If you select the Print TrueType As Graphics option in the

          printer driver Options dialog box, text prints kerned from Word.

          With this option selected, the fonts display kerned only if you

          have the appropriate HP font set installed that can render the

          screen font as a graphic.

Method 2: Switch your default printer to the HP LaserJet Series IIIsi

          printer driver, which uses the Windows TrueType font instead of a

          built-in printer font, so the fonts print and display kerned as

          expected.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The two lists below include the fonts supplied with Word 6.0 as well

as fonts from the Microsoft TrueType Font Pack, Microsoft TrueType

Font Pack 2, and HP Font Pack.

Fonts That DO NOT Print Kerned

------------------------------

The following list contains the fonts that do NOT print kerned on

the HP LaserJet 4/4M using version 1.20 of the printer driver:

Albertus Extra Bold

Word 2.x Document Object Corrupt After Editing in Word 6.0

Article ID: Q112709

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you double-click a Word 2.x for Windows object to edit or open it in

Word 6.0 for Windows, that OLE (object linking and embedding) object may

become irretrievably corrupt. The next time you try to edit the object,

Word 6.0 does not recognize the file format, and the Convert File dialog

box appears.

This happens when the Word 2.x object is embedded in any OLE 2 container

application such as Word 6.0, Microsoft Excel 5.0, or Microsoft PowerPoint

4.0.

CAUSE

=====

The Word 2.x object becomes corrupt if, after you open the object for

editing in Word 6.0, you do not save or update the object before you close

it. If you save or update the object in Word 6.0 before you return to the

container application, the object converts to Word 6.0 format and does not

become corrupt.

Note: This happens both when you edit the object in place (OLE Edit verb)

and when you open the object in a separate Word 6.0 window (OLE Open verb).

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Once you open the Word 2.x document object for editing in Word 6.0, choose

Save or Update from the File menu, even if you do not make any changes.

"Invalid Database" Error Attaching Mail Merge Data Document

Article ID: Q112710

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In a mail merge main document, if you attach a data document that contains

Script, Roman or Modern font formatting, Word for Windows displays the

following error message:

   Word could not open <FILENAME> because it did not

   contain a valid database.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Reformat your data document for a font other than Script, Roman or Modern.

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run a macro you recorded using the Word for Windows macro

recorder, sometimes nothing happens or the following WordBasic error

occurs:

   WordBasic Err=509

   This command is not available.

CAUSE

=====

These symptoms occur when you try to record the commands listed below

because Word cannot record these WordBasic commands:

   FormatAutoFormat

   FileFindFile

   MailMergeHelper

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Record the execution of these commands from the Tools Macro dialog box.

This records the ToolsMacro command with the unrecordable command as the

.Run argument.

For example, to record the AutoFormat command, record the following macro:

   Sub Main

    ToolsMacro .Name="FormatAutoFormat", .Run

   End Sub

Help Displays "This Resource Cannot Be Displayed" Message

Article ID: Q112735

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

- Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In place of certain Help elements, Word or WordBasic Help displays the

message "This resource cannot be displayed" in certain Help windows. (These

are not error messages that appear in normal dialog boxes.)

CAUSE

=====

The Help support files SHARERES.DLL and WORDRES.DLL may be improperly

installed.

 - SHARERES.DLL must be installed in the SYSTEM subdirectory of the Windows

   program directory.

 - WORDRES.DLL must be installed in one of the directories specified in the

   PATH= line of the [MS SHARERES] section of the WIN.INI file.

There should be only one copy of SHARERES.DLL and WORDRES.DLL on your

computer. You should delete outdated versions of these files.

RESOLUTION

==========

Check the [MS SHARERES] section of the WIN.INI file, and be sure a line

points to the location of the SHARERES.DLL and WORDRES.DLL files. For

example:

   [MS SHARERES]

   PATH=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM

Gray or Poor Output Printing Color Text on Noncolor Printer

Article ID: Q112779

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print color text on a noncolor printer, the output may be very

poor quality. This happens with text to which you apply color font

formatting and when you use color text to mark revisions.

CAUSE

=====

This happens on some printers if the "Print colors as black on noncolor

printers" option in the Compatibility Options dialog box is turned off.

When this setting is off, Word prints colors in gray scale on noncolor

printers. On some printers, gray text prints very poorly at certain

resolutions. For example, gray text may print poorly at 300 dpi resolution

and print clearly at 600 dpi resolution. In some cases, one color may print

acceptably while another prints poorly (again, depending on the printer).

RESOLUTION

==========

If you are using a low printer resolution setting, switch to a higher

setting in the Printer Setup dialog box and try printing the document

again. You may also obtain better results if you format the text for a

different color.

If you cannot obtain acceptable gray output, you can turn on the "Print

colors as black on noncolor printers" option using the following

instructions:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2. Select the Compatibility tab.

3. From the Recommended Options For list, select Word for Windows 6.0.

4. Select the "Print colors as black on noncolor printers" option so the

   box contains an X, and then choose OK.

French Word 6.0 Error: "Invalid Filename (ERRFUSION1.DOC)

Article ID: Q112780

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, French International Localized

   versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In the French international, localized version of Word 6.0 for Windows, if

you save a mail merge error report document using the default name

(ERRFUSION1.DOC), the following error message occurs:

   This is not a valid filename. (ERRFUSION1.DOC)

This does not happen in the U.S. version of Word, which assigns the default

filename MERGERR1.DOC for your mail merge error report document.

CAUSE

=====

The filename ERRFUSION1.DOC contains more than eight letters, which means

MS-DOS and Windows cannot use the name.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Do not use the default filename for the mail merge error report. You must

rename the file to save it.

AutoCorrect Does Not Replace Words That Contain an Apostrophe

Article ID: Q112781

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The AutoCorrect command on the Tools menu may fail to find a string that

contains an apostrophe (') or quotation mark (").

CAUSE

=====

If the word in the Replace box in the Tools AutoCorrect dialog box contains

a standard apostrophe or quotation mark and the word in your document

contains a smart quote (typesetters', or "curly," quotation mark or

apostrophe), Word does not consider the two words to be the same.

This usually happens when you have the "Change 'Straight Quotes' To 'Smart

Quotes'" option selected in the Tools AutoCorrect dialog box. When you type

a "straight quote" (standard quotation mark), Word performs the "smart

quote" replacement before it searches the Replace list--which contains only

the word with a standard quotation mark.

Note: By design, when you type a quotation mark or apostrophe in the

Replace and With boxes in the Tools AutoCorrect dialog box, Word inserts

the standard quotation mark, not a smart quote. This is true even if the

"Change 'Straight Quotes' To 'Smart Quotes'" option is turned on.

WORKAROUND

==========

Add an entry to the Replace and With boxes in the Tools AutoCorrect

dialog box that contains a smart quote instead of a standard

quotation mark. The Word AutoCorrect feature will use this entry when

the matching word contains a smart quote. (Note: You may want to

retain both the "standard quotation mark" and "smart quote" versions

of these entries so Word can find the word regardless of the "Change

'Straight Quotes' To 'Smart Quotes'" setting.)

To type a smart quote in place of a standard quotation mark in the Replace

and With boxes, type the ANSI character code for the character instead of

pressing the ' or " key. To insert the ANSI character code, use the key

combination listed in the "ANSI Code" column of the table below.

   Smart Quote Character               ANSI Code

   ---------------------               ---------

   Left Apostrophe                     ALT+0145

   Right Apostrophe                    ALT+0146

   Left Quotation Mark                 ALT+0147

   Right Quotation Mark                ALT+0148

For example, to search for the smart quote version of "Womens'" and replace

it with "Women's", type the following in the Replace and With boxes

   Replace                   With

   -------                   ----

   Womens[ALT+0146]          Women[ALT+0146]s

where [ALT+0146] means to press ALT plus 0146 on the numeric keypad.

VSHARE.386 Not Copied During Full-Disk Word 6.0a Setup

Article ID: Q112869

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0a, U.S. domestic version

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0a, German international

   localized version

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you install Word 6.0a for Windows using the full-disk set (instead of

the Word 6.0a Patch), Setup may fail to copy the VSHARE.386 file to your

<WINDOWS>\SYSTEM subdirectory if all of the following are true:

1. You are running Windows in standard mode (WIN /s).

   -and-

2. You have insufficient hard disk space for the installation option you

   selected, which causes the following error message after you select an

   installation option and choose the Continue button:

      There may not be enough disk space to complete the installation.

   -and-

3. You switch to Windows File Manager or the MS-DOS prompt and free some

   disk space, switch back to Word Setup, and then choose the Change

   Options button.

When this happens in the U.S. version of Word 6.0a, Setup adds the

"device=VSHARE.386" line to the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file.

However, in the German localized version of Word 6.0a, Setup does NOT add

this line to SYSTEM.INI.

On the other hand, if you choose the Ignore button in the error message

dialog box after you free some disk space, Setup correctly copies

VSHARE.386 to your hard disk and adds the "device=VSHARE.386" line to your

SYSTEM.INI file. In other words, this problem only occurs if you choose the

Change Options button in the error message dialog box after you free some

disk space.

CAUSE

=====

Setup fails to copy the VSHARE.386 file only when you are running Windows

3.1 in standard mode (WIN /s). It does not happen if you are running

Windows in 386 enhanced mode.

The missing VSHARE.386 file does not cause problems when you run Windows in

standard mode; however, if you later run Windows in 386 enhanced mode, an

error will occur. Word requires the VSHARE.386 file when you run Windows in

386 enhanced mode.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: If Setup fails to copy VSHARE.386 to your hard disk as described

          above, you can manually decompress the VSHARE.38_ file (located

          on Disk 1), and copy it to the <WINDOWS>\SYSTEM subdirectory. In

          the German localized version of Word 6.0a, you must also add the

          following line to your SYSTEM.INI file:

             [386Enh]

             device=VSHARE.386

Method 2: Rerun the Word 6.0a Setup program. Before you start Setup, make

          sure you have sufficient space on your hard disk.

Method 3: If you are still running the Setup session in which you chose the

          Change Options button after the "not enough disk space" error

          occurred, do the following:

          a. Switch to Windows File Manager or the MS-DOS prompt and free

             some disk space by deleting unwanted files.

          b. Switch back to Word Setup and choose the Change Options

             button again.

          c. Select an installation option and then choose the Continue

             button.

          d. Follow the instructions on your screen to complete Setup.

             Word correctly installs VSHARE.386.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the U.S. domestic and

German international localized versions of Word for Windows version

6.0a. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

A different error message may occur at the same point in Setup if there are

no blank lines between sections in the SYSTEM.INI file. Setup searches for

a blank line where it can write the "device=vshare.386" line; if it finds

none, and error occurs.

Multiple-Page Table Rows Displayed or Printed Incorrectly

Article ID: Q112870

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, a table row that spans multiple pages may be displayed

incorrectly in page layout view, and it may also print incorrectly. This

usually happens when a row reaches three or four pages in length.

The following examples illustrate this behavior:

Example 1: In page layout view and print preview, Word may not display the

            text in column 2 on page 4 of a multiple-page row. If you

            switch to normal view, the table displays correctly. In this

            case, regardless of the view, the table prints correctly.

Example 2: A multiple-page table row may display correctly, but Word prints

            text from the top of one column in the bottom margin of the

            previous page; or Word prints text from one column again in the

            next column.

Example 3: Text near the bottom of a page prints again in the bottom margin

            of that page.

Example 4: The total number of pages displayed on the status bar may be

           greater than what actually exists in the document. In addition,

           page breaks may not be displayed in the right-most columns of

           the table.

-or-

The vertical scroll bar does not function. Dragging or clicking the arrows

does not produce any results.

CAUSE

=====

The display problems described in Example 1 above happen only in page

layout view.

The printing problems described in Examples 2 and 3 above happen when the

Background Printing option is selected. (To locate this option, choose

Options from the Tools men, and select the Print tab.)

Some of the printing problems described in Examples 2 and 3 above happen if

the table contains a blank column.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. This problem was corrected in Word version 6.0c for Windows.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use any or all of the following methods to avoid this problem in your Word

document:

Method 1: For the display problem (Example 1 in the "Symptoms" section

          above), switch to normal view.

Method 2: Do the following to turn off the Background Printing option:

          1. From the Tool menu, choose Options.

          2. Select the Print tab.

          3. Clear the Background Printing check box and then choose OK.

Method 3: If your table contains any blank columns, fill each of them with

          paragraph marks or some other nonprinting characters. This

          prevents Word from printing text from another column in that

          column. When you use this method, you should also use the

          instructions in Method 2 above to turn off Background Printing.

Method 4: For Example 4 in the Symptoms section above, from the file menu,

          choose Print Preview. This will update the status bar but may not

          correct the way the Table is displayed.

Pasting Excel Outline Pastes Entire Spreadsheet in Word

Article ID: Q113051

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a,

   2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Excel for Windows, versions 3.0, 4.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you copy the outline portion of a Microsoft Excel 3.0 or 4.0 spreadsheet

(formatted using the Select Special command on the Formula menu) and paste

it in a Word for Windows document, the entire Microsoft Excel spreadsheet

appears in Word.

This does not happen if you paste the outline portion of a Microsoft

Excel version 5.0 spreadsheet in your Word document.

CAUSE

=====

The Select Special command on the Formula menu is specific to Microsoft

Excel. Word does not support the formatting you apply in Microsoft Excel

using the Select Special command. As a result, Word pastes the entire

spreadsheet in your document.

WORKAROUND

==========

Paste the outline portion of your Microsoft Excel spreadsheet into a new

spreadsheet. Format that version of the spreadsheet as you want it to

appear in Word, then copy it and paste it in your Word document. The

following procedure describes this process in detail:

1. In Microsoft Excel, display the outline level you want to paste in Word.

2. From the Formula menu, choose Select Special.

3. Select the Visible Cells Only option and then choose OK.

4. Select the spreadsheet and then, from the Edit menu, choose Copy.

5. Create a new Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

6. From the Edit menu, choose Paste.

7. Select the new spreadsheet. From the Edit menu, choose Copy.

8. Switch to Word and paste the spreadsheet in your document.

No Prompt to Save Word 6.0 Object After Editing

Article ID: Q113053

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you edit an embedded Microsoft Word 6.0 Document or Picture object, you

are not prompted to save changes when you close the object. This happens

whether you edit the Word 6.0 object in place (in situ) in the container

application or open it in a separate Word window.

By contrast, you are prompted to save an embedded Microsoft Word 2.x

Document object when you close it.

CAUSE

=====

Word 6.0 is an OLE 2.0 (object linking and embedding) application, and OLE

2.0 applications, by design, do not prompt you to save when you close an

object that is open for editing, either in situ or in a separate container

application window. This happens even if you embed the Word 6.0 object in

an OLE 1.0 container (client) application such as Windows 3.1 Write.

Word 2.x is an OLE 1.0 application, and OLE 1.0 applications, by design, DO

prompt you to save when you close an object that is open for editing in a

server application.

RESOLUTION

==========

Change the List Separator setting to a comma by following these steps:

1. In the Main group, choose the Windows Control Panel icon.

2. In the Control Panel window, choose the International icon.

3. In the List Separator box, type a comma.

4. Choose OK.

Rows or Columns Cut Off Pasting Large Excel Worksheet in Word

Article ID: Q113057

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you paste or paste link a large Microsoft Excel spreadsheet in a Word

for Windows document, Word may not include all the columns or rows of the

spreadsheet.

CAUSE

=====

By design, when you paste or paste link the spreadsheet in a format other

than rich text format (RTF), Word cuts off the columns and rows that exceed

the margins of the current page.

In other words, if you paste or paste link the spreadsheet in any of the

following formats, Word cuts off any columns and rows that exceed the right

and bottom margins:

   Microsoft Excel 5.0 Worksheet Object

   Unformatted Text

   Picture

   Bitmap

WORKAROUND

==========

If your Microsoft Excel spreadsheet exceeds the margins of your current

page and you do not want Word to cut off any columns or rows, paste or

paste link it in RTF file format. To do this:

1. From the Edit menu, choose Paste Special.

2. In the As box, select Formatted Text (RTF).

3. Select the Paste or Paste Link option, and then choose OK.

Note: If the spreadsheet fits on the current page but not within the

margins, you may be able to paste the entire spreadsheet as an object by

decreasing the margin settings for that section. For example, if Word is

cutting off only one column of your spreadsheet, change the left and right

margins from 1 inch to .5 inch.

Extra Character Appears in Cross-Reference to Paragraph Number

Article ID: Q113104

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A cross-reference to a paragraph number in a multilevel numbered list may

incorrectly include an extra character in your Word for Windows document.

The cross-reference may contain the letter "Y" with an umlaut accent, or it

may contain a hollow rectangle character.

CAUSE

=====

This happens only when you format the multilevel numbered list using one of

the legal or technical multilevel formats and then insert a Bookmark cross-

reference to the paragraph mark.

The problem occurs when you select any of the following technical or legal

predefined formats in the Format Bullets and Numbering dialog box under the

Multilevel tab:

   1.                     1                      1.

      1.1.                   1.1                 1.1.

           1.1.1.                 1.1.1          1.1.1.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

To correct this problem, select and delete the unnecessary character from

the cross-reference. Because the cross-reference is a field, you must not

update it after you delete the character or it will reappear. Use any of

the following methods to prevent the field from updating after you modify

its results:

Method 1: Unlink the field by selecting it and pressing CTRL+SHIFT+F9.

          The disadvantage to this method is that the cross-reference will

          no longer update automatically if you edit your document so the

          paragraph number changes. In this case, you must delete the

          unlinked cross-reference and reinsert it using the Cross-

          Reference command on the Insert menu.

Method 2: Lock the field by selecting it and pressing CTRL+F11. If you

          later edit your document so the paragraph number changes, you

          can unlock the field (press CTRL+SHIFT+F11), update it, remove

          the unnecessary character, and relock the field.

Method 3: If you don't want to lock or unlink the field, you can prevent it

          from updating by turning off the Update Fields option. (To

          display the Update Fields option, choose Options from the Print

          menu and then select the Print tab.)

Err Msg: "SPCLPPR.SPT Missing from Special Paper Directory"

Article ID: Q113107

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word Assistant, version 1.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The following Word Assistant error message may occur when you choose the

Special Paper command from the Insert Menu:

   SPCLPPR.SPT is missing from the Special Papers directory,

   so you cannot run Special Paper.

CAUSE

=====

The above error occurs when the Paper Locations setting in the SPCLPPR.INI

file is incorrect. This happens if you move the Special Paper files after

you install Word Assistant but do not update the SPCLPPR.INI file to

reflect the new location.

Note: When you run the Word Assistant Setup program, you cannot change the

directories where the Special Paper files are located. This means you have

to move them after you complete Setup.

WORKAROUND

==========

Using a text editor such as Windows Notepad, open the SPCLPPR.INI file,

located in the \WINDOWS directory, and correct the path of the

Papers Location setting in the [Special Paper] section. The following

example shows the default settings after Setup:

   [SPECIAL PAPER]

   PAPERS LOCATION=C:\WINWORD\SPCLPPR

   HELP=C:\WINWORD\SPCLPPR.HLP

No Error When Macro Fails to Create Invalid Bookmark Name

Article ID: Q113127

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If a WordBasic macro creates a bookmark whose name begins with the

underscore (_) character, Word for Windows does not display an error

message to notify you that the bookmark name is invalid. The following

error message should, but does not, appear:

   Microsoft Word Err=1009

   The bookmark name is not valid.

By contrast, when you type a name that begins with the underscore (or other

invalid) character in the Edit Bookmark dialog box, the OK button is

unavailable. The OK button is available only when the Bookmark Name box

contains a valid name (that is, a name that begins with a letter).

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following macro demonstrates this incorrect behavior in Word:

French Word 6.0: Syntax Error Updating Word 2.x Formula Field

Article ID: Q113138

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, French International

   Localized version

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In French Word version 6.0 for Windows, if you update a Formula (=) field

you created in French Word version 2.x, the following error may occur:

   Syntax error.

For example, in Word 2.x, the Expression field below produces a correct

result, but when you open this document in Word 6.0 and update the

converted Formula field, a "Syntax error" occurs in place of the result.

Word 2.x Expression Field:

   {=PRODUIT([L1C1];[L1C2]}

Converted Word 6.0 Formula Field (gives "Syntax error"):

   {=PRODUIT(A1,B1)}

CAUSE

=====

When Word 6.0 converts the Expression field, it places a comma (,) between

the cell references instead of a semicolon (;).

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the French international

localized version of Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows. We are

researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Manually replace the comma in the Formula field with a semicolon. To

correct the above Formula field, modify it to the following:

   {=PRODUIT(A1;B1)}

Number FORM Field Error Message: "A Valid Number Is Required"

Article ID: Q113140

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following error message may occur in Word for Windows when you enter a

number in a protected Number FORM field:

   A valid number is required.

CAUSE

=====

If the International settings in Windows Control Panel are for a different

country than the settings in effect when you inserted the FORM field, Word

does not accept your entry in a Number FORM field. Number FORM fields

recognize valid data from only one country at a time.

This does not happen with other fields.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

------------------------------

1. In Windows Control Panel, choose the International icon and switch the

   Country setting to French.

2. In Word, use the following instructions to insert a FORM field:

   a. From the Insert menu, choose Form Field.

   b. Select the Text option and choose the Options button.

   c. In the Type box, select Number.

   d. In the Default Number box, type "2" (without the quotation marks).

   e. In the Number Format box, select # ##0,00 F;(# ##0,00 F) and then

      choose OK.

   f. From the Tools menu, choose Protect Document. Select the Forms

      option and choose OK.

   g. Switch to Windows Control Panel, choose the International icon,

      and switch the Country setting to German.

   h. In the text form field, type "3" (without the quotation marks)

      and press TAB. The following error appears: "A valid number is

      required."

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: In Windows Control Panel, choose the International icon. In the

          Country box, select the same setting you used when you created

          the FORM field.

Method 2: If you want to use a different Country setting, delete and

          reinsert the Number FORM field in Word.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and

6.0a for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes

available.

Custom Paper Sizes Print in Wrong Location

Article ID: Q113141

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print custom paper sizes using Word for Windows, the document may

print in the wrong location on the paper if the envelope printing options

are not set correctly.

CAUSE

=====

Word determines where to print the information on a custom paper size by

using the envelope feed options. The envelope feed options not only affect

how envelopes are printed, but also how custom size documents are printed.

In Word 2.x for Windows, these options are set using printer heuristics. In

Word 6.0, printer heuristics are set by choosing the envelope feed options

in the Printing Options dialog box for envelopes.

RESOLUTION

==========

In most cases, if the envelope printing options are set correctly for

envelopes, custom paper sizes will also print correctly. If custom paper

sizes are printing too far to the left or right, some adjustments may be

necessary. Follow these steps to troubleshoot printing problems with custom

paper sizes:

First, check the paper source to make sure it is correct.

1. From the File menu, choose Page Setup.

2. Select the Paper Source tab.

3. Make sure the paper source is set to Manual, so that the paper will be

   pulled from the Manual Feed slot on the printer.

Second, make sure the Envelope Printing Options are correctly set for the

feed method used by the printer.

1. From the Tools Menu, choose Envelopes And Labels.

2. Choose the Envelopes tab.

3. Choose the Options button.

4. Choose the Printing Options tab.

5. Choose the feed method that matches the way the printer's manual feed

   slot works.

6. Choose OK.

7. Choose Cancel to return to your document.

The custom paper size should now print correctly.

NOTE: If the Envelope Feed icon does not match the way the printer

physically handles custom paper sizes, the results may be unpredictable. In

most cases, the envelope feed icon cannot be used to force the printer to

print custom paper sizes differently than the printer (that is, the manual

feed slot) is designed to. This may work on some printers, but it is very

dependent on the hardware design of the printer, and correct results cannot

be guaranteed.

Cannot Use Some US-International Key Combinations in Word

Article ID: Q113185

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you are using the US-International Keyboard Layout setting, some US-

International key combinations run Word for Windows commands instead of

producing international (accented) characters. (To view the Keyboard Layout

setting, open Windows Control Panel and choose the International icon.)

For example, if you press RIGHT ALT+i to produce a lowercase letter "I"

with an acute accent, Word runs the FilePrintPreview command instead and

switches to print preview.

CAUSE

=====

To implement full keyboard access to all commands, Word overrides several

of the US-International key combinations. As a result, these key

combinations do not produce international characters in Word 6.0; instead,

they run Word commands.

The following table lists the US-International key combinations strokes

that run Word commands instead of producing international characters.

Note: The ALTGR key is the RIGHT ALT key or the CTRL+LEFT ALT key on

standard U.S. keyboard.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: To restore the US-International keyboard functionality for the

          key combinations listed above, you can remove the Word keyboard

          assignment for each one. You can make these changes globally, in

          NORMAL.DOT, or you can make them in a template, which you can

          attach or load as an add-in when needed. Use the following

          procedure to remove Word keyboard assignments to activate the US-

          International key combinations.

          Note: These steps remove the documented Word functionality for

          each key combination you modify. To restore Word functionality,

          choose the Reset All button in the Tools Customize dialog box

          under the Keyboard tab.

          a. From the Tools menu, choose Customize.

          b. Select the Keyboard tab.

          c. From the Categories and Commands lists, select the Word

             command you want to unassign. For example, to unassign the

             ViewNormal command from the ALTGR+n key combination, select

             View in the Categories list and select ViewNormal in the

             Commands list.

          d. Select the key combination in the Current Keys box. For

             example, select ALT+CTRL+N, which appears in the Current Keys

             box for the ViewNormal command.

          e. Choose the Remove button. This clears the key combination

             from the Current Keys box.

          f. Repeat steps c through e to remove additional keyboard

             assignments.

          g. Choose the Close button.

Method 2: If you don't want to remove the Word keyboard assignments, you

          can use one of the following alternative methods to create

          international characters:

          a. From the Insert menu, choose Symbol. Select the international

             character you want to insert and choose the Insert button.

          b. Use the keyboard shortcut key combination to create the

             international character on your U.S. keyboard. For a complete

             list of key combinations for international characters, see

             page 49 in the "Microsoft Word User's Guide" or double-click

             the Help button on the Standard toolbar, and then type

             "international settings".

Method 3: Obtain the ALTKEYBD.DOT template file from Alki Software

          Corporation. This template removes the Word key assignments that

          conflict with US-International key combinations. Alki supplies

          this template with the U.S. domestic version of its foreign

          language proofing tools. The package contains complete

          documentation on most international keyboard settings and

          includes keyboard layout diagrams. ALTKEYBD.DOT modifies only

          the keyboard assignments; it does not affect menu or toolbar

          assignments for any Word commands.

"Cannot Read from Drive C" Error with WFW 3.11

Article ID: Q113186

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 5.0

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, version 3.11

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run Word 6.0 for Windows or Microsoft Excel 5.0 for Windows, one

of the following error messages may occur on some systems:

   Cannot Read from Drive C

   The disk is full or too many files are open

These errors should only occur on computers that have Windows for

Workgroups 3.11 pre-installed (that is, already installed on the computer

when you purchase it).

CAUSE

=====

On computers that are not pre-installed with a network card, the following

DEVICE line is missing from the CONFIG.SYS file:

   DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS

When this command is missing, you cannot perform certain file input and

output (I/O) operations. It is necessary for local as well as network I/O

operations. This line is sometimes included in the CONFIG.SYS file for

computers that come with a pre-installed network card but omitted from

computers with no network card.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has notified computer manufactures that pre-install Windows that

this line is necessary for all I/O operations, not just network I/O

operations.

RESOLUTION

==========

Open your CONFIG.SYS file in a text editor such as Windows Notepad and add

the following line

   DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS

where "C:\WINDOWS" is your Windows program directory.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The IFSHLP.SYS file is a system file responsible for interacting with 32-

bit File Access and 32-bit Disk Access operations. You usually need to

include this line to run Windows for Workgroups properly. For information

on conditions in which you do not need IFSHLP.SYS, query on the following

words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   Workgroups and IFSHLP.SYS

Microsoft has received reports of other error messages that occur because

of the missing IFSHLP.SYS device driver.

Cannot Merge a BARCODE Field Based on a Condition

Article ID: Q113213

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A BARCODE field nested in an IF field produces no merge result even when

the condition is true.

CAUSE

=====

BARCODE fields are a special type of Word field called a "display" field.

Display fields produce their own results and, unlike other Word fields, the

result of a display field cannot exist independently of the field itself

(display fields can't be unlinked). Consequently, the result of a display

field cannot be fetched by the IF field for its result.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 for Windows. We

are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Use the Record Selection feature to merge only those records that

          have addresses in the U.S. After all these records have been

          merged, remove the BARCODE field and merge those records that

          are not in the U.S.

Method 2: Sort the data file by the country field so that all records for

          the U.S. are together. Using the mail merge helper, merge only

          the range of records that includes the country U.S. After all

          U.S. records have been merged, remove the BARCODE field and

          merge the range of records that includes countries other than

          the U.S.

Recorded Macro Does Not Retain Printer Selection

Article ID: Q113240

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you record a macro in Word 6.0 for Windows, it does not retain the

current Printer setting. The only time Word records the Printer setting is

when you choose the Set As Default Printer button in the Printer Setup

dialog box. This differs from Word 2.x functionality, in which the macro

recorder does retain the Printer setting, even when you do not switch to a

different default printer.

CAUSE

=====

By design, Word 6.0 always uses the default Windows printer driver, so the

macro recorder does not record information about the printer driver unless

you change to a different default printer.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you want your Word macro to print using a specific printer driver, use

the FilePrintSetup command. To record this macro, turn on the macro

recorder and perform the following steps.

Note: This workaround resets your default Windows printer setting.

1. From the File menu, choose Print.

2. Choose the Printer button.

3. In the Printers list, select the printer you want to use and then

   choose the Set As Default Printer button.

4. Choose the Close button in the Printer Setup dialog box.

5. Select the formats you want in the File Print dialog box, and then

   choose OK to print.

6. Turn off the macro recorder.

The following is a sample recorded macro that switches to a specific

Printer setting and then prints the document:

 Sub MAIN

  FilePrintSetup .Printer = "HP LaserJet 4Si/4Si MX on LPT1:"

  FilePrint .AppendPrFile = 0, .Range = "0", .PrToFileName = "", \

   .From = "", .To = "", .Type = 0, .NumCopies = "1", .Pages = "", \

   .Order = 0, .PrintToFile = 0, .Collate = 1, .FileName = ""

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you mark Index entries automatically by using the AutoMark feature

(that is, by using a concordance file), Word will not find hyphenated words

and may skip duplicate entries with different capitalization. (To locate

the AutoMark feature, choose Index And Tables from the Insert menu, select

the Index tab, and choose the AutoMark button.)

There are two parts to an AutoMark file, usually in a two-column table.

The left column identifies items for Word to find (search words) and the

right column specifies the text for the XE fields. The information in this

article applies to the search words in the left column.

     Search Words           {XE} Content

          |                      |

   -----------------------------------------------

   |sample^text        |This goes in the XE Field |

   -----------------------------------------------

   |SAMPLE^TEXT        |Sample information        |

   -----------------------------------------------

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

The AutoMark feature cannot find words that contain hyphens. To work around

this limitation, perform a search-and-replace on the hyphenated words and

replace the hyphens with a special character. Restore the document by

replacing the special characters with hyphens.

NOTE: Do not use nonbreaking spaces (CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR) to replace the

hyphens unless the connecting words are words the speller can recognize

individually (for example, "plug-and-play" but not "t-shirt").

When the AutoMark file contains the same word with different

capitalization, Word will randomly miss words in the document. The first

few occurrences of the word is found (usually the lowercase), but

subsequent occurrences are not. If you rerun AutoMark, Word will pick up a

few more words each time.

To improve the number of entries that are marked, try the following:

 - Run the index three or four times.

 - Remove "white space" (for example, spaces and tabs) from the concordance

   file.

 - Sort the concordance file.

 - Break down the document you are trying to mark into smaller documents.

Doc Err: SelInfo() Has 36 Options, WDK Lists Only 32

Article ID: Q113286

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit" incorrectly states on page 667 that

the SelInfo() function can return only 32 types of information on the

current selection. As stated (correctly) in Word Help, SelInfo() can

actually return 36 types of information.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit" explains the first 32 types of

information available for the SelInfo() function, but it does not mention

options 33 through 36.

Options 33 through 36 are described in Help as follows:

   Type  Explanation

   ----  -----------

   33    The kind of header or footer containing the selection:

         -1        None (the selection is not in a header or footer)

         0 (zero)  Even-page header

         1         Odd-page header (or the only header if there are not odd

                   and even headers)

         2         Even-page footer

         3         Odd-page footer (or the only footer if there are not odd

                   and even footers)

         4         First-page header

         5         First-page footer

   34    Returns -1 if the active document is a master document (that is,

         if it contains at least one subdocument).

   35    Returns -1 if the selection is in the footnote pane or in a

         footnote in page layout view.

   36    Same as 35, but for endnotes.

Entry Macro Runs Before AutoNew Macro in Protected Form

Article ID: Q113291

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you create a document based on a template that is protected for forms,

Word for Windows runs the Entry macro in the first FORM field before it

runs an AutoNew macro. The Entry macro runs before both global and template-

based AutoNew macros.

If there is no Entry macro in the first FORM field, the AutoNew macro runs

first, as usual.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you need to run the AutoNew macro before the first Entry macro runs in a

document based on a template that is protected for forms, you can run

AutoNew from your Entry macro using the following procedure:

1. Rename the AutoNew macro to a name that Word does not recognize as

   automatic (for example, rename AutoNew to NotAutoNew). See page 754 in

   the "Microsoft Word User's Guide" for instructions on renaming a macro.

   Note: Macro names are not case sensitive.

2. Open the Entry macro for the first FORM field. To find the name of the

   Entry macro assigned to that FORM field, double-click the field to open

   the Text Form Field Options dialog box.

3. Add the new name of the AutoNew macro to the beginning of your Entry

   macro, after the "Sub MAIN" line. The following is a sample Entry macro

   that first runs a renamed AutoNew macro:

      Sub MAIN

      NotAutoNew

      MsgBox "Type your name here."

      End Sub

Word Err Msg: Word Could Not Parse Your Query Options...

Article ID: Q113314

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following error message:

   Word could not parse your query options into valid SQL string.

Will occur for one of the following reasons:

Case 1: If you filter records using Query Options from the Insert Database

        or Mail Merge dialog box and you query a field in which at least

        one data record contains a number not immediately preceded by a

        letter. For example: "TV50" will work, "TV-50" will not.

Case 2: The query on the field described above contains at least one

        letter, at any position.

Case 3: The query contains text but, the SQL field is formatted as a

        Boolean field.

CAUSE

=====

This problem may be caused by one of the following:

1. The value used for the Compare To field in the Filter Records query

   contains an invalid character (symbol), such as an apostrophe.

   -or-

2. All of the following conditions are true:

    - The first record in the Word document data source contains a field

      that begins with a number.

      -and-

    - The field in the above condition is used as part of the query

      definition.

      -and-

    - The value used for the Compare To field in the query is text only

      or a combination of valid text characters and numbers.

      -and-

    - The value used for the Compare To field in the query is NOT a

      combination of valid symbols and numbers, for example 98102-0001.

3. The query contains inappropriate characters for field queried. For

   example, querying a Boolean field for "yes". The appropriate query would

   be "-1".

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem, use only valid characters in the Word document

data source, and create the data source so that all fields in the first

record begin with a valid character rather than a number.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following tables show the valid and invalid characters for query

tables.

Valid Characters

----------------

. (period)

, (comma)

- (hyphen)

Extended characters beyond ANSI code 128

Invalid Characters

------------------

~ Tilde                   ! Exclamation

Macro to Determine If the Header or Footer Is Linked

Article ID: Q113434

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Microsoft WordBasic does not include a macro statement or function to

determine if a header or footer is linked to the previous section. To

determine if the header or footer is linked to the previous section, use

the CommandValid function.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

For example:

Sub MAIN

ViewHeader

X = CommandValid("FormatHeaderFooterLink")

If x = 0 Then MsgBox "Header is linked"

End Sub

To determine if the footer is linked to the previous section in your

document, change the ViewHeader statement to ViewFooter in the above macro

example.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following example determines if the header is linked to the previous

section, and if the header is not linked, the macro establishes a link to

the header in the previous section:

Sub MAIN

ViewHeader

X = CommandValid("FormatHeaderFooterLink")

If x = - 1 Then

ToggleHeaderFooterLink

CloseViewHeaderFooter

End If

End Sub

The CommandValid(CommandName$) function returns -1 if CommandName$ is

available in the current context; it returns 0 (zero) if the command is not

available.

Macro to Determine Attached Template Filename

Article ID: Q113435

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Word 6.0 for Windows, your macro may need to determine which template is

attached to the current document. To determine which template is attached,

you can dimension the FileTemplates or FileSummaryInfo dialog box to

retrieve the template name.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Use either of the following macros to return the filename and the MS-DOS

path of the attached template file:

Sub MAIN

Dim dlg As FileTemplates

GetCurValues dlg

x$ = dlg.Template

MsgBox x$

End Sub

 -or-

Sub MAIN

Dim dlg As FileSummaryInfo

GetCurValues dlg

x$ = dlg.Template

Msgbox x$

End Sub

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following example determines if the current template is the Normal

template file (NORMAL.DOT). If the Normal template is not attached, the

macro uses the FileTemplates statement to attach the Normal template file.

Sub MAIN

Dim dlg As FileSummaryInfo

GetCurValues dlg

x$ = dlg.Template

If InStr(x$, "NORMAL.DOT") = 0 Then

 FileTemplates .Template = "Normal.dot"

End If

End Sub

Courier Text Printed with Underline with ATM 2.5 or Later

Article ID: Q113444

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print a document that contains Courier font formatting but no

underline formatting, Word for Windows may print the text underlined. This

may happen even when the text appears correct (that is, not underlined) on

the screen.

CAUSE

=====

This problem may occur if you have Adobe Type Manager (ATM) version 2.5 or

later installed on your computer. It does not happen with versions of ATM

earlier than 2.5, and it does not happen with the ATM 2.5 packaged with

WordPerfect 5.2 for Windows (this version does not include Courier fonts).

This problem frequently occurs in Word 6.0 when you open a document

that was created in a different file format (such as Word 2.x for

Windows, WordPerfect, or Microsoft Word for MS-DOS). If the document

contains text formatted with the ATM 2.5 Courier font, it may print

underlined from Word 6.0.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: If you have a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet or DeskJet printer,

change the "Use Pre-built" setting:

1. Double-click the ATM Control Panel in Program Manager.

   (Word can be running when you do this.) ATM Control Panel

   can also be started from Program Manager by selecting the

   File menu, choosing Run and typing ATMCNTRL on the command line.

2. Clear the "Use Pre-built or Resident Fonts" check box.

3. Choose the Exit button to close the ATM Control Panel.

4. Return to Word and reprint the document.

Method 2: If Courier font resolution differs and the result is

undesirable, do NOT clear the "Use Pre-built or Resident Fonts" check

box mentioned in Method 1, step 2 (that is, leave it selected), and

do one of the following:

 - Upgrade the Courier font by contacting Adobe.

   -or-

a. Start a text editor such as Notepad and open the ATM.INI file.

b. In the Settings section, add the line "DeferUnder=On"

   (without the quotation marks).

c. Save the file.

d. Quit the text editor.

e. Return to Word and print the document.

NOTE: The printer can now handle underlining. In addition, the DeferUnder

entry resolves problems with uneven underlining on LaserJet printers. The

entry mentioned in step 2 (above) is not referenced in the README.TXT file

supplied with ATM 2.5.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following information is from the README.TXT file supplied with ATM

2.5:

   When you select the Use Pre-built or Resident Fonts option, ATM

   lets PCL printer drivers use pre-built or printer-resident fonts

   to print documents. When you clear the Use Pre-built or Resident

   Fonts check box, ATM creates characters for PCL printer drivers

   to print even when pre-built or printer-resident fonts are

   available.

   Although ATM does not require that you restart Windows after you

   change the Use Pre-built or Resident Fonts option, you might

   have to quit and restart applications for this option to take

   effect.

   If you are using Windows 3.1 with printer drivers that allow

   soft fonts to be created on-the-fly (such as the PCL drivers),

   you might want to turn this option off to speed printing.  It is

   more efficient for a printer driver to create a soft font on-

   the-fly than to download a pre-built font.  You can see if you

   have any pre-built fonts installed for your PCL printer by

   checking the printer driver's Fonts dialog box. To display the

   driver's Fonts dialog box, choose Fonts in the driver's Printer

   Setup dialog box.

The README.TXT file Adobe provides with the ATM program includes additional

information on the uses and configuration of ATM for best printing results.

Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is manufactured by Adobe Systems Incorporated, a

vendor independent of Microsoft. We make no warranty, expressed or implied,

regarding this product's functionality. Support for Adobe Type Manager is

the sole responsibility of Adobe Systems Incorporated.

How to Include a Microsoft Excel Chart in a Mail Merge

Article ID: Q113445

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Excel, versions 3.0, 4.0, 5.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

To include a Microsoft Excel chart in a Word for Windows mail merge

operation, use a DDEAUTO field.

MORE INFORMATION

================

If you want to perform a conditional merge with a Microsoft Excel chart,

you can use the DDE field and the IF statement if that chart is not in the

main document.

A sample syntax for the IF statement and the DDEAUTO field using Microsoft

Excel 3.0 or 4.0 is as follows:

   {IF {MERGEFIELD JobTitle} = "president" {DDEAUTO Excel CHART2.XLC

   \*MERGEFORMAT}}

The syntax for the statement using Microsoft Excel 5.0 is:

   {IF {MERGEFIELD JobTitle} = "president" {DDEAUTO Excel.Sheet.5

   "C:\\excel\\sheet.xls"  "chart" \p}

Chart represents the name of the chart in the Microsoft Excel workbook.

This statement includes the Microsoft Excel chart only if MERGEFIELD

JobTitle is equal to "president"; if it is not "president," the chart does

not appear in the document.

Cannot Change LINK Source File to Different Excel Worksheet

Article ID: Q113482

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 for Windows, if you open a Word 2.x for Windows file that

contains a link to a Microsoft Excel worksheet, you cannot change to a

different source file. In Word, you can choose Links from the Edit menu,

choose the Change Source button, select a new worksheet as a source file,

and then choose OK; Word lists the new worksheet name in the Edit Links

dialog box, and you can choose OK. However, the original Microsoft Excel

worksheet continues to appear in the document and, if you re-open the

Edit Links dialog box, Word again lists the original Microsoft Excel

worksheet as the source file (as if you never choose the Change Source

button and changed the source file).

This only happens with documents you created in Word 2.x. It does not

happen with a document you originally created in Word 6.0.

CAUSE

=====

Your Windows REG.DAT file does not contain a valid path to Microsoft Excel.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Use the instructions below to update your REG.DAT file so it

          points to the correct location of Microsoft Excel. The advantage

          of this method is that it corrects the problem for all Word 2.x

          files that contain a link to a Microsoft Excel worksheet.

          a. Open Windows File Manager.

          b. Select one of the following two files:

             OLE2.REG (located in your <WINDOWS>\SYSTEM subdirectory)

             WINWORD6.REG (located in your Word 6.0 program directory)

          c. From the File menu, choose Associate. REG should appear in the

             Files With Extension box (if it doesn't appear there, type it

             in).

          d. From the Associate With list, select Registration Entries

             (regedit.exe) and then choose OK.

          e. Double-click OLE2.REG. Choose OK when the following message

             appears in a Registration Info Editor dialog box:

                Information in <PATH>\OLE2.REG has been successfully

                registered in the registration database.

          f. Double-click WINWORD6.REG. Choose OK when the Registration

             Info Editor message appears.

Method 2: In Word, Use the Links command on the Edit menu to break the link

          and then to re-establish it.

          Note: The drawback to this method is that it does not permanently

          resolve the problem. If you want to avoid the problem in the

          future, use Method 1.

Word 6.0a Patch Fails After Installing Office 4.2

Article ID: Q113483

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

   Unable to find the .STF file in the WIN.INI.

The above Word 6.0a for Windows patch error may occur if you have

Microsoft Office version 4.2 for Windows on your computer if you

installed it in the following specific sequence:

1. You installed the full retail Office 4.0 package--not the Office 4.0

   upgrade package.

2. You installed the Office 4.2 upgrade--not the full retail Office 4.2

   package.

3. Then you tried to upgrade to Word 6.0a for Windows using the Word 6.0a

   patch.

This problem does not occur if you installed Office 4.0 using the upgrade

package or if you installed Word 6.0 before you installed Office 4.0.

Similarly, it does not occur if you installed Office 4.2 using the full

retail package.

CAUSE

=====

When you upgrade to Office 4.2, Setup replaces your old SETUP.STF file with

a new SETUP.STF file; the new .STF file does not contain the Word 6.0

information the Word 6.0a patch needs to upgrade your Word for Windows

program. The Word 6.0a patch searches in the [MS Setup (ACME) Table Files]

section of your WIN.INI file for either of the following two entries:

   WINWORD.EXE@v6.0.0.2226(1033)=C:\WINWORD\SETUP\SETUP.STF

   MSOFFICE.EXE@v1.0.0.0000(1033)=C:\MSOFFICE\SETUP\SETUP.STF

In the installation sequence described above, there is no WINWORD.EXE line

in the [MS Setup (ACME) Table Files] section of your WIN.INI file (only

Word 6.0 Setup, not Office Setup, writes the WINWORD.EXE line to your

WIN.INI). As a result, the Word 6.0a patch only looks at the SETUP.STF file

specified by the MSOFFICE.EXE line, which is the .STF file installed by

Office 4.2 that does not contain any Word 6.0 information.

In other words, this problem occurs when:

1. There is no WINWORD.EXE line in the [MS Setup (ACME) Table Files]

   section of your WIN.INI file.

   -and-

2. The Word 6.0a patch looks at the SETUP.STF file installed by the

   Office 4.2 upgrade, which does not contain any Word 6.0 information.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

1. Rename the SETUP.STF file installed by the Office 4.2 upgrade (for

   example, rename the file to SETUP.OLD).

2. Reinstall Office 4.0, but choose to only install Word 6.0. You do not

   need to reinstall Microsoft Excel or PowerPoint if you have already

   upgraded to Microsoft Excel 5.0 and PowerPoint 4.0. This restores the

   SETUP.STF file that contains Word 6.0 information.

3. Run the Word 6.0a patch again.

4. Upgrade to Office 4.2.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The full retail package of Microsoft Office version 4.2 for Windows

ships with Word 6.0a for Windows.

However, the Office 4.2 upgrade package does not contain either Word 6.0 or

6.0a. The Office 4.2 upgrade only contains PowerPoint 4.0 and Microsoft

Office Manager (MOM) 4.2. The Office 4.2 upgrade does nothing to your Word

6.0 installation. That means you still need to obtain and run the Word 6.0a

patch to upgrade your Word 6.0 installation.

IMPORTANT: There are problems running the Word 6.0a patch after you upgrade

to Office 4.2 using the upgrade package. For more information on this

problem, query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

How to Use Form Data as Mail Merge Data Source

Article ID: Q113626

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how you can use data from a Word for Windows form as

the data source for a mail merge operation.

Note: You cannot use a protected form document as a mail merge main

document. In fact, the Mail Merge command on the Tools menu is unavailable

when a protected form is the active document.

Using Form Data As Mail Merge Data Source

-----------------------------------------

In a protected form, it is possible to save the data only, in comma-

delimited text-file format. You can use this text file as a data document

in a Word mail merge, or you can add it to an existing data document. To

save only the data, do the following:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2. Select the Save tab.

3. Select the Save Data Only For Forms check box, and then choose OK.

4. Fill out your protected form.

5. From the File menu, choose Save Copy As. Word proposes the same name as

   your form document, with a .TXT extension. Word automatically selects

   Text Only in the Save File As Type box. Type a new filename or choose OK

   to accept the default name.

DropCap Adds Right Spacing If Paragraph Indented

Article ID: Q113627

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you create a dropped capital letter at the beginning of a paragraph

using the Drop Cap command on the Format menu, sometimes extra space

appears to the right of the dropped capital letter, between the letter and

the remaining text. The extra space ruins the intended Drop Cap effect.

CAUSE

=====

If the paragraph to which you apply the Drop Cap formatting contains

certain paragraph formatting such as right indent formatting, Word applies

the same paragraph formatting to the Drop Cap paragraph. Some paragraph

formats, such as left indent formatting, do not affect the position of the

Drop Cap.

WORKAROUND

==========

Select the dropped capital letter, or its frame, and remove the paragraph

formatting that affects the Drop Cap. For example, remove the right indent

formatting by choosing Paragraph from the Format menu, selecting 0" (zero

inches) in the Right Indent box, and choosing OK.

FoxPro File Opened Via ODBC Displays Wrong Extended Characters

Article ID: Q113628

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, if you open a Microsoft FoxPro for Windows file using

open database connectivity (ODBC), extended ANSI characters above 0128 may

incorrectly map to the wrong character. For example, the British pound

symbol (ANSI code 0163), maps to the accented lowercase letter U (ANSI code

0250).

CAUSE

=====

FoxPro for Windows stores extended characters as ASCII character codes,

then directly translates these ASCII codes into ANSI codes when you open

the .DBF file in FoxPro. When you use ODBC, however, no translation from

ASCII to ANSI occurs, so Word interprets the ASCII character codes as ANSI

and displays the wrong character.

For example, FoxPro maps ANSI character 0163 (British pound symbol) to the

ASCII character 250 (also the British pound symbol). When you use ODBC to

open the FoxPro file, Word reads ASCII 250 as ANSI 0250 and displays the

accented lowercase letter U.

WORKAROUND

==========

Save the FoxPro database file as a Microsoft Excel .XLS file, then use the

Microsoft Excel converter to open or insert the file in Word.

Hyphenation Zone Fails to Return Error When Set Lower Than .01

Article ID: Q113655

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You specify a value less than .01 inch (to and including .00000 inches) in

the Hyphenation Zone box, but Word uses .01 inch for the zone. (To locate

the Hyphenation Zone setting, choose Hyphenation from the Tools menu.)

Also, Word does not give you the appropriate error message to warn you of

the invalid value:

   The measurement must be between 0.01" and 22".

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word for Windows,

versions 6.0 and 6.0a. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Type in a value between .01 inch and 22 inches for the hyphenation zone.

Heading Styles Cannot Be Deleted

Article ID: Q113656

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOM

=======

Once a heading style is added to a Word 6.0 document, you cannot delete it

from the style list.

CAUSE

=====

Because a heading level style previously used may still be referenced by a

modifier, heading styles cannot be deleted from the style list.

When you promote a paragraph, Word marks the text with a modifier that

indicates the paragraph is one level higher than it was previously.

Although the correct heading level is displayed and will print, the style

is not explicitly applied to the text. This process saves a lot of display

update time when large blocks of mixed text are promoted or demoted because

Word does not need to go through all of the altered text reapplying styles.

Paragraphs that have been demoted also contain modifiers that refer to the

previously applied heading levels. A demoted paragraph at Heading 3 level,

for example, may have a modifier referencing Heading 2.

Updating INDEX Field Changes Section Break Properties

Article ID: Q113692

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In a Word for Windows document that contains a new-page section break

followed by an index, Word changes the break to a continuous section break

when you update the INDEX field in the document.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Use one of the following methods if you want a new-page section break to

precede your index:

Method 1: Insert two next-page section breaks before the index. When you

          update the INDEX field, Word changes only one of them to

          continuous, so a page break occurs before the index. Do not

          delete either section break after you update the index.

Method 2: After you update the INDEX field, double-click the first section

          break to open the File Page Setup dialog box. Select the Layout

          tab, be sure Section Start is set to New Page, and choose OK. If

          you later update the INDEX field, Word retains the New Page

          setting.

Changing the Background Color of the Document Window

Article ID: Q113700

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 for Windows does not include separate color controls for the

different screen elements in Word. You can, however, change the background

color using either of the following workarounds.

Method 1: To change the background to blue, do the following:

          a. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

          b. Select the General tab.

          c. Select the "Blue Background, White Text" check box and choose

             the OK button.

Method 2: Change the background color in the Microsoft Windows Control

          Panel by doing the following. Note: This change will affect all

          Windows applications, including Word for Windows.

          a. Switch to the Windows Program Manager and choose the Control

             Panel icon (usually, in the Main group).

          b. Choose the Color icon.

          c. Choose the Color Palette button.

          d. From the Screen Element list box, select Window Background.

          e. Select any color and choose the OK button. For example,

             choose the light gray color, which is two colors to the left

             of the default white color.

          Note: You can also change the Window Text color from the default

          black color.

Inserting MS Access Query Brings in Extra Fields

Article ID: Q113704

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you insert data in a Word document from a Microsoft Access database

using DDE as the conversion method, Word for Windows inserts all the fields

in the query, even though you specify only certain fields. (To insert data,

use the Database command on the Insert menu or the Mail Merge feature. To

specify fields, choose the Select Fields option in the Query Options dialog

box.)

By contrast, this problem does not occur when you insert data using a

database table or when you use ODBC for the conversion method.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Insert the information using an MS Access table for the data

          source, rather than a query. You can then refine the inserted

          information from the database based on both fields and records.

          All the options will be available and usable.

Method 2: Insert the information using an MS Access query for the data

          source. Then delete the unwanted fields by first selecting that

          column in Word and then choosing Delete Column from the Table

          menu.

Method 3: Insert the information using ODBC as the conversion method,

          rather than DDE. To choose ODBC, do the following:

          a. From the Insert menu, choose Database.

          b. Under Data Source, choose the Get Data button.

          c. Select the Confirm Conversions check box.

          d. Open the Microsoft Access database from which you want to

             insert information.

          e. In the Confirm Data Source dialog box, select "MS Access

             Databases via ODBC (*.mdb)."

MORE INFORMATION

================

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

------------------------------

1. From the Insert menu, choose Database.

2. Under Data Source, choose the Get Data button. Select the Confirm

   Conversions check box. In the List Files Of Type list, select MS Access

   Databases (*.mdb). Select the Microsoft Access program directory and

   open the NWIND.MND file. In the Confirm Data Source dialog box, select

   "MS Access Databases via DDE (*.mdb)."

3. Microsoft Access will open, and the Microsoft Access dialog box will

   open. Select the Queries tab, and then double-click Customer List in the

   queries list box.

4. In the Database dialog box, select the Query Options button.

5. Choose the Select Fields tab, and then choose the Remove All button.

6. Under Fields In Data Source, select Company_Name, then choose the Select

   button. This will leave just the Customer_Name field in the Selected

   Fields box. Choose OK.

7. In the Database dialog box, choose the Insert Data button. In the Insert

   Data dialog box choose From 1 to 5 (just to limit the amount of data

   coming in) and select OK.

The expected table should be only one column with just the Company_Name

field. The actual result is both of the original query's fields as they

were set up in the original query created in Microsoft Access.

Err: "Word Could Not Re-Establish DDE Connection to MS Excel"

Article ID: Q113705

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 5.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you specify a range when you attach a Microsoft Excel version 5.0 for

Windows spreadsheet as a mail merge data source using dynamic data exchange

(DDE), the following error message may occur:

   Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Microsoft Excel

   to complete the current task.

CAUSE

=====

This error occurs if you use a colon (:) to specify a range of cells you

want to use. For example, if you specify a range by typing "A1:G6" or

"R1C1:R6C7" in the Microsoft Excel dialog box that appears after you select

a spreadsheet, this error occurs.

This error occurs when you use DDE to open the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

It does not happen if you use the Microsoft Excel converter supplied with

Word 6.0. If you use a different separator, such as a comma, period, or

semicolon, Word does not attach the spreadsheet at all.

STATUS

======

This behavior is contrary to the information in the Microsoft Excel Dialog

Box help topic. In this topic, Word Help states the following:

   Select a named range of cells or type the row and column references

   you want to use from the worksheet. For example, A1:C5 includes the

   information in cells A1 through C5.

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: From the Tools menu select Mail Merge, choose the Get Data button

          and choose Open Data Source. Ensure that the Confirm Conversions

          box is selected. When Word prompts you to confirm the data

          source, select Microsoft Excel Worksheet via Converter (*.xls)

          from the Open Data Source list. When you use the converter, the

          error does not occur, even if you specify a range using a colon

          as the separator.

Method 2: In Microsoft Excel version 5.0 for Windows, use a name to define

          the range of data you want to use as the mail merge data source.

          In Word, when the Microsoft Excel dialog box appears, select

          that name in the Named or Cell Range list. This method works

          whether you open the spreadsheet using DDE or the Microsoft

          Excel converter.

Commas Change to Decimals in MS Excel Chart Pasted as Picture

Article ID: Q113706

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you paste a Microsoft Excel chart into a Word for Windows document as a

picture, edit the picture by double-clicking it, and then return to Word,

any commas in numbers change to decimal points. For example, the number

54,321 appears as 54.321.

Note: If your chart contains vertical text, it changes to horizontal after

you return to Word from the picture editor. This happens because Word does

not support rotated text.

CAUSE

=====

This is a display issue only. The numbers still contain commas, but the

bottom of the comma is truncated, so the commas look like decimal points.

The commas print correctly.

This problem occurs with charts created in either Microsoft Excel version

4.0 or 5.0.

WORKAROUND

==========

1. Open the chart in the Word picture editor.

2. Use the Select Drawing Objects button on the Drawing toolbar to select

   one of the text boxes that contains truncated commas.

3. Drag one of the bottom sizing handles on the text box to enlarge it.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for any other text boxes that contain commas.

5. When you are done, choose the Close Picture button on the Picture

   toolbar.

GP Fault with Atech FastFonts Printer Driver

Article ID: Q113720

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Using the version 3.02 FastFonts for Windows printer driver by Atech as the

default printer will cause general protection (GP) fault when you start

Word.

CAUSE

=====

FastFonts is a third-party font management package created by Atech that

offers additional fonts and font management utilities. One of the utilities

is a printer driver designed to enhance printing speed. Upon installation,

FastFonts sets the FastFonts printer driver FFPRN.DRV as the default

printer. This printer driver will cause a GP fault when starting Word.

RESOLUTION

==========

Set another printer driver as the default printer in Control

Panel to prevent the GP fault.

FastFonts can convert its internal fonts into TrueType fonts. These fonts

must be converted to TrueType format to be used with Word.

For more information on complete disabling FastFonts, query on the

following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   disable and fastfonts

STATUS

======

Atech, the manufacturer of FastFonts, is no longer in business, and Owl

Software is now supporting FastFonts. Owl Software confirmed this to be a

problem with the FastFonts printer driver.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you turn on the Picture Placeholders option and then insert a

picture in your document, Word for Windows turns off the Picture

Placeholders option and displays the picture. (To locate the Picture

Placeholders option, choose Options from the Tools menu and select

the View tab.)

This happens each time you insert a picture in your Word document.

STATUS

======

MORE INFORMATION

================

By contrast, if you insert an object while Picture Placeholders is turned

on, Word does not turn off the option. However, if you insert a picture on

the same line as the object, Word clears the Picture Placeholders option

and displays both the object and picture.

If you insert an object while Picture Placeholders is turned on, then

insert a picture on a different line in your document, Word displays the

picture but not the object, and Word clears the Picture Placeholders

option. If you then choose the Show/Hide button on the Standard toolbar to

toggle the display of nonprinting characters, Word displays both the object

and the picture (it doesn't matter if Show/Hide is turned on or off when

you choose the button).

incorrectly. Word for Windows wraps the text at the width of the printable

page, divided by the number of columns.

For example, in a two-column document on a 6-inch-wide page, Word wraps all

lines at 3 inches, even if the column widths are 2 and 4 inches.

CAUSE

=====

Word wraps variable-width columns as if they were equal-width columns when

you are in normal view. Normal view is an editing view, so Word does not

display all aspects of your document as they will print (WYSIWYG).

RESOLUTION

==========

To view your variable-width columns with the text wrapped as it will print,

switch to page layout view (choose Page Layout from the View menu).

Doc Err: Picture Placeholders Don't Affect In-Place Editing

Article ID: Q113730

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The "Word for Windows  User's Guide," version 6.0, incorrectly states on

page 598 that selecting Picture Placeholders will disable in-place editing

of embedded objects:

   Word cannot display the WordArt of Equation Editor toolbars and menus if

   you have selected the Picture Placeholders option...

Editing a embedded object is possible even if you have Picture Placeholders

selected.

Word Setup Corrupts FAT Under WFW or with Adaptec Controller

Article ID: Q113733

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

After you run the Word for Windows Setup program, the file allocation table

(FAT) on your computer may be damaged (corrupt) if your computer uses an

Adaptec disk controller card or if you are running under Windows for

Workgroups 3.11.

CAUSE

=====

The FAT corruption usually occurs if the computer is running either a pre-

release (beta) copy of Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 or the Adaptec

device driver ASPI4DOS.SYS version 3.0 or earlier, or both.

Adaptec's 1542B SCSI controller card requires ASPI4DOS.SYS driver version

3.0a or later to operate correctly with version 3.1 of Microsoft Windows or

Windows for Workgroups.

For more information about this problem when you are running Windows for

Workgroups version 3.1 or 3.11, query on the following words in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   ASPI4DOS.SYS and adaptec and workgroups and 3.11

RESOLUTION

==========

If the computer is running a pre-release copy of Windows for Workgroups

version 3.11 (determined by choosing About from the Help menu of Program

Manager), obtain and install the released version.

If the computer is running a version of ASPI4DOS.SYS prior to version 3.0a,

contact Adaptec to obtain an upgrade.

For more information on ASPI4DOS.SYS, contact Adaptec technical support.

Template and User Styles not Saved in Subdocument

Article ID: Q113735

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you create a subdocument within a master document, Word for Windows

does not save any template or user-defined styles with the subdocument. If

you open the subdocument and choose Style from the Format menu, Word lists

only the built-in, default styles in the Styles box. If you select User-

Defined Styles in the List box, Word displays nothing in the Styles box.

Note: To create a subdocument within a master document, choose the Create

Subdocument button on the Master Document toolbar.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Open the subdocument and then merge the styles from a template or the

master document using one of the following methods:

Method 1: a. From the File menu, choose Templates.

          b. In the Document Templates list, type the name of the template

             that contains the styles you want to include in your

             subdocument.

             -or-

             Choose the Attach button and select the template.

          c. Select the Automatically Update Styles option and then

             choose OK.

Method 2: a. From the Format menu, choose Style.

          b. Choose the Organizer button, and select the Styles tab.

          c. In one of the Styles Available In boxes, make sure the name of

             the subdocument appears.

          d. In the other Styles Available In box, select the template

             or document that contains the styles you want to use in your

             subdocument. If the template or document does not appear in

             the list, choose the Close File button (the button changes to

             an Open File button). Choose the Open File button, select the

             template or document you want, and then choose OK.

          e. Select the styles you want to copy to your subdocument, and

             then choose the Copy button.

          f. Choose the Close button.

Article ID: Q113736

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0 and 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you format a paragraph to have a first line indent of any number

greater than 0 (zero), or if you change a style to have this formatting,

the first line formatting is not retained when you start a second

paragraph.

Similarly, if you set a left or right paragraph indent, Word retains the

indent formatting for one paragraph only; Word removes the indent

formatting for the next paragraph.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs if Help For WordPerfect Users is selected.

RESOLUTION

==========

Turn off WordPerfect Help with one of the following methods.

Method 1: a. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

          b. Select the General tab.

          c. Clear the Help For WordPerfect Users check box.

Method 2: a. On the status bar, double-click the letters WPH.

          users of WordPerfect.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The only formatting lost by selecting this WordPerfect option is

Paragraph/Indents (that is, left and right indents and special). Any other

formatting is retained correctly.

The line in the WINWORD6.INI file that controls this option reads

   WPHELP=<n>

where <n> is 0, 1, 2, or 3:

   0  WordPerfect Help is off.

   1  WordPerfect Help is on.

No Insert Symbol Shortcut Keys for Some Character Sets

Article ID: Q113740

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOM

=======

Word 6.0 for Windows contains predefined shortcut keys for inserting

special characters. When you choose Symbol from the Insert menu, these

shortcut keys are displayed for any font characterized as being "normal

text" and whose character number is larger that ^0127. Any font not

characterized as being normal text does not display a shortcut key unless

the key has been manually assigned.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Normal text includes typefaces belonging to the Roman, Swiss, Modern, or

Script font families, such as Arial (Swiss) or Times New Roman (Roman).

Decorative typefaces such as Edda, Harrington, AugsBurger Initials,

WingDings, and Symbol do not display predefined shortcut keys.

You can define shortcut keys, even for fonts that do not display predefined

keys. If you assign a new shortcut key to a specific character, the

shortcut key will appear in the Symbol dialog box.

Shortcut keys are not displayed for any characters below ^0127 because the

character can be directly typed from the keyboard.

The shortcut keys that display for normal text can be used with all fonts

that don't display the shortcut keys. For example, the copyright symbol is

available through the shortcut key CTRL+ALT+C in all fonts that support it

at position ^0169. Even though no shortcut key is displayed, Decorative

fonts such as WingDings will substitute the character that is at position

^0169 when CTRL+ALT+C is pressed.

You can insert symbols in a Word document in three ways.

Method 1: Use the predefined shortcut key.

Method 2: Use the character number in combination with the ALT key. For

          example, press ALT+0190 to insert a 3/4 symbol (type the numbers

          on the numeric keypad with NUM LOCK on).

Method 3: From the Insert menu, choose Symbol. Select the desired font and

          select the symbol that you want. Choose to insert the selected

          character, then close the Symbol dialog box.

Setup Installs Converters and Filters in Unexpected Locations

Article ID: Q113742

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In some cases, the Setup program for Word 6.0 for Windows updates existing

text converters or graphic filters instead of installing the new filters in

the MSAPPS subdirectory. This frequently happens when you upgrade over an

existing installation of Word 2.x for Windows.

This only happens when you perform a standalone (non-network) installation

of Word, from a server or using the program disks. It does not happen when

you perform a network installation of Word.

CAUSE

=====

Word updates existing text or graphics filters instead of installing

them in the shared MSAPPS directory when both of the following are

true:

 - There is not an existing copy of the converter or filter in the

   MSAPPS\TEXTCONV or MSAPPS\GRPHFLT subdirectory of the Windows program

   directory.

   -and-

 - The PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file includes a directory that

   contains a file with the same name as the new text converter or graphics

   filter.

Furthermore, if you have Word 2.x on your computer and install Word 6.0 in

a different directory, Word 6.0 Setup updates all the filters and

converters in the Word 2.x directory that have the same filename as the

Word 6.0 files.

If you have a separate Word 1.x for Windows directory, Word 6.0 Setup

updates the PCX and EPS filters. In addition, Setup adds the IFFPCX.DLL,

MS.EPS, and MS.PCX files to your Word 1.x directory. Word 6.0 Setup

installs the rest of the converters and filters in the MSAPPS subdirectory,

as expected.

WORKAROUND

==========

Edit the PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to temporarily remove the

directories that contain existing converters or filters. Restart your

computer so the changes can take effect, then install Word for Windows.

After you successfully install Word, you can add these directories back to

your PATH statement. These entries do not affect the operation of Word 6.0.

Font Mapping (*.DAT) files in Word 6.0 for Windows

Article ID: Q113746

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 for Windows includes the following font mapping files. While

previous versions of Word used font mapping files for import and export,

Word 6.0 for Windows uses font mapping files for export only.

   Word for MS-DOS

     Export:  RTF_PCW.TXT

   Word for the Macintosh

     Export:  RTF_MW5.TXT

   RFT-DCA

     Export:  RTF_DCA.TXT

   WordPerfect 5.0/5.1

     Export:  RTF_WP5.TXT

   Microsoft Works for MS-DOS

     Export:  RTF_WWP.TXT

Note: The Word for MS-DOS converter and font-mapping file are included on

the Word 6.0 for Windows Supplemental File Conversion disks. The rest are

included with the Word 6.0 for Windows package.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Each of the font-mapping files is actually a self-documenting text file

located in the MSAPPS\TEXTCONV subdirectory of the Windows program

directory (for example, C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\TEXTCONV).

To use any of the files, open the file in an ASCII text editor such as

Notepad, edit the file according to the instructions it contains, rename

the file with a .DAT extension, and place the file in the same directory as

the converter (usually C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\TEXTCONV).

For a complete description of the mapping syntax, refer to the text files

listed above.

Jumping to a Bookmark Located in a Header or Footer

Article ID: Q113758

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 for Windows allows you to insert bookmarks into a document header

or footer. This functionality was not available in earlier versions of

Word. However, you can only jump to a bookmark in a document header or

footer when the header or footer pane is active.

For example, to jump to a bookmark in the document header, do the

following:

1. From the View menu, choose Header And Footer.

2. From the Edit menu, choose Bookmark.

3. Select a bookmark name and click the Go To button.

Note: Bookmarks in the header or footer pane are not listed in the Edit Go

To dialog box, regardless of where the insertion point is located.

Using WordBasic, you must open the document header or footer, check that

the bookmark exists, and then go to the bookmark using the EditBookmark

statement.

Hanging Indent Remains After Removing Bullets and Numbering

Article ID: Q113762

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you remove bullets or numbering formatting from a paragraph, sometimes

Word for Windows does not remove the associated hanging-indent formatting.

CAUSE

=====

By design, Word does not remove hanging-indent formatting if the paragraph

is in the middle of a bulleted or numbered list. Instead, Word applies a

"Skip Numbering" property, which is described below.

Word does, however, remove the hanging indent if the paragraph is at the

beginning or end of a bulleted or numbered list. In this case, Word applies

a "Stop Numbering" property.

"Skip Numbering"

----------------

If you select a bulleted or numbered paragraph in the middle of a list and

remove the bullet or number, Word applies a Skip Numbering property to that

paragraph. With Skip Numbering, Word removes the bullet or number but

retains the hanging indent formatting that was applied when you created the

bulleted or numbered list. You can use this functionality to create

multiple-paragraph bulleted or numbered items that are automatically

indented correctly. (To remove a bullet or number, select the paragraph,

and then choose the Bullets or the Numbering button on the Formatting

toolbar.)

"Stop Numbering"

----------------

On the other hand, if you select a bulleted or numbered paragraph at the

beginning or end of a list and remove the bullet or number, Word applies a

Stop Numbering property to that paragraph. With Stop Numbering, Word

removes the hanging indent formatting in addition to the bullet or number.

In other words, Stop Numbering removes all the formatting that Word applied

when you added bullets or numbering formatting.

TIP: To easily see which Skip Numbering and Stop Numbering properties Word

has applied to a paragraph, choose the Help button on the Standard toolbar.

When the pointer becomes a question mark (?), click the paragraph. Word

lists Skip Numbering and Stop Numbering under Direct Paragraph Formatting.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use the following method to remove the indent formatting as well as the

number or bullet from a paragraph in the middle of a list:

Click the right mouse button in the paragraph (use CTRL+mouse button with

Word for the Macintoshm.) From the menu that appears, choose Stop

Numbering.

Notice that for numbered lists, Word starts numbering the following

paragraph with "1". If you want continuous numbering, change the Start At

value to the correct number. (To display the Start At value, click the

right mouse button in the paragraph and, from the menu that appears, choose

Bullets And Numbering. Select the Numbered tab and then choose the Modify

button.)

Note: You cannot remove the indent formatting by clearing the Indentation

settings in the Format Paragraph dialog box. This does not remove the Skip

Numbering property, which is responsible for maintaining the hanging indent

spacing despite the indentation formatting you apply.

SYMPTOMS

========

If you set a password for a master document, close the document, and then

reopen it, Word opens the document without prompting you for

the password. Furthermore, if you open the Save Options dialog box, the

Protection Password box is empty; Word has not retained the password. (To

open the Save Options dialog box, choose Save As from the File menu and

choose the Options button.)

Note: This does not happen with a Write Reservation password. Word

prompts you for the Write Reservation password as expected.

example, if you insert a Rectangle or Ellipse as the next object, the new

object will also have no border.

Note: Setting the line style to None in the Paragraph Borders dialog box

has no effect on the border of a text box. (To locate this option, choose

Borders And Shading from the Format menu, select the Border tab, and under

Line, select None.)

How to Embed TrueType Fonts in a Word 6.0 Document

Article ID: Q113822

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 for Windows allows you to embed TrueType fonts into your Word

document so that you can view and edit the fonts (if licensing rights

allow), even if you open the document on a machine that does not have the

font installed.

To embed TrueType fonts in a saved document:

1. From the Tools menu choose Options.

2. Choose the Save tab.

3. Select the Embed TrueType Fonts checkbox.

Not all fonts are licensed so that they can be embedded. If a font can be

embedded, it will increase your document's file size by approximately the

size of the font .TTF file.

Note: Some fonts treat normal, bold, italic, and bold-italic as separate

font .TTF files. In this case, your document's file size will be larger

when using bold and italic formatting than it would be if you did not. If a

font does not have a bold, italic, or bold-italic version of the font, then

Windows will have to generate bold or italic from the core font. In this

case, your file will not grow in size when using bold or italic formatting.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Font embedding licensing rights determine how the font may be embedded in

the document.

   Font Licensed As   Result

   ----------------   ------

   Protected          The font may not be embedded, copied, or modified. If

                       a protected font is used in a document and this

                       document is opened on a machine that does not have

                       the font installed on it, a font substitution will

                       occur. Word will substitute the closest font

                       available on the machine for the missing protected

                       font.

   Print/Preview      The font is embedded and temporarily loaded on the

                       target machine. Documents containing print/preview

                       fonts must be opened read-only, and no edits can be

                       stored in the document. Embedding a font of this

                       nature will have the smallest impact on file size

                       increase.

   Editable           The font behaves just like the print/preview fonts,

                       except that you may also apply the font to other

                       text in the same document.

   Installable        The font is installed on the target machine

                       permanently when you open the document. This allows

                       you to use the new fonts as if you installed the

                       fonts directly into Windows yourself. This type of

                       embedded font will have the largest impact on file

                       size because the entire font or fonts are included

                       with the document. The size of the font file can

                       vary greatly. To estimate the font file size, do the

                       following:

                      1. In Program Manager, start Control Panel.

                      2. Choose the Fonts icon.

                      3. Select the font in question.

                      4. Read the bottom of the dialog box. The size of the

                         font on disk will be listed.

                       You can check the sizes of all of the font files you

                       use in your document. The total will give you a

                       rough idea of how much larger the file will be if

                       you embed TrueType fonts (assuming all of the fonts

                       used in your document are installable fonts).

                       NOTE: The TrueType fonts that ship with Windows 3.1

                       or Windows for Workgroups may not follow this

                       behavior since there is no need to embed the fonts.

                       (They should be available on all Windows 3.1 or

                       Windows for Workgroups machines.) Examples of these

                       fonts are Arial, Courier New, Times New Roman,

                       Symbol, and WingDings.

ToolsCalculate with Combination Cell Range and Table Bookmark

Article ID: Q113836

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOM

=======

The ToolsCalculate WordBasic command gives a WordBasic error 24 "bad

parameter" if the function form is used with both a cell reference and a

table bookmark. The example on page 747 of the "Microsoft Word Developer's

Kit" is not correct.

CAUSE

=====

The ToolsCalculate function in Microsoft WordBasic takes the form

     ToolsCalculate([Expression$])

where Expression$ takes the form of the =(Formula) field. Expression$ can

have arguments that are numbers, bookmarks, or table cells. Combinations

can also be used as arguments. However, the following example (as shown on

page 747), which specifies the use of specific cell references within two

bookmarked tables, is not a valid expression and gives a WordBasic error 24

"bad parameter":

     total = ToolsCalculate("sum(sales a5, other b5)")

This construction behaves correctly for formula fields. The following field

does yield the desired result:

     {= sum(sales a5, other b5)}

RESOLUTION

==========

The functionality of the WordBasic statement above can be simulated by

bookmarking cell a5 of the "Sales" table and cell b5 of the "Other" table

and then adding the two bookmarks (see example 3 below).

Examples

--------

The following are all valid uses of the WordBasic ToolsCalculate command.

(Note: In the following examples, "Sales" is a bookmarked table, "Units" is

a bookmarked cell whose value is 10, and "Cost" is a bookmarked number

elsewhere in the document whose value is 2.5.)

1. Total = ToolsCalculate()                Total is the sum of all the

                                           selected table cells or

                                           numbers.

2. Total = ToolsCalculate("a1 + a2")       Total is the sum of A1 and A2

                                           for the table holding the

                                           insertion point.

3. Total = ToolsCalculate("Units * Cost")  Total is 25. The insertion point

                                           position and selection are

                                           irrelevant.

4. Total = ToolsCalculate("Sales")         Total is the sum of all cells

                                           bookmarked in the table. The

                                           insertion point position and

                                           selection are irrelevant.

5. Total = ToolsCalculate("Units * 5")     Total is 50. The insertion point

                                           position and selection are

                                           irrelevant.

6. Total = ToolsCalculate("A1 * 10")       Total is 10 times the value in

                                           cell A1 of the table holding

                                           the insertion point.

7. Total = ToolsCalculate("A1 * Units")    Total is 10 times the number in

                                           cell A1 of the table holding

                                           the insertion point.

Unexpected Cursor and Selection Behavior in Split Table Row

Article ID: Q113843

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Insertion point movement and cell selection may not behave as expected when

a table containing a row that's split between pages is displayed in page

layout view.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 and 6.0a for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here

in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To return to expected behavior, display the document in normal view.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Unexpected insertion point movement and cell selection can include any or

all of the following:

1. In cells with more than one line of text, using the up and down arrow

   keys may move the insertion point to a different cell instead of a

   different position within the current cell.

2. Using the up and down arrow keys may move the insertion point to a cell

   at the left or right instead of the cell directly above or below the

   current position.

3. Clicking in the blank portion of a cell that spans multiple pages may

   select the cell at the left or right.

"Error! AutoText Entry Not Defined" or GPF with AUTOTEXT Field

Article ID: Q113869

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use an AUTOTEXT field to insert an AutoText entry into a document,

you receive a general protection (GP) fault or the following error:

   Error! AutoText entry not defined.

CAUSE

=====

This error occurs when the AutoText entry name in the AUTOTEXT field

contains more than 30 characters, which is the maximum allowed. For

example, the following AutoText name causes the above error because it

contains 32 characters:

   {AUTOTEXT supercalifragalisticexpialadocio}

NOTE: An AutoText entry name, by definition, can include up to 32

characters, but Word only allows 30 in the AUTOTEXT field.

WORKAROUND

==========

Change the AutoText entry name so it contains 30 or fewer characters.

Macro Recorder Records Number Format "None" Incorrectly

Article ID: Q113871

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you record a macro that changes the number format for Heading

Numbering or Bullets And Numbering to None, and then run that macro, Word

generates error 158:

   The value of one of the fields is too low

This error occurs when the macro contains the WordBasic command

FormatNumber or FormatHeadingNumber.

CAUSE

=====

This error occurs because the .Type argument for the FormatHeadingNumber or

FormatNumber command is incorrectly recorded as "-1" rather than "0". The

-1 is not a documented option.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Edit the macro and change the .Type argument from -1 to 0.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

--------------------------

When recording the macro, perform one of the following procedures to

reproduce the problem:

 - From the Format menu, choose Heading Numbering. Choose the Modify

   button. Under Number Format, select "(none)" in the Bullet Or Number

   list. Choose OK.

   -or-

 - From the Format menu, choose Bullets And Numbering. Select the Number

   tab. Choose the Modify button.  Under Number Format, select "(none)" in

   the Bullet Or Number list. Choose OK.

Unbalanced Columns Despite Continuous Section Break

Article ID: Q113906

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you insert a Continuous section break in a multi-column section,

Word for Windows sometimes does not balance the columns.

There are two forms of this problem:

Case 1: The last column is considerably shorter than the previous

        column(s).

        text text text text     text text text text

        text text text text     text text text text

        text text text text     ===section break===

        text text text text

        text text text text

        text text text text

        text text text text

        text text text text

        text text

Case 2: The last column is shorter than the others by several lines at

        most.

        text text text text     text text text text

        text text text text     text text text text

        text text text text     text text text text

        text text text text     text text text text

        text text text text     ===section break===

        text text text text

CAUSE

=====

Case 1 occurs when you open a file from another file format in Word.

Case 2 occurs because of Pagination paragraph formatting. (To view

Pagination formatting, choose Paragraph from the Format menu and select the

Text Flow tab.)

RESOLUTION

==========

Case 1

------

To correctly format the columns in a converted document in which one column

is much shorter than the others, use the following instructions to clear

the Don't Balance Columns for Continuous Section Starts option:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2. Select the Compatibility tab.

3. Clear the "Don't Balance Columns for Continuous Section Starts" option

   and then choose OK.

Note: If the columns remain unbalanced, you may need to use the steps below

for Case 2 as well to correct any paragraph formatting problems.

Case 2

------

Use the following instructions to correct the Pagination formatting and

correctly break the columns in your document:

1. Select the paragraphs in the section that contains the unbalanced

   columns.

2. From the Format menu, choose Paragraph.

3. Select the Text Flow tab.

4. Clear all four options in the Pagination section (Widow/Orphan Control,

   Keep Lines Together, Keep With Next, Page Break Before).

5. Choose OK.

Note: Widow/Orphan Control is selected by default. It ensures that the last

line of a paragraph isn't printed at the top of a column and that the first

line of a paragraph is never printed by itself at the bottom of a column.

This is done for ease of reading but has the effect of preventing Word from

balancing columns.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When you import a document from another file format, you will obtain

optimal results if you select the correct compatibility settings for the

file before you convert it. For example, before you open a WordPerfect

file, choose Options from the Tools menu, select the Compatibility tab, and

select WordPerfect from the Recommended Options For list.

Troubleshooting Guide: Master Document Error Messages

Article ID: Q113908

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, versions 3.1, 3.11

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you are editing a master document and its subdocuments, the following

errors may occur when you save the master document in Word for Windows:

Case 1: "Word cannot save or create this file. Make sure the disk is not

        write protected."

        -or-

        "The disk is full or too many files are open."

        The save operation will fail and sometimes one or more of

        your subdocuments may be deleted.

Case 2: "Word has insufficient memory. Do you want to save <filename> as

        RESCUE.DOC? WARNING: This operation will save all text in the

        master document, but not its structure."

CAUSE

=====

Case 1: The maximum file size and number of subdocuments in a master

        document varies depending on your computer and how much memory is

        available. Generally, a master document cannot contain more than

        20 subdocuments, even though the "Microsoft Word User's Guide"

        states on page 534 that the maximum size of the master document

        plus its subdocuments is 32 MB and 80 subdocuments.

        These limits relate directly to the number of available Windows

        file handles. The Case 1 errors occur when the supply of available

        Windows file handles is exhausted.

        When either Case 1 error occurs, Word does not complete the Save

        operation. Word begins the Save operation by renaming the

        subdocuments to temporary (.TMP) filenames, but when the Save

        operation fails, Word may not rename one or more of the subdocument

        .TMP files back to the original document name (normally, Word

        renames the .TMP files back to the original document name once the

        Save operation is complete). When you quit Word, some of the

        .TMP files may be deleted, which means some subdocuments may be

        erased.

        IMPORTANT: This problem occurs due to a Windows system file handle

        limitation. This problem may not occur in Word 6.0 for other

        operating systems, such as Word 6.0 for the Macintosh or Word 6.0

        for Windows NT.

        The following operations and conditions consume Windows file

        handles:

           Subdocuments: Each subdocument consumes two or more file

           handles.

           Editing: Each "dirty" subdocument consumes additional file

           handles for the editing and for the Undo stack.

           Links and Embedded Objects: The Case 1 errors occur frequently

           in files that contain a large number of links and embedded

           objects.

Case 2: The Case 2 error occurs if Word runs out of allotted system

        resources during the save operation. If you choose Yes, Word saves

        the contents of the document as RESCUE.DOC, but it is a normal

        Word document instead of a master document. If you choose the

        Continue button, you may have insufficient resources to save any

        of your work. If you choose No, Word closes the file and discards

        the unsaved changes.

WORKAROUND

==========

Case 1: To save your master document after the errors occur, choose Save

        As from the File menu and select Rich Text Format (RTF) in the

        File Save As Type list.

        Case 1 is partially fixed in Word 6.0c for Windows. In Word 6.0c,

        a master document may still exhaust the supply of available Windows

        file handles. However, when you save, Word 6.0c checks the number

        of available file handles as it performs the save and displays an

        error message if it cannot save the next subdocument due to

        insufficient available file handles. Word then asks if you want to

        collapse some of the subdocuments into the master document. (This

        is the same as choosing the Remove Subdocument button on the

        Master Document toolbar.) If you choose Yes, Word collapses

        subdocuments into the master document until enough file handles

        are available to save the master document and the remaining

        subdocuments. By moving the contents of some subdocuments to the

        master document, Word 6.0c prevents the loss of subdocuments

        that may occur in Word 6.0 and 6.0a.

        For information about obtaining Word 6.0c, please see the

        following article(s) in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

           ARTICLE-ID: Q120573

           TITLE     : Word 6.0c for Windows: List of Fixed Problems

Case 2: Use one of the following methods to recover your work after the

        Case 2 error occurs:

         - If you haven't made many changes in the master document, you can

           choose No when Word prompts you to save as RESCUE.DOC. You can

           then open and re-edit the previous version of the master

           document.

          -or-

         - Choose Yes to save the document as RESCUE.DOC. You can either

           reformat RESCUE.DOC as a master document, or you can use the

           text of RESCUE.DOC to re-edit the previous version of the master

           document.

        WARNING: It does not help to repeatedly try to save your document.

        In fact, repeated attempts to save the document may increase the

        likelihood of losing a subdocument. Instead, use one of the above

        workarounds to get out of the current situation, then use the

        suggestions in the "Troubleshooting" section below to avoid this

        problem in the future.

TROUBLESHOOTING

===============

Use one or more of the following suggestions to avoid these master document

problems in the future:

1. First, confirm that you are dealing with a master document limitation.

   Make sure you have sufficient hard disk space, that SHARE.EXE is

   installed and running correctly, and that you do not have a network

   rights conflict.

2. Use one or more of the following methods to decrease the number of

   subdocuments in your master document:

   a. Merge some of the subdocuments into a single subdocument.

   b. Remove the subdocument and add the text of the subdocument to the

      body of your master document.

   c. Use INCLUDE and RD (Referenced Document) fields instead of

      subdocuments.

   d. Edit the subdocuments outside the master document.

      -or-

      In the master document, edit one subdocument at a time, then

      save before you edit the next subdocument.

3. When you are working on the master document in Word, close extra windows

   to increase the available memory.

4. If you are running Word 6.0 or 6.0a, obtain the Word 6.0c upgrade.

EXPLANATION

-----------

If the subdocuments do not have headers, footers, first headers, or first

footers, the corresponding elements of the master document will appear. For

example, the first header of the subdocument is the same as the first

header of the master document.

The header of the subdocument is the same as the header of the master

document. The first footer of the subdocument is the same as the first

footer of the master document, and the footer of the subdocument is the

same as the footer of the master document.

EXPLANATION

-----------

The same basic rules apply as in example 1, except that if the subdocument

has any headers or footers, those headers or footers specific to that

subdocument take precedence over the master document headers and footers.

Any headers or footers that remain blank in the subdocument take on the

attributes of the corresponding master document header, footer, first

header, or first footer.

   page 5        page 6          page 7

EXPLANATION

-----------

In the subdocuments, the first headers are the same as the master

document's first header since the subdocuments do not have a first header.

The same is true of the subdocument's first footer.

Each of the subdocuments has a header, so the individual subdocument header

takes precedence and becomes the header for subdocument it appears in. The

subdocuments do not have footers, so the master document's footer should

appear, but it doesn't exist (and is therefore blank).

   page 5        page 6          page 7

EXPLANATION

-----------

The subdocuments do not have a first header, so the first header of the

master document should appear, but the first header doesn't exist (and is

therefore blank). The same is true of the subdocument's first footers.

Since the subdocuments have individual headers, the headers take precedence

and become the headers for the subdocuments they appear in. Since the

subdocuments do not have footers, the footer of the master document appears

in the subdocuments.

DOCUMENT DESIGN EXAMPLE 5

-------------------------

Suppose you have the document configuration shown in example 4. You might

assume that the master document acts like a "container" document, and any

blank footers in the subdocuments will get the master document's footer

whether the footers in the subdocument are footers or first footers. This

will not happen. You will get the results shown in example 4. If you have a

one-page master document and you have subdocuments with Different First

Pages and you want all of the pages to have the master document's footer,

follow these steps:

1. Create a two-page master document.

2. In the master document, select Different First Page.

3. Enter the desired headers in the first header and the header of the

   master document.

4. Enter the desired footers in the first footer and the footer of the

   master document.

5. Delete the page break in the master document, making it one page. The

   master document will show the first header and first footer information,

   but the header and footer information will still remain, even though it

   is not shown.

This is the document configuration:

Master Document:

 - Different First Page: selected

 - First Header: "master header"

 - First Footer: "master footer"

 - Header: "master header" (although there is no second page)

 - Footer: "master footer" (although there is no second page)

Subdocument 1:

 - Different First Page: selected

 - First Header: blank

 - First Footer: blank

 - Header: "SubDoc 1 header"

 - Footer: blank

Subdocument 2:

 - Different First Page: selected

   page 6        page 7          page 8

EXPLANATION

------------

Since there is no first header for the subdocument, the first header of the

master document appears in the subdocument. The first header of the master

document is not shown, but it still exists, so it becomes whatever the

first header of the master document was. The same is true of the first

footer of the master document.

Since the subdocument has a header, it takes precedence over the master

document header. Since the subdocument has no footer, the master document's

footer appears in the subdocument. The effect of the master document's

footer appearing throughout the document occurs because the master

document's first footer and footer contain the same text.

Find File Columns Widths Not Saved Between Sessions of Word

Article ID: Q113944

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The column widths in the Find File dialog box are not saved between

sessions of Word for Windows. Instead, the columns widths revert to the

default settings each time you start Word.

You can customize the widths of the File Name, Size, Author, and Last Saved

columns using the mouse. The custom column widths are used each time you

access Find File during the current session of Word.

Last Section of Document Is Protected Using INCLUDETEXT Field

Article ID: Q113963

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In a multiple-section document that contains one or more sections that are

protected for forms, Word for Windows protects the last section if it is

empty and you then insert an INCLUDETEXT field.

CAUSE

=====

Whenever you insert an INCLUDETEXT field as the only item in the last,

unprotected section of your document, Word applies the section formatting

(in this case, protection for forms) for the current section to the

INCLUDETEXT field results.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use the Unprotect command on the Tools menu to unprotect your document for

forms. Then re-protect sections of your document by choosing Protect

Document from the Tools menu, selecting the Forms option, choosing the

Sections button, and clearing the check boxes for the sections you want

unprotected.

Use one of the following methods to avoid this problem altogether:

Method 1: Type something (for example, a space or a paragraph mark)

          anywhere in the last section before you insert the INCLUDETEXT

          field.

Method 2: Create a new document, insert the INCLUDETEXT field, then copy

          and paste the field into the protected document.

Method 3: Create an AutoText entry that consists of the INCLUDETEXT field

          and then insert the field using the AutoText entry.

"BorderLineStyle 0" Does Not Remove Border

Article ID: Q113978

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In a macro that contains the BorderLineStyle command, setting the width

parameter to 0 (None) results in a border width of 3/4 points.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word versions 6.0

and 6.0a for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To remove a border using a macro, use a 0 parameter with the Border

command. For example, the following lines in a macro remove respective

borders from the paragraph they are applied to:

   BorderOutside 0

   BorderTop 0

   BorderLeft 0

MORE INFORMATION

================

If you manually set a border line style to None, and then apply the border

to a paragraph that already has a border of any width, any previously

applied border will be removed. If the border line width is set to None in

a macro using the "BorderLineStyle 0" command, the result does not remove

the existing border but replaces the existing border with a 3/4 pt. border.

Wrong Calculation Result with Bookmarks in Table

Article ID: Q113980

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A formula in Word for Windows may show an incorrect result if the

calculation refers to a bookmark in a table when the bookmark includes the

entire cell.

For example, the following table has two cells, with a bookmark applied to

the first cell:

           --------------------

          |    4     |    6    |

           --------------------

          ^--test1---^

The next paragraph contains a field that multiplies the bookmark:

          {=test1*3 }

The result of the field is 30, but it should be 12.

CAUSE

=====

When the bookmark includes the cell's boundary, it also includes

information about the number of columns, which is then included in the

calculation.

RESOLUTIONS

===========

Method 1: Apply the bookmark only to the contents of a cell, not to the

          entire cell. This method is best when you expect that the

          contents of the cells won't change, or if you only reference one

          cell from the table.

Method 2: Use the following procedure to refer to the individual cells by

          applying a bookmark anywhere in the table. This method is most

          efficient when you need to use several cells from the table.

          a. Place the insertion point somewhere in the table where a

             bookmark is unlikely to ever be deleted.

          b. From the Edit menu, choose Bookmark.

          c. Type a name for the bookmark, such as "Table1" (without the

             quotation marks).

          d. Move the insertion point to the place where you want the

             formula.

          e. Type the reference to the cell in the following format:

                sum(tablebookmarkname[cellreference])

             In the above example, the formula would look like this:

                {=sum(Table1[A1])*3}

          To add two cells from the same table, apply the bookmark only

          once, as in steps b and c, and use a formula such as the

          following:

             {=sum(Table1[A1])+sum(Table1[B1])}

Envelope or Bin Selection Problems with the HP DeskJet 1200C

Article ID: Q113981

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1, 3.11

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print a document from Word for Windows that is formatted to select

envelopes or paper from different printer bins (or paper trays), the entire

document will pull from the first bin (or paper tray) specified.

When you print a document that contains an envelope, the envelope will

print correctly, but the rest of the document will not print.

This problem occurs when printing to the Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskJet 1200C

printer, using driver (HPPCL5C.DRV) version 2.20.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To print correctly, you must set a print flag.

To Set a Print Flag

-------------------

1. From the File menu, choose Open.

2. From the Word for Windows program directory, select the MACROS

   subdirectory.

3. Under "List Files of Type," select Document Templates (*.dot).

4. Choose the MACRO60.DOT template and choose OK.

5. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

6. Select the SetPrintFlags macro and choose Run.

7. Select the "Send Mixed Pages as Multiple Print Jobs" option and choose

   OK.

8. Choose OK when the warning appears.

9. Close the MACRO60.DOT file.

To Configure the Envelope Options to Correctly Print Envelopes

--------------------------------------------------------------

1. From the Tools menu, choose Envelopes And Labels.

2. Select the Envelopes tab.

3. Choose the Options button.

4. Select the Printing Options tab.

5. Choose the Reset button to return the feed options to their default

   values.

6. Choose the Feed Method icon that matches the way the printer accepts

   envelopes. For the 1200C, this is the third option from the right (right

   feed, landscape).

7. Choose the Face Up button.

8. From the Feed From text box, select Manual Feed.

9. Choose OK.

If you send each change in paper source or orientation as a separate print

job, the documents and envelopes will now print correctly.

Heading Numbering Repeated or Missing in a Table Cell

Article ID: Q113982

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you try to number multiple heading-formatted paragraphs within a table

cell, the paragraphs may number incorrectly. This problem occurs when the

paragraphs are formatted with a heading style (for example, Heading 1) and

you try to number them by choosing Heading Numbering from the Format menu.

The numbering will not increment within the cell (that is, Word will number

everything in the first cell of the column as "1" rather than as 1, 2, 3,

and so on).

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: a. Select the text within the table to be numbered.

          b. From the Format menu, choose Bullets And Numbering.

          c. Select the Multilevel tab.

          d. Select the appropriate numbering scheme and choose OK.

Method 2: Enter one Heading Number per cell, if possible.

Method 3: Create a Heading style that corresponds to the appropriate

          numbering scheme and apply it to the text in the table cell.

Autosave Disabled for Master Documents

Article ID: Q114005

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The autosave feature does not work in master documents.

CAUSE

=====

By design, Word for Windows does not autosave master documents because the

autosave file format is not compatible with the file format of a master

document.

WORKAROUND

==========

Turn on the Always Create Backup Copy option. With this option, Word saves

the previous version of the document as a backup copy every time you save

the document. (To locate the Always Create Backup Copy option, choose

Options from the Tools menu and select the Save tab.)

Note: This workaround does not automatically save your master document, so

you should save your document frequently.

INFO: List of Word 6.0 Files Modified by Word 6.0a Patch

Article ID: Q114006

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article contains a list of the Word 6.0 for Windows files that the

Word 6.0a Patch modifies. When you update network workstation installations

of Word 6.0, you must run the patch on each workstation because some of the

files the patch modifies are shared Microsoft application files and Windows

system files. You can update only the server if all your workstations share

both Windows and Word for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Word 6.0a Patch updates the following files:

   CBTNORM.DOT         OLE 2PROX.DLL

   COMPOBJ.DLL         PCXIMP.FLT

   EQNEDIT.EXE         PLEADING.WIZ

Cannot Use Edit Replace for Finding and Replacing Symbols

Article ID: Q114007

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, the Find or Replace commands on the Edit menu may not

find or replace symbols you inserted using the Symbol command on the Insert

menu. This happens when you select anything other than Normal Text from the

Font list under the Symbols tab. In other words, Word can only find or

replace fonts based on the ANSI or ASCII character set, which are listed as

Normal Text.

The Find and Replace commands work correctly when you search for characters

you inserted from the Insert Symbol dialog box under the Special Characters

tab.

CAUSE

=====

The Find and Replace commands do not support the "protected" symbols and

special characters, which include any symbols and special characters from a

font not based on the ANSI or ASCII character set. Word lists all such

fonts separately, by name, in the Fonts list in the Insert Symbol dialog

box.

The Find and Replace commands do not find characters from non-ANSI or non-

ASCII fonts regardless of whether you type their ANSI character code or

paste the actual, formatted character in the Find What box.

WORKAROUND

==========

To find and replace "protected" symbols or special characters (that is,

characters from fonts not based on the ANSI or ASCII character set), use

the FindSymbol macro, which is supplied with Word in the MACRO60.DOT

template. Word Setup places this template in the MACROS subdirectory of the

Word program directory.

Use the following instructions to run the FindSymbol macro to find

protected symbols or special characters in the current document:

1. From the File menu, choose Template.

2. Select MACRO60.DOT, which is located in the Word MACROS subdirectory,

   and choose OK.

3. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

4. Select All Active Templates or Macro60.dot (Template) in the Macros

   Available In list.

5. In the Macro Name box, select FindSymbol, then choose the Run button.

   a. In the Find and Replace Symbols dialog box, choose the Find What

      button to select the symbol you want to find.

   b. If you want to replace the Find What character with another symbol,

      select the Replace With option and then choose the Replace With

      button to select the replacement symbol.

      -or-

      If you want to replace the Find What character with regular text,

      select the Text option and type the replacement text in the Text box.

Note: If you did not install the MACRO60.DOT template when you set up Word,

you can manually decompress the MACRO60.DO_ file from Disk 6, or you can

run Setup and select the Custom Installation option.

Header Row Not Being Recognized When Sorting a Table

Article ID: Q114009

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If a table contains a column heading name (such as "S" or "ST") that

matches the beginning of a previous column heading name (such as "STATE"),

Word for Windows sorts based on the first column ("STATE") when you sort

based on the shorter, matching name ("S" or "ST").

This only happens if the following conditions are true:

1. The data is in a table.

2. The table contains a header row.

3. The name of the Sort By column is a subset of another column heading

   name that appears to the left of the Sort By column. In other words, the

   name of the column you use as the basis for sorting is the same as the

   beginning of a previous column name.

4. The insertion point is located in the table, but nothing is selected

   when you perform the sort option.

For example, if you sort the table below based on the "ST" column, Word

uses the "STATE" column as the basis for sorting instead:

   NAME        ADDRESS        STATE       ZIP       ST

   Jill        123 Main St.   NC          54321     S

   John        P.O. Box 43    TX          76543     M

   Lyle        410 First      WA          98765     W

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Rename the column so its name does not match the beginning of a

          previous column name. In the above sample, rename "ST" to

          "STATUS".

Method 2: Separate the header row from the table by selecting the second

          row and pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER. Sort the table, and then

          rejoin the header row with the table by deleting the paragraph

          mark between them.

Method 3: If the document is a mail merge data source, use the Sort

          Ascending or Sort Descending buttons on the Mail Merge toolbar to

          perform the sort operation. You do not need to select the column;

          you need only position the insertion point in the column upon

          which you want to base the sort.

Method 4: Select the column before you perform the sort operation.

Article ID: Q114026

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print from Word for Windows to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskJet 310

Portable printer, a general protection (GP) fault may occur if the

Background Printing option is selected. (To locate the Background Printing

option, choose Options from the Tools menu and select the Print tab.)

CAUSE

=====

The HP DeskJet 310 driver (DESKJETP.DRV) is incompatible with the

Background Printing option in Word. By default, the Background Printing

option is turned on for this printer in Word 6.0.

Note: In Word 6.0 and 6.0a, Background Printing is turned on for the

HPDSKJET.DRV (versions 2.0 and 2.1), DJ500C.DRV (versions 2.0 and 2.1), and

DESKJET.DRV (versions 3.0 and 3.1), so similar problems may occur when you

print to the HP DeskJet, DeskJet 500, DeskJet 500C, and DeskJet 550C

printers. For more information about background printing problems with

these printers, query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge

Base:

   troubleshooting and deskjet and 500c and gpf and background and 6.00

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. This

problem was corrected in version 6.0a of Word for Windows. In Word 6.0a,

the Background Printing option is turned off and disabled when you are

using the DeskJet 310 Portable printer driver (DESKJETP.DRV). For

information on obtaining Word 6.0a, see the "How To Obtain Word 6.0a"

section at the bottom of this article.

Note: Background printing is also disabled for the DESKJETC.DRV printer

driver in both Word 6.0 and 6.0a.

WORKAROUND

==========

To print on the HP DeskJet 310 Portable printer from Word 6.0, use the

following instructions to turn off the Background Printing option:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2. Select the Print tab.

3. Clear the Background Printing option, and then choose OK.

"Keep Lines Together" Has No Effect in Tables

Article ID: Q114093

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, Keep Lines Together formatting does not work for

paragraphs within a table if "Allow Row to Break Across Pages" is also

selected. (To locate the "Allow Row to Break Across Pages" option, choose

Cell Height And Width from the Table menu.)

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 and 6.0a for

Bookmark in Table Cell Grows When New Row Added

Article ID: Q114113

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

With the insertion point in the last cell of a table, when you press the

TAB key to open a new row, a bookmark in the last cell expands to include

the last cell of the new row. This occurs when a bookmark contains the cell

indicator of the last cell. It does not occur if the bookmark is not in the

last cell, nor does it occur if the bookmark does not include the table

cell indicator.

CAUSE

=====

By design in Word, a bookmark in a table is stored by column number, not by

row number, if the bookmark contains the cell indicator. Therefore, if you

bookmark an entire cell that is the last cell of a table, the bookmark

expands when you open a new row. The end marker for the bookmark then

resides in the new row in the appropriate (that is, the last) column.

Note: To view bookmarks, choose Options from the Tools menu, select the

View tab, and select the Bookmarks check box under Show.

WORKAROUND

==========

Redefine the bookmark in the last cell of the table so that the bookmark

does not include the cell marker.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

--------------------------

1. Turn on Bookmark view (see "Note" above).

2. Insert a 2 x 2 table.

3. Select the last cell of the table (including the cell marker).*

4. From the Edit menu, choose Bookmark.

5. Type "test" and choose the Add button.

6. Press the TAB key to create a new table row.

      *Note: You can select an entire cell by choosing Bookmark from the

      Edit menu, typing "\Cell" (without the quotation marks) in the

      Bookmark Name box, and choosing the GoTo button. Then name the

      bookmark and choose the Add button.

Notice that the beginning bookmark marker "[" is in row 2, column 2, and

the end bookmark marker "]" is in row 3, column 2.

Merged Table Cell References Differ Between Word 2.x and 6.0

Article ID: Q114114

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you merge table cells, Word 6.0 for Windows references the merged

cells differently in relation to the table than do earlier versions of

Word. This may cause unexpected results in Word 6.0 when you use formulas

such as =SUM(ABOVE) in tables you created in Word 2.x.

CAUSE

=====

By design, Word 6.0 renumbers the cells in the entire table row when you

merge one or more cells in that row. For example, if you merge cells A2 and

B2, Word renumbers the row so cell C2 becomes B2, as shown in the following

example:

   ----------------------

   |  A1  |  B1  |  C1  |

   ----------------------

   |      A2     |  B2  |   -----> Word 6.0 omits cell C2

   ----------------------

   |  A3  |  B3  |  C3  |

   ----------------------

By contrast, Word 2.x (which uses relative cell references) retains the

original cell references and does not renumber the cells in the row when

you merge cells in that row. When you merge table cells in Word 2.x, Word

treats the merged cell references as "hidden." In the following example, in

which cells R2C1 and R2C2 are merged, notice that the table no longer

includes cell R2C2:

   ----------------------

   | R1C1 | R1C2 | R1C3 |

   ----------------------

   |     R2C1    | R2C3 |   -----> Word 2.x skips cell R2C2

   ----------------------

   | R3C1 | R3C2 | R3C3 |

   ----------------------

In Word 6.0, when you open a Word 2.x document or template that contains

merged table cells, Word 6.0 maintains the cell references, so a table

calculation in a converted document may yield different results than one in

a table you originally created in Word 6.0.

For example, if you open the Word 2.x table shown above in Word 6.0, Word

6.0 numbers the table cells as follows (notice that cell B2 is missing in

the Word 2.x table):

   ----------------------

   |  A1  |  B1  |  C1  |

   ----------------------

   |      A2     |  C2  |   -----> Word 6.0 skips cell B2 in

   ----------------------          converted Word 2.x table

   |  A3  |  B3  |  C3  |

   ----------------------

As a result, formulas such as =SUM(ABOVE) or =SUM(BELOW) use different

cells to calculate the result, depending on which version of Word you used

to create the table. For example, in Word 6.0, if you insert the following

formula in cell B3 of one table you created in Word 2.x and in cell B3 of

another table you created in Word 6.0

   {= SUM(ABOVE)}

then Word sums cells B1 and B2 in the Word 6.0 table, but Word sums B1 only

in the Word 2.x table. In other words, in the Word 2.x table, cell B2 is

"hidden," so Word 6.0 does not include it in the calculation.

TIP: To see which cells Word includes in a specific column, position the

insertion point in a cell, then choose Select Column from the Table menu.

Invoice Template

----------------

The Invoice template (INVOICE.DOT), supplied with Word 6.0, contains a

converted Word 2.x table. The last row of the table contains two cells (A12

and D12), but the first cell was created by merging three cells together

(cells A12, B12, and C12). The last formula in the table references cells

in column D, which is the second column in this table. If the table had

been created originally in Word 6.0, the formula would reference column B.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: In tables that contain merged cells in which relative formulas

          such as =SUM(ABOVE) do not yield correct results, use specific

          cell references in the formula instead. For example, use =B1+A2.

          For large groups of cells, refer to specific cell ranges; for

          example, use =SUM(B1:B4,A5,B6:B8).

Method 2: Select the cells you want to use in a formula and assign a

          bookmark to the selection using the Bookmark command on the Edit

          menu. Then use the bookmark name in the formula. For example,

          use =SUM(BookmarkName).

CTRL+Q Turns On All the Toolbars in Legal DEMO.DOT

Article ID: Q114116

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you press CTRL+Q after you install the demo disk from the Word 6.0 Legal

Resource Kit, Word for Windows turns on all the toolbars instead of

resetting the paragraph formatting of the current selection.

In other words, CTRL+Q runs the MoreToolbars macro instead of the ResetPara

macro.

CAUSE

=====

When you install the demo disk from the Word 6.0 Legal Resource Kit, it

places the DEMO.DOT template in the STARTUP subdirectory of your Word

program directory (WINWORD by default). This means Word loads the template

as an add-in each time you start Word, and the template features are

available globally.

The DEMO.DOT template reassigns the CTRL+Q key combination to the

MoreToolbars macro, which turns on all the toolbars.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Use the following instructions to remove DEMO.DOT from the Global

          Templates and Add-ins list:

          a. From the File menu, choose Template.

          b. Clear the check box next to DEMO.DOT in the Global Templates

             and Add-ins box and then choose OK.

Method 2: Reassign CTRL+Q to the ResetPara command using the following

          instructions:

          a. From the Tools menu, choose Customize, and select the

             Keyboard tab.

          b. Select All Commands in the Categories box.

          c. Select ResetPara in the Commands box.

          d. Position the insertion point in the Press New Shortcut Key

             box and press CTRL+Q. (Notice that MoreToolbars appears under

             Currently Assigned To.)

          e. Select Normal.dot in the Save Changes In list.

          f. Choose the Assign button, and then choose the Close button.

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In a master document, Word for Windows does not display subdocument heading

numbering.

Word displays the heading numbering if you open the subdocument as a

separate document, but when it is part of a master document, Word does not

display subdocument-level heading numbering.

CAUSE

=====

Word attaches the heading numbering format to the heading style. In a

master document, the style definition of the master document overrides that

of the subdocument, so if you do not apply heading numbering in the master

document, it does not apply to any of the subdocuments either.

The same is true for all styles that exist in both the subdocument and

master document: the style in the master document has priority over the

same-name style in the subdocument. For example, if the Normal style in

your subdocument contains Arial font formatting and the Normal style in

your master document contains Times New Roman, Word formats the subdocument

for Times New Roman when it is part of a master document.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Apply heading numbering for subdocuments from within the master document.

Cannot Find WORDCBT.CBT Error When Using Quick Preview

Article ID: Q114179

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0 and 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word generates the following error message when you choose Quick Preview

from the Help menu:

   Word cannot find the file WORDCBT.CBT

CAUSE

=====

The problem may occur because you changed the location of the WORDCBT.CBT

file from the installed directory but did not change the path to the file

in the WINWORD6.INI file.

On a network, this error will occur if a universal naming convention (UNC),

is used to specify the CBT location.

RESOLUTION

==========

Method 1: The Word 6.0 for Windows tutorial files are placed in the

          <WINWORD>\WORDCBT subdirectory during setup. You can move the

          files to another location, but the reference contained in the

          WINWORD6.INI file must be changed to correspond to the new

          location. To change this reference, do the following:

          a. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

          b. Select the File Locations tab.

          c. Under File Types, select Tutorial. Choose the Modify button.

          d. Select the new location or choose the New button to create

             the new location and choose OK.

Method 2: Use a text editor to add or update the CBT-PATH statement in the

          [Microsoft Word] section of the WINWORD6.INI file to reflect the

          correct path, as in the following example:

             [Microsoft Word]

             CBT-PATH=C:\WORDCBT

Method 3 (On a Network):

          1. From the Tools menu choose Options.

          2. Choose the File Locations tab.

          3. Select Tutorial and choose the Modify key.

          4. Choose the server location from the Drives pull-down list box

             or use the Network button to connect to the server. Choose OK.

Word Count Does Not Count Spaces

Article ID: Q114180

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 --------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Word for Windows, when you use the Word Count command on the Tools menu,

the result for characters does not include the number of spaces and tabs in

your document.

If you choose Summary Info from the File menu and select the Statistics

button, the result for characters also doesn't include spaces and tabs.

The character count feature includes alphabetic and numeric characters

including punctuation marks and special symbols, such as periods and

commas, but excludes spaces and tabs.

WORKAROUND

==========

The following macro counts all the characters in the document including

spaces and tabs.

GP Fault Using Word with Random House Webster's Dictionary

Article ID: Q114203

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

WordPerfect Technical Support has confirmed that you may receive a general

protection (GP) fault in Word for Windows when you try to use Random House

Webster's Dictionary version 1.0 for Windows.

CAUSE

=====

Webster's Dictionary.

STATUS

======

WordPerfect is working on an update to correct this conflict. For more

information on this problem, please contact WordPerfect Technical Support

at (800) 228-1029.

RESOLUTION

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2. Select the View tab.

Table-to-Text Conversion Inserts Comma Plus Space

Article ID: Q114205

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word, if you convert a table to text and select the Commas separator

option, the result includes a space after the comma. (To locate the

separator options, select your table and choose "Convert Table to Text"

from the Table menu.)

STATUS

======

In earlier versions of Word for Windows, a space after the comma causes

problems when you try to use the delimited data for a print merge. By

design, Word 6.0 mail merge accepts the comma-plus-space delimiter.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Although Word places a space after each comma delimiter during the

table-to-text conversion, these extra spaces do not pose a problem in a

Word 6.0 for Windows mail merge because Word ignores the extra spaces. When

you convert the text back to a table, the spaces are eliminated and are no

longer part of the fields.

If you prefer to convert your tables to text without the added space after

the comma, choose the Other option under Separate Text With, type in a

comma (or other separator character) and choose OK.

Case of Form Field Text Won't Change from Uppercase

Article ID: Q114206

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word, if you specify that form field text be uppercase (or title case)

by default and then change your default text format to first capital, the

form field text remains in uppercase (or title case). This problem does not

occur if you first format the form field text as lowercase. (To locate the

text format options, choose Form Field from the Insert menu, select the

Text option, then choose the Options button.)

CAUSE

=====

This behavior is by design. The title case and uppercase options format the

text so that the first letter of the text string is capitalized. Since text

formatted with uppercase or title case already has the first character

capitalized, changing the formatting to first capital has no effect.

WORKAROUND

==========

If your form field text is currently formatted as uppercase or title case,

change the default text format to lowercase before choosing first capital

as the text format.

What "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" Means

Article ID: Q114222

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft TrueType Font Assistant version 1.1

 - Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0 and 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The phrase "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" appears in Microsoft TrueType Font

Assistant for each example of the fonts available. This phrase has the

appearance of an intelligent Latin idiom. Actually, it's nonsense.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Although the phrase is nonsense, it does have a long history. The phrase

has been used for several centuries by typographers to show the most

distinctive features of their fonts. It's used because the letters involved

and the letter spacing in those combinations, reveal at their best, the

weight, design, and other important features of the typeface.

A 1994 issue of "Before & After" magazine traces "Lorem ipsum" to a jumbled

Latin version of a passage from de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum, a treatise

on the theory of ethics written by Cicero in 45 BC. The passage "Lorem

ipsum" is taken from text that reads, "Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem

ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit...," which

translates as, "There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it

and wants to have it, simply because it is pain...."

During the 1500s, a printer adapted Cicero's text to develop a page of type

samples. Since then, the Latin-like text has been the printing industry's

standard for fake, or dummy, text. Before electronic publishing, graphic

designers had to mock up layouts by drawing in squiggled lines to indicate

text. The advent of self-adhesive sheets preprinted with "Lorem ipsum" gave

a more realistic way to indicate where text would go on a page.

Smart Quotes in Data Source Appear in Mail Merge

Article ID: Q114223

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you have the "Change 'Straight Quotes' to 'Smart Quotes'" option

selected and you create a comma-delimited data source for Mail Merge, all

fields but the first field will print with the closing (ending) smart quote

showing. (To locate the "Change 'Straight Quotes'..." option, choose

AutoCorrect from the Tools menu.)

This problem occurs only if you've created the data source manually in Word

and the "Change 'Straight Quotes'..." option is selected. This will not

occur if you use Mail Merge Helper to create the data file.

CAUSE

=====

When smart quotes are used, Word places opening (beginning) smart quotes

only after white space (a normal or nonbreaking space, a tab, or a

paragraph mark). Word will not insert opening smart quotes immediately

after a comma. Instead, Word inserts a closing smart quote after each

comma. This restriction causes all the closing smart quotes that are not

paired with a preceding opening smart quote, to be considered part of the

data and, therefore, to be printed.

WORKAROUND

==========

Do not use smart quotes when you manually create a data source in Word. To

eliminate smart quotes with an existing data source document, do the

following:

1. From the Tools menu, choose AutoCorrect.

2. Clear the "Change 'Straight Quotes' to 'Smart Quotes'" check box and

   choose OK.

3. From the Edit menu, choose Replace.

4. In the Find text box, type ^0148.

5. In the Replace With text box, type ", and choose Replace All.

6. In the Find Text box, type ^0147.

7. In the Replace With text box, type ", and choose Replace All.

Converters, Filters, Data Access Not Uninstalled but Checked

Article ID: Q114224

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you use Word Setup to remove Word or to remove the Converters, Filters,

and Data Access from your system, and then you use Setup to reinstall, the

check box for Converters, Filters, and Data Access appears selected, even

though Text Conversion Filters and Graphic Import Filters are not

installed.

CAUSE

=====

By design in Word, when you uninstall Word Converters, Filters, and Data

Access using Word Setup, Setup will not remove the ODBC drivers.

Because the ODBC drivers are not removed, when you reinstall, the initial

screen shows the option for Converters, Filters, and Data Access as already

installed. If you choose the Change Options button, you will see that the

Text Converters, Graphics Filters, and Data Access [ODBC] options are not

selected, and only ODBC is selected.

RESOLUTION

==========

1. Run Word Setup.

2. Choose the Add/Remove button.

3. Select the Converters, Filters, and Data Access option, and then choose

   the Change Option button.

4. Select the Text Converters and Graphic Filters check boxes and choose

   the OK button.

5. Choose the Continue button to complete the reinstall.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following is the list of ODBC files installed by Word that are not

removed when an uninstall is done:

"Subscript Out of Range" Error Running BatchConversion Macro

Article ID: Q114236

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run the BatchConversion macro, supplied with Word for Windows as

part of the CONVERT.DOT template file, the following error occurs if you

try to convert more than 500 files:

   WordBasic Err=9

   Subscript Out of Range

CAUSE

=====

The BatchConversion macro defines a 500-item static array that contains the

names of the files in the source directory that you want to convert. The

array cannot accommodate more than 500 files, so the error occurs if the

number of files in the source directory exceeds that limit.

WORKAROUND

==========

Method 1: Do not specify a source directory that contains more than a total

          of 500 of any type of file. If you have more than 500 files, move

          them to separate directories in groups of 500 or less.

Method 2: Remove the 500-file limit by modifying the BatchConversion macro

          using the instructions below.

          WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS

          AT YOUR OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is"

          without warranty of any kind, either express or implied,

          including but not limited to the implied warranties of

          merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

          a. Open the CONVERT.DOT template file in Word. This template is

             located in the MACROS subdirectory of your Word program

             directory (by default, WINWORD\MACROS).

          b. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

          c. Select BatchConversion from the Macro Name list, and then

             choose the Edit button.

          d. From the Edit menu, choose Find.

          e. In the Find What box, type "Redim Temp$(500)" (without the

             quotation marks) and then choose the Find Next button.

          f. Choose the Close button in the Edit Find dialog box.

          g. In the "Redim Temp$(500)" string, change 500 to the number of

             files you want to convert. For example, to convert 750 files,

             change the string to "Redim Temp$(750)".

          h. Close the macro editing window. Choose Yes when Word prompts

             you to save the changes to the BatchConversion macro.

          i. Close CONVERT.DOT. Choose Yes when Word prompts you to save

             changes.

REF Field Creates Duplicate Drop-Down List in Protected Form

Article ID: Q114237

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you use a REF field to reference a drop-down list (FORMDROPDOWN field)

in a document that is protected for forms, the REF field result is a

duplicate of the drop-down list.

Furthermore, if you click the REF field or press the LEFT ARROW key, Word

activates the field. You can select a name from the drop-down list, and

Word changes the results of the REF field. This happens if the REF field is

located in a protected section of the document; it does not happen if the

REF field is located in an unprotected section of the document.

Note: You cannot activate the drop-down list in a protected REF field

by pressing TAB or by pressing any other arrow key.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Insert a continuous section break before and after the REF field. Do not

protect this section of your document for forms.

Drawing Toolbar Palettes Don't Contain All Supported Colors

Article ID: Q114238

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Regardless of the color capabilities of your video card and driver, Word

for Windows displays a maximum of 16 colors in the Fill Color and Line

Color palettes on the Drawing toolbar. The remaining boxes in the palette

are dithered gray.

CAUSE

=====

The picture editor in Word does not support the extended, or "true color,"

capabilities available in many video cards. Word supports up to 16 colors

as long as your video card also supports these colors.

Word supports the 16 colors defined for the Color argument of the CharColor

WordBasic statement. To display this list of 16 colors, see the "CharColor,

CharColor()" topic in online WordBasic Help. (To display this topic, choose

Contents from the Help menu and select the "Programming with Microsoft

Word" topic. Select the "Statements and Functions Index" topic, choose the

C button, and then select the "CharColor, CharColor()" topic.)

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Custom Caption Labels Not Stored with Document

Article ID: Q114281

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows versions 6.0 and 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you define a custom caption label for a document and then delete or

rename your NORMAL.DOT template or open the document on another computer,

Word for Windows does not display the custom caption names in the Insert

Caption dialog box. As a result, you must redefine the custom caption label

if you want to insert additional captions in your Word document.

This problem does not affect the three default caption labels (Figure,

Equation, and Table), which are part of the Word program, not part of the

Normal template.

CAUSE

=====

Even though custom captions are document-specific information, Word stores

the custom caption label in your Normal template (NORMAL.DOT). Therefore,

if that template is not available, Word has no record of the custom caption

labels.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

White on Black Graphic Prints Incorrectly to Canon LBP-4

Article ID: Q114283

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1, 3.11

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 or 6.0a, if you print a document containing a white drawing

object placed on top of a black object to a Hewlett-Packard PaintJet, a

Canon LBP-4, or Canon LBP-4 Plus printer, the drawing will print as if the

black object is on top (obscuring part of the white object).

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Format the top, white object with a color other than white.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Microsoft tested this situation using version 3.09 of the LBP driver

(LBPIII.DRV) and version 1.65 of the generic driver (GENDRV.DLL).

Reverse video (white text on a black background) prints correctly.

Setting Print Flags using the SetPrintFlags macro had no effect on

the problem.

The Canon products included here are manufactured by vendors independent of

Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these

products' performance or reliability.

Limiting the Amount of Text in a Macro Combo Box or Text Box

Article ID: Q114298

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

If you create a custom dialog box, you can specify a limit to the amount of

text that can be entered into a combo box or text box by using SendMessage

(a Windows API function) with the EM_LIMITTEXT constant.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The preferred way to limit the length of a string entered into a combo or

text box is to use the SendMessage API function call. After you set the

focus to the desired edit control, you must send a message to the window's

message queue that will reset the text limit for the control. The argument

EM_LIMITTEXT, as the second parameter to SendMessage, will set the desired

text limit based on the value specified by the third argument. The

SendMessage function requires the following parameters for setting the text

limit

   SendMessage Lib "User"(hWnd As Integer, wMsg As Integer, wParam As

   Integer, lParam As String) As Long

Creating a Password-Style Macro Dialog Text Box

Article ID: Q114299

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Word 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows, there is no intrinsic setting for a

password-style edit control. However, you can generate code to perform this

function using the existing edit control. To create a dialog that prompts

for a password, use SendMessage (Windows API function call) with the

constant of EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following example demonstrates how to design a text box that will

accept a user's password as input. It displays an asterisk (*) for each

character entered.

Use the SendMessage API function call to create this dialog. After you set

the focus to the desired edit control, you must send a message to the

window's message queue that will reset the displayed character for the

control. The argument EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR, as the second parameter to

SendMessage, sets the desired text character to display based on the value

specified by the third argument.

The SendMessage function requires the following parameters for setting the

password Character

   SendMessage Lib "User"(hWnd As Integer, wMsg As Integer, wParam As

   Integer, lParam As String) As Long

where:

   hWnd    Specifies the handle to the edit control.

   wMsg    Specifies the window's message.

   wParam  Specifies the password character to display.

   lParam  Is not used.

Cannot Undo Because Undo List Is Empty

Article ID: Q114305

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Sometimes you cannot reverse changes you make in a Word for Windows

document because the Undo list is empty.

CAUSE

=====

Below is a list of certain Word operations that clear the Undo list. When

this happens, you can no longer undo any previous operations.

 - Word autosaves a Word version 2.x for Windows document.

 - You run the AutoFormat command, and then choose the Reject All button.

 - You change a normal Word document into a mail merge main document using

   the Mail Merge command on the Tools menu.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and

6.0a for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes

available.

Inserting Database in Word Document Does Not Retain Pictures

Article ID: Q114306

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you insert a Microsoft Access or Microsoft FoxPro database in a

document, no pictures in the database appear in Word for Windows. (To

insert a database in Word, use the Database command on the Insert menu or

choose Mail Merge from the Tools menu and then choose the Get Data button.)

When you use DDE (dynamic data exchange) to insert the database, the

following error message appears in Word in place of the picture:

   Long binary or text value.

When you use ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) to insert the database, the

picture area is blank in Word, and no error message appears.

Note: This problem can occur with any database application that interfaces

via DDE with the Word mail merge or database features.

CAUSE

=====

Neither DDE nor the implementation of ODBC in Word 6.0 support the long

binary format used to store pictures in a database.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Saving the Microsoft Access or Microsoft FoxPro database in a different

file format, including RTF (rich text format), does not retain the database

pictures, so you cannot use RTF as a workaround.

See page 677 in the "Microsoft Word User's Guide" for information on

selecting DDE or ODBC as the conversion method.

GP Fault Using OLE Automation to Control Word 6.0

Article ID: Q114390

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you use OLE Automation to control Word 6.0 for Windows from another

application or programming language--such as Microsoft Excel and Visual

Basic for Applications or Visual Basic--a general protection (GP) fault may

occur in Word. The GP fault occurs when the programming code commands Word

to perform repeated commands, such as a command that exists within a

For/Next or While/Wend loop.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 for Windows. This

problem was corrected in Word 6.0a for Windows. For information on

obtaining Word 6.0a, see the "How To Obtain Word 6.0a" section at the

bottom of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

================

OLE Automation is a way for applications and programs to control another

application and use its functionality. Similar to dynamic data exchange

(DDE), OLE Automation allows a programmer to gain access to another

application's objects that have been "exposed" to OLE Automation. In the

case of Word 6.0 for Windows, the WordBasic object has been exposed to OLE

Automation, meaning that another application that uses OLE Automation can

gain access to Word's functionality through the WordBasic macro language.

Note that Word 6.0 for Windows does not support using OLE Automation from

within WordBasic. To control other applications from within WordBasic, use

the WordBasic DDE commands.

Here is a short example of an OLE Automation routine that might be used in

Visual Basic or Visual Basic for Applications program to insert the word

"Hello" ten times down the page in the active Word 6.0 document:

Sub Repeat()

  Dim WordObj As Object

  Set WordObj = CreateObject("Word.Basic")

  For x = 1 To 10

    WordObj.Insert "Hello"

    WordObj.InsertPara

  Next

End Sub

Pressing BACKSPACE in WinWord Document Causes GP Fault

Article ID: Q114392

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you press BACKSPACE many times in a document to delete text, Word for

Windows may hang (stop responding), and the following error message occurs:

   Application Error: WINWORD caused a General Protection Fault in

   module WINWORD.EXE at 00DE:4137

CAUSE

=====

The general protection (GP) fault occurs if your document contains a

bookmark at the beginning of the document. The problem is unrelated to any

file format conversion you may have performed in Word.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows versions

6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will

post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes

available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Method 1: To avoid this problem, use one of the following alternative

          methods to delete large amounts of text from your Word documents:

          a. Select the text, then choose Cut from the Edit menu.

             -or-

          b. Select the text, then press DELETE.

Method 2: Delete the bookmark at the beginning of the document.

          If you need a bookmark at the beginning of your document, use the

          predefined (built-in) \StartOfDoc bookmark instead. Use the

          following instructions to delete a bookmark that you added to the

          beginning of your document:

         a. Press CTRL+HOME to go to the beginning of your document.

         b. From the Edit menu, choose Bookmark.

         c. From the Bookmark Name list, select the bookmark at the

            beginning of your document (it may already be selected).

         d. Choose the Delete button, and then choose the Close button.

For more information about predefined bookmarks in Word, see pages 60-61

and 826-828 in the "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit."

IMPORTANT: The standard troubleshooting steps for repairing a damaged or

corrupt document do not work in documents that experience the problem

described in this article. This means you cannot resolve this problem by

saving the document in rich text format (RTF) or by copying and pasting

everything except the last paragraph mark into a new document.

Word Prompts to Select Header Delimiter Opening Header File

Article ID: Q114393

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you open a header file using the Mail Merge command, Word for Windows

prompts you to select the Header Record Delimiter.

CAUSE

=====

By design, when Word reads a mail merge header or data document that

contains only one line, Word prompts you to select the record delimiter. In

a mail merge data or header document that contains at least two lines, Word

compares the two lines and, if both lines contain the same number of a

single delimiter, Word does not prompt you to select the delimiter.

WORKAROUND

==========

To avoid being prompted, create a header document that contains two records

that use the same delimiter. For example:

   Name,Address,City,State,Zip

   Name,Address,City,State,Zip

-or-

   Name,Address,City,State,Zip

   ,,,,

When the file contains two or more lines, Word compares the number of

delimiters in the first and second lines. If both lines contain the same

number of delimiters, Word does not prompt you to select the delimiter.

Note: Word uses only the first record as the header record.

MORE INFORMATION

================

If your data document contains any identical records, the Header Record

Delimiter dialog box appears after you have selected the data document.

This dialog box does not appear if your data document contains only

dissimilar records.

Word 6.0 Setup Does Not Delete Equation Editor 2.0a Files

Article ID: Q114394

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Equation Editor, versions 2.0, 2.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you use the Word 6.0a for Windows Patch to upgrade from Word 6.0 to Word

6.0a, then use the Word 6.0 Setup program to remove Microsoft Equation

Editor, Setup does not remove the Equation Editor files. Setup does,

however, remove the Equation Editor entries from your Windows Registration

database (REG.DAT). As a result, Equation Editor no longer appears in your

Insert Object dialog box, even though the files are still located in the

<WINDOWS>\MSAPPS subdirectory.

Note: This only happens when you use the Word 6.0a Patch to upgrade to Word

6.0a. It does not happen if you run Setup using the full Word 6.0a disk

set.

CAUSE

=====

The Word 6.0a Patch upgrades your Equation Editor 2.0 installation to

Equation Editor 2.0a. By design, the Word Setup program never uninstalls a

component that it did not install or that it cannot reinstall. In this

case, the Equation Editor 2.0a files have a file date later than the files

shipped with Word 6.0, so the Word 6.0 Setup program cannot remove Equation

editor 2.0a.

Even though Setup cannot remove the Equation Editor 2.0a files from your

computer, it does remove the Equation Editor registration from your REG.DAT

file. As a result, Setup disables Equation Editor 2.0a, even though it does

not remove the files.

WORKAROUND

==========

To completely remove the Equation Editor after you use Word Setup to

uninstall the application, delete the <WINDOWS>\MSAPPS\EQNEDIT subdirectory

(where <WINDOWS> is your Windows program directory).

Later, if you want to reinstall Equation Editor, use Word 6.0 Setup to add

Equation Editor 2.0, then rerun the Word 6.0a Patch to upgrade to Equation

Editor 2.0a.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word Setup does not remove a component that it did not install; this

includes a later version of an installed component, such as Equation Editor

2.0a. This prevents Setup from removing a later version of a shared

application that you installed as part of a different Microsoft application

such as Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0.

When you uninstall Equation Editor using Word 6.0 Setup, Setup removes the

following line from your REG.DAT file (this line comes from the

EQNEDIT2.REG file):

   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00021700-0000-0000-C000-

   000000000046}\Conversion\Readwriteable\Main = Equation,1

Cannot Open TABLE.XLS Included with Word Resource Kit

Article ID: Q114396

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Excel, version 5.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you follow the instructions in step 2 on page 21 in the "Microsoft Word

6.0 for Windows Resource Kit" and open the TABLE.XLS file in Microsoft

Excel 5.0, the following error message occurs:

   File format no longer supported

Note: TABLE.XLS is supplied with the "Microsoft Word 6.0 for Windows

Resource Kit," on Disk 1.

CAUSE

=====

Microsoft mistakenly created the TABLE.XLS file in a pre-release build of

Microsoft Excel 5.0. As a result, you cannot open TABLE.XLS in any retail

version of Microsoft Excel.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To complete the exercise on page 21 of the "Resource Kit," open another

Microsoft Excel 5.0 worksheet instead. For example, open

C:\EXCEL\EXCELCBT\ART.XLS instead (where C:\EXCEL is your Microsoft Excel

program directory).

Footer Does Not Print on HP DeskJet 500-Series Printer

Article ID: Q114429

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print a document that contains a footer to a Hewlett-Packard (HP)

DeskJet 500 series printer (that is, HP DeskJet 500, 500C, 520, 550C, or

560C), the footer may not print, even though Word for Windows displays the

footer correctly in print preview.

CAUSE

=====

When you use the DJ500C.DRV printer driver supplied with Windows 3.1 by HP,

or any of the DESKJETC.DRV (versions 3.1, 4.0, 4.1, 5.0) printer drivers

from HP for the DeskJet 500 series printers, the bottom unprintable region

is .67 inch. In Word, the default setting for the footer is .5 inch from

the bottom edge of the paper. Therefore, Word sets the footer to print in

the unprintable bottom region for this printer driver.

WORKAROUND

==========

Method 1: Obtain the DESKJETC.DRV printer driver version 4.0 or later from

          HP and change the configuration settings of the driver.  To

          obtain an updated HP driver, contact the Hewlett-Packard

          Fulfillment Center at (303) 353-7650 or Hewlett-Packard Technical

          Support at (208) 323-2551.

          Note: The following information has been copied from the

          README.TXT file that ships with the DESKJETC.DRV printer driver.

          The minimum margins using the HP DeskJet 500 Series printer

          driver is 0.33 in. top and 0.67 in. bottom margins for all

          printing modes. Previous versions of this printer driver had

          minimum margins of 0.5 in. for both top and bottom margins. You

          may need to reformat documents created for previous versions of

          this driver or restore the printer margins to the settings used

          in previous versions of this driver.

          To use the same print region as previous versions of the HP

          DeskJet Series printer drivers, check the "Print Region" check

          box in the INI Configuration program. For instructions on using

          the INI Configuration program, see the section on INI file

          modification in this file.

          Note: With this change, text on printed pages containing color

          will be shifted up from what you see on your screen.

          The printable area on a page using the HP DeskJet 500 Series

          printer driver differs from the printable area allowed by DOS

          applications.

          INI FILE MODIFICATIONS:

          CAUTION: Do not change any settings in your *.INI files unless

          specifically instructed to in this README.TXT to resolve an

          application or printing  problem. Changes to *.INI files may

          adversely affect your printing system.

          For some application problems, the solution may involve modifying

          your DESKJETC.INI, WIN.INI, or MSPUB.INI file. The HPVCNFIG.EXE

          file located in your WINDOWS or WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory provides

          an easy method for modifying control values in your *.INI files.

          To modify your INI files, do the following steps

          1. Run the HPVCNFIG.EXE file from the Program Manager or File

             Manager.

          A dialog box will be displayed with a list of check boxes.

          2. Check the check box specified in the software application note

             for your application problem.

          3. Click the OK Button.

          The HPVCNFIG configuration file will modify the appropriate

          control values in your *.INI files.

          Note: You must reboot Windows for the changes you have made to

          take effect. Make sure that you close all open documents before

          rebooting Windows.

Method 2: Obtain version 2.1 of the HP DeskJet 500 series printer driver

          (HPDJET.EXE).

          This printer driver features a .5-inch bottom  unprintable

          region. This printer driver is available from the Microsoft

          Download Service (MSDL) by calling (206) 936-MSDL (6735), or

          through anonymous ftp at ftp.microsoft.com, or from Compuserve in

          the MSL forum.

          The drawback to this workaround is that version 2.1 of the

          driver does not support color, and you must manually turn off

          the Background Printing option. (To locate this option, choose

          Options from the Tools menu, and select the Print tab.)

          For more information about obtaining the HPDJET.DRV printer

          driver, query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge

          Base:

             msdl and wdl.txt and obtain and devices

Method 3: Change the From Edge setting for the footer to at least .67

          inch. To do this, choose Page Setup from the File menu and

          select the Margins tab. Type or select .67 or greater in the From

          Edge box and then choose OK.

Troubleshooting Guide: File Locking in Master Documents

Article ID: Q114432

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article contains guidelines you can use to troubleshoot the following

file locking behaviors that may occur when you open a master document or

its subdocuments in Word for Windows:

Scenario 1: When you open a master document, some subdocuments are locked,

            while others are unlocked.

Scenario 2: When you open a master document, Word for Windows opens the

            file as read-only.

Scenario 3: When you open a master document and attempt to unlock a

            subdocument, the following error occurs and Word does not

            unlock the subdocument:

                The operation cannot be completed because the subdocument

                has a different type of protection from the master

                document. Make the protection the same for the master

                document and the subdocuments.

Scenario 4: When you open a master document and attempt to unlock a

            subdocument, the following error occurs and Word does not

            unlock the document:

                An unlocked subdocument already exists in another master

                document.

Scenario 5: When you are sharing the master document and its subdocuments

            over a network, one of the following error messages may occur

            when you open a master document and then try to unlock or open

            a subdocument:

                <Filename> is being used by <user name>. Do you want to

                make a copy?

                -or-

                This file is in use by another application or user.

            Note: Over a network, sometimes Word opens the master document

            or subdocument as read-only.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Scenario 1: Some Subdocuments Locked, Others Unlocked

-----------------------------------------------------

     Cause: Word unlocks those subdocuments in which the Author field (in

            the File Summary Info dialog box) matches the Name field (in

            the Tools Options dialog box, under the User Info tab); and

            Word locks those subdocuments in which the Author and Name

            fields do not match. See page 543 in the "Microsoft Word

            User's Guide" for more information about file locking in

            subdocuments.

Workaround: If you are not the author of the subdocument, you must first

            unlock the subdocument before you can edit it. To unlock a

            subdocument, position the insertion point in the subdocument

            and choose the Lock Document button on the Master Document

            toolbar.

            Note: Regardless of the Author and Name fields, Word flags a

            subdocument as unlocked when you initially add it to the

            master document. This happens because Word must add section

            breaks to the subdocument. If you close and then re-open the

            master document, the subdocument is locked whenever the Author

            and Name fields do not match.

            If you want all the subdocuments to be unlocked when you open

            the master document, do one or both of the following:

             - Change the Author field in each subdocument to match the

               Name field.

             - Change the Name field in the Tools Options dialog box under

               the User Info tab so it matches the Author field in each

               subdocument. (This workaround works only if the Author name

               is the same in all the subdocuments.)

            Note: In the case of a master document and subdocuments that

            are shared over a network, you cannot open any master document

            or subdocument as read-write or unlocked if another user has

            already opened the master document or subdocument and is

            making changes to it. Network file locking and file protection

            rules also affect master documents in Word.

Scenario 2: Master Document Opens As Read-Only

----------------------------------------------

     Cause: If you are not the author of the master document, Word opens

            the document as read-only. You are not the author if the

            Author field (in the File Summary Info dialog box) does not

            match the Name field (in the Tools Options dialog box, under

            the User Info tab).

            -or-

            Over a network, another user has the master document open for

            editing. Normal network file locking applies in this

            situation.

            Note: Even when a master document is open as read-only, you

            can still unlock and edit the subdocuments (as long nobody

            else has the subdocument open for editing).

Workaround: To prevent the master document from opening as read-only,

            change the Name field so it matches the Author field in the

            main document. When you close and then reopen the master

            document, Word opens it as read-write.

            Over a network, the other user must close the master document

            before you can open it as read-write.

Scenario 3: "Different Type of Protection..." Error Message

-----------------------------------------------------------

   Message: The operation cannot be completed because the subdocument has a

            different type of protection from the master document. Make

            the protection the same for the master document and the

            subdocuments.

     Cause: You tried to unlock a subdocument whose document protection

            type or revision marking status are different than that of the

            master document. This error occurs if any of the following

            documentation protection or revision marking combinations

            exist:

             - The master document is unprotected and the subdocument is

               protected for revisions, annotations, or forms.

               -or-

             - Revision marking is turned on in either the subdocument or

               the master document (not both).

               -or-

             - Both the subdocument and master document are protected, but

               each one is protected for a different type, such as

               annotations, revisions, or forms.

Workaround: Change or remove document protection in the master document or

            subdocument so the protection type matches.

Scenario 4: "Unlocked Document Already Exists..." Error Message

---------------------------------------------------------------

   Message: An unlocked subdocument already exists in another master

            document.

     Cause: You inserted a subdocument twice in the same master document.

             -or-

            The subdocument you want to unlock is already unlocked in

            another open master document.

Workaround: A subdocument can be unlocked in only one master document at a

            time, so you must do one or both of the following before you

            can unlock your subdocument:

             - Close the other master document.

               -or-

             - If the subdocument is inserted twice in the current master

               document, lock both instances of the subdocument, and then

               unlock the one you want to edit.

Scenario 5: "File in Use..." Error Messages over a Network

----------------------------------------------------------

     Cause: Another user has the subdocument or master document open for

            editing. Normal network file locking applies in these

            situations.

Workaround: The other user must close the master document or subdocument

            before you can open it for editing. You can reserve read-write

            privileges for a master document or a subdocument using the

            instructions on page 544 in the "Microsoft Word User's Guide."

Default Document Name Increments by Two After Using AWARD.WIZ

Article ID: Q114433

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

After you create a document based on the Award Wizard (AWARD.WIZ), Word for

Windows increments by two the temporary name it gives the next new

document. For example, if you create Document1 using the Award Wizard, Word

gives the next document you create the temporary name Document3 (that is,

Word skips Document2).

CAUSE

=====

The Award Wizard runs the StartWizard macro, which creates and then closes

one new document. In other words, when you create a document based on the

Award Wizard, Word creates one extra document, thereby using one of the

default temporary names.

Data Records Deleted Closing Mail Merge Data Document

Article ID: Q114483

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word for Windows may delete the records in your mail merge data document if

you do either of the following series of steps:

Case 1

------

1. Use the Mail Merge Helper to create a new data document. (To open the

   Mail Merge Helper, choose Mail Merge from the Tools menu or choose the

   Mail Merge Helper button on the Mail Merge toolbar.)

2. Choose the Edit Data Source button on the Mail Merge toolbar to open

   your data document in Data Form view.

   -or-

   In the Mail Merge Helper dialog box, open the data document. By default,

   Word opens it in Data Form view.

3. Add one or more records to your data document in Data Form view, and

   then choose OK to return to your mail merge main document.

4. Open the data document using the Open command on the File menu.

   -or-

   Use the Mail Merge Helper to open the data document, then choose the

   View Source button in the Data Form dialog box to open the data document

   in a separate window.

5. Close the data document window. When Word prompts you to save the

   changes to your data document, choose No.

   Note: This is a reasonable choice when you open the data document but

   make no changes to it.

Case 2

------

1. Perform steps 1 through 3 in Case 1 above.

2. Save the main document.

3. Without making any changes in the main document, close it. Word displays

   the following message:

      <Main Document Name> is a mail merge main document that is attached

      to a data source <Data Document Name> that has not been saved. Do you

      want to save <Data Document Name>?

   If you choose Cancel, Word closes the main document and does not save

   your data document, so your data records are gone (the data document

   contains a header record but no data).

   Note: This does not happen if the main document is "dirty" (that is,

   contains unsaved changes); it only happens if the main document does not

   need to be saved.

CAUSE

=====

This happens because Word saves your data document when you first create

it, before you add any records to it. While you are adding data records in

the Data Form dialog box, Word does not save the records, nor is there any

Save button available so you can save the data. When Word prompts you to

save your data document, it is logical to assume that, because Word has

already saved it, you do not also need to save it; unfortunately, this is

not the case.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use one of the following methods to ensure that Word saves all the data

records in your data document:

Method 1: When Word prompts you to save changes to your data document,

          choose Yes, even if you think it is unnecessary.

Method 2: Anytime you open your data document in a separate window (either

          using the Open command on the File menu or the View Source

          button in the Data Form dialog box), save the document before

          you switch back to Data Form view or return to your main

          document.

Delivery Point Bar Code Option Unavailable in Envelope Merge

Article ID: Q114484

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you create envelopes as part of a mail merge operation, sometimes the

Delivery Point Bar Code and FIM-A Courtesy Reply Mail options are not

available. However, even though the options are unavailable (dimmed), you

can choose OK and, in the Envelope Address dialog box, the Insert Postal

Bar Code button is available. You can choose the Insert Postal Bar Code

button and select the field names that contain your bar code address

information. Word for Windows adds the postal codes to your mail merge

envelope, and they merge and print correctly.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Drag-and-Drop Launch Opens Any Type of File

Article ID: Q114522

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You inadvertently dragged and dropped one of your applications or data

files onto the Word icon, and the file opens in Word. (Also, after you

close the document, you may discover that the dragged application or file

is damaged.)

CAUSE

=====

By design in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, you can drag any file or

application onto the Word icon to be opened by Word. This is referred to as

Drag-and-Drop-Launching/Opening. (This functionality excludes folders and

aliases.)

This functionality can cause a problem if you inadvertently drag an

application onto the Word icon, the application "opens" in a Word document,

and you then save the Word document before you close it. Saving causes the

application to be overwritten with a blank text file.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you inadvertently drag an application onto the Word icon, close the

resulting document without saving, and the application will be left intact.

If you accidentally save the document, you should reinstall the software,

as there may be irreparable damage to the file.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The conventional method for recognizing and opening a file on the Macintosh

is by way of a file's Creator and File type. However, for Word to open

documents of foreign formats that do not contain the Creator or File type

(files from the MS-DOS/Windows platform), Word ignores this information and

is, therefore, capable of opening files (applications or data files) of any

type. To convert the file, Word analyzes its binary information using

installed converters.

If you open an application in Word, Word will usually open a blank document

with the title of the application. If you save this newly opened file, Word

will overwrite the application with a blank text file. This file maintains

the resource fork of the original application, but the application is now

not functional.

Lotus 1-2-3 Charts Are Cropped When Inserted in Word Document

Article ID: Q114689

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A chart created in Lotus 1-2-3 version 3.x for MS-DOS may appear cropped on

the left side after you insert it into a Word 6.0 for Windows document.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the Word 6.0 and 6.0a for

Windows computer graphics metafile (.CGM) graphics filter. We are

researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: You may be able to correct the problem by double-clicking the

          graphic to start the Word graphics editor. From the graphics

          editor, choose the margins button so all the pieces of the

          graphic are within the picture bounds, then close the editor.

          All of the graphic should now be visible.

Method 2: If the graphics editor causes distortion to the graphic, try

          using other methods of getting the file into Word, such as

          saving the file in other file formats or using a third-party

          graphics conversion package.

Word Toolbars Are Not Confined to the Application Workspace

Article ID: Q114690

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The toolbars in Word 6.0 for Windows are not confined to the Word

application workspace. If you open Word in a restored window that does not

fill the desktop, you can drag a toolbar outside Word's window and drop it

on the desktop.

If you edit a Word object in place in a Microsoft Visual Basic application,

Word's toolbars will appear in the Visual Basic application workspace.

Note: Word's menus will not appear in a Visual Basic 3.0 for Windows

application workspace. This is a limitation of Visual Basic 3.0.

The toolbars in Microsoft Excel version 5.0 are implemented differently

than Word and cannot be placed outside the Microsoft Excel application

workspace.

Creating a Custom Button with an Existing Button Image

Article ID: Q114691

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

- Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

On page 721 of the "Microsoft Word User's Guide," under the "Creating a

Custom Button" heading, states, "You can either select an image in the

Custom Button dialog box or create a custom image for the button face." In

addition to these two methods for creating a button face, you can also copy

an existing toolbar button.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Use the following procedure to add an existing button image to a macro:

1. Create the macro and save it.

2. From the Tools menu, choose Customize and select the Toolbars tab.

3. From the Categories list, select Macros.

4. From the Macros list, select the macro you created in step 1.

5. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the macro to the working

   document. This will create a new button with a blank face.

6. The Custom Button dialog box will appear. Choose the Cancel button, but

   leave the Customize Toolbars dialog box open.

7. Point with the mouse to the existing button that you want to copy and

   press the right mouse button. Choose Copy Button Image.

8. Move the mouse pointer to the new blank button face and press the right

   mouse button. Choose Paste Button Image.

This will copy the existing button image onto the new button; however, its

function will be that of the macro you created.

Cannot Scale Microsoft Excel 4.0 Object in Word 6.0

Article ID: Q114742

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you open in Word 6.0 a Word 2.x document that contains a Microsoft Excel

4.0 object, you will not be able to scale the object. This problem does not

occur with a Microsoft Excel 4.0 object that is embedded in a Word 6.0

document.

CAUSE

=====

The \S  switch in the EMBED field, added when the object was embedded in

Word 2.x, prevents the object from scaling. Objects embedded in Word 6.0 do

not contain this switch.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use the following procedure to allow scaling of the object:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options and select the View tab.

2. Under Show, select the Field Codes check box and then choose OK.

3. A code similar to the following will appear in place of the object:

      { EMBED ExcelWorksheet \s  \* mergeformat }

   Delete the \s from the field code.

4. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

5. Under Show, clear the Field Codes check box and choose OK.

PresentIt Macro Leaves ~PRESENT.RTF in TEMP Directory

Article ID: Q114743

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

After you run the PresentIt macro in Word, a file named ~PRESENT.RTF will

remain in the Windows TEMP directory.

(Note: In Word 6.0, the PresentIt macro is located in CONVERT.DOT. In Word

6.0a, the macro is located in PRESENT.DOT.)

CAUSE

=====

This behavior occurs by design. The PresentIt macro exports a Word outline

to Microsoft PowerPoint. To do this, the macro saves a rich text format

(.RTF) file and then starts PowerPoint with the .RTF file opening

automatically. Once PowerPoint has finished opening the file, the temporary

file can be deleted.

Because there is no definitive way to determine when PowerPoint has started

and opened the .RTF file, the macro cannot delete the file itself.

Pasted Text Is Not Hidden in TA, TC, or XE Field

Article ID: Q114744

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Information you paste from the Clipboard into a TA (table of authorities),

TC (table of contents), or XE (index entry) field may not be hidden like

the rest of the field.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs when the Smart Cut And Paste feature is turned on. When

you have this option selected, Word in most cases automatically inserts a

space before pasted information. It is the inserted space that causes the

pasted text to be unhidden. (To locate the Use Smart Cut And Paste option,

choose Options from the Tools menu and select the Edit tab.)

Exception: With this feature selected, Word will NOT insert a preceding

space (and therefore will not cause the pasted text to be unhidden) if the

Clipboard text is inserted directly after one of the following characters:

   Open smart double quote

   Open smart single quote

   Space

   Right parenthesis

   Right square bracket

Note:  The character preceding the insertion point may vary when you

manually insert a TC, TA, or XE field. This is caused by the current states

of the Smart Quotes feature and Show/Hide All Nonprinting Characters

feature.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Use the following steps to disable Use Smart Cut And Paste:

          a. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

          b. Select the Edit tab.

          c. Clear the Use Smart Cut And Paste check box and choose OK.

Method 2: If you want to leave the Use Smart Cut And Paste option on, make

          sure before you paste into a hidden field that the insertion

          point is preceded by a space (or one of the other characters

          listed in the "Cause" section above).

Spelling Checker Flags Asterisks (**) in CUSTOM.DIC

Article ID: Q114746

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word, you can add most character combinations to the custom dictionary.

However, if you add two or more asterisks (**) to the custom dictionary,

the spelling checker will not recognize the addition, and will suggest

other options instead of the asterisks.

Editing the CUSTOM.DIC file will indicate that the characters were added.

This functionality is different than in Word version 2.x.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior is by design. In Word 6.0, the spelling checker treats the

asterisk as a reserved character so that the asterisk can be used as a

wildcard.

STATUS

======

This feature is under review and will be considered for modification in a

future release.

WORKAROUND

==========

1. Select the asterisks.

2. From the Tools menu, select Language.

3. From the Mark Selected Text As list, select (no proofing). Choose OK.

Undocumented Dialog Boxes in Word 6.0 for Windows

Article ID: Q114849

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes three undocumented Word for Windows dialog boxes you

can open using the Connect, NewToolbar, and WindowList WordBasic

statements. The article contains three sample macros that you can use to

open these dialog boxes.

Note: The Connect, NewToolbar, and WindowList statements ARE documented;

only their associated dialog boxes are undocumented.

WordBasic Statement      Dialog Box

-------------------      ----------

Connect                  Connect To Network Drive

NewToolbar               New Toolbar

WindowList               Activate

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Connect Statement: Connect To Network Drive Dialog Box

------------------------------------------------------

You can use the Connect statement in a macro to open the Connect To Network

Drive dialog box. In this dialog box, you can select a logical drive letter

and type the network path and any password. When you choose OK, Word

establishes the network connection.

Note: If you choose the Help button in the Connect To Network Drive dialog

box, a "Help topic does not exist" error message appears.

The following sample NetConnect macro opens the Connect To Network Drive

dialog box:

Sub MAIN

Dim dlg As Connect

GetCurValues dlg

If Dialog(dlg) Then Connect dlg

End Sub

The following modified NetConnect macro inserts the network name in the

Connect To Network Drive dialog box for you. You only need to select a

letter from the Drive list and choose OK.

Sub MAIN

Dim dlg As Connect

GetCurValues dlg

dlg.Path = "\\project\info"

If Dialog(dlg) Then Connect dlg

End Sub

WindowList Statement: Activate Dialog Box

-----------------------------------------

You can use the WindowList statement in a macro to open the Activate dialog

box. The Activate dialog box contains a list of all the currently open

documents. You can select a document and choose OK to activate that

document.

Note: If you choose the Help button in the Activate dialog box, Word

incorrectly displays the "1, 2, 3... Command (Window menu)" online Help

topic.

The following sample WindowActivate macro opens the Activate dialog box. In

the Activate list, your current document is selected by default. (This is

handy if you are in Full Screen view and want to know the name of your

current document.)

Sub MAIN

On Error Resume Next

ToolsMacro .Name = "WindowList", .Show = 2, .Run

End Sub

NewToolbar Statement: New Toolbar Dialog Box

--------------------------------------------

You can use the NewToolbar statement in a macro to open the New Toolbar

dialog box, where you can type the name of a new toolbar and select the

template in which you want to store it. The advantage of using the

NewToolbar statement is that you do not have to first open the View

Toolbars dialog box and then choose the New button.

The following sample MakeNewToolbar macro opens the New Toolbar dialog box:

Sub MAIN

Dim dlg As NewToolbar

GetCurValues dlg

If Dialog(dlg) Then NewToolbar dlg

End Sub

Note: If you choose the Help button in the New Toolbar dialog box, Word

correctly displays the New Toolbar Dialog Box online Help topic.

"LEX Formats Incompatible" Error During Administrative Setup

Article ID: Q114870

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

On a network, if you perform an Administrative Installation (Setup /A) to

upgrade from Word 6.0 for Windows to Word 6.0a or 6.0c for Windows, the

following error message may occurring during Setup:

   Setup cannot update the proofing tools in the shared

   location because the LEX formats are incompatible.

CAUSE

=====

This error occurs when you run the Word 6.0a or 6.0c Administrative

Installation if the MSSPEL2.DLL file installed by Word 6.0 still resides in

the shared proofing tools subdirectory in your Windows program directory

(by default, this directory is WINDOWS\MSAPPS\PROOF). For example, this

happens if you did not delete the shared proofing tools subdirectory before

you ran the Word 6.0a or 6.0c Setup program.

This error only occurs when you perform an Administrative Installation

(Setup /A) of Word 6.0a or 6.0c.

RESOLUTION

==========

Rename or delete the Word 6.0 MSSPEL2.DLL file in the shared proofing tools

subdirectory (WINDOWS\MSAPPS\PROOF) before you install Word 6.0a.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word 6.0a or 6.0c upgrades your OLE 2.0 DLLs, including MSSPEL2.DLL. For

more information about installing Word on a network workstation or server,

Info: Novell Network Privileges Required to Run Word

Article ID: Q114939

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article lists which network privileges you need to perform specific

Word for Windows operations over a Novell network. The article includes the

following sections:

 - Novell Privileges Required to Only Read Documents

 - Novell Privileges Required to Create or Modify Documents

 - Symptoms of Missing Novell Privileges

 - Why Novell Features File Scan as Well as Create Privileges

IMPORTANT: On a Novell network, you must have the File Scan rights

(formerly called File Search rights by Novell) to run Word for Windows.

This only affects Novell networks, and it is not documented in either of

the Word references listed below in the "References" section of this

article.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following sections list specific Word operations and the Novell

privileges you must have to perform each operation.

Novell Privileges Required to Only Read Documents

-------------------------------------------------

   READ, FILE SCAN

Below is a list of directories where users need only Read and File Scan

privileges to run Word (they only need to be able to read from these

directories):

 - Server location of Word program directory tree (Administrative

   installation)

 - Server location of shared Microsoft applications (MSAPPS) directory tree

   (Administrative installation)

 - Windows program directory, if running shared Windows

 - Any server directories where you store graphics or other source files

   for links that you do not want users to be able to modify in Word.

Note: In addition, you need to apply Read-Only and Shareable Flags to all

the files in these locations. Usually, the Novell network administrator

sets this sequence of privileges and attributes after performing the server

installation of Windows or an application.

Novell Privileges Required to Create or Modify Documents

--------------------------------------------------------

   READ, WRITE, FILE SCAN, CREATE, ERASE, MODIFY (all rights except

   PARENTAL and SUPERVISOR)

      Note: NetWare version 2.x also uses OPEN and uses DELETE and SEARCH

      instead of ERASE and SEARCH, respectively.

The following is a list of directories where users need these privileges to

run Word:

 - The workstation's Word program directory tree, if it is located on the

   server

 - Temporary directory, if it is located on the server

 - Any server directories where the user stores documents

 - Any server directories where source files for links are located that the

   user needs to modify (for example, Microsoft Excel worksheets or

   charts). The files in these locations usually have no flags assigned,

   which means the user has complete access to them.

Note: The files in these locations usually have no Flags assigned, which

means the user has complete access to them.

Symptoms of Missing Novell Privileges

-------------------------------------

File Scan          The user cannot see any files in the directory, so the

                   directory appears to be empty.

Erase              The user cannot delete files, which frequently results

                   in a large number of temporary (.TMP) files.

Modify             The user cannot rename files. When the user does not

                   have Modify privileges, Word cannot rename .TMP files

                   during a save operation. When Word saves, it deletes

                   the previously saved version of the document and then

                   renames the current .TMP file. Without Modify

                   rights, Word deletes the document and then cannot

                   rename the .TMP file, so an error occurs and the

                   document appears to be lost (you can copy the .TMP

                   file to a directory in which the user has appropriate

                   privileges and then rename it).

Why Novell Features File Scan as Well as Create Privileges

----------------------------------------------------------

If you have Create privileges but not File Scan privileges, you can create

files or copy them to a directory, but you cannot view the directory. This

means that, under Novell, you can create a "drop directory" where you can

collect files (such as reports or logs) from many users that cannot be read

by those same users.

If you have Create privileges but not File Scan privileges in a directory

where you want to create Word documents, a large number of .TMP files

quickly accumulate.

No Table Headings Following Next Page Section Break

Article ID: Q114940

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word for Windows does not repeat a table heading after a manual page break

or a Next Page section break.

CAUSE

=====

This functionality is by design in Word, but it is not completely

documented in the "Microsoft Word User's Guide". Page 297 in the "Microsoft

Word User's Guide" states that Word does not automatically repeat table

headings after a "hard" page break, but it does not state the same for a

Next Page section break. The following is the statement as it should appear

on page 297 in the user's guide:

   Word automatically repeats table headings only for tables that are

   split by "soft" page breaks. If you insert a "hard" page break or a

   Next Page section break within a table, the heading is not automatically

   repeated.

The same incomplete information appears in the online Help "Repeated Table

Headings" topic.

How to Change the Name in a Newsletter After Running Wizard

Article ID: Q114994

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use the Newsletter Wizard (NEWSLTTR.WIZ) to create a newsletter

document in Word for Windows, the wizard prompts you for the name of your

newsletter. In the dialog box, the following message appears:

   TIP: You can edit the name later.

However, once you choose the Finish button to close the wizard and create

your newsletter document, the method for changing the name of your

newsletter is neither obvious nor documented. For example, there is no

Modify Newsletter Name menu command or toolbar button.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Use one of the following methods to change the newsletter name:

Method 1: If you have not yet chosen the Finish button to close the

          Newsletter Wizard, you can choose the Back button until the

          Newsletter Name prompt appears. Type a new name and then choose

          the Next or Finish button.

Method 2: If you have already chosen the Finish button and closed the

          Newsletter Wizard, use the following instructions to change the

          Newsletter Name in the Word document:

          a. Select the title on the first page of the newsletter and type

             a new title.

          b. If your newsletter contains more than one page, you must also

             change the newsletter name in the header of the document. To

             do this, choose Header And Footer from the View menu.

Preview Page Contains No Lines in File Page Setup Dialog Box

Article ID: Q114995

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, the page in the Preview area of the File Page Setup

dialog box may not display any lines.

CAUSE

=====

No lines display when the Blue Background, White Text option is selected.

(To locate this option, choose Options from the Tools menu and select the

General tab.)

Word uses the Window Text color to display the lines on the page in the

Preview area. When you turn on the Blue Background, White Text option, Word

adds a setting to your WINWORD.OPT file that changes the Window Text color

to white while you are working in Word. In the File Page Setup dialog box,

Word draws white lines on a white background, so the lines are not visible.

Note: Word uses this special WINWORD.OPT Window Text setting instead of

changing the Window Text color in Windows Control panel, where it would

affect all your Windows-based applications.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Use the following instructions to turn off the Blue Background,

          White Text option:

          a. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

          b. Select the General tab.

          c. Clear the Blue Background, White Text option and choose OK.

Method 2: Use the following procedure to change your Windows Background

          color to blue in Windows Control Panel:

          a. In Windows Control Panel, choose the Colors icon.

          b. Choose the Color Palette button.

          c. From the Screen Element list, select Windows Background.

          d. Under Basic Colors, select blue, and then choose OK.

Using PowerLeads! as a Data Source for Word 6.0 Mail Merge

Article ID: Q115067

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you write a letter or perform a mail merge from PowerLeads! version 1.2

using Word for Windows, you may receive the following error message:

   Microsoft Word Err=1041

   This document template does not exist

CAUSE

=====

Although you can select Word as a word processor option from within

PowerLeads! version 1.2, the error is generated because the PWRWORD6.DOT is

not installed with the PowerLeads! version 1.2 upgrade disk. To select Word

in PowerLeads!, from the Utilities menu, choose Customize and select

Microsoft Word for Windows version 6.0 as the Word Processor,

PowerLeads! will correctly print merge when used with Word versions 2.x for

Windows.

RESOLUTION

==========

To merge your database records with Word 6.0 for Windows, you must first

open the PWRWORD2.DOT file in Word, convert it, and save it as

PWRWORD6.DOT. Store this file in the same directory as PowerLeads!. You

will be prompted twice to confirm conversions. Choose OK to confirm both

conversions. During the conversion process you are prompted to specify the

Header Record Delimiters two times although the second instance is to

specify the delimiters for the data file, not the header file. Use a comma

as a field separator and a paragraph symbol as a record delimiter and

choose OK for both dialog boxes.

While in the Header Record Delimiters dialog boxes, notice that the

previews show the fields separated by commas and that each record ends with

a paragraph return, indicating that these are the selections that you

should make when specifying field delimiters. Selecting tab or one of the

other symbols as a field delimiter causes the header and data fields to be

converted as one long character string, thus causing an Invalid Merge Field

error.

By default, the header information is stored in a file called PWRFLDS.TXT,

and the data is temporarily stored in a file called DATADOC.TXT.

Embedded Object Becomes Blank Box in Reopened Document

Article ID: Q115095

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Sometimes when you close and then reopen a Word for Windows document that

contains an embedded object (that is, the result of an {EMBED} field), the

embedded object may become a blank box in the reopened document. If you

double-click the blank box to edit it, Word displays the following error

message:

   Word cannot edit the <object type> object.

If you select the blank box and press DEL to remove it, the following error

message occurs:

   Word has insufficient memory. You will not be able to undo this

   action once it is completed. Do you want to continue?

If you choose Yes, Word deletes the object. If you choose No, Word displays

the following error message:

   There are too many edits in the document. This operation will

   be incomplete. Save your work.

If you save the document, the following error message occurs:

   The disk is full trying to write to C:. Free some space on this

   drive or save the document on a different disk.

CAUSE

=====

This problem happens if you do the following:

1. Before you close the document, cut the embedded object (from the Edit

   menu, choose Cut).

2. Close the document, and choose No when Word prompts you to save changes.

3. Reopen the document. If the embedded object is still on the Windows

   Clipboard, the object displays as a blank box in Word when you reopen

   the document.

The problem does not occur if you delete the object from the Windows

Clipboard or replace it with something else before you reopen the Word

document. Moreover, the problem does not occur if you copy the embedded

object (by choosing Copy from the Edit menu) instead of cutting it as

described in step 1 above.

Important: This is NOT the same as the problem in which a Word 2.x document

object becomes corrupt after you edit it in Word 6.0. For more information

about this separate problem, query on the following words in the Microsoft

Knowledge Base:

   object and corrupt and editing and officeinterop and container

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Once it appears as a blank box, you cannot recover the embedded object in

your document. If the embedded object still exists on the Clipboard, you

can paste a new copy into your document and delete the blank box using the

instructions in Method 1 below. If the embedded object no longer exists on

the Clipboard, you must re-create the embedded object or insert it again by

choosing the Object command on the Insert menu and selecting the Create

From File tab.

Method 1: If you reopen a document and notice that Word is displaying an

          embedded object as a blank box, immediately do the following:

          a. Position the insertion point on a blank line in the document

             (for example, press ENTER to create a blank line under the

             embedded object).

          b. From the Edit menu, choose Paste. If your embedded object

             still exists on the Clipboard, Word pastes it in your document

             correctly.

          c. Select the blank box and press DEL. When the following

             error message appears, choose the Yes button:

                Word has insufficient memory. You will not be able to undo

                this action once it is completed. Do you want to continue?

          c. Save your document. No error message should occur.

Method 2: To avoid this problem in the future, use the following

          instructions to remove the embedded object from the Windows

          Clipboard before you reopen the Word document that contains the

          object:

Pleading Wizard (PLEADING.WIZ) Differs from Word 6.0 to 6.0a

Article ID: Q115104

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The Pleading Wizard supplied with Word 6.0a for Windows prompts for and

adds a caption box that includes the Plaintiff, Defendant, Case Number, and

Pleading Title.

By contrast, the Pleading Wizard supplied with Word 6.0 for Windows does

not prompt for or add this caption.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Below is a description of the changes in the Word 6.0a version of the

Pleading Wizard.

Caption Screen (New Screen)

---------------------------

In Word 6.0a, this screen asks whether you want to add a caption to the

document and gives you four options: Style 1, Style 2, Style 3, or No

Caption. If you select one of the styles, the wizard displays the Caption

Information screen (also a new screen) where you can type the caption

information (Plaintiff, Defendant, Case Number, and Pleading Title). If you

select No Caption, the wizard proceeds to the Finish screen.

The following is a sample caption, using the Style 1 caption option:

PLAINTIFF'S NAME,               )  No. 12-3-456789-1

     Plaintiff,                 )

     vs.                        )  PLEADING TITLE

DEFENDANT'S NAME,               )

     Defendant                  )

                                )

                                )

                                )

                                )

                                )

Caption Information Screen (New Screen)

---------------------------------------

If you selected a caption style in the previous Caption Screen, the

Pleading Wizard displays the Caption Information screen, where you can type

the following information: Plaintiff, Defendant, Case Number, and Pleading

Title. The wizard uses the information you provide to create a caption in

your pleading document.

Courts Name Screen (Minor Change)

---------------------------------

This is a wording change only. The name of the check box you can select if

you want to center the name of the court is "Centered" in Word 6.0 and

"Center" in Word 6.0a.

"Too Many Data Fields" Managing Mail Merge Data in Source View

Article ID: Q115146

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In a mail merge main document, if you choose the Edit Data Source button on

the Mail Merge toolbar, choose the View Source button, choose the Manage

Fields button on the Database toolbar, and then choose OK, one of the

following error messages may occur:

   Record 1 contained too many data fields.

   -or-

   Record 1 contained too few data fields.

These errors only occur if you switch to Source view. They do not occur if

you modify your data source in Data Form view.

CAUSE

=====

This happens if you are using a separate header source. When you choose the

Manage Fields button on the Database toolbar, Word opens the data source

file rather than the header source file and incorrectly treats the first

data row as the header row.

Word stores any changes you make in the data source instead of the header

source file. Then, when you choose OK to close the Manage Fields dialog

box, Word displays the "...too many data fields" error message.

The same error message also occurs each time you open your data source; for

example, it occurs when you choose the View Merged Data button on the Mail

Merge toolbar and switch from one record to another.

Note: If you notice that the first record in your data source contains

field names instead of data, you may have edited your data file in Source

view, or you may not have a separate header source file attached after all.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

When you use a mail merge header source file, perform all your data

management tasks in Data Form view, not in Source view. In other words, do

not choose the View Source button in the Data Form dialog box.

If you want to manage your mail merge data source in Source view, you

cannot use a separate header source file.

BatchConversion Macro Works Incorrectly on Novell NetWare

Article ID: Q115149

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use the BatchConversion macro supplied with Word for Windows,

directories located on a Novell NetWare server may not be displayed. The

root directory of the network drive and up to one subdirectory will appear,

but no further subdirectories will be available. This happens when you

select either a source or destination directory.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 and 6.0a for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here

in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Copy the files to a local drive to be converted.

Method 2: Use the Novell MAP ROOT command to map a drive letter to the

          exact subdirectory desired.

Cannot Edit Equations and Graphs in Word 2.x for Windows

Article ID: Q115150

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you have a Word document with a graph or equation in it and you try to

edit that object, you may get one of the following error messages:

   Word cannot edit the MSGraph.Chart.5

   -or-

   Word cannot edit the Equation.2

CAUSE

=====

Equations created with Equation Editor version 2.0 or 2.0a and graphs

created with Graph version 5.0 cannot be edited with Equation Editor

version 1.0 or Graph version 3.0, respectively.

WORKAROUND

==========

There is no workaround for this situation. The equations and graphs must be

edited by the application that created them.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Graph 3.0 and Equation Editor 1.0 were shipped with Word 2.x.

Graph 3.0 and Equation Editor 2.0 were shipped with Word 6.0.

Graph 5.0 and Equation Editor 2.0 were shipped with PowerPoint 4.0.

When you install PowerPoint 4.0, you are notified that existing graphs will

be automatically updated to Graph, but PowerPoint Setup gives you an option

to keep Graph 3.0 on the system. If you choose this option, Windows will

not convert Graph 3.0 charts and will continue to allow creation of Graph

3.0 charts as well as Graph 5.0 charts. Windows will treat Graph 3.0

objects and Graph 5.0 chart objects as unrelated objects.

When you install Word 6.0, Word Setup replaces Equation Editor 1.0 with

Equation Editor 2.0 and automatically updates all your Equation Editor 1.0

equations to Equation Editor 2.0 equations when you open them. Word 6.0

Setup does not tell you that your new equations will not be editable on a

system that only has Word 2.0.

If you have both Word 2.0 and Word 6.0 on the same system, equations you

create in Word 2.0 are automatically created with Equation Editor 2.0. When

you take these equations to a machine that has only Word 2.0, the equations

cannot be edited.

Blank SPACES Not Suppressed During Conditional Mail Merge

Article ID: Q115156

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you perform a mail merge in Word 6.0 or 6.0a for Windows, blank spaces

may not be suppressed when you use one of the standard conditional

statements.

Note: A similar problem occurs in which Word does not suppress blank LINES

in a conditional mail merge. For information about this topic, query on the

following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   suppress* and blank and lines and conditional

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Condition 1:  The first field in a series of fields is the conditional

------------  argument.

Use one of the following conditional MERGEFIELD examples to suppress the

unwanted space at the beginning of the merge result and to ensure you have

the appropriate spacing when the condition is true.

 - In this first example, there must be a space before the closing

   quotation mark immediately following {MERGEFIELD title} in the true

   test. If the space is not included, the merge will be incorrect. Notice

   that there is no space between the conditional MERGEFIELD and the last

   MERGEFIELD.

      {if{mergefield title}<> "" "{mergefield title}<space>"}{mergefield

       name}

 - The following statement provides the desired result even though the

   syntax is incorrect (the missing ending quotation marks after the

   MERGEFIELD). There is no space between the true and false tests, but

   there is a space immediately between the two closing braces at the end

   of the conditional statement.

      {if{mergefield title}<> "" "{mergefield title}<space>}{mergefield

       name}

Condition 2:  The field occurs in the middle of a series of fields.

------------

For example, if you want to suppress a middle initial between a firstname

and lastname fields, then you can use one of the following MERGEFIELDs to

get the correct results:

 - In the following example, a space is included in the true test

   immediately following {MERGEFIELD middle} but before the ending

   quotation marks.

      {mergefield firstname} {if{mergefield middle}<> "" "{mergefield

       middle} <space>"}{mergefield lastname}

 - In the next example, there is a space inserted between the ending field

   brace for {MERGEFIELD middle} and the ending brace for the conditional

   field. When the fields are merged, the true test will provide a space if

   the middle initial is included, but a space will not be included if the

   middle initial doesn't exist.

      {mergefield firstname} {if {mergefield middle}<> "" "{mergefield

       middle} <space>}{mergefield lastname}

The Insert Word Field Feature

-----------------------------

If you used the MailMerge Helper to set up your main document and attach a

data file, you can add conditional MERGEFIELD statements by choosing the

Insert Word Field button. Using this option can produce incorrect results

during the merge unless the space is added before the ending quotation

marks after {MERGEFIELD title} in the true test. Below is an example of how

the field is inserted into the document using this method:

   { if { mergefield title } <> "" "{ mergefield title }" "" } {mergefield

    name}

Unless the conditional field is modified so that the space is included as

part of the conditional statement, the result will be no space when the

title field is true and one space before the name field when the result is

false. When modified, the conditional line would read as follows:

   { if { mergefield title } <> "" "{ mergefield title }<space>"}

    {mergefield name}

MORE INFORMATION

================

If you are trying to suppress the blank space at the beginning of a line

when the first field is empty, the following examples work incorrectly:

   {if{mergefield title}<> "" "{mergefield title}"} {mergefield name}

   {if{mergefield title}<> "" "{mergefield title}"}{mergefield name}

   {if{mergefield title}<> "" "{mergefield title}} {mergefield name}

In the first and third examples above, when the test is true, the result

displays and prints with one space between the title and the name; when the

result is false, there is one space before the name result--in other words,

at the beginning of the line.

The second example yields correct results if there is no title. If the

result of the conditional statement returns both a title and a name, there

is no space between the title and the name.

If you are trying to suppress the blank spaces for an empty field result in

the middle of a series of fields, the following examples do NOT work

correctly:

 - In the first example below, two spaces will be placed between the

   firstname and the lastname fields when the result is false (when there

   is no middle name). If the middle name is not blank, the result will

   print correctly.

      {mergefield firstname} {if {mergefield middle} <> "" "{mergefield

       middle}"} {mergefield lastname}

 - In the next example, if the middle name exists, there will be no space

   between the middle name and the last name. If the middle name does not

   exist, the result will correctly place a space between the firstname and

   lastname results.

      {mergefield firstname} {if {mergefield middle} <> "" "{mergefield

       middle}"}{mergefield lastname}

 - In the final example, two spaces will occur when there is no middle

   name. When the middle name exists, one space will be placed before the

   middle name and two spaces will be placed between the middle name and

   the last name.

      {mergefield firstname} {if {mergefield middle} <> "" "{mergefield

       middle}} {mergefield lastname}

GP Fault Exiting Word and Retaining Large Clipboard Contents

Article ID: Q115157

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you choose Yes when the following message appears while you quit Word

for Windows, a general protection (GP) fault in the WINWORD.EXE module may

occur:

   You placed a large amount of text on the Clipboard. Do you

   want this text to be available to other applications after you

   quit Word?

CAUSE

=====

The GP fault occurs if all of the following conditions are true:

1. Your NORMAL.DOT global template contains boilerplate text and has

   been previously saved (your Normal template is not open).

2. You created a new document based on NORMAL.DOT and inserted a picture in

   the document. The picture must be either a .BMP or .PCX file or a screen

   capture you created by pressing PRINT SCREEN or ALT+PRINT SCREEN.

3. You copied the picture file to the Clipboard.

4. While the picture file was still on the Clipboard, you quit Word (it

   does not matter whether you save the document or not).

5. When the "...large amount of text on the Clipboard" message appears,

   you chose Yes. (It does not occur if you choose No.)

WordPerfect Navigation Keys Work Incorrectly in Word 6.0

Article ID: Q115169

------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system, version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows, some WordPerfect shortcut key

combinations work incorrectly when "Navigation Keys for WordPerfect Users"

is turned on. For example:

 - In WordPerfect version 5.1, pressing  HOME, HOME, UP ARROW (or HOME,

   HOME, DOWN ARROW) positions the insertion point at the top (or bottom)

   of the document. To move to the top (or bottom) of the document window

   in WordPerfect, you press HOME, UP ARROW (or HOME, DOWN ARROW).

 - In Word for Windows (with the "Navigation Keys for WordPerfect Users"

   option on), however, pressing HOME, HOME, UP ARROW (or HOME, HOME, DOWN

   ARROW) incorrectly moves the insertion point to the top (or bottom) of

   the document window.

WORKAROUND

==========

To use standard Word key combinations to move the insertion point to the

top or bottom of the document, disable the "Navigation Keys for WordPerfect

Users" option. (To turn off this option, from the Tools menu, choose

Options. Select the General tab, and clear the "Navigation Keys for

WordPerfect Users" check box.)

AutoFormat Won't Review Last Paragraph Mark

Article ID: Q115170

------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

After you use Word's AutoFormat feature once in a document, in subsequent

passes the AutoFormat review process ignores the last paragraph mark. Also,

if you try to type new text at the end of an AutoFormatted document,

sometimes the text is formatted as hidden text.

This problem occurs when the original document's last paragraph mark was

immediately preceded by text. The problem does not occur when the last

paragraph mark is preceded by another paragraph mark.

CAUSE

=====

By design, the AutoFormat process adds a hidden paragraph mark to the end

of your document. Because the paragraph mark is hidden, the AutoFormat

process ignores it. If you put the insertion point before that paragraph

mark and try to insert text, the new text will be hidden too.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 and 6.0a for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here

in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Change the character format of the last paragraph mark to nonhidden. To do

this, select the last paragraph mark, choose Font from the Format menu, and

clear the Hidden check box under Effects.

Merge Data Source Fails to Attach, Merge, or Allow Check

Article ID: Q115171

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

- Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you are working with a mail merge data source, the following symptoms

may occur:

 - The data source appears to have not attached after you try to attach it.

 - Navigation of data records may be prevented.

 - Merging may halt at a particular record prematurely.

 - Data source searching may halt prematurely.

 - More than one record merges to the same merged document page

   unexpectedly.

The lack of helpful error messages that explain the reasons for the

problems make troubleshooting difficult.

CAUSE

=====

These problems are most likely caused by mismatched double quotation marks

in a mail merge data source document.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this (the lack of error message prompts) to be a

problem in Word 6.0 for Windows. We are researching this problem and will

post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes

available.

RESOLUTION

==========

These problems can be resolved by correcting the quotation marks. Open the

data source file without attaching it to the main file. Browse or search

for any mismatched quotation marks and correct them by providing matching

left and right quotation marks or by removing the offending quotation

mark(s).

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following are more detailed descriptions of the symptoms:

 - Choosing the navigation buttons on the main document Mail Merge toolbar

   does not allow navigation past the record with the mismatched double

   quotation mark. The record number displayed on the toolbar will

   correspond to the last good record. If the mismatched quotation mark is

   in the first data record, the record number displayed will be 0 (zero).

 - Merging will quit after the last good record. The following warning

   message will display:

      Word could not finish merging these documents or inserting this

      database.

 - Data record searches will begin at the current insertion point location

   and quit after the last good record. No warning or error messages will

   display.

 - Data source error checking will quit after the last good record without

   pinpointing the error and will display the following warning message:

      Word could not finish merging these documents or inserting this

      database.

 - The header delimiter selection screen will display when the data source

   is attached to the main document if the mismatched double quotation mark

   is in the first record of the data source. A delimiter can be selected,

   but the data source will not attach. No errors or warnings will display.

   The record number box on the main document Mail Merge toolbar will show

   a 0 (zero).

 - In the Data Form dialog box, if Word is attempting to read a record that

   contains a mismatched quotation mark, then the following message may

   appear:

      Word cannot read the next record from the data source because

      the data source has a mismatched double quotation mark.

Cannot Cancel "Invalid Merge Field" Error Loop

Article ID: Q115247

------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following "Invalid Merge Field" error message appears when a mail merge

is executed or checked for errors:

   This merge field is used in the main document,

   but it does not exist in the data source.

Choosing the Cancel button only cancels the error dialog box. There is no

direct way to stop the merge or check in progress.

CAUSE

=====

The mail merge main document contains a MERGEFIELD with a field name that

does not match any of the field names in the data source header record.

This error most often occurs when a new data source is attached to a

main document and the spelling of a field name is changed. For

example, if a mailing list with the field "FirstName" is replaced by

a data source with the field name "Fname", the MERGEFIELD

<<FirstName>> is no longer valid in the main document.

This error can also occur when the original mail merge document has been

converted from Word 2.x for Windows and uses a comma- or tab-delimited data

source. For more information on how to correct the problems in this case,

query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   delimiters and invalid and merge and field

The "Invalid Merge Field" error will appear once for each record in the

data file if the incorrect field is not replaced or removed.

RESOLUTION

==========

1. To interrupt the merge process, press the ESC key repeatedly while the

   error message is displayed.

2. Choose the Remove Field option to remove the incorrect field from the

   main document.

3. Choose the Replace Field option to replace the incorrect field with a

   field that does exist in the data file.

DATE Field Nested in ASK or FILLIN Prompts Multiple Times

Article ID: Q115248

------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A DATE field nested in an ASK or FILLIN field that is updated automatically

by an AutoOpen or AutoNew macro may prompt you for a response several

times, depending on which view the document was last saved in. For example:

   {FILLIN "What is the start date?" \d {date}}

If the document was last saved in page layout view, you will see this

prompt when you first open the file but before the document appears on

the screen. If this prompt appears after other ASK or FILLIN fields in

the document, it will reappear when the prompts appear in their proper

order.

If you are in normal view when you open the document, the prompt will

appear normally.

NOTE: The prompt containing the DATE field also appears anytime you do the

following:

 - Switch from normal view to page layout view.

 - Change from any view to print preview.

CAUSE

=====

The DATE field forces the ASK or FILLIN field to recalculate, which

"dirties" the instructions of the ASK or FILLIN field, causing multiple

prompts.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Remove the DATE field from the ASK or FILLIN field.

Method 2: Switch to Normal view before you save the document.

Adding the ViewNormal command to the beginning of the AutoNew or AutoOpen

macro has no effect.

Indent Retained When Bullets or Numbering Is Removed

Article ID: Q115249

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

- Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Text in cells may retain indents after bullets and numbering formatting is

removed. This behavior occurs within interior table cells and within lists

of items when the toolbar buttons for Bullets or Numbering are used to

remove the bullets or numbering. This behavior does not occur when bullets

or numbering are removed from text within the leftmost or rightmost cells

in a table or from the first or last items in a list.

CAUSE

=====

Bulleted items within tables are considered to be in list form even though

they are spread out in table cells. Choosing the Bullets or Numbering

button on the toolbar after a bullet has been applied is the equivalent of

using the Skip Numbering (or bullets) command. Skip Numbering maintains the

indent but removes the bullets or numbering.

The rightmost and leftmost cells are affected differently because they are

considered the start and end of the list. When removing bullets or

numbering from the first or last item in the series, this is treated as

Stop Numbering and the indent is removed.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word version 6.0

and 6.0a for Windows. This problem was corrected in Word version 6.0c for

Windows

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: To remove the indents as well as the bullets or numbering, choose

          the Bullets And Numbering command from the Format menu. Select

          the Bullets or Number tab and choose the Remove button.

Method 2: Place your insertion point in the paragraph containing the bullet

          or number and click the right mouse button to access the shortcut

          menu. Select the Stop Numbering option.

Strange Cursor Behavior in Cell with Exact Cell Height

Article ID: Q115250

------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system, version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 and 6.0a, when you set the row height for a table cell to an

exact height and you type text in that cell that exceeds the cell width,

the insertion point may appear to move to the cell or area below. You

cannot see the "excess" text as you type, but the insertion point appears

to move through the width of the cell or area below.

(To set an exact row height, select the cell(s) and choose Cell Height And

Width from the Table menu. In the Height Of Rows box, select Exactly. In

the At box, select or type the height desired. Choose OK.)

CAUSE

=====

The excess text is actually wrapping to the next line of the cell, but

because the row height is set to Exactly, the excess text may not have

enough room (height) to display. However, the insertion point display

criteria for page layout view in Word 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows indicates

that if any portion of the insertion point is showing above the bottom of

the table cell, the entire insertion point should be displayed.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 and 6.0a for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here

in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When row height is set to Exactly, you can type text that exceeds the set

cell size into a cell, but the excess text does not display. The insertion

point disappears when the cell boundary is reached.

Custom Paper Sizes Print in Wrong Location

Article ID: Q115253

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print custom paper sizes using Word 6.0 for Windows, the

document prints in the wrong location on the paper.

CAUSE

=====

The envelope printing options are not set correctly.

Word determines where to print the information on a custom paper size by

using the envelope feed options. The envelope feed options not only affect

how envelopes are printed, but also how custom size documents are printed.

In Word 2.0, these options are set using printer heuristics. In Word 6.0,

printer heuristics are set by choosing the envelope feed options in the

Printing Options dialog box for envelopes.

In most cases, if the envelope printing options are set correctly for

envelopes, custom paper sizes will also print correctly. If custom paper

sizes are printing too far to the left or right, some adjustments may be

necessary.

To Troubleshoot Printing Problems with Custom Paper Sizes

---------------------------------------------------------

1. Check the paper source to make sure it is correct:

   a. From the File menu, choose Page Setup.

   b. Select the Paper Source tab.

   c. Set the paper source to Manual so that the paper will be pulled from

      the manual feed slot on the printer.

2. Make sure the Envelope Printing Options are correctly set for the feed

   method used by the printer:

   a. From the Tools Menu, choose Envelopes And Labels.

   b. Select the Envelopes tab.

   c. Choose the Options button.

   d. Select the Printing Options tab.

   e. Select the feed method that matches the way the printer's manual feed

      slot works.

   f. Choose OK.

   g. Choose the Cancel button to return to your document.

The custom paper size should now print correctly.

Note: If the Envelope Feed icon does not match the way the printer

physically handles custom paper sizes, the results may be unpredictable. In

most cases, the envelope feed icon cannot be used to force the printer to

print custom paper sizes differently than the printer (that is, the manual

feed slot) is designed to. This may work on some printers, but it is very

dependent on the hardware design of the printer, and correct results can

not be guaranteed.

Deleted Agenda Wizard Topic Time Reappears on Agenda

Article ID: Q115254

------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you create a new document based on the Agenda Wizard and you delete a

topic in the agenda topics list, when you advance to the screen to confirm

your agenda topics, the deleted topic time allotment displays on the agenda

list. This problem occurs with any topic except the last topic.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior is by design. When you create a new document based on the

Agenda Wizard, any information that you previously entered in the Agenda

Wizard is stored in the wizard, making the information available the next

time you use the Agenda Wizard.

RESOLUTION

==========

To remove the deleted topic, use the Move Down button in the second dialog

box to place the persistent topic at the bottom of the list of topics.

Choose the Back button to return to the previous dialog box. Delete the

last entry (that is, the time in the Minutes Allocated field). Choose the

Next button, and you should see that the topic has been deleted. Choose the

Finish button to display your finished agenda document.

Word Inserts an Opening Smart Quote After a Space

Article ID: Q115256

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Word 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows, the Smart Quotes feature will always

Filename Not Added to Most Recently Used (MRU) List

Article ID: Q115257

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you open a file from a custom FileOpen macro or use the FileOpen

command from a macro, the name of the opened file is not added to the most

recently used (MRU) list unless you save the file before closing it.

CAUSE

=====

The FileOpen command in Word 6.0 includes a parameter (.AddToMru) that is

set to 0 (zero) by default. When it is set to 1, FileOpen adds the filename

to the MRU list when you close the file without saving it.

RESOLUTION

==========

To add the file to the MRU list when it is opened but not saved before

closing, add the .AddToMru = 1 statement to your macro. Place this

statement after the GetCurValues dlg statement as in the following example:

Sub MAIN

Dim dlg As FileOpen

GetCurValues dlg

dlg.AddToMru = 1

Dialog dlg

FileOpen dlg

End Sub

"Error at <Cell Reference>" Appears Instead of Result

Article ID: Q115259

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If a formula in a table refers to a cell that is blank, the formula shows

the following error message instead of a result:

   !Error at <cell reference>

If there are nested formulas, the field will show a previous result or will

not show any result.

For example, the formula in B1 of the table below refers to A1. When A1

contains a number, B1 will show the result of A1 multiplied by 6. When A1

is empty, B1 will show "!Error at A1".

    --------------------

   |         | {=A1*6}  |

    --------------------

CAUSE

=====

Word does not evaluate formulas for which any of the elements are unknown.

WORKAROUND

==========

Type a 0 (zero) in the blank cell. If you do not want the 0 to display,

format it as Hidden.

NOTE: {IF} fields and bookmarks are not effective in this situation.

Changing the Default Envelope Attributes in Word 6.0

Article ID: Q115260

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You cannot get your Envelope Address or Envelope Return formatting

changes to "stick."

Case 1: If you modify the Envelope Address or Envelope Return styles using

the Style command from the Format menu, and then select the Add To Template

option to make the change permanent, some but not all of the style

attributes are retained.

  NOTE: See the "More Information" section at the bottom of this article

  for a list of what attributes are and are not retained.

Case 2: If you modify the Envelope Address or Envelope Return attributes by

choosing Envelopes And Labels from the Tools menu and then choosing the

Options button, the changes are valid only for the current envelope, and

none of the changes are retained for future envelopes.

STATUS

======

Case 1: Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows and Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh. We are researching this

problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base

as it becomes available.

Case 2: This behavior is by design. However, you can make the changes

permanent by carrying the procedure a few steps further. See Workaround

Method 1 below for a description of the steps required.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: To change most of the Envelope Address or Envelope Return style

          attributes for the current and future envelopes, perform the

          following steps.

           1. From the Tools menu, choose Envelopes And Labels.

           2. Select the Envelopes tab.

           3. Choose the Options button.

           4. Adjust the position of the return address and the delivery

              address using the From Left and From Top options.

           5. Adjust the font and point size by choosing the Font buttons,

              making the desired changes, and then choosing OK.

           6. Choose OK to return to the Envelope dialog box.

           7. Choose the Add To Document button.

              Note: Steps 1 through 7 change the envelope settings for the

              current envelope only. To make this change the default

              envelope setting for future envelopes, continue with the

              following steps.

           8. From the Format menu, choose Style.

           9. Choose the Organizer button.

          10. The window on the left shows the styles for the current

              document. The window on the right shows the styles available

              in NORMAL.DOT (or the desired template). If it does not,

              choose NORMAL.DOT (or the desired template) from the Styles

              Available In list.

          11. Select the Envelope Address style from the current document

              (left Window) and choose the Copy button. Choose Yes when

              Word asks if you want to replace the current style.

          12. Select the Envelope Return style from the current document

              (left Window) and choose the Copy button. Choose Yes when

              Word asks if you want to replace the current style.

          13. Choose the Close button.

          You can close the document without saving changes (if you wish).

          The changes will now remain permanent for future envelopes.

          This method retains all font attributes and the position on page

          (from left, from top). However, you can't use this method to set

          language formatting, numbering, bullets, borders, or frame

          attributes other than position on envelope. (You can use a

          combination of this method AND the "Format Style" method

          described in the "More Information" section at the end of this

          article to achieve most of the formatting you may need.)

Method 2: Create a custom envelope template by formatting a document with a

          custom paper size (for example, choose Page Setup from the Format

          menu, select the Paper Size tab, and set Paper Size to Envelope

          #10).

Method 3: Create a macro to modify the formatting once the envelope is

          added to a document.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Because of a problem in Word 6.0 and 6.0a, changing the Envelope Address or

Envelope Return style by choosing Style from the Format menu does not work

as expected. However, this method will successfully change some attributes.

Below is an outline of the procedure and a section that describes which

attributes are and are not retained.

Format Style Method

------------------

1. From the Format menu, choose Style.

2. In the Styles list, choose the Envelope Address or Envelope Return

   style.

3. Choose the Modify button.

4. Select the Add To Template check box to add the style change to the

   template.

5. Choose the Format button.

6. Choose the style attribute you want to change.

7. Choose the OK button to return to the Modify Style dialog box.

8. Choose the Close button.

The style has now been modified. The changes will remain permanent for

future envelopes, with the exception of certain attributes. Below is a list

of the style attributes thatare and  are not retained when you use the

"Format Style Method."

Linked Word Text Truncated on Right

Article ID: Q115261

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you paste link a Word 6.0 document object into another application

such as Write or Microsoft Excel 5.0, the linked object displays with a

fixed 6-inch width. If the text that is linked is a paragraph, the text

wraps correctly within the 6 inches. However, if the text that is linked is

in a large table, text in the right column is truncated.

The container application does not allow you to adjust the size of the

object or crop the object to display the truncated text nor does adjusting

the margins affect the display of the truncated text.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

How to Save a Multilevel List Format with Macro Recorder

Article ID: Q115262

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

- Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When you create a custom multilevel list (using the Bullets And Numbering

command from the Format menu) in Word 6.0 or 6.0a, you cannot make the

resulting format the default for use in other Word documents. The Bullets

And Numbering command in Word creates a document-only format.

To store the multilevel list format you created so you can quickly apply

the format to future documents, use the Macro Recorder in Word.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Custom formatting (that is, manual formatting or applying styles) for your

multilevel lists should be applied AFTER the multilevel list format has

been applied.

To record the macro, do the following:

 1. Plan the formatting sequence in advance. Run through a practice setup

    and write down the steps for creating the multilevel format desired.

    This will ensure that no unnecessary steps are recorded and ensures the

    macro's efficiency in later use.

 2. Open a new document based on the Normal template.

 3. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

 4. Choose the Record button.

 5. Give your macro a name and choose OK. (Note: You can also assign the

    macro to a toolbar, menu, or keyboard combination before choosing OK.)

 6. From the Format menu, choose Bullets And Numbering.

 7. Select the Multilevel tab and select one of the predefined formats

    closest to the one desired.

 8. Choose the Modify button.

 9. Make the necessary modifications to each of the levels for the custom

    multilevel format.

10. Once all the levels are modified as desired, choose OK.

11. Stop the Macro Recorder by choosing Macro from the Tools menu and

    choosing the Stop Recording button, or by choosing the Stop button on

    the Macro Record Toolbar.

    The macro is now finished and can be used to format multilevel

    numbering with a custom format.

How to Number Table Cells Continuously

Article ID: Q115267

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Word 6.0 and 6.0a, if you select a table and apply number formatting to

the table cells, you have the option to number across rows or down columns,

as shown in the following examples. (This functionality differs from Word

2.x.) To number table cells continuously, use one of the methods provided

in the "More Information" section of this article.

Example: Number Across Rows is selected:

   ---------------------------------------------

   | 1. Word  | 2. Excel    | 3. Power Point   |

   ---------------------------------------------

   | 1. Works | 2. Access   | 3. Fox Pro       |

   ---------------------------------------------

   | 1. DOS   | 2. Windows  | 3. NT            |

   ---------------------------------------------

Example: Number Down Columns is selected:

   ---------------------------------------------

   | 1. Word  | 1. Excel    | 1. Power Point   |

   ---------------------------------------------

   | 2. Works | 2. Access   | 2. Fox Pro       |

   ---------------------------------------------

   | 3. DOS   | 3. Windows  | 3. NT            |

   ---------------------------------------------

MORE INFORMATION

================

You can number table cells continuously, as shown in the following example

using one of the methods described below:

   ---------------------------------------------

   | 1. Word  | 2. Excel    | 3. Power Point   |

   ---------------------------------------------

   | 4. Works | 5. Access   | 6. Fox Pro       |

   ---------------------------------------------

   | 7. DOS   | 8. Windows  | 9. NT            |

   ---------------------------------------------

Method 1: Individually select each row or column of the table and change

          the Start At number. For example:

          a. Select the first row and apply the desired number format

             using the Numbering toolbar or by selecting Bullets And

             Numbering from the Format menu.

          b. Select the second row, choose Bullets And Numbering from the

             Format menu, choose Modify, and change the Start At number to

             the desired number.

          c. Select subsequent rows and repeat step b for each.

Method 2: Convert the table to text and number the cells statically, as

          follows:

          a. Select the table or rows of a table that are to be numbered.

             (Make a note of the number of columns that make up the rows.)

          b. Click the Numbering button on the toolbar.

          c. Select Number Across Rows and choose OK.

          d. While the rows are still selected, choose Convert Table To

             Text from the Table menu.

          e. Under Separate Text With, select Paragraph Marks and choose

             OK. The text will be separated into individual paragraphs and

             highlighted.

           f. From the Edit menu, choose Cut.

          g. From the Edit menu, choose Paste Special. Select the Paste

             option and under As, select Unformatted Text. Choose OK. This

             will paste the text numbered statically instead of

             dynamically.

          h. Select the numbered paragraphs and choose the Convert Text To

             Table command from the Table menu. In the Convert Text To

             Table dialog box, enter the number of original columns from

             step 1 into the Number Of Columns box. Select Paragraphs for

             the Separate Text At option. Choose OK.

Word Basic Error 504 Using PackRat 5.0 Print Merge Command

Article ID: Q115268

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When doing a mail merge using Word 6.0 or 6.0a and PackRat 5.0, you may

receive the following error:

   WordBasic Error 504

   Window does not exist

This error does not occur when doing a print merge in Word 2.x for Windows.

CAUSE

=====

When doing a merge using PackRat 5.0, PackRat first examines the mail merge

main document and removes any attachments using a macro called PRMERGE.

When it doesn't find any attachments, it generates the above error and does

not consider the current active document a mail merge main document.

STATUS

======

Polaris is aware of the problem with the PRMERGE macro and plans to release

an update in their next patch release. For more information on or

availability of this patch disk, please contact Polaris by calling

(619) 592-7400.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Create an empty datafile and attach it to the document so it is a

          mail merge main document.

Method 2: Use ODBC to merge with PackRat 5.0. The PackRat files are based

          on dBASE. Make sure Confirm Conversions is checked when selecting

          the data source. In the Confirm Data Source dialog box, select

          "dBase files via ODBC" then choose OK.

TOC Shows Backslash Instead of Quotation Mark

Article ID: Q115269

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

- Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-----------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you create a table of contents entry field (that is, a TC field) that

contains quoted material at the end of the TC field, the table of contents

shows the entry concluding with a backslash (\) rather than a quotation

mark as its final character.

This behavior occurs when the Replace Straight Quotes With Smart Quotes

option is not enabled.

For example, the following item in the document

   Use of the Phrase "Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet"

appears in the TC field as

   {TC "Use of the Phrase \"Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet\" "}

and appears in the table of contents as:

   Use of the Phrase "Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet\

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Place a period or a nonbreaking space between the final two quotation

marks. (To create a nonbreaking space, press CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR.)

   {TC "Use of the Phrase \"Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet\"."}

   {TC "Use of the Phrase \"Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet\"<nb space>"}

MORE INFORMATION

================

The backslashes in the field indicate to Word that the quotation marks are

to appear in the table of contents and that they do not indicate the end of

the material. If the backslashes are not present, the text that appears in

the table of contents ends with the second quotation marks. In the above

example,

   Use of the Phrase

would appear in the table of contents.

Replacing Text with Drawing Object Results in Hang

Article ID: Q115270

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 or 6.0a for Windows, when you replace a footnote text entry

with a drawing object using a Clipboard entry, you receive the following

error message:

   You cannot put drawing objects into a text box, callout, annotation,

   footnote, endnote, or macro.

After you choose OK and cancel the Replace dialog box, if you choose Undo

Typing In Footnote from the Edit menu, Word hangs (stops responding).

CAUSE

=====

When you replace text with Clipboard contents, Word deletes the text and

then inserts the Clipboard contents. When the replace does not occur, the

text remains deleted. There is no "Undo" option for this action. Choosing

Undo Typing In Footnote causes an endless loop when Word tries to undo

something that is not there.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 and 6.0a for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here

in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Two Capitals (e.g., "PCs") Changed to Initial Capped ("Pcs")

Article ID: Q115271

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You type a word that begins with two uppercase letters, followed by a

lowercase letter or letters, and press the SPACEBAR, and Word changes your

typing to an initial capped word. For example, you intend to type "PCs" and

Word changes your typing to "Pcs".

CAUSE

=====

You have the AutoCorrect option "Correct TWo INitial CApitals" turned on.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: After Word changes ("corrects") your typing, choose Undo from the

          Edit menu or click the Undo button on the Standard toolbar. Use

          this method if the conflict is rare.

Method 2: Add the word you don't want AutoCorrect to correct to your

          AutoCorrect entry list. Use this method if the conflict is

          frequent. For example, if you don't want Word to correct "PCs" to

          "Pcs", but you want to leave the "Correct TWo INitial CApitals"

          option turned on, do the following:

          a. From the Tools menu, choose AutoCorrect.

          b. In the Replace box, type "Pcs" (without the quotation marks).

          c. In the With box, type  "PCs".

          AutoCorrect first checks the replacement list (the Replace/With

          entries). If the correction is in the replacement list, no

          AutoCorrect rules (the check box options in the AutoCorrect

          dialog box), such as "Correct TWo INitial CApitals," are

          applied. This protocol guarantees that AutoCorrect doesn't

          "correct" something you in fact wanted left as you typed it.

Method 3: Turn the AutoCorrect "Correct TWo INitial CApitals" option off by

          choosing AutoCorrect from the Tools menu, and clearing the check

          box.

General Protection Fault at Module EHNWNNET.DRV

Article ID: Q115272

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following error message can be generated on a PC that contains a 5250

emulation board for communication to an IBM AS/400:

   MSWord caused a General Protection Fault in module EHNWNNET.DRV.

STATUS

======

IBM is aware of this error and has available a Program Temporary Fix (PTF

SF14263) for the AS/400. IBM also offers two documents, II06590 and

II05474, which can be downloaded through the IBM ECS network.

NOTE: PTFs are dated, and therefore the PTF number may change. If this is

the case, you should get the updated PTF from IBM.

The IBM Technical Support number is (800) 772-2227. The IBM Customer

Service number is (800) 426-2468.

WORKAROUND

==========

Be sure that any memory being used by the 5250 is excluded both in the

memory manager loaded in your CONFIG.SYS file (EMM386.EXE, 386MAX, and so

forth) and with an EMMExclude statement in the [386ENH] section of your

SYSTEM.INI file.

MORE INFORMATION

================

If DRWATSON.EXE was running at the time of the general protection (GP)

fault, the entry in the DRWATSON.LOG will read:

   WINWORD had an 'Exceed Segment Bounds (Read)' fault at EHNWNNET 3:02d6.

Unchanged Mail Merge Main Document Prompts to Save Changes

Article ID: Q115273

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When closing a Word for Windows mail merge main document, you may be

prompted to save the changes even though you made no changes to the

document.

CAUSE

=====

In Word 6.0, this is by design. This prompt occurs because Word

automatically updates MERGEFIELD fields when it opens a mail merge

document. When Word updates the MERGEFIELDs, the file is marked as "dirty"

or changed.

RESOLUTION

==========

This could become an issue when you open and close mail merge main

documents using a macro. To avoid the display of the File Close dialog box,

modify any FileClose commands to read:

   fileclose 1  'save the changes without prompting the user

-or-

   fileclose 2  'Close without saving the changes

Removing Bullets and Numbering Strips Manual Paragraph Indents

Article ID: Q115296

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you remove bullets or numbering formats from paragraphs, Word also

removes any manual (direct) paragraph formatting for left, first line, and

hanging indentation formatting for those paragraphs (that is, Word resets

the paragraphs to their original left-indention properties, as defined by

their styles).

CAUSE

=====

This behavior is by design.

WORKAROUND

==========

To maintain the desired indentations after removing bullets and numbering,

define the desired left indentations as part of the style of the paragraph.

Can't Find Text with Wildcard (*)

Article ID: Q115297

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 for Windows, when you search for a character using the wildcard

character (*), Word may not find any characters. Instead, you receive the

message:

   Word has finished searching the document. The search

   item was not found.

Please note that to find text with the *, the Use Pattern Matching option

must be selected. However, this error sometimes incorrectly occurs when Use

Pattern Matching is selected.

CAUSE

=====

This error occurs when you use key combinations to choose the Find Next

button. It does not occur when you use the mouse.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for

Windows. The problem was correct in Word 6.0a for Windows.

Removing Unwanted Class Names from the Insert Object List

Article ID: Q115337

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When you upgrade applications or remove applications from your system, old

object types often remain in the list of objects in the Insert Object

dialog box. You can remove these unwanted object types from the list by

using the Microsoft Windows Regedit (Registration Info Editor) program.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To run Regedit, choose Run from the File menu in Windows Program Manager.

In the Command Line box, type "regedit" (without the quotation marks) and

choose OK.

When you run Regedit, you will see a list of installed file types. Select

the item you want to remove and press the DELETE key. (If you delete the

wrong item, close Regedit without saving changes and run it again.)

NOTE: This list contains more entries than are found in the Insert Object

dialog box. Do not delete any entries you do not recognize. Doing so may

impair or impede the ability of Windows to perform object linking and

embedding (OLE).

MacroCopy Without Destination Template Specified Causes GPF

Article ID: Q115338

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A general protection (GP) fault occurs when you run a macro that contains a

MacroCopy statement with incorrect syntax. If you precede the Macro2 (new

macro) name with a colon but you do not specify the optional Template2

(destination template) argument, the GP fault occurs.

For example, this statement will result in a GP fault:

   MacroCopy "Normal:TestMacro", ":TestMacroCopy"

CAUSE

=====

The correct syntax when you omit the optional template name is to omit the

colon.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you don't specify a source or destination template, the Normal (or

global) template is assumed. To copy the macro to the global template

without specifying "Global," omit both the destination and the colon, as in

the following example:

   MacroCopy "Normal:TestMacro" "TestMacroCopy"

MORE INFORMATION

================

You can use the MacroCopy command to copy a macro (Macro1) from one open

template (Template1) to another (Template2) or from one macro name (Macro1)

to another (Macro2) within the same template. The syntax is as follows:

   MacroCopy "[Template1:]Macro1", "[Template2:]Macro2"

The second parameter specifies the destination for the copy. In the

destination parameter, both a destination template and destination macro

name can be specified, separated by a colon. When the destination template

is omitted, the global (Normal.dot) template is assumed.

Header Appears to Take Up Entire Page

Article ID: Q115407

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Text in the header of your document appears to overprint the text of the

document, as if it were a watermark.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs when you choose Header and Footer from the View menu

and use the vertical ruler to drag the bottom margin of the header to the

top margin of the header. This method of changing the bottom margin of the

header can incorrectly cause the header to expand to the footer and give

the top margin of the document a negative value.

Depending on the size of the header before dragging the bottom margin, you

may have to drag the bottom margin more than once before the behavior

results.

The first time you drag the bottom margin of the header to the top of the

header, the top margin of your document is adjusted to a small value, such

as .38 inch. The second time, the top margin of your document is adjusted

to a negative number, such as -.08 inch. Because the top margin is very

small, this makes the top margin into an absolute margin.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 and 6.0a for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here

in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you have unintentionally expanded your header, you can readjust the page

size for your document by choosing Page Setup from the File Menu, and

resetting the top margin to a positive number (such as 1 inch).

Text Disappears When Using the Fax Wizard

Article ID: Q115409

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use the Fax Wizard, if your fax message exceeds the set cell

height of 300 points, text that does not fit in the cell disappears.

CAUSE

======

This behavior is by design in the Fax Wizard. The message area of the Fax

Wizard is actually the row of a table. The height of this row is set to

exactly 300 points. Any text that exceeds the row height disappears below

the bottom of the row. (To check the row height specified, place the

insertion point in the message area and choose Cell Height And Width from

the Table menu.)

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Change the cell height:

          a. Open a new Fax Wizard document.

          b. Place the insertion point in the message area (the cell below

             "Remarks").

          c. From the Table menu, choose Cell Height And Width. Select the

             Row tab.

          d. Change the Height of Row 1 to Auto. Type in your message.

             When your text reaches the end of page 1, the border

             formatting will not be correct. There will be a border on the

             bottom of page 1 but no border on the top of page 2.

          e. To correct the border problem, choose Borders And Shading

             from the Format menu and set the appropriate border.

Method 2: Delete the cell and type the message outside of a table:

          a. Open a new Fax Wizard document.

          b. Place the insertion point in the message area (the cell below

             "Remarks").

          c. From the Table menu, choose Select Row.

          d. From the Table menu, choose Delete Row. (At this point, you

             could save this file as a template to be used for faxes with

             large messages.)

          e. Type your text. Since the text is not in a table, it will

             flow correctly.

Inserting Caption Appears to Hang Word

Article ID: Q115411

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you insert a caption in a document that already has several captions,

Word may appear to hang. The caption appears in the document, but the

Caption dialog box remains on screen (with no hourglass or message that

indicates a process is taking place).

CAUSE

=====

This behavior is by design in Word 6.0 for Windows. When you insert a

caption, Word updates all the other captions in the document so that it can

insert the new caption with the correct number. The more captions in the

document, the longer this operation will take. Word does not give any

indication that it is updating.

WORKAROUND

==========

Instead of inserting a caption number by choosing Caption from the Insert

menu, use the following procedure to copy and paste an existing caption

number and update the number.

1. Select an existing caption. Be sure to include the paragraph mark.

2. From the Edit menu, choose Copy.

3. Place the insertion point where you want the new caption to appear.

4. From the Edit menu, choose Paste.

The new caption appears, but shows the wrong number. To update the caption

number for this and all the other captions:

1. From the Edit menu, choose Select All.

2. Press F9.

This will take the same amount of time as inserting the caption from the

menu. The update status will be displayed on the status bar.

You may instead, set Word to update all fields in the document when it

prints:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2. Select the Print tab.

3. Select Update Fields (place an X in the box.)

If you use this setting it is not necessary to select the entire document

and press F9.

Pleading Wizard Font Point Size Is Too Small or Too Large

Article ID: Q115413

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Pleading Wizard allows you to select a base font but does not prompt

you for a point size during the creation of the pleading. In the finished

pleading, the font may appear to be too small or too large.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior is by design. The Pleading Wizard adjusts the font size to

accommodate the page margins, line spacing, and number of lines per page.

WORKAROUND

==========

If the font point size is too small, decrease the top and bottom margins.

If the size is too large, increase the top and bottom margins.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Pleading Wizard determines the point size of the font by the settings

for the top and bottom margins, the line spacing, and how many numbered

lines you specify during wizard operation. The font point size is

calculated each time the wizard is used.

The margins determine the amount of vertical text area (page height less

the top and bottom margins) that can be used to enter text. The line

spacing and the total lines to be numbered are divided into this vertical

text area to determine an appropriate font size.

Data Form Adds Blank or Empty Records

Article ID: Q115606

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A blank line and an empty record are created when you edit a comma-

delimited data file using the Data Form button on the Database toolbar.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior occurs when

 - You use a comma-delimited data file that contains an empty paragraph

   below the last record.

   -and-

 - You choose the Add New button before you choose the OK button in the

   Data Form dialog box.

The new record is added below the empty paragraph mark, leaving an empty

paragraph above the new entry and adding an empty record with commas and

quotation marks denoting each field.

If the data file contains an empty paragraph and you add the new record

without choosing the Add New button immediately before choosing OK, then

the empty record does not appear below the new record. The blank paragraph

still appears above the new record.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Before adding records using the Data Form button, remove the final (blank)

paragraph mark in the document, and do not choose the Add New button before

choosing the OK button in the Data Form dialog box.

Automatically Placing Form Field Results in Other Places

Article ID: Q115607

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes three methods you can use to automatically insert

the result of one form field into another area of a form.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Method 1

--------

The following macro can be used as an on-exit macro for the first form

field called TEXT1 so that the information entered into this field will

automatically appear in the form field called TEXT2. Alternatively, the

macro can be used as an on-entry macro for the second form field called

TEXT2. When you tab to this second field, the result of the first form

field is placed automatically as the field result of this second field.

   Sub Main

   SetFormResult "text2", GetFormResult$ ("text1")

   End Sub

In the above example, "text1" is the bookmark that represents the field

into which you are entering the data, and "text2" is the bookmark

representing the field into which you want the data to be inserted

automatically. You can substitute different bookmarks that are defined in

the Text Form Field Options dialog box.

In the Text Form Field Options dialog box for the field in which the data

will automatically appear, clear the Fill-in Enabled check box to minimize

the chance of accidentally modifying the field result.

Method 2

--------

You can also repeat this form field entry using a reference field:

1. Position your insertion point where you want the data to be repeated.

   Note: The document (or section where the insertion point is) must be

   unprotected to insert a field.

2. From the Insert menu, choose Field and select REF from the Field Name

   list.

3. In the Field Code box, insert the bookmark name (for example, text1)

   that represents the field into which you are entering the data. Choose

   OK.

   The REF field must be updated to display and print the text. An update

   will include all fields such as DATE and TIME. There are two ways to

   update fields in the protected area of your form:

   - If the form will be a printed form, you can have the REF fields update

     when you print the document. From the Tools menu, choose Options,

     select the Print tab, and select the Update Fields check box. When you

     select this option, fields may not update on the screen, but Word will

     update them properly when you print the document.

     - If you need the fields to be updated on the screen as you fill out

       the form, you can create an exit macro for your form field. For

       example:

        Sub MAIN

         ScreenUpdating 0

         FilePrintPreview

         ClosePreview

        End Sub

       NOTE: Since this exit macro may cause a slight delay on some

       machines, you may opt for selecting the Update Fields on printing

       option if this will be a printed form.

Method 3

--------

You can also place the REF field in an unprotected section of your form

document. If you choose this option, the macro above will update the fields

in the unprotected section or you can create a separate exit macro to go to

that specific field and update it.

To place REF fields in unprotected sections of your document:

1. Insert continuous section breaks above and/or below the REF fields.

2. From the Tools menu, choose Protect Document.

3. Choose the Sections button.

4. Select the sections you want to have protected. Choose OK.

For more information on using a REF field to reference a list box, query in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base on the following words:

Bar Codes Print Incorrectly on an Okidata Laser Printer

Article ID: Q115608

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Bar codes may print incorrectly when you use an Okidata laser printer

driver. This behavior occurs when the line of text beneath the bar code

(normally the formal name) is shorter than the bar code and the ZIP Code is

nine digits.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Okidata Laser Printers.

The problem has been reported with the 800, 820, 830, and the Okidata Laser

Line 6.0. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Use five-digit ZIP Codes with the Okidata printers.

Method 2: Add hidden or extra characters to the line of text directly below

          the bar code.

Method 3: Use a Hewlett-Packard (HP) printer driver.

Inserting Object Results in Packager Icon or Error Message

Article ID: Q115611

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you insert an object created from an application that is not an OLE

server--such as Microsoft Publisher 2.0, Microsoft Works 3.0, or Microsoft

Access 1.1--the object displays as a packager icon or an icon representing

the server application.

In some cases, when you create an object from a file, you may get the

following error message and no object will be inserted.

     <application name> does not support OLE 'insert' commands.  Use

     copy to Clipboard functions of <application name> instead.

CAUSE

=====

The entire document is stored as data, but the icons act as presentation

placeholders for the object. In many cases, the metafile representation

would not provide a meaningful result in the client application, so the

icon is used instead.

RESOLUTION

==========

Open the file with its creator application, select and copy the desired

data, switch to Word and paste. If you choose Paste Special from the Edit

menu, you may be able to Paste Link. This functionality will be determined

by the server application.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Create New tab in the Insert Object dialog box lists all the object

types that are supported by OLE or DDE server applications. The resulting

object that appears in your Word document may vary depending upon the type

of server that creates it. Some servers allow you to see the actual

metafile representation. Other servers display the object only as an icon

of the server application or as a packager icon. If the information

displays as an icon, you can launch the server application by double-

clicking the icon.

If, when you double-click this icon, you see the following message: "No

application is associated with this file," this means that Windows could

not find the server application. In this case, check the Extensions section

of the WIN.INI file to be sure the file is associated with the appropriate

server application or check to ensure that the server application is

available on your system.

New Template Location Not Updated in Document Statistics

Article ID: Q115714

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you create a document and then move the document or its template to

another location, Word for Windows does not update the location of the

template in the Document Statistics dialog box. If you choose Summary Info

from the File menu and then choose the Statistics button, Word still lists

the previous location of the template file.

By contrast, Word correctly updates the location in the File Templates

dialog box.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To update the Template location in the Document Statistics dialog box,

attach a different template to your document, save the document, reattach

the original template (from the new location), and then save the document

again. (To attach a template, choose Templates from the File menu, choose

the Attach button, select the template, and then choose OK.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When you move a document and template to a different location, Word

automatically detects and records the new location of the template, even

though Word fails to update the Template reference in the Document

Statistics dialog box.

All Workstations Use Same Word Preference and Option Settings

Article ID: Q115715

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

After you install Word for Windows on a server, all or some of the

workstations may not use the option or preference settings you selected

during Setup. Instead, these workstations use the same set of preferences,

such as the Recently Used File (MRU) list on the File menu.

CAUSE

=====

A WINWORD.OPT or NORMAL.DOT file exists in the network server program

directory instead of the user directory that you specified during the

workstation Setup.

Word (not Word Setup) creates a WINWORD.OPT file in the server program

directory if the network administrator (or someone who has read, write, and

create privileges in the Word program directory on the server) runs Word

from the server installation before running a Workstation Setup to

install Word on the workstation. Before you run the Workstation Setup,

no WINWORD6.INI file exists in the Windows program directory, so when you

quit Word the first time, it stores the WINWORD.OPT file on the server in

the Word program directory (the default location).

Once a WINWORD.OPT file exists on the server, Word uses this file every

time you start Word from any workstation, even if you later run a

Workstation Setup and create a WINWORD6.INI file that points to another

WINWORD.OPT location. This happens because when you start Word, Word checks

the program directory first and, if it finds a WINWORD.OPT file, uses that

file and does not read your WINWORD6.INI file to find the correct location.

Infrequently, this problem also occurs if you ran the Workstation Setup

at your workstation while you were running Windows from a different

location (that is, from a location other than the one specified in your

network logon script).

Note: Word Setup does not create a WINWORD.OPT file. Word creates

WINWORD.OPT the first time you run the program. Therefore, this is a

network installation issue rather than a Word Setup issue.

RESOLUTION

==========

Perform all three of the following steps to resolve this problem and

restore each user's preference and option settings in Word:

1. Quit all instances of Word running from the server. Rename or delete the

   WINWORD.OPT and NORMAL.DOT files in the network server directory.

2. Make sure the Word program directory on the network server and all files

   in that directory are flagged as read-only and shareable. You should

   not have write privileges in this server directory before you perform

   the Workstation Setup at the workstation.

3. Make sure you run a Workstation installation of Word at every

   workstation where the user has administrative rights (that is, full

   access to the Word program directory on the server). This process

   creates a WINWORD6.INI file that contains the correct location for your

   user WINWORD.OPT file.

MORE INFORMATION

================

This section contains a description of the Word settings files

(WINWORD6.INI, WINWORD.OPT, and NORMAL.DOT) and a discussion of the network

installation of Word as it pertains to the problem addressed in this

article.

Settings Files Summary

----------------------

WINWORD6.INI     Primarily contains paths to filenames. Setup installs this

                 file in the user's Windows program directory, or in the

                 Windows user directory if you are running Windows from a

                 network server.

WINWORD.OPT      A binary file that contains Word settings, including the

                 Recently Used File (MRU) list, most of the settings in the

                 Tools Options dialog box, and default bullet formats. Word

                 (not Setup) creates this file the first time you run the

                 program, and places it in your user Word directory. Word

                 stores the location of your WINWORD.OPT file in the

                 WINWORD6.INI path as the INI-PATH setting.

NORMAL.DOT       The default document template that stores macros,

                 toolbars, menus, keystrokes, AutoText and AutoCorrect

                 entries. This file should be located in the user's

                 TEMPLATE directory and is created after the user makes a

                 change to one of the items mentioned above. This file is

                 not created by Setup. It is referenced in the WINWORD6.INI

                 by the USER-DOT-PATH line.

Overview: Network Setup of Word

-------------------------------

Note: This discussion assumes that you have a working knowledge of network

operations and terminology. For network-specific information, see your

network documentation.

To install Word so it runs from a network file server, go to a workstation

and connect to the file server. Run the administrator's installation of

Word (type "setup /a" at the command line). When Setup prompts you for the

network directory for the main Word program, specify a path on the file

server. Setup copies all the program files to this location. For more

information about this process, see pages 768 through 770 in the "Microsoft

Word User's Guide."

IMPORTANT: DO NOT RUN WORD AT THIS POINT! If you do, the problems described

at the beginning of this article may occur. Before you run Word, you must

first perform the following two steps:

1. Set the access privileges to read-only and shared for the server

   directories in which you installed Word. Refer to your MS-DOS or

   network operating system documentation for more information.

2. Run the workstation installation of Word at each workstation. This

   registers the Word program with your local Windows installation and

   creates your WINWORD6.INI file. If you do not run a workstation

   installation before you run Word from the network server, Word runs,

   but some operations do not function correctly, such as the spelling

   checker, grammar checking, and object linking and embedding (OLE ).

Note: If you are running Windows from a network server, the first

workstation installation of Word makes all the necessary Windows-level

changes. This means you need all access privileges to the shared Windows

program directory, and that directory must not be read-only.

21st User Cannot Open Shared, Read-Only File on Novell 3.11

Article ID: Q115717

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run Word for Windows over a network, the following error message

occurs if you are the twenty-first or subsequent user to access a read-only

file, such as NORMAL.DOT or an add-in program located in the shared

WINWORD\STARTUP subdirectory.

   Word cannot open this document template.

If you choose OK, Word continues without the template or add-in.

CAUSE

=====

The STORAGE.DLL file, supplied with Word, limits to 20 the number of users

who can open a single read-only file at the same time. STORAGE.DLL provides

OLE 2 (object linking and embedding) functionality.

This problem occurs only with read-only files; it does not occur with read-

write files.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. An application note that corrects this problem is now

available from Microsoft Product Support Services. The application note is

titled, "WW1116: OLE Version 2.02". You can obtain this Application Note

from the following sources:

 - CompuServe, GEnie, and Microsoft OnLine

 - The Internet (Microsoft anonymous ftp server)

If you have not used the appnote to update to OLE version 2.02, you can use

either of the following methods to enable more than 20 users to use a

file at the same time.

Method 1: Change the attributes of the files to read/write. With this

          method, the first user has read/write privileges to the file.

          Word prompts the second and subsequent users to make a copy of

          the file.

Method 2: Change the attributes of the files to read/write, as described in

          Method 1, then add a Write Reservation Password to the files to

          prevent unauthorized changes to the file. (To add a Write

          Reservation password, choose Save As from the File menu and

          choose the Options button. Type a password in the Write

          Reservation Password box and then choose OK.)

Microsoft Access Icon Active After Inserting Database in Word

Article ID: Q115718

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If Microsoft Access is running when you insert a Microsoft Access database

in a Word for Windows document, the Microsoft Access program icon is active

instead of Word after the database appears in Word. You must manually

reactivate Word. This happens only when you use the Database command on the

Insert menu to insert the Microsoft Access database; it does not happen if

you insert the database using the Mail Merge Helper.

This does not happen if Microsoft Access is not already running.

CAUSE

=====

When you insert a Microsoft Access database using dynamic data exchange

(DDE), Word activates or starts Microsoft Access, inserts the database, and

then closes Microsoft Access. When Microsoft Access is already running,

Word activates the application correctly but fails to restore Word

afterwards. This only happens when you insert the database using DDE; it

does not occur when you use ODBC (Word uses DDE by default).

Note: Word activates Microsoft Access so you can respond to any error

messages or prompts from that application.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

You can click in the Word window to manually reactivate it after you insert

a Microsoft Access database. Use one of the following methods to ensure

that Word restores itself as the active application:

Method 1: Use ODBC to insert the Microsoft Access database so Word remains

          active throughout the operation. Use the following procedure to

          insert a database using ODBC:

          a. From the Insert menu, choose Database, and then choose the

             Get Data button.

          b. In the Open Data Source dialog box, select the Confirm

             Conversions option so an X appears in the check box.

          c. Select the database and then choose OK.

          d. In the Confirm Data Source dialog box, select MS Access

             Databases via ODBC (*.mdb) or MS Access 2.0 Databases via

             ODBC (*.mdb) and then choose OK.

Method 2: To use DDE, close Microsoft Access before you insert the database

          in Word.

"Invalid Measurement" Error Using Letter Wizard

Article ID: Q115719

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you create a letter using the Letter Wizard (LETTER.WIZ), the

following error may occur after you choose the Finish button, and Word for

Windows does not create a letter:

   Microsoft Word Err=1051

   This is not a valid measurement.

Note: This error occurs regardless of which type of letter you select

(prewritten business, business, or personal).

CAUSE

=====

This error occurs if you type an invalid or non-numeric value when the

Letter Wizard asked you how much space the letterhead design requires. (The

wizard prompts you for this information only if you select the Letterhead

Stationery option when the Letter Wizard asks which type of paper you will

print the letter on.)

The error message is confusing because it does not occur immediately after

you type the incorrect value; instead it occurs after you choose the Finish

button at the end of the wizard.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Word cancels the letter creation operation after this error occurs, so you

must run the Letter Wizard again to create your letter. Be sure to type a

valid measurement when the wizard asks you how much space the letterhead

design requires. The following are sample valid and invalid entries:

   Valid (correct)      Invalid (incorrect)

   ---------------      -------------------

   2"                   2 in.

   5                    five

   4.25                 4 1/4

TC and XE Fields Lose Spaces When Converted to RTF

Article ID: Q115720

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOM

=======

TC and XE fields in a Word 6.0 for Windows document will lose the initial

and final spaces of the field if the document is saved in Rich Text Format.

For example, this field

   { xe "Birds of South America" }

will be converted to the following:

   {xe "Birds of South America"}

Further, if there are no quotation marks surrounding the text of the entry,

Word will remove spaces in the text and place quotation marks around the

newly concatenated text. For example, the entry

   { tc This is the first chapter }

will change to the following when the document is saved as Rich Text Format

and re-opened in Word:

   {tc "Thisisthefirstchapter"}

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

The initial and final spaces that are lost in the conversion do not pose a

problem; the fields work the same without the beginning and ending spaces.

Put quotation marks around the text of the TC or XE fields.

MORE INFORMATION

================

TC and XE fields require quotation marks around the text of the entry to be

recognized properly in a Word document. If there aren't any quotation

marks, Word will use only the first word in the table of contents or index.

For example, the entry

   { tc This is the first chapter }

will appear like this in the table of contents:

   This...........................1

Word Screen Elements Appear Blank or Inappropriately Activated

Article ID: Q115721

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Case 1: REC, MRK, EXT, OVR, WPH on Status Bar Appear Activated

--------------------------------------------------------------

In Word for Windows, the REC, MRK, EXT, OVR, and WPH options on the status

bar may appear activated even when they are not. If you turn the option on

or off, the color of its indicator does not change on the status bar. For

example, if you press INSERT to toggle between overtype and insertion mode,

the OVR indicator on the status bar does not change color.

Case 2: Blank Tab Alignment Button

----------------------------------

The Tab Alignment button, located on the left end of the horizontal ruler,

appears blank, and any custom tab stops on the ruler appear unavailable or

gray. You can still toggle between the different tab alignment settings by

clicking the Tab Alignment button, but no indicator appears on the button.

CAUSE

=====

In Windows Control Panel, under the Colors icon, the colors you select for

certain settings cause options to appear blank or activated, even when they

are not. For example, if you select the same color for a Word element and

its background, that item seems to disappear; or if you use the same color

for both the activated and inactivated state of a Word element, that item

appears activated, even when it is not activated.

Case 1: REC, MRK, EXT, OVR, WPH on Status Bar Appear Activated

--------------------------------------------------------------

If you choose a dark color for the Button Shadow setting in Windows Control

Panel, under the Colors icon, Word uses the dark color to display the REC,

MRK, EXT, OVR, and WPH options in the status bar, which makes them appear

to be activated.

Word uses the Button Shadow color to display inactive options and uses the

Button Text color to display active options on the status bar.

Case 2: Blank Tab Alignment Button

----------------------------------

If you choose light gray for the Window Frame setting in Windows Control

Panel, under the Colors icon, Word uses the same color for the Tab

Alignment button and its label, so the button appears blank.

Word uses the Window Frame color to display the tab indicator on the Tab

Alignment button and uses the Button Face color to display the Tab

Alignment button itself.

RESOLUTION

==========

Select a set of predefined colors from the Color Scheme list in the Control

Panel Color dialog box, or use one of the specific workarounds listed

below.

Case 1: REC, MRK, EXT, OVR, WPH on Status Bar Appear Activated

--------------------------------------------------------------

In Windows Control Panel, under the Colors icon, change the Button Shadow

and Button Text colors so they contrast. For example, if you use light

yellow for the Button Shadow color, use red, black, or dark blue for the

Button Text color.

Case 2: Blank Tab Alignment Button

----------------------------------

In Windows Control Panel, under the Colors icon, change the Windows Frame

color to black or another dark color such as dark blue.

Merge Button Unavailable When All MERGEFIELDs in Text Boxes

Article ID: Q115789

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Merge button in the Mail Merge Helper dialog box is unavailable

(dimmed) when the MERGEFIELD fields are contained in text boxes, headers or

footers in the main document.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Although the Merge button is unavailable when all MERGEFIELDs are

          contained in text boxes, you can process the merge by choosing

          the Merge To New Document or Merge To Printer button on the

          toolbar.

Method 2: Placing at least one field outside of the text box will make the

          Merge button in the Mail Merge Helper available. This field can

          be formatted as hidden if you do not want the result to display

          and print.

Embedded Objects in Table Become Corrupt Saved as Template

Article ID: Q115790

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you create a new template based on a template that contains a graphic

or an embedded object within a table, the new template becomes corrupt.

When the template becomes corrupt, the size of the graphic will usually

change to about 1-inch square and appear blank. If you double-click the

object, Word generates the following error:

   Word cannot edit the Microsoft Word 6.0 Picture.

If you try to change the column width of the table, Word may generate the

following error:

   Word has insufficient memory. You will not be able to undo this action

   once it is completed. Do you want to continue?

Linked objects do not seem to exhibit the same behavior.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Create a new document based on the template that contains the

          graphic object. Make your changes and save the document as a

          template. (To do this, choose Save As from the File menu. From

          the Save File As Type list, select Document Template, then choose

          OK.)

Method 2: Edit the original template. Select the object and press CTRL+F9

          to unlink the field code. This converts the object to a graphic.

          Note: Double-clicking the graphic will activate the Word Picture

          Editor, which converts the graphic back to an object when you

          exit the Picture Editor. You must then reselect the graphic and

          press CTRL+F9 to unlink the field code.

          After making your changes, choose Save As from the File menu and

          save your template under a different name.

Can't Copy Selection to Left of Itself with Drag-and-Drop

Article ID: Q115791

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use your mouse to copy a selection to the left of itself (that is,

using drag-and-drop editing) and the selection is not preceded by a space

or other text, the text is not copied.

(To use your mouse to copy a selection, select the text to be copied, hold

down the CTRL key, point to the selected text, hold down the left mouse

button, drag the selected text to the new location, and release the mouse

button.)

This behavior does not occur when copying a selection:

 - Across applications.

 - That is second in a series on a line.

 - From one line to another line.

 - To the right of a single item selection.

 - If one or more spaces exist before the single item selection.

CAUSE

=====

Word is copying over the selected text instead of copying to the side of

it.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Method 1: Use the Copy and Paste buttons on the toolbar.

Method 2: From the Edit menu, choose Copy, then position your insertion

          point and choose Paste from the Edit menu.

Method 3: Use drag-and-drop editing to copy the text to the right of the

GP Fault Closing Template Attached to Mail Merge Data File

Article ID: Q115834

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A general protection (GP) fault may occur when you close a document based

on a template that is attached to a mail merge data file. In other words,

the GP fault occurs when you close a mail merge main document you created

using a main document template. The GP fault occurs whether you save the

main document or not.

Note: Sometimes, before the GP fault, the following error message occurs:

   An application called via DDE did not respond to the Exit command.

CAUSE

=====

The GP fault occurs if you used DDE (dynamic data exchange) to create the

mail merge data file attachment in the template. The problem occurs

regardless of which main document type you create (namely Form Letters,

Mailing Labels, Envelopes, or Catalog).

The problem does not occur if you used Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) to

attach the data file.

For example, this problem occurs if you attach a Microsoft Excel workbook

or Microsoft Access database as a mail merge data source using DDE.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: When you create a template for a mail merge main document, use

          the following procedure to attach the data file using ODBC

          instead of DDE:

          a. From the Tools menu, choose Mail Merge. If you have not yet

             done so, choose the Create button to designate the template as

             a mail merge main document.

          b. In the Mail Merge Helper dialog box, choose the Get Data

             button. From the menu that appears, choose Open Data Source.

          c. In the Open Data Source dialog box, select the Confirm

             Conversions option so an X appears in the check box.

          d. Select the database and then choose OK.

          e. In the Confirm Data Source dialog box, select the ODBC

             conversion method for your data source. For example, if you

             are attaching a Microsoft Access database, select MS Access

             Databases via ODBC (*.mdb) or MS Access 2.0 Databases via

             ODBC (*.mdb).

          f. Choose OK.

Method 2: If you want to use DDE to attach the data file, you can avoid the

          GP fault problem by closing the DDE channel to the data file

          before you close your Word document. You can add the following

          AutoClose macro to your template to close the channel:

             Sub Main

             MailMergeReset

             End Sub

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 5.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A general protection (GP) fault may occur when you open a Word for Windows

document that contains a linked Microsoft Excel graph if Delrina WinFax Pro

version 4.0 is installed on your computer.

CAUSE

=====

The GP fault occurs if the Microsoft Excel 4.0 macrosheet, named

MSEXCEL4.XLM, exists in your Microsoft Excel XLSTART subdirectory.

MSEXCEL4.XLM is a file that WinFax Pro version 3.0 installs.

STATUS

======

Delrina has confirmed this to be a problem with WinFax Pro 4.0. For more

information, contact Delrina WinFax Pro 4.0 product support at

(416) 443-4390.

STATUS

======

Delrina recommends that you do the following to avoid the GP fault in

The Merge Button in the Mail Merge Helper Not Available

Article ID: Q116044

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You open an existing main document and a data source document, and the

Merge button in the Mail Merge Helper dialog box is dimmed (not available).

CAUSE

======

For the Merge button to be available in Mail Merge Helper, you must

establish a main document and attach a data source. Mail Merge Helper only

recognizes a data source and main document that have been linked by using

the Create and Get Data buttons. This is true even if the main document was

originally created for the data source and the main document was saved as a

normal Word document.

FormatBordersAndShading Won't Change Shading of Mixed Text

Article ID: Q116051

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The WordBasic FormatBordersAndShading command sometimes does not correctly

change the shading of selected paragraphs. It works correctly if all

selected text contains the same shading format. However, if the selected

text contains more than one shading format, the macro command will not

change the shading of the paragraphs.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use the ShadingPattern command instead of FormatBordersAndShading to shade

all selected paragraphs regardless of prior shading formats. For example,

to shade the selected paragraph(s) 30%:

Sub MAIN

ShadingPattern 6

End Sub

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 5.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print from Word for Windows to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskJet

using the DESKJETC.DRV version 3.1 printer driver, the following error

message may occur:

   Scalable Font Initialization Error.

CAUSE

=====

The BulletPresent setting in the [HP DeskJet] section of your WIN.INI file

is incorrect or missing.

RESOLUTION

==========

1. Open your WIN.INI file using Sysedit (System Configuration Editor

   [SYSEDIT.EXE]) or any text editor. (To start Sysedit, use the Run

   command on the File menu in Windows Program Manager. Type "sysedit"

   [without the quotation marks] in the Command Line box and choose OK.)

2. Locate the [HP DeskJet] section.

3. Look for the following line (where <n> is a number):

      BulletPresent=<n>

   If the line exists, change the number <n> to 0 (zero).

   If the line does not exist, type it on a separate line in the

   [HP DeskJet] section, as follows:

      BulletPresent=0

   NOTE: BulletPresent= may also be found in the [STATDLL] section of the

   WIN.INI.

4. Save your WIN.INI file, then exit and restart Windows so the change

   can take effect.

Blue Selection Outline Unavailable for Preset Grid

Article ID: Q116215

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you try to format a table with a border and you choose Grid from the

Presets box, the dialog box selection--that is, the Grid box--should

contain a blue outline, indicating that it is selected. Instead, it

displays a dotted gray border, giving the impression that the option is not

available. (To locate this option, choose Borders And Shading from the

Format menu, and select the Borders tab.)

This behavior does not occur when you use the presets for None or Box.

First Letter of Sentence or Paragraph Not Always Capitalized

Article ID: Q116217

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word does not always capitalize the first letter of a sentence or

paragraph, even when the "Capitalize First Letter of Sentences" option is

turned on under AutoCorrect.

For example, Word does not capitalize a word that appears after two or more

abbreviated letters, like U.S.A., even if the first word after the

abbreviation is in a separate paragraph.

Word may capitalize only the first item in a list series, such as:

   Cat

   dog

   rabbit

CAUSE

=====

This behavior is by design in Word for Windows version 6.0. The AutoCorrect

feature does not interpret abbreviations or short phrases as constituting

sentences.

WORKAROUND

==========

Type the capital letter, or select the first letter and press SHIFT+F3 to

change the capitalization.

How to Sort Table Cells Continuously by Row

Article ID: Q116218

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how to sort from the top left to the bottom right

cell of a table, such as in the following example:

   ---------------------------------------------

   | Access      | DOS      | Excel            |

   ---------------------------------------------

   | Fox Pro     | NT       | Power Point      |

   ---------------------------------------------

   | Windows     | Word     | Works            |

   ---------------------------------------------

To do this, you must first convert the table to text so that Word performs

the sort based on paragraphs.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To perform this type of sort, do the following:

1. Select the table or rows of a table that are to be sorted. (Make a note

   of the number of columns.)

2. From the Table menu, choose Convert Table To Text.

3. Under Separate Text With, select Paragraph Marks, and choose OK.

4. With the paragraphs still selected, choose Sort Text from the Table

   menu. Under Sort By, select Paragraphs. Select the appropriate Type

   category (Text, Date or Number), and choose OK.

5. Select the sorted paragraphs and choose Convert Text To Table from the

   Table menu. In the Convert Text To Table dialog box, enter the number of

   columns from Step 1 above. Under Separate Text At, select Paragraphs.

   Choose OK.

Character Formatting in Data Source Not Retained After Merge

Article ID: Q116220

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Formatted characters in a mail merge data source, such as superscripted or

subscripted characters, will not retain their formatting after the data is

merged with the main document.

CAUSE

=====

By design, Word for Windows allows you to format the merge fields in the

mail merge main document. Formatting that is applied to the data source

is overridden by formatting applied to the fields in the main document.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Remove the word "MERGEFIELD" from the merge fields in the main

          document. To do this, display field codes by pressing ALT+F9.

          Delete the word "MERGEFIELD" (without the quotes) from within the

          field code. Ignore the "Error! Bookmark not defined." error

          message and perform the merge.

Method 2: To maintain superscript or subscript formatting, use the Equation

          Editor to create the superscript or subscript characters in the

          data source.

Drag-and-Drop of Vertical Selection Copies (not Moves) Text

Article ID: Q116221

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use the mouse to drag-and-drop a vertical block of text, Word

copies instead of moves the text to the new location. This functionality

worked correctly in Word version 2.0.

STATUS

=======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Select the text, choose Cut from the Edit menu, move the

          insertion point to the new location, and choose Paste from the

          Edit menu.

Method 2: Select the text, click the Cut button on the Standard toolbar,

          move the insertion point to the new location, and click the Paste

          button on the Standard toolbar.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To select a vertical block of text in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a, place the

insertion point on the top left of the text area, press and hold the ALT

key while dragging over the text with the left mouse button. After the text

is selected, release the ALT key and the mouse button. When you then drag

the selected text to the new location the status bar will indicate, "Move

to Where?" However, the text will be copied instead of moved.

AutoCorrect Words Don't Include Smart Quotes

Article ID: Q116223

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When the "Change Straight Quotes to Smart Quotes" option is selected, words

added to the AutoCorrect list that contain single or double quotation marks

may not convert to smart quotes when they are autocorrected in the

document.

CAUSE

=====

By default, when you save an AutoCorrect entry that contains fields,

symbols, paragraph marks, imported graphics, or objects other than text,

Word preserves the original formatting. When the selection contains only

text, Word stores the AutoCorrect entry as plain text (without formatting).

RESOLUTION

==========

To change how Word stores your AutoCorrect entry:

1. Select the text you want saved as an AutoCorrect entry.

2. From the Tools menu, select AutoCorrect.

3. In the AutoCorrect dialog box, select Formatted Text and type the

   incorrect text in the Replace box (the selection will appear in the With

   box and both the Plain Text and Formatted Text options will be

   available) and choose Add.

   Note: the "formatted text" option will only be available when text is

   selected before using the AutoCorrect dialog box.

SYMPTOMS

========

When you move the Borders toolbar to the right or left side of the document

window, exit Word for Windows, and then restart Word, the seven Border

buttons appear to be active, but when you click one of them, no border

formatting results. Only the Line Style and Shading buttons respond

correctly (when you click one of them, the Paragraph Borders And Shading

dialog boxes appear.)

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Use the Line Style and Shading buttons to access the Paragraph

          Borders And Shading dialog box and make formatting changes there.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If "Change Straight Quotes to Smart Quotes" is turned on and you type an

equal sign enclosed in quotation marks ("="), the equal sign will be

enclosed by two opening quotation marks, rather than being preceded by

Printing Label Ignores Direct Formatting

Article ID: Q116227

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print labels using the Envelopes And Labels command, the label

address may print with different formatting than appears in the Label

Address dialog box.

CAUSE

=====

Word displays the text in the Label Address box using Times New Roman, 10

point, single spaced (this is the Word default font). If you choose the

Print button, the label is printed using the Normal style in the Normal.dot

template. If you choose the New Document button, Word opens a new document

based on the Normal.dot template, and the labels take on the Normal style

of the Normal.dot template.

If you paste formatted text into the Label dialog box, the formatted text

will appear as Times New Roman, 10 point, single spaced, and it will print

formatted for the normal style of your Normal.dot template.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Add the labels to a new document, format the labels as desired

          and print the labels.

Method 2: Modify the text in the Address box. To do this, select the text

          in the Label Address box, click the right mouse button to access

          the shortcut menu, select Font or Paragraph and modify the text

          to the correct format. Print the label(s).

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word 6.0 makes extensive use of a new technology called Rich Text Edit

(RTE) dialog boxes. RTE dialog boxes allow you to select multiple

formatting options and to see the results of the formatting in the dialog

box. RTE dialog boxes also allow the use of shortcut keys and menus to

change the format of the text in the dialog box.

Undocumented .LabelAutoText Argument for ToolsCreateEnvelope

Article ID: Q116229

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you manually create a macro to perform a mail merge to create envelopes

and omit the .LabelAutoText argument from the ToolsCreateEnvelope

statement, you will receive the following error message:

   Word Basic Err=102

   Command Failed.

CAUSE

=====

When you record the macro to perform the merge steps, the macro will

automatically include this argument. However, if you manually create the

macro and do not include this argument or if you edit the macro and remove

it, then you will generate the above error.

The syntax for this argument is

   .LabelAutoText = <text>

where <text> is the name of an AutoText entry in which the address

fields for a data source are stored (for example, .LabelAutoText = Sales).

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.00 and

6.00a for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Edit the macro to include the .LabelAutoText argument.

Fonts Display as Black Boxes on Radius Pivot Monitor

Article ID: Q116255

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word Assistant, version 1.0

 - Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1, 3.11

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, some fonts in the As Font dialog box display as black

boxes if you are using a Radius Pivot display monitor. (To locate this

dialog box, choose Font Selector from the Format menu, and select the As

Font tab. The Font Selector command appears on the Format menu when you

install Microsoft Word Assistant.)

CAUSE

=====

In Word, the As Font dialog box displays only vector fonts (such as the

Modern, Roman, or Script fonts supplied with Windows) on the Radius Pivot

monitor. All other, non-vector fonts display as black boxes. This happens

in either orientation (vertical or horizontal) on the Radius Pivot monitor.

This problem occurs only in the Word Assistant Font Selector dialog box. On

the Radius Pivot monitor, non-vector fonts display correctly in Word's

Format Font dialog box and in all the Microsoft Font Assistant dialog

boxes.

By contrast, all non-vector fonts in the Font Selector dialog box display

correctly on other display monitors.

Section Margins and Page Size Changes in Embedded Word Object

Article ID: Q116267

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you embed a Word Document Object that contains multiple sections and

multiple margin settings in a container (client), Word for Windows changes

the margin settings to 0 (zero) inches in all sections.

CAUSE

=====

By design (to avoid unwanted white space), Word changes the page size of an

embedded Word Document Object to 6 inches and changes the margins to 0

(zero) inches. When Word does this in a multisection document with

different section margin settings, it sacrifices the position of each

section in relation to one another.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed the sacrifice of relative margin settings between

sections in an embedded Word Document Object to be a problem in Word

versions 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows. We are researching this problem and will

post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes

available.

WORKAROUND

==========

After you embed the Word Document Object, activate the object and change

the margin settings for each section. Word retains these settings when you

update the object.

SYMPTOMS

========

If the WordPerfect Help option is turned on in Word for Windows,

a page break may be inserted into your document when you choose a

QuickShelf button. If you have a word selected in your document,

the page break will replace the word.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

To solve this problem, disable the Help for WordPerfect users, using the

following steps:

1. From the Tools menu in Word, choose Options.

2. Choose General options.

3. Clear the Help For WordPerfect Users check box.

4. Choose OK.

The following is another workaround:

1. For Word 6.0, add the following line to the WINWORD6.INI file:

      wphelp=0

   -or-

2. For Word 2.0, add the following line to the WINWORD.INI:

      wphelp=0

MORE INFORMATION

================

You should be able to highlight a word and, by pressing a QuickShelf

button, start Bookshelf and perform a search on the word (for

example, to find a definition of it).

However, if the WordPerfect Help option is turned on, a page break

appears, replacing the highlighted word. Bookshelf starts, but does

not search on the word.

Blank Lines Not Suppressed During Conditional Mail Merge

Article ID: Q116360

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you perform a mail merge in Word for Windows, blank lines may not be

suppressed when you use one of the standard conditional statements (using

IF fields) in your mail merge main document. In both of the following

examples, which contain conditional (IF field) statements, Word 6.0 does

not suppress the blank line when the ADDRESS2 MERGEFIELD is empty (by

contrast, these statements correctly suppress the blank line in Word 2.x

for Windows):

Example 1

---------

{MERGEFIELD NAME}

{MERGEFIELD ADDRESS1}

{IF{MERGEFIELD ADDRESS2} <> "" "{MERGEFIELD ADDRESS2}"}

Example 2

---------

{MERGEFIELD NAME}

{MERGEFIELD ADDRESS1}

{IF{MERGEFIELD ADDRESS2} <> "" "{MERGEFIELD ADDRESS2} {MERGEFIELD

CITY} {MERGEFIELD STATE} {MERGEFIELD POSTALCODE}" "{MERGEFIELD CITY}

{MERGEFIELD STATE} {MERGEFIELD POSTALCODE}"}

Note: A similar problem occurs in which Word does not suppress blank SPACES

for a conditional statement in a mail merge. For information about this

topic, query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   suppress* and blank and spaces and conditional and

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

In both of the methods below, [Press ENTER] means you should press ENTER to

insert a paragraph mark (hard carriage return) inside the True Text element

of the conditional statement. Do not press ENTER elsewhere; instead, allow

normal line wrapping to occur.

The paragraph mark in the True Text element places the ADDRESS2 MERGEFIELD

on a separate line only when it is nonblank (true result). Otherwise, when

the ADDRESS2 MERGEFIELD is blank (false result), Word does not insert the

paragraph mark. If you mistakenly omit the paragraph mark in the True Text

element, Word displays and prints the blank space. The paragraph mark

inside the True Text element is the only paragraph mark required in the

conditional (IF) statement.

Method 1

--------

{MERGEFIELD NAME} [Press ENTER]

{MERGEFIELD ADDRESS1} [Press ENTER]

{IF{MERGEFIELD ADDRESS2} <> "" "{MERGEFIELD ADDRESS2} [Press ENTER]

{MERGEFIELD CITY}, {MERGEFIELD STATE} {MERGEFIELD POSTALCODE}"

"{MERGEFIELD CITY}, {MERGEFIELD STATE} {MERGEFIELD POSTALCODE}"}

Note: You can include the MERGEFIELD fields for subsequent lines within the

True Text and False Text elements of the conditional statement.

Method 2

--------

{MERGEFIELD NAME} [Press ENTER]

{MERGEFIELD ADDRESS1} [Press ENTER]

{IF{MERGEFIELD ADDRESS2} <> "" "{MERGEFIELD ADDRESS2} [Press ENTER]

"}{MERGEFIELD CITY}, {MERGEFIELD STATE} {MERGEFIELD POSTALCODE}

Note: In this method, only a True Text element is necessary; when there is

no False Text element and the comparison is false, the IF statement has no

result.

For more information about conditional statements, double-click the Help

button on the Standard toolbar, and then type "if field" (without the

quotation marks).

"Too Many Data Fields" Error in Single-Field Data Document

Article ID: Q116361

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If ALL of the following conditions are true when you perform a mail merge

operation, Word for Windows displays a "Record 1 contained too many data

fields" error message:

 - You are using a separate header source.

 - Your header and data documents are text files that contain only one

   field per record.

 - When you attached the header source, you selected None from the Field

   Delimiter list in the Header Record Delimiters dialog box. (This is the

   logical selection because you do not need a delimiter in a single-field

   data document.)

 - The records in your data document are identical in format and they all

   contain a character that Word can use as a delimiter (such as hyphens,

   periods, and so on).

The following sample header and data documents illustrate these conditions.

   Header Source    Data Source       Note

   -------------    -----------       ----

   SSN              123-45-6789       All contain 2 hyphens

                    987-65-4321

                    654-32-1098

   Chapter          83.6.9            All contain 2 periods

                    12.3.2

                    7.5.5

   Description      Push-pull         All contain 1 hyphen

                    Helter-skelter

                    Teeter-totter

Furthermore, the mail merge operation inserts only the first portion of

each field in the merged document (the portion before the first character

Word mistakenly uses as a delimiter). For example, if you perform a mail

merge using the above sample header and data documents, the merged

documents contain the following results:

   123            83            Push

   987            12            Helter

   654             7            Teeter

CAUSE

=====

Even though you selected no field delimiter, Word still analyses your data

document. If all the records are formatted in a similar manner (all social

security numbers, all contain the same number of decimals, and so on), Word

mistakenly uses the common character as a delimiter and treats each record

as if it contained multiple fields.

This problem does not occur if the data records contain dissimilar

formatting, if the data document is a Word table, if you are not using a

separate header source, if each data record is enclosed in quotation marks,

or if your data records contain more than one field apiece.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Do not use a header source file; instead, place the field name at

          the beginning of the data document. (To detach the header source,

          you must restore your main document to a normal Word document and

          then reattach the data document)

Method 2: Use the following procedure to convert your data document to a

          Word table:

          a. Open the mail merge data document in Word. (To open the data

             document from your main document, choose the Edit Data Source

             button on the Mail Merge toolbar.)

          b. From the Edit menu, choose Select All to select all your

             data.

          c. From the Table menu, choose Convert Text to Table.

          d. Select 1 in the Number of Columns box, select the Paragraphs

             option, and then choose OK.

Method 3: Use a header and data source whose records contain more than one

          field apiece. You do not need to use the additional fields in

          your mail merge operation.

Method 4: In your data document, enclose each record in quotation marks.

          For example, change the sample file above to the following:

             "123-45-6789"

             "987-65-4321"

             "654-32-1098"

SYMPTOMS

========

In a Word for Windows document attached to a routing slip, the name of the

recipients in the Route Document dialog box may display incorrectly if the

name contains an ampersand (&). Word removes the ampersand character.

This is a display problem only. Word mails the document to the correct

electronic mail (email) address.

Doc Error: Heading Numbering Is Not a Section-Level Setting

Article ID: Q116363

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

There is a documentation error on page 402 of the "Microsoft Word User's

Guide" and in the "Removing Numbers from Headings in an Outline" online

Help topic. The following incorrect statement appears in both locations:

   In outline view, position the insertion point in the section from

    which you want to remove heading numbers.

This statement incorrectly implies that you can apply or remove heading

numbering at the section level in your document. In Word for Windows,

heading numbering is a document-level setting, so you can only change

heading numbering formatting for the entire document, not for a single

section.

Find File Command Searches Only the Current Directory

Article ID: Q116364

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use the Find File command on the File menu and select the Include

Subdirectories option, Word for Windows may search only the current

directory. (You can find the Include Subdirectories option in the Search

dialog box; if this dialog box does not appear when you choose Find File

from the File menu, choose the Search button.)

CAUSE

=====

Word searches only the current directory and does not search the

subdirectories if you do not include a backslash (\) character after the

drive letter in the Location box in the Search dialog box. For example, if

you type "C:" (without the quotation marks) in the Location box, Word

searches the current directory. By contrast, if you type "C:\" in the

Location box, Word searches all the subdirectories on drive C.

Note: The current directory is the one that appears above the Directories

box when you choose Save As from the File menu.

Loss of Memory After Editing Screen-Capture Bitmap

Article ID: Q116365

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

After you edit a bitmap that you created by pressing PRINT SCREEN or

ALT+PRINT SCREEN to capture the current screen display, Word for Windows

may have very little available memory, and either of the following error

messages may occur:

   This is an invalid embedded object.

   -or-

   Out of memory.

Once either of these messages occurs, additional errors usually occur when

you perform any other operations in Word.

Note: To check available memory in Word, choose About Microsoft Word from

the Help menu, and then choose the System Info button.

CAUSE

=====

The editing of an embedded screen capture object consumes available memory,

which Word should restore when you finish editing the object. However, Word

does not release the memory, which leaves you with insufficient memory for

subsequent Word operations.

Furthermore, Word does not release the memory when you close the file that

contains the screen capture object. You must quit and restart Word to

restore available system memory.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Paste the screen capture object in Windows Paintbrush, save it as a bitmap

(.BMP) file, then insert the .BMP file in your Word document.

Page Formatting Not Retained in Clipboard After Exiting Word

Article ID: Q116366

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you copy all or part of a Word for Windows document to the Windows

Clipboard, quit and restart Word, and then paste the document from the

Clipboard into a new document, Word does not retain the document's page

formatting (specifically, margins and paper size). Word frequently changes

the paper size to a custom size.

Other document formatting--such as styles, page orientation, and headers

and footers--does not change.

This problem does not occur when you copy a document from Word 1.x or 2.x

for Windows and paste it into Word 6.0.

CAUSE

=====

Quitting Word 6.0 removes some of the formatting information from the Word

document on the Windows Clipboard. When you restart Word and paste the

document, Word applies new formatting to replace the missing formatting.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 and 6.0a for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here

in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Method 1: Paste the text in a new Word document before you quit Word.

Method 2: Open a second instance of Word and paste the text into a document

          before you close the first instance of Word.

Cannot Suppress Blank Space Using Q&A for MS-DOS as Data File

Article ID: Q116367

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use an ASCII text file created in Q&A 4.0 for MS-DOS (comma-

delimited, with quotation marks around each field) as a data document, Word

for Windows may fail to suppress blank spaces.

CAUSE

=====

When you save in ASCII text format, the Q&A 4.0 for MS-DOS application

inserts a space between the quotation marks (") in blank fields. Word

inserts this space as the contents of the field; in other words, Word

considers this field to be non-blank.

This problem does not occur if you save the Q&A 4.0 file in dBASEIII or

dBASEIV file format.

Note: Word version 2.x for Windows ignores the space in a Q&A 4.0 ASCII

text file, so this problem does not occur in Word 2.x.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: If you want to use a Q&A 4.0 for MS-DOS ASCII text file as your

          data document, use the Replace command on the Edit menu in Word

          to remove the extraneous spaces from the file.

Method 2: In Q&A 4.0, save the file in dBASEIII or dBASEIV file format

          instead of ASCII text format. In Word, attach the data document

          by using ODBC.

Numbering "Position" Is Relative to Indent Level

Article ID: Q116368

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Preview picture in the Modify part of Format Heading Numbering and

Format Bullets and Numbering Multilevel dialogs does not reflect what

actually happens when "Number and Position" is included from a previous

level. When "Number and Position" is carried from a previous level and

applied to indented paragraphs, the number for the level 1 paragraphs will

appear:

 - At the indented position appropriate for the current level paragraph

   when Heading Numbering is used.

 - Flush left when Multilevel numbering is used. Numbers carried from

   subsequent levels will appear at half-inch intervals to the right.

CAUSE

=====

When "Position" is carried from a previous level and applied to a paragraph

that is indented, the position of the number is relative to the indent

level of the current paragraph.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following is an example of what will happen when "Number and Position"

is included from a previous level and you modify the Heading Numbering

gallery option 2 (top, center).

   Expected outcome based on the Preview picture

   ---------------------------------------------

     1.      Text of line 1

              wrapped text here.

     1.1      Text of line 2

              wrapped here.

     1.1.1    Text of line 3

              wrapped text to here.

     1.1.1.1. Text of line 4

              wrapped here.

   Actual outcome

   --------------

     1. Text of line 1

          wrapped text here.

          1. 1. Text of line 2

               wrapped here.

               1. 1. 1    Text of line 3

                    wrapped text to here.

                       1. 1. 1. 1. Text of line 4

                            wrapped here.

The Preview picture for Multilevel numbering gallery options 4 and

5 appears the same as that for the Heading numbering example given

above, but the outcome is slightly different.

   Actual outcome

   --------------

     1. Text for level 1

          wrapped here

     1    .1   Text for level 2

               wrapped here

     1    .1   .1   Text for level 3

                    wrapped here

RESOLUTION

==========

To achieve the result indicated by the Preview picture for Heading

Numbering, include only the number from the previous level (the default for

gallery option 2). After applying the Heading Numbering, modify the Heading

styles to remove indents for levels below Heading 1.

To modify the Heading styles:

1. From the Format menu, choose Styles.

2. In the Styles list, select Heading 2.

3. Choose the Modify button.

4. Choose the Format button.

5. Choose the Paragraph button.

6. In the Indentation from Left box, type the amount of indentation you

   want. If you want the Heading 2 paragraphs to be flush with the left

   margin, type a 0 (zero).

7. Choose OK.

8. Choose OK again.

9. Repeat steps 2 through 8 for each heading style you want to modify.

Note: To make the changes apply to all future documents based on the

current template, select the "Add to Template" check box in the lower left

corner of the Modify dialog.

To achieve the result indicated by the Preview picture for Multilevel

Numbering, choose gallery option 6 (bottom, right) and make the following

modifications:

1. Check the hanging indent box for level 1.

2. Change the "Distance from Indent to Text" to .5" for level 1.

Demo Stops After Clicking Application on Top of Demo Window

Article ID: Q116369

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you choose Examples and Demos from the Help menu, the online example

or demo may hang (stop responding) if the demo clicks the mouse on another

application that is running on top of the demo.

For example, if you are running Microsoft Office Manager (MOM) and the MOM

toolbar is on top, the Word for Windows online demo may inadvertently click

on the MOM toolbar when it performs a mouse operation. This happens if the

MOM toolbar is positioned over the top of a location where the demo clicks

the mouse. The mouse activates the MOM toolbar instead of performing the

Word demo operation.

Sometimes you can continue the Word demonstration by clicking in the demo

window to reactivate it; in other cases, the demo hangs, and you must close

and restart it to continue.

CAUSE

=====

The online examples and demonstrations in Word are not simulations; they

are automated demonstrations of real Word operations. So when the demo

performs a mouse click, it is a "real" mouse click, just as if you'd

manually clicked the mouse yourself. As with a "real" mouse click, the demo

mouse click activates the window in which you click.

WORKAROUND

==========

Before you run an online example or demonstration in Word, make sure no

programs, such as How To help screens, clocks, or the MOM toolbar, are

running on top of your desktop.

To move the MOM toolbar to the background, clear the Toolbar Is Always

Visible option. (To locate the Toolbar Is Always Visible option, choose the

Microsoft Office button on the MOM toolbar. From the menu that appears,

choose Customize, and then select the View tab.)

Moving Through Mail Merge Data Form Records Is Slow

Article ID: Q116455

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Moving though mail merge records using the Mail Merge Helper Data Form can

be extremely slow. For example, when you choose the last record button

(>|), Word for Windows can take up to five minutes to find the last record.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs when each column of the data document contains

numbering formatting.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 and 6.0a for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here

in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

If you want to number each of the merged data records, use the MERGEREC

field.

To remove the numbering formatting from the data document, perform the

following steps in the mail merge main document:

1. On the Mail Merge toolbar, choose the Edit Data Source button.

2. In the Data Form dialog box, choose the View Source button.

3. From the Edit menu, choose Select All.

4. From the Format menu, choose Bullets And Numbering.

5. Choose the Remove button.

How to Restart a Numbering Sequence Within a Table

Article ID: Q116457

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use the Bullets and Numbering command on the Format menu (or the

Numbering button on the Standard toolbar) to number cells in a Word for

Windows table, you can only include one sequence of numbers in the table.

If you insert a second sequence of numbers in the table, Word continues the

numbering from the first set of numbers, even if you want to start over at

1. For example, Word starts the second set of numbers in the sample table

below at 5 instead of 1:

   1. First Numbered List

   2. First Numbered List

   3. First Numbered List

   4. First Numbered List

   5. Second Numbered List

   6. Second Numbered List

   7. Second Numbered List

   8. Second Numbered List

WORKAROUND

==========

To include more than one sequence of numbers in a Word table using the

Numbering command, insert a continuous section break above the row where

you want to restart the numbering sequence. Use the following instructions

to create two separate numbering sequences in a Word table:

1. In your Word table, apply the numbering formatting. Word numbers the

   cells in a single sequence.

2. Position the insertion point in the last cell of the row in which you

   want to start a second numbering sequence. Using the sample table above,

   position the insertion point at the end of the fifth row (in the cell

   that contains number 5).

3. From the Insert menu, choose Break.

4. Under Section Breaks, select the Continuous option and then choose OK.

   Word restarts the numbering of the current row at 1. The sample table

   above now appears as follows:

      1. First Numbered List

      2. First Numbered List

      3. First Numbered List

      4. First Numbered List

      1. Second Numbered List

      2. Second Numbered List

      3. Second Numbered List

      4. Second Numbered List

Cannot Open Documents or Data Files from Network Location

Article ID: Q116458

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you try to open a document, insert a database, or attach a mail merge

data source that is located on a network drive, Word for Windows may fail

to open the file, and the Open dialog box remains open. No error message

occurs. This happens regardless of the file format or method (such as DDE,

ODBC, or converter) you select if Word prompts you to confirm the file

format.

The document or data file opens correctly if it is located on a local hard

or floppy disk.

CAUSE

=====

If the computer name of your network server contains a space, Windows for

Workgroups cannot read it, so you cannot open the file in Word. Under

Windows for Workgroups, computer names cannot contain the space character.

WORKAROUND

==========

Rename your network servers so their names do not contain any spaces.

   6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system, version 3.1

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you have a bookmark that references itself, you will receive the

following error message when the field is updated:

     Error! Not a valid bookmark self-reference.

CAUSE

=====

This error occurs when you create a reference field and bookmark this field

using the same name that is used within the reference field. For example,

this occurs when you have bookmarked the following REF field as "test":

   {ref test}

By design, Word does not allow you to bookmark a field that contains a

bookmark with the same name.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Redefine the bookmark so that it does not contain the field that

          refers to it.

Method 2: Use a different bookmark name.

Outside Border for Revisions Prints Incorrectly

Article ID: Q116469

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you specify an outside border to mark revisions in the margins of a

Word 6.0 document, the border displays correctly but prints incorrectly

(that is, it prints in the wrong margin).

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs if the Mirror Margins option is selected. (To locate

Mirror Margins, choose Page Setup from the File menu and select the Margins

tab.) The revision bars print in the right margin if Mirror Margins is

selected and in the left margin if Mirror Margins is not selected.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

and 6.0c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Use a left or right border instead of an outside border. (To

          locate the border options, choose Options from the Tools menu and

          select the Revisions tab. Under Revised Lines, choose the type of

          border to mark the revisions.)

          The drawback to using this option is that Word displays the

          border in the same margin throughout the entire document.

Method 2: From the Tools menu, choose Options, and select the Revisions

          tab. Under Revised Lines, select Right Border from the Mark box.

          Print the odd pages. (At the bottom of the Print dialog box,

          select Odd Pages, and choose OK.) Then go back to the Revisions

          tab and set the Mark box under Revised Lines to Left Border. Now

          print the even pages.

Sheet1 is the Only Excel Sheet Available with Word DDE

Article ID: Q116470

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When Word 6.0 or 6.0a performs a mail merge using a DDE link to a Microsoft

Excel 5.0 data source, Word looks only at the first sheet available in the

Microsoft Excel workbook. Word does not allow you to select another

worksheet. Also, editing the data source to move another sheet to the first

position while it is attached to the Word main document does not allow you

to access the new sheet.

CAUSE

=====

When using DDE to attach a Microsoft Excel 5.0 worksheet as a mail merge

data source, Word recognizes only the first sheet in the workbook. Also,

Word does not recognize any changes you make to the data source while the

Microsoft Excel worksheet is attached to the mail merge main document.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: You can select a specific sheet in a Microsoft Excel workbook

          using the converter instead of the DDE option. To do this, select

          the Confirm Conversions check box in the Open Data Source dialog

          box. Select the desired sheet from the list of all available

          sheets in the workbook.

Method 2: If you choose to use the DDE option, you can open Microsoft

          Excel, then open the workbook and move the desired sheet to the

          first position. (To do this, click and drag the desired sheet tab

          to the first position on the sheet tab bar at the bottom of the

          current workbook.) Save the Microsoft Excel workbook. In Word,

          reestablish the DDE link to the Microsoft Excel worksheet before

          performing your merge. (To do this, from the Tools menu, select

          Get Data, Choose Open Data Source, select your Microsoft Excel

          file, and reselect the entire worksheet.)

Method 3: If the Microsoft Excel worksheet contains other information not

          intended to be used as merge data, you can define a range name

          for the data. (To do this, open the Microsoft Excel worksheet and

          select the range of cells that contain your data. From the Insert

          menu, select Name, then select Define and type the desired name

          without spaces.) The worksheet containing the range should be

          moved to the first position in the workbook as described in

          Method 2. Return to your mail merge main document in Word and

          reattach the data source. Instead of selecting the entire

          worksheet, select the range name.

LockDocument 0 Doesn't Unlock Subdocument with Author Mismatch

Article ID: Q116473

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit" incorrectly states on page 559 that

you can use the WordBasic command LockDocument with the Lock argument set

to 0 to remove the locks from all subdocuments of a master document if your

insertion point is in the master document when the command is run. This is

true only if the document has been protected using the LockDocument macro

or the Lock Document button on the Master Document toolbar. If any

subdocument has been locked by another means, this command will fail to

unlock the subdocument.

MORE INFORMATION

================

A subdocument can be set to read-only (locked) by the author. A subdocument

will also be marked read-only by the system if the author name for the

master document and subdocument do not match. In these cases, the

"LockDocument 0" command has no impact on the subdocument's read-only

status.

Equation Editor Fields Sized Incorrectly After Updating

Article ID: Q116474

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you update an equation created from the Equation Editor, the equation

field may resize to an incorrect, usually smaller, point size.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior occurs in table cells where the cell height is set to an

exact height that is smaller than the font size used to create the

equation, or where the cell width is smaller than the width of the

equation.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

If the object resizes to a smaller size after you update it, manually

resize it:

1. Select the object.

2. From the Format menu, choose Picture.

3. To reset the equation to its original size, choose the Reset button.

   (The original size of the equation appears at the bottom of the Picture

   dialog box.)

Mail Merge Does Not Merge Hidden Character Formatting

Article ID: Q116475

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If a Word 6.0 mail merge data document contains hidden text formatting, the

text will appear without the hidden format after the merge is performed. In

Word 2.0 for Windows and Word 5.x for the Macintosh, the field that

contains the hidden text will be ignored.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior is by design in Word. The mail merge main document controls

the formatting of text during a merge.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Format the merge field in the mail merge main document as hidden.

          When the merge is performed, the result of this field will be

          hidden text.

Method 2: Remove the word "mergefield" from the merge field in the main

          document. To do this, begin by displaying field codes (press

          ALT+F9). Delete the word "mergefield" (without the quotation

          marks) from within the field code. Ignore the "Error! Bookmark

          not defined" message and perform the merge. The result after the

          merge will be hidden text.

Method 3: Replace the MERGEFIELD field with a REF field. To do this, turn

          on field codes (by pressing ALT+F9), replace the word

          "mergefield" with the word "ref" (without the quotation marks) in

          the field code. The merge will generate hidden text for this

          field.

Method 2 or Method 3 do not permit you to suppress blank lines when a field

in the data file is empty. Method 1 automatically suppresses the blank

lines.

[MS ShareRes] in WIN.INI Contains Duplicate Path Entries

Article ID: Q116476

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The PATH statement in the [MS Shareres] section of your WIN.INI file

contains more than one path to the Word for Windows directory.

CAUSE

=====

When you uninstall and reinstall Word for Windows, Setup appends the Word

program directory path to the PATH statement in the [MS Shareres] section

of the WIN.INI file. It does not delete the old entry first.

STATUS

=======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

This does not present any problems with normal Windows or Word operation.

RESOLUTION

==========

Edit the WIN.INI file and manually remove the extra path statement(s).

Temporary Wizard Files (~$name.WIZ) Appear on Hard Drive

Article ID: Q117120

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Temporary files that begin with a tilde (~) and have a .WIZ extension have

appeared in the directory where your Word for Windows wizards are stored

(usually, C:\WINWORD\TEMPLATE).

CAUSE

=====

When you create a new document in Word, Word creates an owner file.

Information you enter into the wizard during its operation as well as

information about who is currently using the file is stored in the owner

file. This file remains until you save the document or quit Word. Closing

all open documents within Word has no effect.

Normally, you can add NoOwnerFiles=Yes to the Microsoft Word 6.0 section of

the WINWORD6.INI file to prevent the creation of hidden owner files.

However, this option does not work when you use the wizards.

For additional information about hidden temporary files and why they

sometimes accumulate on your hard disk, please see the following article in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   ARTICLE-ID: Q78386

   TITLE     : Hidden Temporary Files Left on Hard Drive

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem, and we will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

The wizard owner files do not generally pose a problem to system operation.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Rename the wizard to have a DOT extension. The drawback to this

          method is that you will lose the Wizard's functionality.

Method 2: Call the wizard from a macro stored in another template. The

          macro below should be stored globally (in the NORMAL.DOT

          template). It calls the Wizard, reattaches to the Normal

          template, changes the hidden attribute of the wizard owner files,

          and removes the owner files after completing the StartWizard

          macro.

          WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS

          AT YOUR OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is"

          without warranty of any kind, either express or implied,

          including but not limited to the implied warranties of

          merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

          Kill "c:\public\~$wizard.wiz"

          End Sub

MORE INFORMATION

================

Wizard owner files are hidden files that are 54 bytes in length and are

stored in the same directory as the wizard. The files are named after the

wizard that is in use, but the first two letters are changed to ~$. For

example, AWARD.WIZ would have an owner file named ~$ard.wiz.

Incorrect File Conversions Running BatchConversion Macro

Article ID: Q117121

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Files may be converted incorrectly as Text Only when you use the

BatchConversion macro that ships with Word 6.0 and 6.0a.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior occurs when the file extension for the file being converted

does not match the default file extension for the converter, as specified

under the [MSWord Text Converters] section in the WINWORD6.INI or the

WIN.INI file. The BatchConversion macro is unable to associate the file

with a specific converter and defaults to Text Only.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Before running the macro, open the WINWORD6.INI or the WIN.INI file, and

edit the line for the conversion filter you want to use. Make sure the

default extension is the same as the one you will specify when you run the

macro.

For example, the line for the MultiMate converter can be written as

follows. (NOTE: your path may be different.)

   MultiMate 4.0=MultiMate 4.0, C:\WINWORD\SUPPCONV\MULTIMAT.CNV, DOX

If your files have the extension "D" (without the quotation marks), modify

this line as follows:

   MultiMate 4.0=MultiMate 4.0, C:\WINWORD\SUPPCONV\MULTIMAT.CNV, D

MORE INFORMATION

================

BatchConverter is a macro that ships with Word 6.0 and 6.0a. It is stored

in the template CONVERT.DOT, which is typically found in the WINWORD\MACROS

subdirectory. To install this macro, do the following:

1. From the File menu, choose Templates.

2. In the Templates and Add-Ins dialog box, choose the Add button and

   select CONVERT.DOT from the WINWORD\MACROS subdirectory and choose OK.

   The template should be added to the list under Global Templates and Add-

   ins and the check box should have an X in it.

3. Choose OK.

To run the Macro, choose Macros from the Tools menu, select the

BatchConversion macro and choose Run.

Exponential Number from Microsoft Excel Converted Incorrectly

Article ID: Q117122

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you open a Microsoft Excel 4.0 or 5.0 spreadsheet that contains

exponential formulas in Word 6.0 or 6.0a, the formulas may convert

incorrectly.

CAUSE

=====

The Microsoft Excel worksheet converter is incorrectly interpreting the

exponential formulas.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem, and we will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Method 1: Copy and paste the data from the Microsoft Excel worksheet:

          a. In Microsoft Excel, open the worksheet and select the cells.

          b. From the Edit menu, choose Copy.

          c. Open the Word 6.0 document, position the insertion point, and

             choose Paste from the Edit menu.

Method 2: Insert the data as an object:

          a. In Word 6.0, choose Object from the Insert menu.

          b. Select the Create From File tab, select the file, and choose

             OK.

Inserted Caption Does Not Retain Style Formatting

Article ID: Q117123

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The alignment of a Caption or AutoCaption may be different than the

alignment of the picture, object, or table that is being captioned.

Example 1: If you modify the Caption style to have centered alignment, and

           insert a picture, object, or table in a paragraph that is left

           or right aligned, and AutoCaption is turned on, the picture and

           caption will be left or right aligned. (To locate the

           AutoCaption option, choose Caption from the Insert menu, and

           choose the AutoCaption button.)

Example 2: If you insert a picture in a paragraph that has direct

           formatting (alignment) applied to it, and in the next paragraph

           containing the same alignment, insert the caption, the Caption

           style formatting will override the paragraph formatting. If the

           picture is left aligned, and the caption style is centered, the

           picture will be left aligned and the caption will be centered.

CAUSE

=====

When you apply direct formatting to the paragraph where the picture is

inserted and AutoCaption is turned on, Word applies the direct formatting

to both the picture and caption. When AutoCaption is turned off, the

Caption style formatting overrides the paragraph formatting.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Word for Windows,

versions 6.0, 6.0a and 6.0c. This problem was resolved in Word for the

Macintosh, version 6.0.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Use one of the following methods to ensure that the caption and picture,

object, or table are correctly aligned.

Method 1: If AutoCaption is turned on, format the paragraph alignment where

          the picture is to be inserted, and then insert the picture. Word

          will format the picture and the caption with the same alignment.

Method 2: If AutoCaption is turned off, insert the picture, format the

          paragraph alignment, select the picture, and insert the caption.

          Word formats the caption the same as the picture.

Method 3: If the caption appears with different alignment than the picture,

          select the caption and apply direct formatting to the caption. To

          do this, choose one of the alignment buttons. Or, from the Format

          menu, choose Paragraph. Select the correct alignment and choose

          OK.

Method 4: If the caption appears with different alignment than the object,

          select the caption and from the Format menu, choose Style. From

          the list of styles, select Caption, and choose Apply to reapply

          the style to the caption text.

Insertion Point or Text Not Visible in Text Box or Callout

Article ID: Q117157

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

========

When you are typing in a text box or callout, the insertion point or text

is not visible, does not appear until you have typed an undetermined

amount, or disappears as you type.

CAUSE

=====

The paragraph indent inside the text box or callout has a negative indent.

By design, a negative indent acts as a margin release to allow you to type

text in the margin area.

How to Use AutoText As a Result of a Form Field Entry

Article ID: Q117209

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how to use AutoText as the result of a form field.

The procedure uses a drop-down form field that contains an on-exit macro.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In the example that follows, we will create a form that contains a form

field that causes a company's address to be inserted automatically when the

user enters a form field and selects a company name. The address will be

placed at a bookmark located in an unprotected section of the document.

Create the On-Exit Macro

------------------------

WARNING:  ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR

OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of

any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the

implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular

purpose.

Create the following macro, where "dropdown1" is the bookmark that

represents the drop-down form field containing your list of items, and

"Mark1" is the bookmark that represents where you want the AutoText

inserted:

   Sub Main

   a$ = GetFormResult$ ("dropdown1")

   editgoto .destination = "mark1"

   insert a$

   InsertAutoText

   End Sub

For more information about the GetFormResult() function, see page 494 of

the "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit" for version 6.0.

Create the Drop-Down Form Field

-------------------------------

Open a new document and create a drop-down form field by choosing Form

Field from the Insert menu and selecting Drop-Down from the Type list.

Choose the Options button. Enter the item names in the Drop-Down Item box,

and choose the Add button. Use items (such as company names) to denote

information (such as addresses) to be inserted into other places on the

form. For example, you might use the company name Martin Realty.

In the Drop-Down Form Field Options dialog box, enter the name of the on-

exit macro (the macro you created in the previous section) in the Exit box

under Run Macro On. Choose OK.

For more information about creating form fields, see "Forms" beginning on

page 305 in the "Microsoft Word User's Guide" for version 6.0.

Create the AutoText Entries

---------------------------

Create the AutoText entries. Give each AutoText entry the same name that is

used in the drop-down form field list. In this example, use Martin Realty

as the name of the AutoText entry. The content of the AutoText entry will

be the company address (for example, for the AutoText entry named "Martin

Realty," the content is "1234 Main Street, Aspen, Colorado").

Placing the Bookmark in the Form

--------------------------------

Insert a bookmark (in this example, name the bookmark "mark1") where you

want the AutoText (address) to appear. This section of the document will be

unprotected so that the AutoText result can be inserted into the document.

Insert a Section Break above and below this bookmark.

Note: You will not be able to use bookmarks in headers, footers,

annotations, footnotes, or endnotes because the EditGoto command in the

macro will not see these bookmarks, and they cannot be unprotected in your

form.

Protecting the Form

-------------------

From the Tools menu choose Protect document, select the Forms option, and

choose the Sections button. In the Section Protection dialog box, clear the

check box corresponding to the section where the AutoText will be inserted.

Choose OK. Save the Form.

Find File Command Fails to Find Files When Using Wildcards

Article ID: Q117210

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Find File command (located on the File menu) may fail to find files

when performing searches that includes wildcard characters such as the

asterisk or question mark.

   If you search for      Word does not find files that

   -----------------      -----------------------------

   *.*                    Have no extension

   *.D*                   End with the single character D

   *.D0*                  End with DO

   *.???                  Have fewer than three characters in the extension

   *.??                   Have fewer than two characters in the extension

   .?                     Have no extension

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: When searching for files with no extensions, use a single

          asterisk in the File Name box and do not include the period which

          normally separates the filename and the extension. The drawback

          to this method is that it will list all files in the search path.

Method 2: When searching for files containing a two-letter extension, use

          the question mark (?) wildcard character. For example, to search

          for all files with a two-character extension, type "*.??"

          (without the quotation marks) in the File Name box. If you search

          for files with a single character extension, use "*.?" to find

          your files.

MORE INFORMATION

================

This functionality also works incorrectly in Microsoft Excel 5.0 and

PowerPoint 4.0. Using the wildcard characters in the File Open dialog box

in each of these applications works correctly. This feature works correctly

in Word versions 2.x.

Page Numbering Incorrect with Index Ranges

Article ID: Q117211

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-cd, 2.0b, 2.0c,

   6.0, 6.0a, 6.0b, 6.0c

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

An index displays and prints incorrect page ranges. This occurs when two or

more index entry (XE) fields for the same subject include separate bookmark

references that appear on the same page, even though the bookmarks do not

overlap.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 2.x, 6.0, and

6.0a for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Manually edit the index by converting it to normal text. To do this,

position the insertion point in the index and press CTRL+SHIFT+F9 or

CTRL+6. The drawback to using this method is that the index is no longer a

field, and you will not be able to update it.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In Word 6.0, you can include a range of pages (such as "Product Support, 7-

9") in an index. The range of pages must be bookmarked and the bookmark

must be included in the index entry field. You can mark the text to be

included in the index by choosing Index And Tables from the Format menu.

If you have the following two XE fields in your document, where bookmark1

was created by selecting all of page 3 and the top of page 4 and bookmark2

was created by selecting text on the bottom of page 4 and all of pages 5

and 6

   For Word 6.0                    For Word 2.x

   ------------                    ------------

   {XE "Sales" \r "bookmark1"}     {XE "Sales" \b "bookmark1"}

   {XE "Sales" \r "bookmark2"}     {XE "Sales" \b "bookmark2"}

the resulting index entry will incorrectly display as:

   In Word 6:       Sales, 3-4-6       (with hidden text not displayed)

                    -or-

                    Sales, 3-4,5-6     (with hidden text displayed)

   In Word 2.0      Sales, 3, 5        (with/without hidden text displayed)

None of the above is correct. The expected display is:

   Sales, 3-4, 4-6

NOTE: Turn off hidden text before updating fields or your page numbering

results will be inaccurate.

Doc Error: Blank Lines Not Suppressed for Certain Characters

Article ID: Q117266

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

There is a documentation error in the "Preventing Blank Lines" section on

page 695 of "Microsoft Word User's Guide."

If you perform a mail merge operation and select the Don't Print Blank

Lines When Data Fields Are Empty option, Word for Windows may fail to

suppress blank lines as documented on page 695 when the field contains the

following characters:

   The following punctuation marks: . , ; : ? ! <open exclamation mark>

   <open question mark>

   Nonprinting characters such as spaces, tab characters, and

   paragraph marks.

This happens for both punctuation marks and nonprinting characters when the

data document is a Word table. When the data document is a comma- or tab-

delimited file, it happens for only the punctuation marks.

For example, if a field contains one of the punctuation mark listed above,

Word prints that character in your merged document and does not suppress

the blank line regardless of the format of your data document (either table

or tab- or comma-delimited). By contrast, if a field contains a nonprinting

character, such as a tab or space, Word prints that character and does not

suppress the blank line when your data document is a table; whereas, if

your data document is a tab- or comma-delimited file, Word does not print

that character and suppresses the blank line as expected.

The following table lists the behavior of punctuation or nonprinting

characters in either a table or a delimited text file:

                           Behavior                 Behavior in

mark)

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

By design, if a field contains a character such as a space, paragraph mark,

or tab enclosed in quotation marks, Word does not consider the field to be

empty, so no line suppression occurs. Be sure you do not confuse this

normal behavior with the problem described above. Some database

applications (such as dBASE) enclose each field in quotation marks and

place a space in a blank field. If this happens, Word does not suppress

blank lines (because the space is a valid character when it is enclosed in

quotation marks), so you may need to replace all occurrences of " " (a

space enclosed in double quotation marks) with "" (double quotation marks)

before you perform the mail merge operation in Word.

The dBASE products included here are manufactured by vendors independent of

Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these

products' performance or reliability.

How to Create Ordinal (Legal) Date Formatting in FORM Fields

Article ID: Q117267

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article provides two methods you can use to automatically display

dates in Arabic ordinal form (sometimes referred to as legal form) in a

Word for Windows FORM field.

The following are examples of dates in ordinal form (ordinal numbers

indicate the order in an ordered sequence):

   23rd day of February, 1994

   March 21st, 1994

   Tuesday the 15th, 1994

MORE INFORMATION

================

Method 1 uses the \* ORDINAL field switch to format the date. The drawback

to Method 1 is that no error occurs if you enter an invalid date. Method 2

uses an Entry macro in the FORM field that checks the validity of the input

and then formats the date as ordinal.

Method 1: Use the following steps to insert a FORM field that uses the

          \* ORDINAL field switch to format the date:

          Create the Form

          ---------------

          Note: Alternatively, you can substitute the \* ORDTEXT field

          switch in these instructions to format the date in ordinal text

          format, in which the ordinal number is spelled out rather than

          being expressed as a numeral (for example, "fifteenth" not

          "15th").

          Important: You must change the following settings in the Tools

          Options dialog box for this method to work correctly. (To do

          this, choose Options from the Tools menu, then select the tab

          listed in the Tab column below. Select or clear each setting, and

          then choose OK.)

             Tab             Setting (On or Off)

             ---             -------------------

             Print           Field Codes (Off)

                             Hidden Text (Off)

             View            Hidden Text (On)

                             Field Codes (Off)

          a. From the Insert menu, choose Form Field.

          b. Select the Text option and then choose the Options button.

          c. From the Type list, choose Regular Text. Under Field

             Settings, note the name in the Bookmark box (for use in the

             next step), and then choose OK.

          d. Select the FORM field you inserted in step c above.

          e. From the Format menu, choose Font. Select Hidden Text, and

             then choose OK.

          f. Press CTRL+F9 to insert field code brackets and then type the

             following:

                <Bookmark Name> \* charformat\* ordinal

             Note: In place of <Bookmark Name>, type the name of the FORM

             field bookmark you noted in step c above.

          g. From the Insert menu, choose Form Field.

          h. Select the Text option and then choose the Options button.

          i. From the Type list, select Date.

          j. In the Date Format box, type the following case-sensitive

             text (be sure to include a space at the beginning of the

             text, between "'" and "day"), and then choose OK:

                ' day of 'MMMM, yyyy

             If you switch to field codes view by pressing ALT+F9,

             you will see three fields in your document, with no spaces

             between any of them, as shown in the sample below:

                { FORMTEXT 1 }{ text1 \* ordinal }{ FORMTEXT 2 }

                ..............

             Note: The dotted line under the first field represents

             hidden text.

          Fill in the Form

          ----------------

          Use the following instructions to fill in the form:

          a. From the Tools menu, choose Protect Document.

          b. Select the Forms option and then choose OK. Word moves the

             insertion point to the first FORM field.

          c. In the first FORM field, type the numeric day value (a whole

             number from 1 through 31). For example, type "12" (without the

             quotation marks).

          d. Press TAB or ENTER to move to the next FORM field.

          e. In the second FORM field, type the month and year. For

             example, type "August, 1994" or "08/94" or "aug 94" (without

             the quotation marks).

          f. Press TAB or ENTER. If this is the last FORM field, Word moves

             back to the first FORM field. The text in your document looks

             like the following sample:

                12     day of August, 1994

          g. To view the document as it will print, switch to Print

             Preview. Word updates the bookmark reference and does not

             display the results of the hidden field, so the above

             sample appears as follows:

                12th day of August, 1994

             Note: If you switch to Page Layout view, the hidden FORM field

             result displays along with the bookmark reference field. This

             looks incorrect, as shown below, but the result prints

             correctly:

                1212th day of August, 1994

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Method 2: Use the instructions below to insert a single FORM field, and

          attach both an Entry and Exit macro to verify and format the FORM

          field result in ordinal number form. This method works only if

          your document contains at least two FORM fields (it does not work

          if your document contains only one FORM field).

          a. Create the following two global macros, named OnEntry and

             OnExit, respectively:

             OnEntry Macro

             -------------

             Sub MAIN

              On Error Resume Next

              '"INSERT THE FORM FIELD BOOKMARK NAME IN SETFORMRESULT"

              SetFormResult "text1", GetPrivateProfileString$("Microsoft

              Word", "storevalue", "winword6.ini")

              SetPrivateProfileString "Microsoft Word", "storevalue", "",

              "WINWORD6.INI"

              WordRight 5, 1

              err = 0

             End Sub

             Note: The OnEntry macro checks the validity of your input

             (this is necessary because the DATEVALUE WordBasic command

             cannot read a date that contains a literal). This macro runs

             when Word moves the insertion point into the FORM field,

             before you type any input.

             OnExit Macro

             ------------

             Sub MAIN

             '"INSERT THE FORM FIELD BOOKMARK NAME IN GetFormResult$"

             HOLD$ = GetFormResult$("TEXT1")

             SERIALDATE = DateValue(HOLD$)

             daynumber = Day(serialdate)

             Select Case daynumber

              Case 1, 21, 31

               daysuffix$ = "d'st day of 'MMMM, yyyy"

              Case 2, 22

               daysuffix$ = "d'nd day of 'MMMM, yyyy"

              Case 3, 23

               daysuffix$ = "d'rd day of 'MMMM, yyyy"

              Case Else

               daysuffix$ = "d'th day of 'MMMM, yyyy"

             End Select

             SetPrivateProfileString "Microsoft Word", "DateFormat",

              daysuffix$, "WINWORD6.INI"

             SetPrivateProfileString "Microsoft Word", "storevalue", hold$,

              "WINWORD6.INI"

             '"INSERT THE FORM FIELD BOOKMARK NAME IN SETFORMRESULT"

             SetFormResult "text1", Date$(serialdate)

             SetPrivateProfileString "Microsoft Word", "DateFormat", "",

              "WINWORD6.INI"

             End Sub

             Note: The OnExit macro runs after you type an entry in the

             FORM field and press TAB or ENTER. This macro formats your

             input as a date in ordinal form.

          b. From the Insert menu, choose Form Field.

          c. Select the Text option and then choose the Options button.

          d. From the Type list, select Date.

          e. From the Entry list, select your OnEntry macro.

          f. From the Exit list, select your OnExit macro, then choose OK.

subdocuments contain identical bookmarks, you will receive the following

error message for each duplicate bookmark found:

     Bookmark '<bookmarkname>' exists in both the subdocument being

     added (<subdocumentname.doc>) and the master document. Would you

     like to rename the bookmark in the subdocument?

If you choose Yes or Yes To All, Word will not rename the bookmarks inside

the fields of your subdocuments. Word will rename each subsequent bookmark

internally, by appending a number to the name. For example, if you have

three subdocuments each containing the bookmark "Name," Word will rename

them as "Name," "Name1," and "Name2." (To locate these bookmarks choose

Bookmark from the Edit menu.)

If you respond No or No To All to the above error message, the bookmarks

will not be renamed internally nor inside the fields of the subdocuments.

This will cause incorrect results when you update any fields that contain

prompts, such as ASK fields.

If you select the Help button in the above error message dialog box, you

will get the message:

     Help topic does not exist.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Open each subdocument, turn on field codes and replace the

          bookmarks before adding the subdocuments to the master document.

Method 2: Lock the duplicate ASK, REF, or SET fields to prevent them from

          being updated. To lock a field, place your insertion point inside

          the field code or field result and press CTRL+F11. If you need to

          update the fields at a later time, open the subdocument outside

          of the master document, unlock the fields by pressing

          CTRL+SHIFT+F11, update the fields, lock the fields, and save the

          subdocument.

Mail Merge: Blank Lines Not Suppressed in Included Document

Article ID: Q117338

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you include a document that contains MERGEFIELD fields in your mail

merge main document, Word for Windows does not suppress blank lines in the

included document. (To include a document, insert an INCLUDETEXT field or

choose File from the Insert menu, select the file, select the Link To File

option, and then choose OK.)

In other words, the Don't Print Blank Lines When Data Fields Are Empty

option has no effect on the MERGEFIELD fields in an included document.

Cannot Send Routed Word Document to Second Recipient

Article ID: Q117339

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When a document contains a One After Another routing slip, sometimes Word

for Windows does not send the document to the next person on the routing

slip.

CAUSE

=====

Word cannot correctly send a document if you add names to the routing slip

from your personal electronic mail (email) address book instead of using

your global email post office address list. By design, Word checks and

resolves only the first address on the routing slip when you send the

document.

The first recipient of the routed document cannot send it to the second

recipient if the name, which came from your personal address book, does not

appear in the second recipient's address book. Word uses the personal

address book on the current computer to resolve email names on the routing

slip. If Word cannot resolve the name, it does not send the document.

WORKAROUND

==========

Do not use your personal address book to add recipient names to a One After

Another routing slip; instead, use the global post office address book.

Bin Selection in Word Does Not Work on QMS Printer

Article ID: Q117342

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you print a document from Word for Windows using a different bin

selection than what is shown in Windows Control Panel to the QMS 1725

printer using the QMS version of the PostScript driver (PSCRIPT.DRV version

2.43 from QMS), the bin selection chosen in Word will be ignored and the

bin selection in the Windows Control Panel will be used.

CAUSE

=====

QMS printers use a different version of the PostScript driver than what is

shipped with Windows. Both the QMS version of the PostScript driver and the

Windows version of the PostScript driver have the same name, so when you

install the QMS version of the driver, the Windows version of the driver

gets overwritten.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Set the desired bin selection in Windows Control Panel, and then

          match those same settings from within Word.

Method 2: Use the Windows version of the PostScript driver by following

          these steps:

          a. Exit Word.

          b. Using the File Manager, rename the PSCRIPT.DRV file to

             something else (it is located in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM

             subdirectory).

          c. Install another PostScript printer, such as the Apple

             LaserWriter.

          Note: Using the Windows PostScript driver will not allow you to

          access all the options on the QMS printer, such as multiple bin

          selections.

Method 3: Contact QMS for an updated version of the QMS PostScript driver.

          The updated driver can be downloaded from the QMS bulletin board

          (BBS) by calling (205) 633-3632.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The QMS and PostScript products included here are manufactured by vendors

independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,

regarding these products' performance or reliability.

Microsoft has not tested this problem in other QMS printers using the QMS

version of PostScript driver version 2.43.

Organization Chart Macro Truncates Text Incorrectly

Article ID: Q117343

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you create an organization chart using the OrganizationalChartMaker

macro, sometimes the macro truncates text incorrectly. (This macro is part

of the MACRO60.DOT template supplied with Word for Windows; MACRO60.DOT is

located in the WINWORD\MACROS subdirectory.)

CAUSE

=====

To fit text in the organizational chart boxes, the macro truncates long

strings (over 30 characters). If the line includes a newline character, the

macro deletes that character as well. When this happens, the first line in

the organizational chart box contains the first 30 characters of the first

line, followed by a tab and the first 30 characters of the second line.

This only happens in the first or second line of the organizational chart

box. For example, the macro changes the following entry, whose first line

contains more than 30 characters,

   <TAB> Mister Kevin John Williams Senior

   <TAB> Software Support Engineer

so it appears in the organizational chart box as:

   <TAB> Mister Kevin John Williams Sen <TAB> Software Support Engineer

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

On the first or second line of an item, enter no more than 29 characters if

the line ends with a new-line character (SHIFT+ENTER).

Numbering Resets When Printing a Selection

Article ID: Q117346

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOM

=======

When you print a selection that contains part of a series of numbered

paragraphs, Word for Windows may renumber the selection (only in the

printout) starting with 1. For example, if you select the portion of your

document that contains paragraphs numbered 5 through 9, Word resets the

numbering so 1 through 5 appears on the printout.

This happens with heading numbering, multilevel numbering, or line

numbering.

This does not happen in Word 2.x for Windows.

CAUSE

=====

Word resets numbering in the context of each selection you print.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Increase/Decrease Indent Buttons Don't Change Numbering Level

Article ID: Q117392

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you remove the Increase Indent or Decrease Indent button from the

Formatting toolbar, then add the button back to that toolbar, this button

no longer changes the numbering level on paragraphs to which you applied

multilevel numbering formatting. The button still works to change indent

formatting, but it no longer changes multilevel numbering formatting. (To

modify the Formatting toolbar, choose Customize from the Tools menu, select

the Toolbars tab, and then select Formatting from the Categories list.)

This is also true of the quick key assignments, CTRL+M and CTRL+SHIFT+M.

CAUSE

=====

There are two Word commands that perform an indent, "IncreaseIndent" and

"Indent," and two that remove an indent, "DecreaseIndent" and "UnIndent."

Only the IncreaseIndent and DecreaseIndent commands work to promote and

demote paragraphs in a multilevel list.

The default toolbar button uses the IncreaseIndent and DecreaseIndent

commands for the Increase Indent button. If you add the Increase Indent

button or Decrease Indent button from the Format category in the Customize

dialog box, however, the new buttons incorrectly use the Indent and

UnIndent command, respectively.

The default CTRL+M and CTRL+SHIFT+M implement the "Indent" and "UnIndent"

command, respectively. The default ALT+SHIFT+Right Arrow and ALT+SHIFT+Left

Arrow implement the "IncreaseIndent" and "DecreaseIndent" command,

respectively.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Do not add the Increase or Decrease Indent buttons back to your Formatting

(or any other) toolbar by dragging the button icon back to the toolbar from

the Tools Customize dialog box. Instead, use the instructions below to

select the IncreaseIndent or DecreaseIndent Word command and drag it back

to the toolbar. When you drag the Word command instead of the toolbar

button, the commands retain full functionality.

1. From the Tools menu, choose Customize and then select the Toolbar tab.

2. From the Categories list, select All Commands.

3. With the mouse, select IncreaseIndent or DecreaseIndent in the Commands

   list. When the mouse pointer changes to a gray rectangle, drag the

   command to the Formatting (or other) toolbar and drop it.

4. Choose the Close button.

DisableAutoMacros Disables Only AutoExec from Command Line

Article ID: Q117399

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit" incorrectly states on page 339 that

     You can use the following command line to disable all

     auto macros, including AutoExec:

        winword.exe /mDisableAutoMacros

This incorrect information also appears in WordBasic Help.

When executed from the command line, the DisableAutoMacros instruction

disables ONLY the AutoExec macro but does not disable the AutoNew,

AutoOpen, AutoClose, or AutoExit macros.

WORKAROUND

==========

WARNING:  ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT

YOUR OWN RISK.  Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without

warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not

limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness

for a particular purpose.

To disable all auto macros for the current session of Word, the

DisableAutoMacros command must be issued from inside a macro. Use the

following macro to accomplish this:

     Sub Main

     DisableAutoMacros

     End Sub

If you name this macro "DisableAuto" (without the quotation marks), you can

use the command line "WINWORD.EXE /mDisableAuto" (without the quotation

marks) to disable all auto macros, including the AutoExec macro, for the

entire Word session.

To modify the command line, in Program Manager, select the Word for Windows

icon. From the File menu, choose Properties. Make your changes to the

command line and choose OK.

WordBasic Error 24 Using SetAttr Command

Article ID: Q117400

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run a macro that contains the WordBasic SetAttr command, you

receive the following error:

     WordBasic Err 24

     Bad Parameter

CAUSE

=====

This error occurs when your <attribute> argument is additive and contains a

combination of 32 (Archive) and 4 (System). For example, any of the

following lines will cause this error.

   Example                      Combination that causes the error

   -------                      ---------------------------------

   SetAttr "test.doc", 36       32 (Archive) + 4 (System)

   SetAttr "test.doc", 37       32 + 4 + 1 (Read Only)

   SetAttr "test.doc", 38       32 + 4 + 2 (Hidden)

   SetAttr "test.doc", 39       32 + 4 + 1 + 2

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem, and we will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Set the Archive and System attributes independently in two separate SetAttr

commands--one to apply attribute 4, and the other to apply attribute 32.

Any remaining attributes you want to apply can be added to either of the

two SetAttr command lines.

Magnifier Zooms to 100 Percent in Print Preview

Article ID: Q117402

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Clicking the magnifying glass pointer in the Print Preview window when the

Zoom Control is set to 100 percent does not increase the zoom level, even

though the pointer displays a plus sign.

CAUSE

=====

By design, the maximum zoom level of the magnifying glass pointer is 100

percent.

RESOLUTION

==========

In the Zoom Control box, select a percentage lower than 100 percent (or

type a percentage in the Zoom Control box and press ENTER).

MORE INFORMATION

================

The print preview window in Word allows you to view your document as small

as 10 percent or as large as 200 percent. When in print preview, if the

magnifying glass pointer displays a plus sign, and the Zoom Control box

displays 100 percent or less, it will always zoom to 100 percent. When the

pointer displays a minus sign for zoom percentages above 100 percent,

clicking in the document will zoom to 100 percent.

If the I-beam pointer is displayed instead of the magnifying glass pointer,

click the Magnifier button on the toolbar.

"Feed From" Setting Not Retained in Envelope Printing Options

Article ID: Q117404

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you set printing options for an envelope, Word for Windows does not

retain the Feed From setting if you select Default Tray. By contrast, Word

does retain all other Feed From settings. (To set envelope printing

options, choose Envelopes And Labels from the Tools menu, choose the

Options button, and then select the Printing Options tab.)

CAUSE

=====

The Default Tray setting is printer-driver specific, which means it is

stored with the printer driver, not in your WINWORD.OPT file. As a result,

when you select the Default Tray setting, Word retrieves the name of the

specific tray from the printer driver and changes the Default Tray setting

accordingly. In other words, the Default Tray setting tells Word to

retrieve the tray setting from the printer driver and replace Default Tray

with the specific tray name in the Feed From box.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you want Word to retain a specific Feed From setting for printing

envelopes, do not select Default Tray from the Feed From list; instead,

select a specific tray. Word stores the Feed From setting in your

WINWORD.OPT file as long as it is a specific tray name. The only time Word

does NOT store the Feed From setting is when you select Default Tray; in

this case, Word refers to the printer driver for the setting information.

"Missing Picture" Error After Moving BatchConversion Macro

Article ID: Q117406

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you move the BatchConversion macro from the CONVERT.DOT template to a

different template and then run the macro, the macro's dialog box may

display three boxes with the words "missing picture" in them. This problem

does not affect the operation or reliability of the macro.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs because the pictures used in the dialog box for the

macro are AutoText entries stored in the CONVERT.DOT template. AutoText

entries are not moved automatically to the new template when you move a

macro.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: If you move the BatchConversion macro to a new template, you must

          also move the AutoText entries that contain the graphics. The

          AutoText entries are called "pic1" and "linepic." "Pic1" is a

          diagram using the Word logo and arrows, and "linepic" is a thick

          line.

          To move the AutoText entries from one template to another:

          a. From the File menu, choose Templates.

          b. Choose the Organizer button and select the tab for AutoText.

          c. In the AutoText Available In box on the left side of the

             Organizer, open the template that contains the AutoText entry

             you want to copy or move.

          d. In the AutoText Available In box on the right side of the

             Organizer, open the template to which you want to copy or

             move the AutoText entries.

          e. Select the AutoText entries you want to copy. To select

             individual AutoText entries, hold down the CTRL key and click

             each AutoText entry. To select a series, hold down the SHIFT

             key and click the first and last items in the series.

          f. Choose the Copy button and then choose the Close button.

Method 2: Instead of moving the macro to a new template, you can add the

          CONVERT.DOT template as a global add-in that will make all its

          macros available. To do this, select Templates from the File menu

          and choose the Add button. Select the CONVERT.DOT template and

          choose OK. In the Templates And Add-ins dialog box, make sure

          that CONVERT.DOT is selected and choose OK. You can access the

          macro by choosing Macro from the Tools menu, then selecting

          CONVERT.DOT in the box below Macros Available In.

Field in Table Heading Row May Not Update on Second Page

Article ID: Q117433

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In a table, if your Table Heading rows contain fields whose results change

on each page (such as PAGE or SEQ fields), Word for Windows may not update

these fields on the second and subsequent pages of your document.

CAUSE

=====

When you add Table Heading rows to your table, Word repeats the table

heading rows at the top of each page. The table heading rows on the second

and subsequent pages have special properties; for example, you cannot

select them, and, if you select the entire document and press F9 to update

fields, Word does not update any fields in the table heading rows.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Avoid inserting fields in your table heading rows that have a

          different result from page to page.

Method 2: Use the instructions below to manually create table headings in a

          multiple-page table. This procedure creates two tables, one in

          the header (at the top of each page) and one in the document

          body. They appear as one table when you print the document.

          a. In your document, cut the table rows you want to appear at the

             top of each page.

          b. From the View menu, choose Header and Footer. In the header,

             paste the table rows you cut in step a above.

          c. From the File menu, choose Page Setup, then select the Margins

             tab.

          d. Type a minus sign (-) before the top margin setting to make it

             a negative number. For example, if your top margin setting is

             1 inch, change it to -1 inch. The minus sign sets a fixed top

             margin that is not pushed down by the header.

          e. Under From Edge, in the Header box, type the top margin minus

             .19 inch, then choose OK. For instance, type .81" for a 1-

             inch top margin. This measurement is usually correct when you

             add a single row table to the header that contains a single

             row of 12-point or smaller text. For a table with additional

             lines, rows or larger text, you must adjust the value that

             you subtract from the top margin setting. You can adjust this

             setting as necessary.

             The following table lists Header From Edge settings for common

             margin values:

                                              Header From

             Top Margin      Change to       Edge Setting

             ----------      ---------       ------------

                2.0"           -2.0"                1.81"

                1.5"           -1.5"                1.31"

                1.0"           -1.0"                 .81"

                0.5"           -0.5"                 .31"

             Note: You can specify the Header From Edge setting to the

             hundredths place (for example, .73 inch).

          f. Select the paragraph following the table in the header.

          g. From the Format menu, choose Paragraph and select the Indents

             and Spacing tab.

          h. In the Line Spacing list, select Exactly. In the At box, type

             "4 pt" (without the quotation marks), then choose OK. This

             minimizes the space between the table in the header and the

             table in the body of your document.

          i. If the header table contains border formatting, remove the

             bottom portion of the border using the following steps:

             1) Select the table.

             2) From the Format menu, choose Borders and Shading.

             3) On the Border diagram, select the bottom border.

             4) Under Line, select the None option and then choose OK.

          j. Switch to page layout view so you can check the relationship

             of the table in the header to the table in the body of the

             document. Adjust the Header From Edge value as necessary,

             using the instructions in step e above.

LockDocument Command Does Not Unlock Subdocuments

Article ID: Q117510

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

- Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run the WordBasic "LockDocument 0" statement, with the insertion

point in the master document, Word does not remove the read-only protection

from (that is, unlock) the subdocuments, as expected.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 and 6.0a for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here

in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

The WordBasic LockDocument statement should work as described on page 559

of the "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit" or in the Help file for WordBasic.

These sources state that the LockDocument statement adds or removes read-

only protection for a document's subdocuments if the insertion point is

within the master document when the macro is run.

WORKAROUND

==========

To unlock the subdocuments using a macro containing the "LockDocument 0"

command, you must manually place the insertion point in each subdocument

before running the macro. You can create a routine to unlock all the

subdocuments by including the "LockDocument 0" command in a While. . .wend

loop.

Undocumented Arguments for DisableInput Statement

Article ID: Q117579

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The DisableInput WordBasic statement responds to the following undocumented

arguments:

Argument    Explanation

--------    -----------

   2        Completely disables the ESC key. ESC cancels neither a macro

            nor a dialog box.

   3        Disables the mouse.

   4        Completely disables both the ESC key and the mouse.

   5        Enables the ESC key for canceling both macros and dialog boxes.

   6        Enables the mouse.

Microsoft did not document these arguments because they were not fully

tested in time for the release of Word. Microsoft did, however, use some of

these arguments in the macros supplied with Word.

Note: Because these DisableInput arguments are undocumented, they may not

be included in future versions of the product. Therefore, to ensure future

functionality of your WordBasic macros, you may want to use other macro

commands instead.

Text in Table Cell Does Not Sort Properly

Article ID: Q117583

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you sort text in a single table cell, some of the text may

disappear or jump to the next column, and the entire table becomes

selected.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior occurs when the selected text is immediately followed by the

end-of-cell character in the table. In other words, there is no paragraph

mark at the end of the last entry to be sorted, and the table cell itself

is not selected.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. This problem

was corrected in Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh and Word version 6.0

for NT Windows.

WORKAROUND

Missing Borders on Multipage Table Using Table AutoFormat

Article ID: Q117584

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you apply a border to a multipage table using the Table AutoFormat

command, the top and bottom table borders may display and print

incorrectly.

If the table contains a heading row, the top border will appear on the

first and subsequent pages, while the bottom table border will be missing

on all but the last page of the table. If the table does not contain a

heading row, the top border will print only on the first page of the table,

and the bottom border will print only on the last page of the table.

CAUSE

=====

The Table AutoFormat command is manually applying a line border to each

side of the table. The top and bottom borders are not repeating on

subsequent pages when the table splits across multiple pages.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you have applied borders using the Table AutoFormat feature, first

remove the borders. To do this:

1. Place your insertion point in the table.

2. From the Table menu, choose Table Autoformat.

3. Under Formats, select (none) and choose OK.

NOTE: You can also remove autoformatting by choosing Borders And Shading

from the Format menu, selecting None under Presets, and choosing OK.

Once the borders are removed, reapply them using the Borders And

Shading command on the Format menu.

How to Change Default Settings in the File Print Dialog Box

Article ID: Q117621

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

By design, Word for Windows does not retain most of the settings you select

in the File Print dialog box. When you close the File Print dialog box,

Word restores the program defaults for all settings except the Print To

File option. This article describes how you can modify the FilePrint Word

command to change the default settings in the File Print dialog box.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Only the Print To File option in the File Print dialog box retains the

setting you selected last time you ran the command. You can use WordBasic

commands to modify the FilePrint command to change the other settings.

Word is designed so that if you create a macro with the same name as a Word

command, the macro runs instead of the Word command. For example, if you

create a macro named FilePrint, it runs instead of the Word command of the

same name. Use the following procedure to create a FilePrint macro that

sets different printing defaults:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

2. From the Macros Available In list, select All Active Templates or

   Normal.dot (Global Template).

3. In the Macro Name box, type "FilePrint" (without the quotation marks)

   and then choose the Create button. Word opens a macro editing window

   with the following macro text:

   Sub MAIN

   Dim dlg As FilePrint

   GetCurValues dlg

   Dialog dlg

   FilePrint dlg

   End Sub

4. Change the macro to the following:

   Sub MAIN

   Dim dlg As FilePrint

   GetCurValues dlg

   'Add commands for new default settings HERE

   n = Dialog dlg                             ' modified line

   If n = - 1 Then FilePrint dlg              ' modified line

   End Sub

   WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR

   OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of

   any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the

   implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular

   purpose.

5. Use the table below to find the syntax for the File Print setting you

   want to change. Insert the command on a new line, after the

   "GetCurValues dlg" command in the above macro (in the above macro,

   replace the "Add commands for new default settings HERE" comment with

   the new commands). To change more than one setting, add lines to the

   macro at this location.

   To change this setting        Add this line       Comments

   ----------------------        -------------       --------

   Copies                        dlg.NumCopies = n   Where n is a number

   Print Range (choose one):

     Current Page                dlg.Range = 3

     Selection*                  dlg.Range = 2       *See comment below

     Pages                       dlg.Range = 4

   Print (choose one):                               Default is All

     Odd Pages                   dlg.Order = 1

     Even Pages                  dlg.Order = 2

   Collate Copies Off            dlg.Collate = 0     Default is On

    * If nothing is selected in your document, the macro prints the

      current page.

   For example, to clear the Collate Copies option by default, change your

   FilePrint macro to the following:

   Sub MAIN

   Dim dlg As FilePrint

   GetCurValues dlg

   dlg.Collate = 0

   n = Dialog dlg

   If n = - 1 Then FilePrint dlg

   End Sub

5. Close the macro editing window and choose Yes when Word prompts you to

   save changes to the FilePrint macro.

   IMPORTANT: If, when you quit Word, it prompts you to save changes

   to NORMAL.DOT, be sure to choose Yes. Otherwise, Word will not save

   the FilePrint macro you modified.

Some Fonts Not Listed in Find/Replace Font Dialog

Article ID: Q117658

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0

- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you search for a font in a document using Word's Find or Replace

command, the font is not listed in the Font list box of the Find Font

dialog box.

CAUSE

=====

This problem can occur if the font is embedded in the Word document. In the

Find Font dialog box, Word lists only those fonts that are installed in the

operating system--fonts embedded in a Word document are not available as

formatting options in Word's Find and Replace commands.

Text formatted with an embedded font is listed in the font list on the

Formatting toolbar. This information is preserved to facilitate round-trip

transfer between different computers and platforms.

RESOLUTION

==========

To search for a font that is embedded in a document but not installed in

the operating system, type the font name into the Font list box in the Find

Font dialog box:

1. From the Edit menu, choose Find.

2. Choose the Format button and then choose Font.

3. Select the Font tab.

4. Type the font name in the Font box. Choose OK.

Doc Err: FILENAME Help Topic Contains "/p" Instead of "\p"

Article ID: Q117692

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In the "FILENAME field" Word Help topic, the "\p switch" instruction

appears to use a forward slash (/) instead of a backslash (\) character.

CAUSE

=====

Wherever the "\p" switch is formatted as italic, it looks like a forward

slash instead of a backslash. This Word for Windows Help topic is correct,

but it appears incorrect.

Note: Wherever the "\p" switch is not formatted as italic, it displays

correctly.

RESOLUTION

==========

Use the backslash (\) before the "p" switch.

Heading Numbering Does Not Reset for New Sections

Article ID: Q117694

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you number headings in a document using the Heading Numbering command

on the Format menu, you cannot use multiple heading numbering formats nor

change the starting number without affecting the entire document, even

though the document may be divided into sections.

For example, your document cannot contain both of the following numbering

schemes when using the Heading Numbering command:

   I. First level heading

      A. Second level heading

         1. Third level heading

   <Section break>

   1. First level heading

      1.1. Second level heading

           1.1.1. Third level heading

Choosing the Restart Numbering At Each New Section option resets each

section to start at the number you specified in the Start At box. For

example, if you choose to Start At 4, all sections of your document will

begin at 4. (To locate these options, choose Heading Numbering from the

Format menu, and choose the Modify button.)

Word Help incorrectly states that Restart Numbering At Each New Section

"restarts page numbering at the beginning of each section." This option

does not affect page numbering, it affects heading numbering.

CAUSE

=====

By design, heading numbering is a document-specific property that can be

applied only to paragraphs formatted with the built-in heading styles

(Heading 1 through Heading 9). Since it is document specific and not

section specific, any modifications you make to the heading numbering

format will affect the entire document.

Selecting the Restart Numbering At Each New Section option will renumber

each section beginning with the number specified in the Start At box. It

does not provide the option to set a new initial number for a new section.

WORKAROUND

==========

To specify different starting numbers for each of your sections or to use

different styles of numbering, use the multilevel numbering feature. The

drawback to this method is that you cannot apply multilevel numbering to

text that has been formatted with built-in heading styles.

To use multilevel numbering, first remove the heading styles, choose

Bullets And Numbering from the Format menu, and select the Multilevel tab.

DocErr: Online Help Shows SET Field Incorrectly

Article ID: Q117696

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The Word 6.0 for Windows Readme Help file incorrectly shows the following

sample SET field:

   {if {mergefield state} = "CA" {set phone "1-415-555-1234"} {set

   phone "1-415-555-4237}}

Help ought to show:

   {set phone {if {mergefield state} = "CA" "1-415-555-1234" "1-415-

   555-4237"}}

The first example is wrong because fields update from left to right, and

from the inside to the outside. When two fields are placed inside an IF

field, the left-most field is updated first, and its result is replaced by

the second field. Thus, the IF field will use the most recent value of the

SET field.

TimeValue() Function Returns Incorrect Time Value

Article ID: Q117699

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The TimeValue macro function ignores the "p" in "2:04 p" and returns a

serial number for "2:04 am" instead.

CAUSE

=====

The times listed below all refer to the same time, 2:04 in the afternoon.

   2:04 pm

   2:04 PM

   2:04 p

   2:04 P

When the values "p" or "P" are passed to the WordBasic TimeValue()

function, TimeValue() fails to recognize them as being valid notations for

"pm". It instead ignores the "p" and treats the value as a morning time

value--that is, "am".

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use "PM", "pm", "AM" or "am" instead of "P", "p", "A" or "a" when passing

values to the TimeValue() function.

SYMPTOMS

========

If you create a Word Mail Merge document and try to attach a data source

in the Select Directory dialog box, Word is unable to attach the data file.

CAUSE

=====

ODBC drivers do not support the use of UNC connections.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To avoid this problem, you should first make a network connection to the

drive where the data source resides, then attach the data source using the

drive letter.

 - Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1, 3.11

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print a Word 6.0 document containing paragraph shading to a

Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 4 (HPPCL5E.DRV version 1.30 or earlier), the

paragraph shading prints at 300dpi even if the printer driver is set for

600dpi.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem, and we will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you insert a figure into the drawing layer, such as a rectangle, the

paragraph shading will now print at 600dpi when the printer driver is set

for 600dpi. Formatting the border and fill as White or None does not allow

you to print the shading at 600dpi.

Errors Saving Files or Running Wizards over PC-NFS Networks

Article ID: Q117703

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 5.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you are running Word on a Cameleon NFS, DEC PathWorks or

Sun PC-NFS network, you get the following behavior:

Case 1: Saving a Document

        When you save a document, the following error message may occur :

           Word cannot save or create this file. Make sure the disk is not

           write protected.

        -or-

        You are able to save to the local drive but, recieve the following

        message when you attempt to save to a network drive.

            Word cannot save this document.  Be sure the drive is not full

            or write-protected.

        Note:  You may be able to use file manager to move documents to the

        network drive but you are unable to access the documents directly

        from within Word for Windows.

Case 2: Running a Wizard

        If you run a wizard, the following error message may occur:

           Error 1025: Cannot open the document.

Case 3: Opening a document:

        If you try to open a document the following error message may

        occur:

           Error 1025: Word cannot open the document.

CAUSE

=====

These error messages occur when Word cannot create a docfile (the OLE2

[object linking and embedding version 2.0] file format). This happens when

your connection to a PC-NFS network drive does not include file locking

(also known as mandatory record locking). File-locking functionality does

not exist when you create the connection WITHOUT using the /NS ("no share")

switch or if you create the connection WITH the /MS ("must share") switch.

For example, both of the following commands create a connection to a PC-NFS

network that does not include file locking:

   NET USE F: SUNNY:/HOME/WINWORD6 /MS

   NET USE F: SUNNY:/HOME/WINWORD6

RESOLUTION

==========

Change the /MS switch to /NS, or add the /NS switch if it is missing from

your network connection command line. The following sample command line

creates a connection on a PC-NFS network that supports file locking:

   NET USE F: SUNNY:/HOME/WINWORD6 /NS

MORE INFORMATION

================

Record-Locking Information

--------------------------

The following information comes from page 75 in the "DEC PathWorks PC-NFS

5.0 Administration Guide:"

   File sharing provides security at the file level. However, many

   applications require that a common database be updated by multiple

   clients (for example, a transaction-based stock control application).

   For this kind of situation, MS-DOS 3.1 or later supports record locking

   mode, also known as byte-range locking. Record locking lets you

   temporarily deny other users access to a particular section of a file.

   PC-NFS software supports advisory record locking. It does not provide

   mandatory locking. It is important to be aware of the distinction

   between mandatory and advisory record locking in order to adequately

   protect the integrity of your files in a networked environment.

   Mandatory record locking means that if you lock part or all of a file,

   no other application can access the locked portion of the file.

   Mandatory locking prevents access to the locked portion of a file,

   regardless of the consistency of locking requests by other users.

   Advisory record locking ensures that locking requests are granted

   consistently.

regarding these products' performance or reliability.

cc:Mail Address Book Sorted and Listed by First Name in Word

Article ID: Q117704

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, with Lotus cc:Mail as your electronic mail (E-mail)

program, if you use the Send or Add Routing Slip commands on the File menu

and access the address book, the names may not appear in the same order as

they display when you access the address book directly in cc:Mail.

For example, in Word, the names may display in "FirstName LastName" format,

sorted by either first or last name, while they appear in cc:Mail in

"LastName, FirstName" format, sorted by last name.

This discrepancy makes it difficult to look up names, especially in large

address books.

Note: The problem described in this article is not the same as the Word 6.0

MAPIVIM.DLL problem in which Word 6.0 hangs when you send E-mail via

cc:Mail. For information about this problem, which was corrected in Word

6.0a, query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   mapivim.dll and hang and cc:mail and hourglass

CAUSE

=====

This discrepancy occurs only if you are using a version of the cc:Mail

VIM.DLL file with a creation date later than 09/09/93 and earlier than

03/22/94.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Lotus has an updated version of the VIM.DLL file, dated 03/22/94,

          that corrects this problem. You can obtain this file from any of

          the following sources:

           - Phone cc:Mail Technical Support at (415) 966-4900.

           - Download the file VDLWIN.ZIP from the cc:Mail Technical

             Support BBS (bulletin board system) at (415) 691-0401.

           - Download the file VDLWIN.ZIP from CompuServe, in the cc:Mail-

             VIM section.

Method 2: As a temporary workaround, you can install an earlier version of

          the VIM.DLL file, dated 09/09/93 or earlier.

The cc:Mail products included here are manufactured by Lotus Development

Corporation, vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied

or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.

Article ID: Q117705

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how to add a PREPAID or DEPOSIT row to the

INVOICE.DOT template, supplied with Word for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Use the following steps to add a PREPAID or DEPOSIT row to the bottom of

INVOICE.DOT:

 1. Open the INVOICE.DOT file, which is protected.

 2. From the Tools menu, choose Unprotect Document.

 3. Position the insertion point at the beginning of the SALES TAX cell.

 4. From the Table menu, choose Insert Rows. A new row should appear

    between the SUBTOTAL and SALES TAX rows.

 5. In the first cell of the new row, type "PREPAID" or "DEPOSIT" (without

    the quotation marks). Your modified table should now appear as follows:

                  SUBTOTAL|  **** | <- cell D9  (contains a FORM field)

                   DEPOSIT|       | <- cell D10 (blank)

                 SALES TAX|  **** | <- cell D11 (contains a FORM field)

       SHIPPING & HANDLING|  **** | <- cell D12 (contains a FORM field)

                 TOTAL DUE|  **** | <- cell D13 (contains a FORM field)

 6. Position the insertion point in the second cell of the new row (cell

    D10 in the above diagram).

 7. From the Insert menu, choose Form Field.

 8. Select the Text option and then choose the Option button.

 9. In the Text Form Field Options dialog box, select the following

    settings and then choose OK:

    a. In the Type box, select Number.

    b. Under Run Macro On, select Update from the Exit list.

    c. Under Field Settings, type "Deposit" or "Prepaid" (without the

       quotation marks) in the Bookmark box.

    d. Leave all the other settings at their default values.

10. Double-click the FORM field to the right of the TOTAL DUE cell (cell

    D13 in the diagram in step 5 above). The Text Form Field Options dialog

    box should open.

11. In the Text Form Field Options dialog box, modify the entry in the

    Expression box so it reads as follows, then choose OK:

       =SUM(D9,D11,D12)-SUM(D10)

12. Use the following instructions to modify the Update macro:

    a. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

    b. From the Macro Name list, select Update and then choose the Edit

       Button.

    c. In the macro editing window, change this portion of the macro

          If fieldName$ = "Shipping" Or fieldName$ = "SalesTax"  Then

           Goto TOTAL

          EndIf

       to the following:

          If fieldName$ = "Shipping" Or fieldName$ = "SalesTax" \

          Or fieldName$ = "Deposit" Then

           Goto TOTAL

          EndIf

       Note: In the above macro, "Deposit" is the bookmark name you set in

       step 9c above. If you set a different bookmark name in step 9c, use

       that name instead of "Deposit" in the Update macro.

FileSaveAs Doc Err: Incorrect .Format Argument Explanation

Article ID: Q117751

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

There is a documentation error in the Word for Windows online WordBasic

Help in the FileSaveAs topic. The same error occurs on page 445 of the

"Microsoft Word Developer's Kit."

These resources contain the following incorrect information:

   You can specify other file formats, which must be listed in the

   [MSWord Text Converters] section of the WIN.INI file. To determine

   the appropriate value, count down, starting at 0 (zero), to the file

   format you want, and then add 100.

Instead, online Help and the "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit" should state

the following correct information:

   You can specify other file formats if they are listed in the [MSWord

   Text Converters] section of your WINWORD6.INI file or the [MS Text

   Converters] section of your WIN.INI file. To determine the appropriate

   value for the .Format argument, count down, starting at 0 (zero) in the

   [MSWord Text Converters] section of your WINWORD6.INI file. Continue

   counting, starting with the next number, in the [MS Text Converters]

   section of your WIN.INI file, until you get to the file format you

   want. Then add 100 and use that number as the value of the .Format

   argument. For example, if you count down to 12, the value for the

   .Format argument is 112.

Below is a table that lists the .Format argument values for a sample

WINWORD6.INI and WIN.INI file:

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To avoid counting the WINWORD6.INI and WIN.INI entries manually, create a

macro that uses the ConverterLookup() function to return the correct value

for the .Format argument. See the sample macros on page 303 of the

"Microsoft Word Developer's Kit" or the "ConverterLookup()" topic in online

WordBasic Help for more information.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following six formats are internal to Word for Windows, so they always

use the same number for the .Format argument:

.Format     File

Argument    Format

--------    ------

   0        Normal (Word format)

   1        Document Template

   2        Text Only (extended characters saved in ANSI character set)

   3        Text+Breaks (plain text with line breaks; extended

            characters saved in ANSI character set)

   4        Text Only (PC-8) (extended characters saved in IBM PC

            character set)

   5        Text+Breaks (PC-8) (text with line breaks; extended

            characters saved in IBM PC character set)

   6        Rich-text format (RTF)

Macro to Test for an Existing Style Name

Article ID: Q117826

SUMMARY

=======

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

When you write macros in Word for Windows, you may need to test for the

existence of a style name before modifying or deleting the style. If your

macro does not check for the existence of a style before attempting to

modify or delete the style, the FormatStyle command may return the

following error message:

  "This style name does not exist."

The following WordBasic macro tests for an existing style named "Test." If

the style exists, the style is deleted.

Sub MAIN

sStyleName$ = "Test"

If StyleDesc$(sStyleName$) = "" Then

 MsgBox sStyleName$ + " does not exist", "Style Name"

Else

 FormatStyle .Name = sStyleName$, .Delete

WordBasic Macro: Displaying a List of Files from a Directory

Article ID: Q117873

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The Microsoft WordBasic Files$() function can be used to assemble a list of

filenames within a directory. The Files$() function returns the first

filename that matches the specified file specification (for example: *.* or

*.DOC). If you specify a file specification on the first iteration and then

omit it thereafter, you can generate a list of files.

The following macro example inserts the filenames from the current

directory into a new document window:

Sub MAIN

FileNewDefault

doc$ = Files$("*.*")

While doc$ <> ""

 Insert doc$

 InsertPara

 doc$ = Files$()

Wend

End Sub

To insert only the filenames with a ".DOC" extension, change "*.*" to

"*.DOC" in the above example.

MORE INFORMATION

================

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

The following macro example determines how many files are in the current

directory and defines an array named List$() to hold the filenames. Because

the Files$() function returns the filenames with the full path (for

example, C:\DOCUMENT.DOC), the FileNameInfo$() function is used to extract

just the filenames which are then assigned to elements within the List$()

array.

Sub MAIN

REM Determine how many files are in the current directory.

count = - 1

temp$ = Files$("*.*")

While temp$ <> ""

 count = count + 1

 temp$ = Files$()

Wend

If count > - 1 Then

 Dim List$(count)    'dimension array for filenames

Else

 MsgBox "There are no files in the current directory."

 Goto theend

EndIf

REM Extract the filename from the full path string.

REM Assign the filenames to elements in the List$() array.

doc$ = Files$("*.*")

For i = 0 To count

 List$(i) = FileNameInfo$(doc$, 3)

doc$ = Files$()

Next i

REM Sort the array of filenames and display them in a list box.

SortArray List$()

NOTE: The disk that accompanies the "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit,"

includes a macro that allows you to browse through files in any directory.

The macro uses a dynamic dialog box to display a file and directory list

similar to Word's Open dialog box. The macro is named ch05ex06FileBrowser

and is located in the EXAMPLES.DOT file.

Tabbed Text Misaligns with Center Paragraph Alignment

Article ID: Q118314

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Tabbed text within a centered paragraph causes the text to be positioned

incorrectly. In some cases the text may extend past the right margin of the

document, or the tab stops appear to be ignored.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior occurs because Word aligns tabs before it aligns the

paragraph.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

If you need to include centered and left- or right-aligned text on the same

line, set tabs for each of these alignment options.

SYMPTOMS

========

Hyphenation is not available when your document is protected for forms or

All Body Text Prints with "Show First Line Only" Selected

Article ID: Q118316

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print from outline view or master document view with the Show

First Line Only option selected, all body text will print, even though only

the first line of each paragraph displays on the screen. If you display the

document in print preview, all body text will display. (To locate the Show

First Line Only button, display the Outline toolbar. The button is between

the All button and the Show Format button.)

The Word Help topic for "Printing an Outline" and the "Microsoft Word

User's Guide" state, "When you print in outline view, Word prints only the

headings and body text paragraphs displayed on the screen. You can control

the amount of detail printed by expanding or collapsing the outline."

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In outline and master document views you can choose to view only the first

line of body text in each paragraph by selecting the Show First Line Only

option. This option does not affect the display of heading text.

Normally, when you print from outline or master document view, the printout

reflects the way text appears on the screen. All of the other buttons on

the outline toolbar, including the Show Heading Levels and Show Formatting,

make changes on the screen that also affect printing.

Currently there is no way to print only the first line of the body text.

You can easily prevent body text from printing by viewing the appropriate

heading levels (1-9) instead of choosing All on the Outline Toolbar.

Protect for Annotations Causes Fields to Revise Continuously

Article ID: Q118318

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you work on a document that is protected for annotations and that

contains field codes (specifically the following fields: PAGE, SEQ,

STYLEREF, INDEX (single column), TOC, and DATE), the following symptoms

will appear:

 - The field code results will revise continuously. If revision marking is

   turned on, the field codes may appear with strikethrough or underline

   marks.

 - The number of pages in the document may rapidly increase, and the page

   size may appear to change to accommodate the revised fields.

This behavior is most noticeable in larger documents when you switch to, or

work in, print preview or page layout view. The document may appear to grow

so large that it becomes unmanageable. In both page layout and normal

views, the status bar may indicate the page numbers incrementing as the

document is repaginated.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: a. From the Tools menu, choose Unprotect Document.

          b. Enter the password and choose OK. Edit the document.

Method 2: Use the following macro to unprotect the document, allow the user

          to give the password, print the document, and protect it again

          for annotations.

          ToolsUnprotectDocument

          FilePrint

          ToolsProtectDocument .DocumentPassword = "test", .NoReset = 0,

          .Type = 1

          WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS

          AT YOUR OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is"

          without warranty of any kind, either express or implied,

          including but not limited to the implied warranties of

          merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Method 3: Unlink the fields before protecting the document. The drawback to

          this is that once the fields are unlinked, they become normal

          text and they can no longer be updated.

Article ID: Q118348

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you enter an out-of-range value for the number of columns in the Format

Columns dialog box, Word displays the following error message multiple

times:

   The number must be between 1 and 45.

The number of times the error message appears varies depending on whether

you press ENTER on the keyboard or choose the OK button. In addition, if

the mouse pointer rests over the OK button, the OK button will appear

depressed. This behavior does not cause any problems with your Word

document.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Choose OK until the message disappears, then change the number of columns

to a valid number between 1 and 45.

Subtotal Incorrect in INVOICE.DOT and PURCHORD.DOT

Article ID: Q118439

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When using the Invoice or Purchase Order template, if you enter a negative

number in the Unit Price column, the Subtotal form field will incorrectly

calculate, and the Total will reflect an incorrect amount.

CAUSE

=====

The Subtotal form field in the template contains the SUM(ABOVE)

formula, which is not calculating negative numbers.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Modify the Subtotal form field expression to specify a range instead of the

ABOVE argument.

Use the following steps to change the expression of the form field:

1. From the File menu, choose Open. Change to the Template subdirectory and

   open the INVOICE.DOT or PURCHORD.DOT template.

2. Unprotect the template by choosing Unprotect Document from the Tools

   menu.

3. Double-click the Subtotal form field.

4. In the Text Form Field Options dialog box, change the expression from

   =SUM(ABOVE) to =SUM(D2:D8) and choose OK.

5. Protect the template by choosing Protect Document from the Tools menu.

   Select Forms and choose OK.

6. Save and close the template.

"Command Failed" Running ToolsOptionsSpelling Macro

Article ID: Q118440

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following WordBasic command

   ToolsOptionsSpelling .Type=<n>

will produce the "Command Failed" Error when "n" = 2, 3, or 4.

CAUSE

=====

By design, Word allows you to specify 1 of 5 types of predefined

dictionaries. Word will generate a Command Failed error when the specified

dictionary is not installed.

The 5 types are as follows:

     0     Normal

     1     Concise

     2     Complete

     3     Medical

     4     Legal

RESOLUTION

==========

If you are using Word's default dictionary, specify 0 (zero) for the type

argument.

If you are using a supplemental dictionary, confirm that the Type

corresponds to the type of dictionary you are using.

Double Underline Prints Too Close Together

Article ID: Q118442

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A double underline may print too close to the text, or the lines forming

the double underline may print so close together that it may be hard to

distinguish from a single underline.

The problem is most noticeable when you use the Hewlett-Packard (HP)

LaserJet II or III driver printing to either a II, III, or 4 printer.

Using the 4 driver doesn't seem to present the same spacing problems. The

HP 4 does a better job, but some fonts may print with the underlining too

close together.

When you use any of the above HP printer drivers, and probably other

drivers as well, the underlining appears too close to the text, and it cuts

off the descenders.

CAUSE

=====

Word 6.0 for Windows gets information about how to format the double

underline from information contained in the printer driver (text metrics).

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Change the resolution of the HP LaserJet 4 printer driver to

          300dpi to add additional space between the underlines or between

          the baseline of the text and the underline. The drawback to this

          method is that some fonts will continue to print with incorrect

          double underline spacing.

Method 2: Change to a different TrueType or printer font.

Documents Print Garbage on DeskJet After Word 6.0a Upgrade

Article ID: Q118443

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

After you install Word 6.0a for Windows or upgrade Word 6.0 for Windows to

6.0a using the Upgrade Patch, documents may print to an HP DeskJet series

printer with "garbage" (corrupt characters) or vertical bars.

CAUSE

=====

Word 6.0a for Windows and the 6.0a Upgrade Patch update the Universal

Printer Driver (UNIDRV.DLL) to version 3.1.4. This version of the Universal

Printer Driver is incompatible with the DeskJet series driver

(HPDSKJET.DRV) version 1.1.

The problem does not occur with later versions of the Universal Printer

Driver, or with later versions of the DeskJet series driver (HPDSKJET.DRV

version 2.0 or later, or DESKJETC.DRV versions 3.1 or later).

Versions 3.1 or later of the deskjet driver (DESKJETC.DRV) do not use the

Universal Printer Driver, while the original deskjet driver (HPDSKJET.DRV

version 1.1) does.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed that there is an incompatibility between the

HPDSKJET.DRV version 1.1 and the UNIDRV.DLL version 3.1.4, which ships with

Microsoft Word version 6.0a for Windows. We are researching this problem

and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it

becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Contact HP for an update to the DeskJet series driver (DESKJETC.DRV)

version 3.1 or later by calling (303) 353-7650.

WORKAROUND

==========

Set the Print resolution to 150 DPI.

1. From the File menu, choose Print

2. Choose the Printer button.

3. Choose the Options button.

4. Select Draft Quality, from the Print Quality list box.

Unprotecting Section Immediately After Index Unprotects Index

Article ID: Q118444

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Document protection fails to protect the index entry section when the

section immediately following the index section is excluded from

protection. (To locate this option, from the Tools menu, choose Protect

Document and choose Forms. Choose the Sections button to check or uncheck

protection for specific sections.)

CAUSE

=====

When you insert an index, Word inserts a continuous section break above and

below the index. When you exclude the section immediately

following the index, you also exclude the index. This behavior is by

design.

RESOLUTION

==========

Insert a continuous section break immediately following the end of section

break below the Index. You will be able to unprotect this new section

without unprotecting the index.

Undocumented Word Keyboard Startup Options

Article ID: Q118453

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

If you press the OPTION key while you start Word for the Macintosh, Word

starts without displaying "Tip of the Day." This is the equivalent of

starting Word with the /W startup switch.

If you press the SHIFT key while you start Word, the program starts without

any global templates (including NORMAL.DOT), add-ins, or the Word Settings

(6) file. This is the equivalent of starting Word with the /A switch.

To use either key as a startup switch, double-click the Word application

icon and then immediately press and hold the SHIFT or OPTION key.

OPTION+TAB Does Not Insert Tab in "Labels and Envelopes"

Article ID: Q118454

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word for the Macintosh does not insert a tab character in any of the

following dialog boxes when you press OPTION+TAB:

 - The Create Label dialog box when you use the Mail Merge command to

   create mailing labels.

 - The Tools Envelopes And Labels dialog box, under either the Envelopes or

   Labels tab.

By contrast, Word inserts a tab character as expected when you press

OPTION+TAB in a table.

NOTE: In Word 6.0 for Windows, you can insert a tab in both the Create

Label dialog box and under the Labels tab in the Envelopes And Labels

dialog box by pressing CTRL+TAB. However, if you press CTRL+TAB under the

Envelopes tab of the Envelopes and Labels dialog box, Word switches to the

Labels tab instead.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you want to insert a table character in your labels or envelopes, you

must add the tab directly in your Word document, after you close the Create

Label or Envelopes And Labels dialog boxes.

To insert space in these dialog boxes, press SPACEBAR instead.

Pressing COMMAND While Dragging Toolbar Prevents Docking

Article ID: Q118455

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word for the Macintosh does not dock a toolbar at the edge of the Word

window if you press the COMMAND key while you drag the toolbar. As a

result, you can drag most of the toolbar past the edge of the screen, where

it is not visible.

CAUSE

=====

By default, Word docks a toolbar at the edge of the screen, which prevents

you from dragging the toolbar off the screen. When you press COMMAND while

you drag a toolbar with the mouse, however, Word overrides this default

behavior, so you can drag the toolbar past the edge of the screen.

In Word 6.0, you no longer need to press COMMAND to drag a toolbar to a new

location with the mouse. This functionality is different in Word 6.0 than

in previous versions of Word for the Macintosh, in which you must press

COMMAND in order to drag a toolbar to a new location.

RESOLUTION

==========

If you drag a toolbar off the screen, you can restore its position by

double-clicking an empty area on the toolbar.

To move the toolbar within the Word window, you don't need to press

COMMAND. You can move the toolbar by positioning the mouse pointer in an

empty area on the toolbar and then dragging the toolbar to the location you

want. When you reach the edge of the Word window, the dotted outline of the

toolbar stops, even if you continue dragging.

Woody's Office Power Pack for Word for Windows, version 6.0

Article ID: Q118477

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Woody's Office Power Pack (WOPR 6.0) is a collection of add-in tools for

Word for Windows, version 6.0. You can install all or some of the tools

through the WOPR Setup program. Some of these tools will replace Word

commands with customized macros.

WOPR also includes instructions for removing each tool in the "WOPR Quick

Start News," included with the package.

The major tools supplied with WOPR are: Enveloper, File Manager, TBEdit,

Two-by-Four, File New, Stellar Spellar, WinBreak Lite, TSS Address Book

Lite, and Little WOPRs. Following is a description of each of these tools:

Enveloper

---------

This feature allows the printing of POSTNET bar codes at the bottom of the

envelope, either above or below the addressee information. It allows you to

print logos, graphics, and notes on your envelopes. You can maintain

multiple customized envelopes for different situations: envelope size,

return address, note, logo, FIM markings, fonts, and so forth. You can also

look up a saved address from within Enveloper by clicking on a button that

consults the WOPR Address Book utility.

File Manager

------------

The File Manager allows you to open, copy, move, rename, delete, and print

documents from one dialog box within Word. You can change file attributes,

make new directories, preview file contents and summary information, and

jump to commonly used subdirectories. The File Manager shows the file's

size, date, author, title, subject, and the first few pages of the document

before you open it. It also provides the ability to create new directories

just before saving your documents.

TBEdit

------

This is a replacement toolbar editor. It allows you to draw with different

kinds of brushes; nudge drawings up, down, left, or right one bit at a

time; fill, rotate, and flip; and take a snapshot of anything on the

screen, turning it into a toolbar button. You can store icons in files for

future use.

Two-by-Four

-----------

This is a Word 6.0 macro add-in with several multi-page printing features

including Duplex, 2Up, 4Up, TriFold Pamphlets, Greeting Cards, Thumbnails

and Booklets. Using this tool you can print two, four, or more pages on a

single sheet of paper.

File New

--------

WOPR's File New dialog lets you create descriptions for all of your

templates and assign them to subdirectories of your choosing. For example,

you can assign "Short Form Invoices" to your INV.DOT template and indicate

that all new Short Form Invoices should be stored in

C:\WINWORD\INVOICE\SHORTFM. The next time you need a Short Form Invoice,

choose New from the File menu and select Short Form Invoices from the list.

Stellar Spellar

---------------

This tool allows you to use the right mouse button to spell check whatever

word the cursor is pointing at. Clicking the right mouse button on a word

results in a list of alternate spellings. By scrolling down the list and

selecting the correct spelling, you replace the misspelled word. By holding

down the CTRL key when you right-mouse click, your selection automatically

creates an AutoCorrect entry for the misspelled word.

WinBreak Lite

-------------

WinBreak helps you to remember to take a break by putting a reminder up on

your screen (or playing a wave file). WinBreak counts keystrokes and

watches your mouse movement to determine when you need to take a break. You

can set up both the time between breaks as well as the length of break you

think you should take.

TSS Address Book Lite

---------------------

This tool keeps track of your most frequently needed names, addresses, and

phone numbers. One click will insert a name, address, and salutation

directly into your document. You can print a detailed report of all your

TSS Address Book records. The full version of TSS Address Book is included

as part of both "Total System Solutions Fileware" (TM), and "DocuPower Pro"

(TM). WOPR users receive a "lite" version and are entitled to a discount on

either of the full versions.

Little WOPRs

------------

This add-in package includes the following Word 6.0 macros.

   Macro               Description

   -----               -----------

   AllKeys             Generates a table of all key assignments

   View Characters     Shows ANSI codes of any character

   ViewHeader          Brings back the Word 2.0 header/footer functionality

   DupStyle            Lets you make an exact copy of an existing style

Drag and Drop Disabled with Modeless Dialog Box Active

Article ID: Q118480

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Drag-and-drop editing is disabled when a modeless dialog box is on the

screen. The mouse pointer changes to a circle with a slash through it if

you attempt to drag and drop while the modeless dialog box is open.

(Note: "Modeless" means that while the dialog is on the screen, you can

click in the text area and continue editing.)

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Close the modeless dialog box before performing drag-and-drop editing.

MORE INFORMATION

================

One of the enhancements to Word 6.0 for Windows is that many of the dialog

boxes are modeless. Examples of these dialog boxes are the Edit Find, Edit

Goto, and Spelling dialog boxes.

If a modeless dialog box is on the screen, then drag-and-drop editing is

not allowed. To indicate that the feature is temporarily unavailable, the

mouse pointer arrow changes to a circle with a slash through the middle

when you attempt a drag-and-drop action. As soon as the dialog box is

closed, drag-and-drop editing is available again.

Change Case Does Not Apply Formatting to Merge Results

Article ID: Q118481

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Changing the case of MERGEFIELD fields using SHIFT+F3 or Change Case from

the Format menu does not format the results of your merge fields with the

selected case change.

CAUSE

=====

Changing the case changes the ASCII value of the characters; it does not

apply direct formatting to the characters.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

To apply case changes to merge field results, you can use one of the

following methods:

Method 1: Select the MERGEFIELD field (including the chevrons or field

          braces) and press CTRL+SHIFT+A for All Caps formatting. Or, from

          the Format menu, choose Font. Under Effects, select the All Caps

          check box, and choose the OK button.

Method 2: Display Field Codes by pressing ALT+F9. Select the first

          character of the merge field and format this character as noted

          in Method 1 above. Add the \* CHARFORMAT switch to the end of the

          MERGEFIELD field. This switch applies the formatting of the field

          type's first character to the entire result. Your field code

          should look like the following:

             {Mergefield name \* charformat}

Method 3: Display Field Codes by pressing ALT+F9. Add one of the following

          format switches to the end of the MERGEFIELD field.

             Switch        Description

             ------        -----------

             \* upper      To format the entire field as all caps

             \* lower      To format the entire field in lowercase

             \* firstcap   To capitalize the first word in the result

             \* caps       To capitalize each word in the result

          To format the MERGEFIELD result in all caps, your field code

          should look like:

             {mergefield name \* upper}

English Spelling Dictionary Contains US and UK Spellings

Article ID: Q118507

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The English Language Dictionary supplied with Word 6.0 contains both the

U.S. English and British English dictionaries. In other words, you can

check both English (U.S.) and English (U.K.) spelling using the same

dictionary.

To check the U.S. or British English spelling of a word, you must format

that word for the appropriate language. (To apply language formatting,

choose Language from the Tools menu.) When you run the spelling checker, it

checks the (U.K.) English or (U.S.) English spelling, based on the language

formatting.

For example, if your document contains the word "colour," Word flags it as

misspelled if it is formatted as (U.S.) English, but Word considers it to

be spelled correctly if it is formatted as (U.K.) English.

How to Bypass "Tip of the Day" When Starting Word 6.0

Article ID: Q118513

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes various methods to deactivate the "Tip of the Day."

When the "Tip of the Day" is active, it will appear when:

 - You start Word from File Manager, Program Manager, or the MS-DOS prompt.

   -or-

 - You restore or maximize Word for Windows using DDE from another

   application.

MORE INFORMATION

================

If you start Word from File Manager, Program Manager, or the MS-DOS prompt

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Method 1: When the "Tip of the Day" dialog box displays after you start

          Word, clear the Show Tips At Startup check box. The next time you

          start Word, the "Tip of the Day" will not display.

Method 2: From the Word Help menu, choose "Tip of the Day" and clear the

          Show Tips At Startup check box. The next time you start Word, the

          "Tip of the Day" will not display.

Method 3: Add the /W switch to the command line properties of the Word icon

          in Program Manager. Your command line should look like the

          following example (where C:\WINWORD is your Word program

          directory):

             c:\winword\winword.exe /w

          Be sure to change the path to reflect the correct drive and

          directory for WINWORD.EXE.

Method 4: You can execute Word from the MS-DOS prompt, by using the

          following command:

             win c:\winword\winword.exe /w

          Be sure to change the path to reflect the correct drive and

          directory for WINWORD.EXE.

          NOTE: The /W switch will not permanently turn off the setting for

          the "Tip of the Day". The next time Word is started without the

          /W switch, the "Tip of the Day" will display unless the Show Tips

          At Startup check box has been cleared.

If you restore or maximize Word using DDE from another application

------------------------------------------------------------------

Method 1: If the "Tip of the Day" is activated when starting Word using

          DDE, it can interfere with subsequent DDE processes. To execute

          Word from Microsoft Excel, for example, you can use the following

          DDE command, which includes the /w switch:

             =EXEC("c:\winword\winword.exe /w")

Method 2: When using DDE to execute Word, you can clear the check box to

          Show Tips At Startup prior to executing any DDE commands.

Method 3: Add the /W switch to the Word command line icon properties prior

          to executing Word using DDE.

Method 4: Execute Word in a minimized state.

Zero Appears in Row/Column Headings with Table Wizard

Article ID: Q118514

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A 0 (zero) appears in the column or row headings after the Table Wizard

builds your table.

CAUSE

=====

You specified a letter instead of a number for the option "Numbers, from"

in the "What Type of Column Headings Do You Want?" and "What Type of Row

Headings Do You Want?" dialog boxes when running the Table Wizard. (To

locate these dialog boxes, create a new file based on the Table Wizard,

choose Style 1, and choose the Next button.)

RESOLUTION

==========

Rerun the Table Wizard, and specify a valid number for "Numbers, from" in

the "What Type of Column Headings Do You Want?" and "What Type of Row

Headings Do You Want?" dialog boxes. The number can be negative, 0, or

positive.

Line Count Is Incorrect by One Line

Article ID: Q118515

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The line count that appears in the Summary Information Statistics dialog

box appears incorrect by one line. (To locate this feature, choose Summary

Info from the File menu and choose the Statistics button.)

If the document contains no text, the line count will appear as 0 (zero)

lines. If your document contains text but no text is entered in the last

paragraph, this line will not be included in the line count.

CAUSE

=====

By design, Word documents contain a single paragraph. This paragraph is not

included in the line count.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Word will count this paragraph if at least one character, such as

          a space is typed on this line.

Method 2: Move the last paragraph mark to the end of the last line of text

          by deleting any extra paragraph marks between the end of your

          text and the last paragraph in your document. Click the Show/Hide

          button on the Standard toolbar to display paragraph marks.

Framed Border Displays Incorrectly in Print Preview

Article ID: Q118517

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you select a framed, bordered table in print preview or page layout

view, the table may display with a broken or dashed vertical border on the

left and/or right side.

Thinner (3/4 pt to 1-1/2 pt) borders around the table will more likely have

a dashed vertical border when zooming to 55 percent or less. With thicker

borders, the borders may display correctly until the zoom level reaches

about 40 percent. Although the border displays incorrectly in print preview

or page layout view at the lower zoom levels, the table prints correctly.

CAUSE

=====

When a frame is selected, it is identified with vertical slashes. Depending

on the zoom view, the slashes may appear to interrupt the border, causing

the border to appear dashed.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Increase the zoom level until the table displays without the dashed border.

Automatic Word Selection Won't Allow Drag/Drop Between Quotes

Article ID: Q118520

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You cannot drag and drop selected text between a pair of quotation marks

when there is no space between the pair of quotation marks.

CAUSE

=====

You have the Automatic Word Selection turned on. By design, when Automatic

Word Selection is turned on, any string of characters not separated by a

space is treated as a "word."

RESOLUTIONS

===========

Method 1: Add a space between the quotation marks.

Method 2: Turn off Automatic Word Selection. (To change this option, from

          the Tools menu, select Options. Select the Edit tab, and clear

          the Automatic Word Selection check box.)

SUM Formula Does Not Update Correctly

Article ID: Q118521

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The SUM formula field may update incorrectly if text exists in a cell of a

row or column when using one of the following predefined formula fields:

   =SUM(LEFT)

   =SUM(RIGHT)

   =SUM(BELOW)

   =SUM(ABOVE)

In the following table, the first and second rows will update correctly. If

the text is in a cell immediately adjacent to the formula, the calculation

will update correctly.

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   |      1      |      2      |      3      | =SUM(LEFT)  |

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   |      1      |      2      |    TEXT     | =SUM(LEFT)  |

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   |      1      |    TEXT     |      3      | =SUM(LEFT)  |

   ---------------------------------------------------------

The third row will produce an incorrect result as shown in the table below.

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   |      1      |      2      |      3      |      6      |

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   |      1      |      2      |     TEXT    |      3      |

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   |      1      |    TEXT     |      3      |      3      |

   ---------------------------------------------------------

CAUSE

=====

By design, when the SUM function, using one of the predefined arguments

(LEFT, RIGHT, ABOVE, or BELOW), is interrupted by a text-filled cell in the

table, it performs the calculation up to that point. When the text-filled

cell is immediately adjacent to the formula, the SUM function begins

looking at the figures on the other side of the text.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Specify a range of cells in your formula. For example:

             {=sum(a1:a3)}

Method 2: Specify a series of cells in your formula. For example:

             {=sum(a1,a2,a3)}

Spelling Checker Does Not Select Some Misspelled Words

Article ID: Q118525

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The spelling checker may not highlight words it flags as misspelled when

the word is in front of a colored drawing object. If part of a word is in

front of a colored drawing object and part of it is not, Word may highlight

only that portion of the word that is not in front of the colored drawing

object.

CAUSE

=====

If your Highlight Color setting specifies anything other than Black and

White, Word does not highlight misspelled words when they occur in front of

a colored drawing or picture.

Word correctly highlights the misspelled word if your Highlight Color

setting specifies Black and White or if the Black Background, White Text

option is selected in the Tools Options dialog box under the General tab.

Note: This does not occur in Word 6.0 for Windows.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Switch to normal view before you run the spelling checker in a

          document that contains colored drawing objects.

Method 2: Change your Highlight Color setting to Black and White. When a

          misspelled word occurs in front of a colored drawing object, Word

          displays the misspelled word in white. (To change the Highlight

          Color, switch to the Macintosh Control Panels and choose the

          Colors icon.)

Cannot Sort Single-Column Framed Table

Article ID: Q118632

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word for the Macintosh does not sort items in a single-column, framed table

if only the frame is selected. By contrast, Word correctly sorts the items

in a framed table that contains two or more columns.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Click inside one of the table cells or select the table instead

          of the frame, then perform the sort.

Method 2: Perform the sort before you frame the table.

Method 3: Convert the table to text, perform the sort on the paragraphs,

          and convert the text back to a table.

"Snap To Grid" Affects Frames in Text Layer

Article ID: Q118635

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you insert a frame in the text layer, the frame snaps horizontally or

vertically if the Snap To Grid feature is enabled for the drawing layer.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Turn off the Snap To Grid option. To do this, click the Drawing button on

the Standard toolbar. Click the Snap To Grid button on the Drawing toolbar.

Clear the Snap To Grid check box, and then choose the OK button.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Snap To Grid is a network of invisible lines that helps you align

drawing objects on the drawing layer. If the Snap To Grid option is

turned on for the drawing layer, frames inserted on the text layer will

also be affected.

Using the ADVANCE Field in Word

Article ID: Q118637

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The ADVANCE field may cause "advanced text" to (1) appear lowered rather

than raised, or (2) disappear from view.

For the following examples, assume an ADVANCE field can be found after

"Have" in the sentence "Have a nice day." For example,

   line 5

   line 6          Have {ADVANCE \u 72} a nice day.

In the example above, the ADVANCE field would advance "a nice day." one

inch or 72 points up the page from the text "Have." For example,

                         a nice day.

   line 6          Have

CAUSE

=====

LOWERED: If the line spacing is set to Single, the upward motion of the

advanced text actually increases the line's overall spacing. Therefore, the

text before the ADVANCE field appears to have been lowered, and the text

after the ADVANCE field appears to have remained where it was originally

positioned. For example, see "Have a nice day." on line 6. The text "Have"

appears to have been lowered when actually the line spacing has increased

and the text adjusts to consume its full height. Hence, "Have" is sitting

on the bottom of the line space and "a nice day" has risen to the top of

the line space.

                         a nice day.

   line 6          Have

DISAPPEARS: If line spacing is set to Exactly, the advanced text is

positioned beyond the given amount of line spacing and will disappear from

view. It will not display correctly in print preview, page layout view, but

it will print correctly. For example:

                                       <the text "a nice day" does not

   line 2                              display as the ADVANCE field

   line 3                              pushes it up to line 1 It

   line 4                              disappears from view as it goes

   line 5                              beyond line 6's line space;

   line 6          Have                however, it will print.>

STATUS

======

This behavior is by design. ADVANCE fields allow for better conversion of

WordPerfect documents. They are not necessarily the best method to position

text in Word.

RESOLUTION

==========

Method 1: Format lines that include an ADVANCE field with Exactly line

          spacing. (To do this, choose Paragraph from the Format menu,

          choose the Indents And Spacing tab. In the Line Spacing box

          choose Exactly, use the default point size shown and choose the

          OK button.)

          Again, the text may disappear from view as the advanced text

          moves beyond a line's given amount of line spacing, but it will

          print. The line following the Advance field may appear clipped on

          the display but will print fine as long as its final position is

          within the margins.

Method 2: Frame text and position the frame on the page, rather than using

          an ADVANCE field.

MORE INFORMATION

================

ADVANCE switches (\D, \U, \L, and \R) are relative pen movements WITHIN a

line of text. For example, {ADVANCE \U 72} in the middle of a line will

position text after the ADVANCE field 1 inch above the text, left of the

ADVANCE field. The effect is similar to formatting all the characters after

the ADVANCE field as "raised by 72 pt."

To raise or lower text in Word:

1. From the Format menu, choose Font.

2. Select the Character Spacing tab.

3. In the Position box, select Raised or Lowered.

4. In the By box, specify in points the amount you want to raise or lower

   text, and choose the OK button.

With use of its new ADVANCE field format, Word 6.0 now successfully

converts the majority of the cases where Advance codes are used in

WordPerfect documents. WordPerfect up, down, to-line, left, and right

Advance formats and horizontal/vertical combinations thereof are mapped to

equivalent Word 6.0 ADVANCE \U, \D, \L, \R, \X, and \Y formats, and vice

versa.

Word 6.0 for Windows is the first version of Word to support Advance

formatting of WordPerfect 5.1 for MS-DOS and versions 5.1 and 5.2 for

Windows. Advance formatting is not a feature of earlier versions of Word

where Advance codes are ignored during conversion..

Customizing Word 6.0 Wizard Defaults

Article ID: Q118639

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how you can run the Word 6.0 wizards using default

settings that you define.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Default information for the Word 6.0 wizards is stored in the WORDWIZ.INI

file, located in the Windows program directory. Each time you run one of

the Wizards, the information that you enter, as well as certain default

settings, are stored in this file. Each subsequent time you use a wizard,

the wizard reads this information and uses it by default. If an appropriate

entry from the WORDWIZ.INI cannot be found, then the wizard relies on what

has been written into the wizard's code as its default.

You can set the WORDWIZ.INI file attribute to Read-Only so that your

wizards run with your default information instead of the wizard's standard

defaults or the last information you entered in the wizard. To change the

status of the WORDWIZ.INI file attribute to Read-Only, choose the File

Manager icon in the Main group in the Windows Program Manager. Highlight

the WORDWIZ.INI file in the Windows directory. From the File menu, choose

Properties and select the Read-Only check box. Choose the OK button.

Before you set the WORDWIZ.INI file attribute to Read-Only, use one of the

following methods to create your default settings:

Method 1: a. Start the wizard by choosing New from the File menu. In the

             New dialog box, select the desired Wizard and choose the OK

             button.

          b. As the Wizard prompts you for information, answer the prompts

             with the information you want to use as your defaults. Choose

             the Finish button when you have completed all the prompts.

             You do not need to save this document.

Method 2: a. Start the wizard by choosing New from the File menu. In the

             New dialog box, select the desired Wizard and choose the OK

             button.

          b. As the Wizard prompts you for information, answer the prompts

             with the information you want to use as your defaults. Choose

             the Finish button when you have completed all the prompts.

             You do not need to save your document.

          c. Open the WORDWIZ.INI file in Notepad. (Notepad can be found

             in the Accessories group of the Windows Program Manager.)

             Manually modify the lines where you want to specify default

             text. See the example below:

                [Award Wizard]

                CertificateStyle=1

                AwardOrientation=2

                BorderStyle=2

                Recipient= Text you want

                AwardTitle=Text you want

                SigCount=0

                PresenterStyle=2

                PresentedBy1= Text you want

                PresentedByLines=1

                CertificateDate= Text you want

                ExtraText1=~

                ExtraTextLines= 1

                ExitOption= 2

          d. Save and close the WORDWIZ.INI file after making your

             changes.

Customized User Options Location Is Ignored

Article ID: Q118776

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word ignores the file location you specify for User Options. (To locate

this item, from the Tools menu, choose Options, then choose the File

Locations tab.)

In addition, you cannot modify the file location by running the

ToolsAdvancedSettings command to override the Word Settings (6) file

location. (To locate this command, choose Macro from the Tools menu. From

the Macros Available In list, select Word Commands. ToolsAdvancedSettings

will appear in the Macro Names list.)

CAUSE

=====

The User Options setting corresponds to the location of the Word Settings

(6) file. This file is located in the Preferences folder in the System

folder. Even though Word will allow you to modify this setting, Word will

look only in the Preferences folder for the Word Settings (6) file.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Ensure that the User Options setting is set to the Preferences Folder in

the System Folder. Any other setting will be ignored.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The COMMAND+SHIFT+UP ARROW and COMMAND+SHIFT+DOWN ARROW shortcut

combinations do not select the entire paragraph if your insertion point is

not at the end or beginning of the paragraph. This functionality differs

from earlier versions of Word, where the entire paragraph would be selected

regardless of where the insertion point was in the paragraph.

CAUSE

=====

By design, these shortcut combinations are used to extend the selection up

or down beginning from the insertion point.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use one of the following methods to select your paragraph:

Method 1: Move your insertion point to the beginning of the paragraph and

          press COMMAND+SHIFT+DOWN ARROW or move your insertion point to

          the end of the paragraph and press COMMAND+SHIFT+UP ARROW.

Method 2: Click three times in succession within a paragraph.

Method 3: Click two times in the left margin next to the paragraph you want

          to select.

Method 4: Create a macro and assign it to a shortcut combination or add it

          to the toolbar. For example:

             Sub Main

             Editgoto "\para"

             End Sub

Word for the Mac Doesn't Supports Selected SendKeys Keystrokes

Article ID: Q118832

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Word 6.0 for the Macintosh WordBasic macro language fails to send

certain non-character keystrokes when using the SendKeys command.

CAUSE

=====

Due to a system limitation, the full set of keystrokes are not supported on

the Macintosh.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following table lists non-character keys that are not available on the

Macintosh when using SendKeys:

   KEY                     SENDKEYS PARAMETER

   ---                     -------------------

   BACKSPACE               {backspace} or {bs} or {bksp}

   BREAK                   {break}

   CAPS LOCK               {capslock}

   CLEAR                   {clear}

   DEL                     {delete} or {del}

   DOWN ARROW              {down}

   END                     {end}

   HELP                    {help}

   HOME                    {home}

   INS                     {insert}

   LEFT ARROW              {left}

   NUM LOCK                {numlock}

   PAGE DOWN               {pgdn}

   PAGE UP                 {pgup

   PRINT SCREEN            {prtsc}

   RIGHT ARROW             {right}

   UP ARROW                {up}

   F1, F2, F3,...F16       {F1}, {F2}, {F3},...{F16}

The SendKeys command sends the keystrokes specified by the user to the next

WordBasic command, just as if the characters were typed at the keyboard.

SendKeys must precede instructions that activate the command that receives

the keystrokes. On a Macintosh, a SendKeys instruction can send no more

than 10 keystrokes and can send them only to Word. SendKeys cannot be used

with another application.

The following macro example types a filename, "TESTFILE", to the File Save

As dialog box:

   Sub MAIN

   SendKeys "TESTFILE"

   Dim dlg As FileSaveAs

   x = Dialog(dlg)

   End Sub

Note: When stepping through a macro (using the Step or Step Subs button)

that contains a SendKeys instruction, make sure SendKeys and the

instruction following are on the same line, separated by a colon.

Smart Cut/Paste of Field Code Doesn't Insert Space

Article ID: Q118833

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you cut or copy and then paste a field code immediately before or after

text, Word will not insert an extra space, even when Smart Cut And Paste is

activated.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh and Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows. We are researching

this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge

Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

GetProfileString() Returns Invalid Path

Article ID: Q118834

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Using the GetProfileString$() function to return a path setting in the Word

Settings (6) file results in a path that contains "garbage" (corrupt)

characters or symbols. For example, the following macro, which retrieves

the path setting for the Templates directory, returns garbage text:

   Sub MAIN

   a$=GetProfileString$("Microsoft Word", "USER-DOT-PATH")

   MsgBox a$

   End Sub

Note that the GetProfileString$() function does not require a filename or

path argument for the Word Settings (6) file after "USER-DOT-PATH".

WordBasic defaults to the Word Settings (6) file in the Preferences folder.

CAUSE

=====

When retrieving predefined file path settings in the Microsoft Word section

of the Word Settings (6) file, Word makes a second call to the settings

file, and the incorrect information is returned. The problem, which occurs

when reading the Word Settings (6) file when using the GetProfileString$()

function, is a known problem.

RESOLUTION

==========

To avoid returning unusable information, use the GetPrivateProfileString$()

function. The GetPrivateProfileString$() function returns a setting in a

settings file that you specify. For example:

   Sub MAIN

   a$=GetPrivateProfileString$("Microsoft Word", "USER-DOT-PATH", "Word

   Settings (6)")

   MsgBox a$

   End Sub

Note that the GetPrivateProfileString$() function requires that the

settings file name be specified. In this case it is "Word Settings (6)."

When retrieving values from the Word Settings (6) file with the

GetPrivateProfileString$() function, do not specify a path for the Word

Settings (6) parameter because this path defaults to the Preferences folder

in the System folder.

WARNING:  ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR

OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of

any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the

implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular

purpose.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Predefined file path settings in the Microsoft Word section of the Word

Settings (6) file are those that are set in the File Locations tab. (To

locate this option, choose Options from the Tools menu.) Settings other

than "User Options" can only be returned by macro functions if they are

first set in the File Locations tab.

Invalid Field Name Can Be Added to Word Data Source

Article ID: Q118836

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you choose the Manage Fields button on the Database toolbar when you

set up a mail merge data file, Word allows you to enter invalid field

names. These invalid field names are converted to valid field names.

Conversely, Word does not allow you to add invalid field names when you use

the Create Data Source dialog box.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh and Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows. We are researching

this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge

Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The invalid field names you enter in the Manage Fields dialog box are

converted into valid field names by Word. For example:

 - Field names that are created using a symbol or series of symbols, such

   as the pound sign (#), the dollar sign ($), or the percent sign (%) are

   replaced with a field name such as AutoMergeField, AutoMergeField1,

   AutoMergeField2, and so forth.

 - If a symbol is used in combination with a valid field name (for example,

   $ Amt), Word replaces the symbol with the letter M and the space with

   the underscore character (for example, $ Amt becomes M_Amt).

 - If a number is used in the field name--for example, 1234--Word adds the

   letter M and an underscore as a prefix to the field name (M_1234).

 - Word truncates any field longer than 40 characters.

 - If the invalid field contains spaces, Word replaces the spaces with the

   underscore character.

Since the invalid field names are either truncated or converted to

acceptable field names, they do not cause errors during a mail merge.

Note: There are two ways to activate the Database toolbar: 1) while editing

the data source using the Edit Data Source button from the mail merge main

document, select the View Source button in the Data Form dialog box, and 2)

choose Toolbars from the View Menu and select Database in the Toolbars

list.)

COMMAND+OPTION+V Doesn't Copy Character/Paragraph Format

Article ID: Q118837

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The COMMAND+OPTION+V shortcut combination changed functionality from

earlier versions of Word. In versions earlier than 6.0, this shortcut

combination was used to copy character or paragraph formats of a selection

to subsequently selected text.

In Word 6.0, COMMAND+OPTION+V is used to insert an AutoText entry (formerly

called Glossary entries). In Word 4.0 and 5.x, you could use the COMMAND+K

shortcut to open the Glossary dialog box and select your Glossary entry.

To use the COMMAND+OPTION+V, first type the AutoText name in your document,

then press the COMMAND+OPTION+V to expand the AutoText entry.

Microsoft Word 6.0 provides an Agenda Wizard for the creation of an Agenda

and Minutes form. The wizard does not prompt you to modify character

formatting such as font, point size, and so forth. This article describes

how you can use the Agenda Wizard to create your own custom wizard.

NOTE: Microsoft does not support the modification of its wizards or

templates. Modifications done by the user are at the user's risk and

constitute no obligations or warranties, either written or expressed, by

Microsoft.

Article ID: Q118843

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A Micrografx Draw 3.0 OLE object does not update in Word 6.0 when you are

using the Hewlett-Packard (HP) HP4/4M or HP4P/4MP printer driver. This

behavior occurs when Word updates a pasted object, or after you choose

Object from the Insert menu, and when you are using the HP printer driver

versions 31.V1.27 and 31.V1.18.

These objects do update correctly with the HP4Si and HP4SiMX PostScript

printer using the Microsoft PostScript printer driver version 3.58.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Select a different printer as your default printer while you are inserting

or editing the Micrografx Draw object. After updating the object, reselect

your HP4 printer.

Ampersand in Filename Not Included When Filename Added to Menu

Article ID: Q118844

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you add a filename that contains an ampersand to a menu in Word 6.0,

the ampersand does not appear. For example, a file named "Jack&Jill" will

appear as "JackJill" on the menu.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To display a filename that contains an ampersand, save the file with a

second ampersand in front of the first. For example:

   Jack&&Jill

When you add this filename to a menu, the name appears correctly, as:

   Jack&Jill

AutoCorrect Doesn't Replace with Mixed Case

Article ID: Q118845

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

AutoCorrect does not correct your text automatically when you press the

SPACEBAR. This behavior can occur when:

 - You created the Replace text in AutoCorrect using mixed case (for

   example, AbCdEf) and in your document you type all lowercase (abcdef),

   all uppercase (ABCDEF), or a combination of mixed case letters that does

   not exactly match the case of the AutoCorrect text (abcDef).

   -or-

 - You created the Replace text in AutoCorrect using all uppercase (for

   example, ABCDEF) and in your document you type text that is not all

   uppercase (abcdef or Abcdef).

CAUSE

=====

By design in Word 6.0, when you create an AutoCorrect entry using mixed

case or all uppercase, AutoCorrect recognizes the entry only when you type

the mixed case or uppercase text exactly as it is entered in AutoCorrect.

When you create an AutoCorrect entry with all lowercase text, AutoCorrect

corrects the entry automatically when you press the SPACEBAR, if that text

is typed in all lowercase, all uppercase, or with the first letter

capitalized.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Create all your AutoCorrect entries as lowercase. This will give

          you three ways (lowercase, uppercase, initial capped) to enter

          the text that AutoCorrect will recognize and automatically

          correct.

Method 2: If the entry contains mixed case, type the word in the correct

          case as displayed in the AutoCorrect dialog box.

Space Added Before Number After Pasting to Text

Article ID: Q118900

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you paste a numbered list as unformatted text (using the Paste Special

command on the Edit menu), a space appears before numbers greater than 1,

but the space does not appear before the first item, as in the following

example:

1. Apples

 2. Oranges

 3. Bananas

 4. Grapes

CAUSE

=====

This behavior occurs when Smart Cut And Paste is turned on, when "Alignment

of List Text" is set to Right, and you apply numbering to the text using

Word's Bullets And Numbering feature.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Turn off the Use Smart Cut And Paste option before pasting the

          numbered list. To locate this option, choose Options from the

          Tools menu, and select the Edit tab.

Method 2: If Smart Cut And Paste is turned on, paste the numbered list as

          Formatted text. To do this:

          a. Select the list.

          b. From the Edit menu, choose Copy.

          c. Position the insertion point where you want to paste the

             list.

          d. Choose Paste Special from the Edit menu.

          e. Select Formatted Text (RTF) and choose the OK button.

AutoCorrect Entries Are Stored in the Normal Template

Article ID: Q118901

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

By design AutoCorrect entries are stored in the Normal template. In this

way, you have access to AutoCorrect entries whenever you create a document

based on a template other than Normal.

AutoCorrect is a new feature of Word 6.0 that allows Word to quickly insert

text or graphics automatically as you type. For example, you can store

abbreviations for words or phrases, frequently used graphics, special

characters, or text with unusual formatting. In addition you can use this

feature to correct misspelled words and punctuation errors automatically.

CountFoundFiles() Returns 0 If Over 100 Files Counted

Article ID: Q118902

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use the WordBasic FindFile command for a search that returns many

files, the CountFoundFiles() function may return 0 even though there are a

large number of matching files.

CAUSE

=====

The CountFoundFiles() function creates a temporary file that contains a

list of the files found. By design, the size of this file is limited to 100

files. If there is not enough space on your hard drive for the temp file,

the CountFoundFiles() function returns 0, even though there may actually

be, for example, 200 matching files.

Note: This temporary file is left on the hard drive until the next FileFind

search. You can reduce the size of this file by performing a new FindFile

search with a more limited search criteria.

RESOLUTION

==========

Narrow your search criteria to reduce the number of files found.

Cannot Select or Copy from Find File Preview Window

Article ID: Q118903

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, you cannot select or copy text from the

Preview window of the Find File command. (To locate the Preview window,

choose Find File from the File menu.) This behavior is a change from Word,

versions 5.0 and 5.1, which allowed you to select and copy text in the Find

File View window.

CAUSE

=====

The Preview window in Word for the Macintosh is a Rich Text Edit (RTE)

control. RTE controls can support full editing or no editing, but not

partial editing. By design, this Preview window does not support editing.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Find File Preview Of window displays the contents of selected documents

in the Listed Files box. To preview a file that meets the current search

criteria, click the desired file in the Listed Files list and select

Preview as the option in the View list. The contents of the file will be

displayed in the Preview Of box on the right. If the selected file is not

in Word format, Word 6.0 converts the file and displays it, provided the

appropriate converter is installed.

Using the FileFind WordBasic Statement

Article ID: Q118904

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The FileFind statement creates a list based on search criteria specified by

one or more of the statement's arguments. The arguments correspond to

options in the Search dialog box.

You can search for certain types of files by using the MacID$() function

with the FileFind statement. The MacID$() function returns an application

signature or file type in a format that other commands, including the

FileFind command, can understand.

The Macintosh does not accept MS-DOS wildcard specifiers such as the

asterisk (*) or the question mark (?) when searching for groups of files.

Instead, you can use the MacID$() function to convert an application file

type to a value that can be used with instructions like FileFind, Files$(),

FileOpen, or Kill, all of which require a file type.

MORE INFORMATION

================

A Macintosh file type is a unique four-letter label assigned to every file

format created by a Macintosh application. For example, M6BN file type is

used for files created by Microsoft Word 6.0, and TEXT is the file type for

text files. This label can be seen if you use the ResEdit program to get

information about a file.

In addition, the MacID$() function can return an application signature,

which is a four-character sequence that uniquely identifies an application.

For example, MSWD is the application signature for Word.

Note that the application signature and file type are case sensitive.

The following sample macro creates a dialog record (an on-screen display of

a dialog box) for the FileFind dialog box, sets the search path and file

type criteria, specifies that summary information for found files be

displayed, and displays the list of found files:

Sub MAIN

Dim dlg As FileFind

dlg .SearchPath = "Macintosh HD:My Documents"

dlg .Name = MacID$("W6BN")

dlg .View = 2

x = Dialog(dlg)

End Sub

Removing Numbering Does Not Resart Next Item at 1

Article ID: Q118905

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

After you remove the numbering from an item in the middle of a numbered

list (using the Numbering button on the Formatting Toolbar), the list item

maintains its indent, and the numbered item that follows does not restart

at 1.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior is by design. When you choose the Numbering button on the

Formatting Toolbar, the paragraph is reformatted with Skip Numbering, which

does not interrupt the list numbering and which maintains the item's

indentation.

RESOLUTION

==========

Format the item with Stop Numbering, rather than Skip Numbering. To do

this:

1. Select the item where you want the numbering to stop (even if you

   already formatted it with Skip Numbering).

2. Click the right mouse button to display the shortcut menu.

3. Choose Stop Numbering.

You can access this shortcut menu while you are typing your list to either

Skip Numbering or Stop Numbering.

Note: If you have not yet removed the number from the list item, you can

use the Bullets And Numbering command from the Format menu and choose the

Remove button to stop numbering your list. Using this method removes the

indent at the same time it removes the numbering.

For more information about the Stop Numbering and Skip Numbering commands,

please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

ToolsAdvancedSettings Displays Duplicate Settings

Article ID: Q118907

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The ToolsAdvancedSettings command displays duplicate lines from .INI files

even though there are no duplicate entries in the actual file.

For example, if an .INI file contains two entries in the same section such

as

   [SectionName]

   Option=Item1

   Option=Item2

the entries will be displayed as:

   [SectionName]

   Option=Item1

   Option=Item1

CAUSE

=====

ToolsAdvancedSettings uses a Windows API function called

GetPrivateProfileString to retrieve the lines from the .INI file. That

function will return only the first entry it finds in the file with any

given option (or "Key") name. Therefore, it will repeatedly find only the

first entry and display that one.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

ToolsAdvancedSettings is a Word command that allows you to view or change

settings in a settings file, such as the WINWORD6.INI or the WIN.INI file.

You can run this command by choosing Macro from the Tools menu. From the

Macros Available In list, choose Word Commands. In the Macro Name list,

select ToolsAdvancedSettings, and choose the Run button.

In the Categories text box, type the section name and the name of the .INI

file in parentheses. For example:

   boot(system.ini)

The settings found in this section of the named .INI file will appear in

the Startup Options list. When you are finished viewing these settings,

choose the OK or Cancel button.

Note: The .INI file must be located in the Windows program directory.

Graphic Pattern Lost When Edited in Word

Article ID: Q118933

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you double-click a picture to edit it in Word's Picture Editor, the

picture's pattern is lost, reverting to a solid fill.

CAUSE

=====

This problem can occur when you edit a picture created in a separate

application, using patterns that Word's Picture Editor does not support.

Word attempts to match the picture's pattern with its own internal listing

of supported patterns. If no match is found, the picture reverts to a solid

fill.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

If your picture loses its pattern by editing it, choose Undo Picture from

the Edit menu.

To make changes to the picture, copy and paste it into the originating

graphic application. When you have edited the graphic, copy and paste it

back into your Word document.

INFO: How to Clear the Undo Stack

Article ID: Q118987

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article contains several methods you can use to clear the Undo list in

Word for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

================

By design, you cannot turn off the Undo or Redo commands, nor can you

change the maximum number of actions Word stores in the Undo or Redo stacks

(up to approximately 100 or the total number of actions in one document).

Note: If you are experiencing out-of-memory or slow-performance problems,

be sure to rule out other Word or system operations as the cause.

Perform any of the following operations in Word to clear the Undo and Redo

lists.

Method 1: From the Tools menu, choose Revisions, select the Mark Revisions

          While Editing option, and then choose OK.

          Note: If you don't actually want to mark revisions in your

          document, return to the Tools Revisions dialog box and clear the

          Mark Revisions While Editing option.

Method 2: From the Tools menu, choose Protect Document, select the Forms

          option, and then choose OK.

          Note: If you don't actually want to protect your document,

          choose Unprotect Document from the Tools menu.

Method 3: In a mail merge main document, choose the View Merged Data

          button.

Method 4: In Word 6.0, open a document you created in Word 2.x for Windows,

          then choose Heading Numbering from the Format menu.

Method 5: To automate the clearing of the Undo and Redo lists, use the

          following macro, which turns on the Mark Revisions While Editing

          option, then turns it off again (see Method 2 above):

   NowMenus installed. NowMenus traps these keystrokes and doesn't relay

   this information to the application. Currently, the only solution is to

   disable NowMenus.

Super Boomerang

---------------

 - Super Boomerang's Re-Launch feature opens documents that you had open

   when you quit an application. Using this feature may cause Word to

   display the message, "Do you want to revert to the saved 'DOC1'?". Super

   Boomerang sends an extra (unnecessary) AppleEvent to open this document,

   causing Word to open a second copy of the file(s). Word alerts you when

   opening the same document twice, because the two versions of the file

   can be different.

WYSIWYG Menus

-------------

 - Now's WYSIWYG Menus utility may show more than one font selected at a

   time (check mark by the font name) on the font menu. To add the Font

   menu, run the AddFontMenu macro, located in the 5.1 Upgrade template in

   the Macro folder.

 - Fonts ending with the word "Chancery" may be truncated if the

   AddFontMenu macro is run with WYSIWYG Menus enabled. To keep this from

   occurring, disable WYSIWYG Menus, restart the Macintosh, start Word, and

   run the AddFontMenu macro.

 - If you access the Font menu from the keyboard (MenuMode), WYSIWYG Menus

   will not show fonts listed in their respective font format on the Font

   menu. For example, the word "Times" will not display on the Font menu in

   the Times font. To activate MenuMode, press COMMAND+TAB. To add the Font

   menu, run the AddFontMenu macro, located in the Macro template.

Word Saves Normal Document Template in Word Program Folder

Article ID: Q119027

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word for the Macintosh may save your Normal Document Template on the

desktop instead of in your Templates folder. This problem occurs if you

move the Word application program to the desktop or to a different folder

from the folder where Word Setup installed it and if you specify no User

Templates setting (to locate this setting, choose Options from the Tools

menu, choose the File Locations tab). When you do this, Word cannot find

your existing Normal Document Template and creates a new one in the folder

where you moved your Word application program.

CAUSE

=====

By design, Word Setup designates a specific location (such as the "HD:Word

6.0 for the Macintosh:Templates" directory) as the User Templates setting,

so Word usually stores your Normal Document Template in that directory, as

expected. If you delete the User Templates setting, however, Word stores a

new Normal Document Template in the folder that contains your Word program

file.

AutoText entries (formerly Glossaries), AutoCorrect entries, macros,

toolbars, keyboard assignments, and styles are stored in the normal

template. These settings can appear to be lost if Word does not locate your

original template.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Method 1: Use the following instructions to add a User Templates setting

          that points to a specific folder:

          a. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

          b. Select the File Locations tab.

          c. Select the User Templates line and then choose the Modify

             button.

          d. Select the folder where you want to store your Normal

             Document Template, then choose the Use Selected Folder

             button.

          e. Choose the Close button to return to Word.

Method 2: Instead of moving your Word program file to the desktop or to

          another folder, create an alias and move that instead. To create

          an alias, select the original Word program file in Finder, then

          choose Make Alias from the File menu.

"File Not Recognized by Graphics Filter" Inserting Picture

Article ID: Q119029

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you insert a picture in a document, the following error message may

occur in Word for the Macintosh:

   The File was not recognized by any installed graphics filter.

CAUSE

=====

This error message is not caused by a missing graphics filter. It happens

if you started Word in a memory partition of 3000 kilobytes (K) or less. In

other words, this is a low-memory problem, not a graphics filter problem.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To insert a picture in your document, use the following steps to start Word

in at least 3000K of memory:

1. Quit Word.

2. In the Finder, select the Microsoft Word application program file.

3. From the File menu, choose Get Info.

4. Under Memory Requirements, change the Preferred Size to 3000K (under

   Macintosh System 7.0, change the Current Size setting under Memory).

5. Close the Get Info Window.

6. Start Word.

"Not Enough Memory" During Paste Special in RTF Format

Article ID: Q119030

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use the Paste Special command on the Edit menu to paste a large

amount of information from the Clipboard in rich text format (RTF), the

following error may occur in Word for the Macintosh:

   There is not enough memory to complete the operation.

CAUSE

=====

Word displays this error message if you quit Word, save the Clipboard

contents, restart Word, and then use the Paste Special command on the Edit

menu to paste the text in Formatted Text (RTF) format. After you quit and

restart Word, the application no longer allocates sufficient memory to load

the Clipboard contents in RTF format.

Note: After you restart Word, this problem does not occur if you select a

file format other than Formatted Text (RTF) in the Paste Special dialog

box. Furthermore, it does not occur if you paste the information into a

document in RTF format BEFORE you quit Word.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Method 1: Paste the contents of the Clipboard in RTF file format before

          you quit Word to avoid the memory-allocation failure.

Method 2: Use the following steps to start Word in at least 4000K of

          memory:

          a. Quit Word and choose Yes when Word prompts you to save the

             Clipboard contents.

          b. In the Finder, select the Microsoft Word application program

             file.

          c. From the File menu, choose Get Info.

          d. Under Memory Requirements, change the Preferred Size to 3000K

             (under Macintosh System 7.0, change the Current Size setting

             under Memory).

          e. Close the Get Info Window.

          f. Start Word.

          g. From the Edit menu, choose Paste Special.

          h. Select Formatted Text (RTF) and then choose OK.

Balloon Help Flashes with Mouse Pointer over Toolbar Buttons

Article ID: Q119031

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for the Macintosh, when Apple System 7 Balloon Help is activated,

the Balloon Help may flash or blink repeatedly until you move the mouse

pointer to another location.

CAUSE

=====

Either of the following can cause this behavior:

1. The mouse pointer is positioned over the Undo or Redo buttons on the

   Formatting toolbar.

2. The mouse pointer is positioned over the bottom portion of one of the

   buttons on a toolbar.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: While the mouse pointer is positioned over the Undo or Redo

          buttons, click and hold with the mouse. After you release the

          mouse button, position the mouse pointer elsewhere on the screen.

Method 2: For other toolbar buttons, move the mouse pointer so it is

          positioned directly over the button instead of over the bottom of

          the button.

Scroll Box Still Moves, Even with Screen Updating Disabled

Article ID: Q119078

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you turn off screen updating in your Word for the Macintosh macro using

the WordBasic ScreenUpdating statement, the scroll box may still move along

the scroll bar. In other words, the ScreenUpdating statement does not

prevent display changes on the scroll bar.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When screen updating is turned off (ScreenUpdating 0), movements of the

scroll box in response to the following WordBasic statements may display on

the screen:

EndOfDocument

Macintosh Balloon Help Doesn't Work in Word 6.0 Dialog Boxes

Article ID: Q119079

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Macintosh Balloon Help feature does not display balloons in any of the

Word 6.0 for the Macintosh dialog boxes when you point at any of the

options in the dialog boxes. (To activate Balloon Help, choose Show

Balloons from the Help menu.)

By contrast, Word 5.x for the Macintosh supports Balloon Help in dialog

boxes.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior represents a change in the design specification for Word 6.0.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Apple introduced Balloon Help in System 7.0. With Balloon Help active, when

you point at an item (either in an application or at the Finder level), a

balloon caption displays that describes the function of the object.

Changing the Calendar Wizard Document Formatting

Article ID: Q119122

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 provides a Calendar Wizard for creating calendars. The wizard does

not prompt you to modify character formatting such as font, point size, and

so forth. This article describes how you can use the Calendar Wizard to

create your own custom wizard.

NOTE: Microsoft does not support the modification of its wizards or

templates. Modifications done by the user are at the user's risk and

constitute no obligations or warranties, either written or expressed, by

Microsoft.

MORE INFORMATION

================

 1. From the File menu, choose Open. Choose the directory where your

    templates are stored--usually, C:\WINWORD\TEMPLATE. From the List Files

    Of Type list, select All Files (*.*). From the File Name list, select

    the Calendar Wizard and choose the OK button. From the File menu,

    choose Save As and type a new name for the wizard. Any formatting

    changes you make will now be stored in your new wizard.

 2. From the View menu, choose Page Layout.

 3. To modify the page orientation, choose Page Setup from the File menu,

    then select the Paper Size tab. Select Portrait or Landscape based on

    one of the following calendar styles:

       Calendar Style                          Portrait       Landscape

       ---------------------------------       --------       ---------

       Boxes and borders with picture          Boxes00        Boxes10

       Boxes and borders without picture       Boxes01        Boxes11

       Banner with picture                     Banner00       Banner10

       Banner without picture                  Banner01       Banner11

       Jazzy with picture                      Jazzy00        Jazzy10

       Jazzy without picture                   Jazzy01        Jazzy11

 4. From the Edit menu, choose AutoText. Choose the AutoText entry that

    corresponds to the calendar style you are creating, then choose the

    Insert button. Note: The names of the AutoText Entries are listed in

    the columns labeled Portrait and Landscape in step 3.

 5. From the View menu, choose Page Layout. Note: Each AutoText entry

    contains both drawing objects and text boxes. These drawing objects are

    visible only in page layout view or print preview. (You will see a

    blank page after you insert the AutoText entry if you are working in

    normal view.)

 6. Toggle the Show/Hide button so that it is enabled, display table

    gridlines (from the Table menu, check Gridlines), and turn on Bookmarks

    (choose Options from the Tools menu, select the View tab, select the

    Bookmarks check box, and choose the OK button).

    NOTE: Do not delete any of the bookmarks. If these are deleted, the

    wizard may not function properly.

 7. Highlight the text or table cell in which you want to make changes (be

    sure the end-of-cell marker or paragraph mark is also selected). Make

    your formatting changes, such as changing the font or point size,

    adding bold or italics, and so forth. When finished, deselect the area

    by clicking in the margin of the document.

 8. From the Edit menu, choose AutoText. Select the AutoText entry that

    you previously selected in step 4. Choose the Delete button to delete

    the old AutoText entry. Choose the Close button to return to the

    document.

 9. Choose the Drawing button on the Standard Toolbar to activate the

    Drawing Toolbar.

10. Choose the Select Drawing Objects button on the Drawing Toolbar.

    Starting in the upper left corner of the template, click and drag down

    and to the right bottom corner to enclose the entire document area. A

    dashed line appears as you are dragging to enclose the objects.

11. From the Edit menu, choose AutoText. In the AutoText dialog box, type

    the AutoText name using the same name as the AutoText entry you deleted

    in step 7. From the "Make AutoText Entry Available To" list, choose

    "Documents Based On the <wizard name>." Choose the Add button to return

    to the document.

12. With the document still selected, choose Cut from the Edit menu. You

    should now have a blank page with a single paragraph mark at the top

    left of the page. If you have any text or more than a single paragraph

    mark, delete these items. Choose Save from the File menu, and then

    close the template.

Now you can use the Calendar Wizard with the style changes you made by

choosing New from the File menu, selecting Calendar Wizard from the

template list, and choosing OK.

Organizer Cannot Copy Default Toolbars

Article ID: Q119126

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You cannot copy customized, default Word Toolbars from one template to

another using the Organizer.

The default Toolbars that Word 6.0 for Windows provides are:

   Standard

   Formatting

   Borders

   Database

   Drawing

   Forms

   Microsoft

   Word for Windows 2.0

CAUSE

=====

By design, the default toolbars that Word provides do not display in the

Organizer. Even though you have customized a default toolbar, Word still

considers this a default toolbar and will not provide a way for copying it

between templates.

WORKAROUND

==========

To copy a customized default toolbar to a different template using the

Organizer, complete the following steps:

1. Open the template that contains the customized default toolbar.

2. From the View menu, choose Toolbars. Choose the New button to create a

   new toolbar. Type in a name for the new toolbar and choose the OK

   button. An empty, floating toolbar will appear on your screen, and the

   Customize dialog box will open.

3. Hold down CTRL+ALT as you click and drag each toolbar button you want to

   copy to the new toolbar. When finished, choose the Close button to

   return to your document.

4. From the File menu, choose Templates, and then choose the Organizer

   button. Select the Toolbars tab.

5. The template you are copying from should be open on one side of this

   dialog box; the template you are copying to should be open on the other

   side. If the template you are copying to is not open, first choose the

   Close button on either the left or right side to close the current

   template. This button will change to Open; choose this button. In the

   File Open dialog box, choose the template directory (usually,

   C:\WINWORD\TEMPLATE) and select Document Templates (*.DOT) in the List

   Files Of Type box. Select the desired template and choose the OK button.

6. Highlight the toolbar in the box under the template you are copying from

   and choose the Copy button. Choose OK to close the Organizer.

7. From the File menu, choose New; select your template that contains your

   new toolbar; and choose the OK button.

8. From the View menu, choose Toolbars. Clear the default toolbar that you

   will be replacing and check the custom toolbar that you want to use.

   Choose the OK button.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In Word 6.0 for Windows, you can customize all toolbars, including the

default toolbars that Word provides. You can add, remove, or rearrange

Toolbar buttons by choosing Customize from the Tools menu.

The Organizer provides a means of copying new or custom toolbars between

templates. These toolbars appear on the Toolbars tab in the Organizer. Word

provides three ways to access the Organizer:

 - From the File menu, choose Templates, then choose the Organizer

   button.

   -or-

 - From the Format menu, choose Style, then choose the Organizer button.

   -or-

 - From the Tools menu, choose Macro, then choose the Organizer button.

Setting Form Fields to a Fixed Length

Article ID: Q119129

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Form field length will expand or contract, depending on the amount of text

you enter into the form fields. This can result in other form fields or

text moving to new positions, affecting the horizontal and vertical

alignment of your form. This behavior can occur even though you have set a

maximum limit for the number of characters to be entered into the field.

CAUSE

=====

Setting the maximum number of characters for a form field does not

establish a permanent dimension for the field. This setting refers only to

the widest the field can be. If there are fewer characters typed than

allowed, the field will be only as wide as the number of characters typed.

For example, if the maximum field size is 30 characters, and you type a

five-letter word in the field, the field will be five-characters wide. If

you type 50 characters in the field, only the first 30 characters will

show.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Using one of the following methods may or may not help you achieve the

desired results; however, any of these methods can be used to give you more

precise control over the position of other fields or text within your form.

Method 1: Place the form fields inside a table. Each cell that contains a

          form field will have a fixed width so the varying text length

          will not move text or other form fields horizontally on the page.

          Setting the table row to an exact height to control the number of

          lines that display in your form result will maintain the vertical

          position of other items on your form.

Method 2: Place the form field in a frame. You can format the frame to have

          an exact height and width. To locate this option, select the

          frame, then choose Frame from the Format menu.

Method 3: Set a tab immediately after the form field. The drawback to this

          method is that if the text inside the form field extends past the

          tab stop, the text or form field following the tab stop will not

          position correctly.

Cannot Set Default Printer to Network Print Queue from Word

Article ID: Q119138

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, choosing the Set As Default Printer button may fail to

set a network print queue as the default Windows printer.

CAUSE

=====

Word cannot set a network print queue as the default Windows printer if the

name of the network print queue contains an open parenthesis character [(].

For example, Word cannot set the following network print queue as the

default Windows printer due to the "(" character:

   LASER(FRONT_OF_OFFICE)

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Switch to Windows Control Panel and choose the Printers icon to

          set the default printer. Word can print to a network print queue

          whose name contains an open parenthesis, even though it cannot

          set that print queue as the default printer.

Method 2: Rename the print queue to a name that does not contain an open

          parenthesis character. For example, change LASER(FRONT_OF_OFFICE)

          to the following:

             LASER_FRONT_OF_OFFICE

Cannot Edit Word 6.0 for Mac Document Object in Place

Article ID: Q119139

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Case 1

------

When you double-click a Word 6.0 for the Macintosh document object that is

embedded in an application that supports OLE 2.0, Word starts and the

document opens in a separate window instead of activating in place as

expected. You cannot edit the Word 6.0 document object in place, even if

you select the document object, choose Object from the Edit menu, and then

choose Edit from the submenu that appears.

In other words, you can use only the OLE Open verb to edit a Word document

object; you cannot use the OLE Edit verb to activate the document for

editing in the container application.

Case 2

------

In Word 6.0, if your document contains an object you embedded from an OLE

1.0 application, such as Microsoft Excel 4.0, you cannot activate the

object in Word. If you select the object, choose Object from the Edit menu

and then choose Edit from the submenu that appears, the application where

you created the file starts and the object opens in a separate window--as

if you had chosen Open from the submenu instead of Edit.

By contrast, if your Word 6.0 document contains an OLE 2.0 embedded object,

you can edit the object in place, as expected.

CAUSE

=====

By design, Word for the Macintosh does not implement the OLE 2.0 Edit verb

for Word document objects. This means you cannot edit a Word document

object in place, as described in Case 1, even when the container

application supports OLE 2.0.

In Case 2, you cannot edit an OLE 1.0 object in place simply because the

server application does not support OLE 2.0 in-place editing functionality

(in-place editing was introduced for the first time in OLE 2.0).

By contrast, the Edit verb in Word 6.0 for Windows is fully functional for

in-place editing of Word document objects (provided, of course, that the

container application supports OLE 2.0).

MORE INFORMATION

================

With Word for Windows, when you edit an embedded Word document object in

place, some of the Word menus and toolbars temporarily replace those of the

container (active) application. You can then edit the object without

leaving the container application. This functionality does not exist with

Word for the Macintosh document objects.

Registration Database vs. Embedding Preferences Functionality

Article ID: Q119211

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 for the Macintosh installs two files--the Registration Database

and Embedding Preferences--that contain information about which

applications support OLE. Both files are installed in the Preferences

folder of your System folder.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Registration Database contains information about OLE 2.0 functionality,

whereas the Embedding Preferences file contains information regarding OLE

1.0 functionality. If either of these files is deleted, the file is re-

created when the OLE application is started.

At this time there is no utility to edit the Registration Database on the

Macintosh platform. However, once the OLE application is started, the

application is re-registered in the Registration Database or the Embedding

Preferences file.

Error Starting Word's "Examples and Demos" in Online Help

Article ID: Q119212

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you select Examples And Demos in Word's online Help, Word displays one

of the following error messages:

   Microsoft Help - Unable to run the specified file.

   -or-

   Word Cannot Start Examples and Demos.

CAUSE

=====

These errors can be caused by one of the following:

 - HyperCard version 2.1 or later is not installed on the Macintosh.

 - You performed a Typical Install, which does not install Examples And

   Demos.

 - Those files necessary to run Examples And Demos have been deleted.

   (These files are installed in the Tutorial folder located in the Word

   folder.)

RESOLUTIONS

===========

Method 1: (Problem: HyperCard version 2.1 or later is not installed

          on the Macintosh.)

          Copy HyperCard to the hard drive from the HyperCard disk that

          ships with Apple's System disks or CD-ROM.

          Note: HyperCard needs 1500K of memory available when used by

          Word.

Method 2: (Problem: A Typical installation was used to install Word.)

          Use the steps to reinstall (under "Examples and Demos Files Have

          Been Deleted" below) to install Examples And Demos.

Method 3: (Problem: Examples And Demos files have been deleted.)

          Use Setup's Maintenance mode to remove Examples And Demos (even

How to Change the Fax Wizard (FAX.WIZ) Document Formatting

Article ID: Q119214

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Fax Wizard (FAX.WIZ) supplied with Word for Windows does not provide

character formatting options (for example, you cannot change the font or

point size).

WORKAROUND

==========

Use the method below to modify the Fax Wizard character formatting.

NOTE: Microsoft does not support the modification of its wizards or

templates. Modifications done by the user are at the user's risk and

constitute no obligations or warranties, either written or expressed, by

Microsoft.

 1. Before you modify your Fax Wizard, make a backup copy of the FAX.WIZ

    file. If something goes wrong while you modify your Fax Wizard, you can

    restore the backup copy.

 2. Open the FAX.WIZ file, which is located in the TEMPLATE subdirectory.

 3. From the Edit menu, choose AutoText. From the Name list, select the

    AutoText entry that you want to modify (see the following table for the

    list of AutoText entries), and then choose the Insert button.

                             AutoText Name

                        ------------------------

       Fax Style        Portrait       Landscape

       ------------     ----------     ---------

       Contemporary     FaxStyle00     FaxStyle01

       Modern           FaxStyle10     FaxStyle11

       Jazzy            FaxStyle20     FaxStyle21

 4. Make sure the Show/Hide button is turned on so all the nonprinting

    characters display in Word.

 5. Open the Table menu. If there is no check mark next to the Gridlines

    command, choose Gridlines. If there is already a check mark next to the

    Gridlines command, close the Table menu without choosing any command.

 6. From the Tools menu, choose Options and then select the View tab.

 7. Select the Bookmarks option so an X appears in its check box and then

    choose OK.

    IMPORTANT: With the Bookmarks option selected, Word encloses bookmarked

    text in nonprinting square brackets ([]). Throughout this procedure,

    make sure you do not delete any of the bookmarks, or the Fax Wizard may

    not function correctly.

 8. Modify the character formatting of the AutoText entry. If you modify a

    table cell, make sure you select the end-of-cell marker to ensure that

    your changes take effect. Elsewhere, make sure you include the

    paragraph marks in each selection you modify.

 9. Select the entire AutoText entry.

10. From the Edit menu, choose AutoText. Select the name of the AutoText

    entry (the same as the name you selected in step 3 above).

11. In the Make AutoText Entry Available To box, select Documents Based On

    Fax.wiz.

11. Choose the Add button. Choose Yes when Word asks if you want to

    redefine the AutoText entry.

12. With the AutoText entry still selected, press DELETE. The FAX.WIZ

    should contain no text.

13. Save and close the wizard.

Next time you use the Fax Wizard to create a fax cover sheet, the wizard

will use your modified AutoText entries.

"Cannot Save or Create File" If Path More Than 255 Characters

Article ID: Q119287

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following error message may occur when you save a document in Word for

the Macintosh:

   Word cannot save or create this file. Make sure the disk is not write

   protected (<filename>).

CAUSE

=====

 - The disk is actually write protected.

   -or-

 - The full path to the document is more than 255 characters long.

   By design, the path to a Word for the Macintosh document name can be no

   longer than 255 characters.

RESOLUTION

==========

 - If the disk is write protected, remove the write protection and save

   the document again.

 - Save document in a folder whose full path contains fewer than 256

   characters.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When you save a document to a folder whose path is more than 255 characters

long, Word displays the "cannot save or create file..." error message and

creates a document named Word Work File in the first legal parent folder (a

folder whose full path contains fewer than 256 characters). The name of the

Word Work File may be truncated.

========

In Word for the Macintosh, when you select some text and then choose

AutoText from the Edit menu, the text appears in the Name box, but it is

not selected.

By contrast, the text in the Name box is selected, as expected, in Word for

Windows.

STATUS

======

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

the Edit AutoText dialog box. To select the contents, use the mouse or

press SHIFT+HOME.

Can't Change or Remove Electronic Mail Commands from File Menu

Article ID: Q119290

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You cannot change the names of the Send or Add Routing Slip commands on the

File menu, nor can your remove these commands from the File menu in Word

for Windows unless you disable the MAPI functionality of your electronic

mail (E-mail) program.

CAUSE

=====

The Send and Add Routing Slip commands on the File menu come from the .DLL

file associated with your E-mail program (for example, MAPI.DLL or

MAPIVIM.DLL). As a result, you cannot remove or change the names of these

commands from Word.

Note: You can still modify the functionality of these commands by modifying

the Word FileSend or FileAddRoutingSlip commands in a macro editing window.

The only thing you cannot change is their presence or names on the File

menu.

Word for Windows NT: Description of Features

Article ID: Q119292

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 for Windows NT is an adaptation of Word 6.0 for Windows. All of

the new features present in Word 6.0 for Windows NT were added specifically

to take advantage of the following features, which are unique to Windows

NT:

 - 32-bit architecture

 - Long filename support

 - Multithreaded printing

 - Registry support

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word for Windows NT offers the following features over its 16-bit Word for

Windows counterpart:

 - 32-bit Architecture

   Word for Windows NT is written to the Win32 API specification and

   is, therefore, a full 32-bit application.

 - Long Filename Support

   Word for Windows NT supports up to 255 characters for document file

   names. All Word dialog boxes that involve filenames, such as File Open,

   are wider to accommodate longer filenames as well.

 - Multithreaded Printing

   The background printing feature in Word for Windows NT runs as a

   separate thread. This makes working on documents and background

   printing smoother.

 - Registry Support

   Word for Windows NT stores all of its settings in the Windows NT

   Registry. As a result, multiple configurations of Word can exist on the

   same computer for different users. Word will also support user profiles,

   which means a user can move from one machine to another and continue to

   use his or her same Word configuration.

AutoFormat May Not Replace All Extra Paragraph Marks

Article ID: Q119296

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run the AutoFormat command on the Format menu, Word for Windows

may not remove all the extra paragraph marks from your document. This

behavior sometimes contradicts the tip on page 175 of the "Microsoft Word

User's Guide."

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When you run the AutoFormat command, Word removes extra paragraph marks if

you select the Paragraph Marks option in the AutoFormat Options dialog box.

(To open the AutoFormat Options dialog box, choose AutoFormat from the

Format menu, and then choose the Options button.)

How to Upgrade to Word 6.0 for the Macintosh

Article ID: Q119297

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

To purchase an upgrade to any Microsoft product, including Word 6.0 for the

Macintosh, you need to phone an authorized reseller. You should NOT phone

the Microsoft Sales Information Center (MSIC) at (800) 426-9400.

This policy can be somewhat confusing because current Microsoft marketing

literature refers customers first to a reseller, and then to the Microsoft

Sales Information Center. However, when you phone MSIC, the representative

refers you to a reseller.

Note: Microsoft Fulfillment [MEF] still processes orders for disk and

documentation sets from the order forms included in Microsoft product

packages.

the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Word for Windows in Office 4.2 May Not Display Correctly

Article ID: Q119298

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

After installing Microsoft Office version 4.2 from a Windows NT Advanced

Server 3.1 to a Windows NT 3.1 with the workstation setup option, the

output of fonts and dialog boxes for Word 6.0 for Windows may appear

incorrectly. For example, Word for Windows 6.0 may not display any fonts,

and dialog boxes may exceed the boundaries of the screen. The output of

other applications in the Office 4.2 suite are displayed correctly.

WORKAROUND

==========

A temporary workaround for this problem is to delete the current user

profile. However, the above behavior may occur again after a short period

of time.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT

Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post

new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes

available.

Spacing Problems Printing to HP DeskWriter

Article ID: Q119321

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, versions 4.0, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print from a Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskWriter using the DeskWriter

version 5.0 driver, there may be spacing problems between characters and

lines of text. Text may overlap or blank lines may be skipped.

CAUSE

=====

These spacing problems can occur if the document is formatted using the New

York or Geneva font, or if Fractional Widths is not activated.

WORKAROUND

==========

Word 6.0

--------

1. Select the text.

2. From the Format menu, choose Font and select Times or Helvetica from the

   Fonts list. Choose Ok.

3. From the Tools menu, choose Options and select the Print tab.

4. Select the Fractional Widths checkbox.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The DeskWriter 5.0 ReadMe document recommends not using the Geneva or New

York fonts with Word. It also recommends activating Fractional Widths. The

following is the text from the DeskWriter ReadMe document on MS Word:

   Be sure to turn Fractional Widths ON in the Page Setup dialog box. This

   will help to ensure print quality and prevent gaps in underlining.

   For best results when printing, avoid using Geneva and New York fonts.

   Use Helvetica and Times instead.

To locate the above information, open the ReadMe (DW 5.0) file located on

the HP DeskWriter disk 1. From the Contents menu, choose Software Notes and

scroll down to Microsoft Word (products are listed alphabetically).

                             INTRODUCTION

                             ============

This Application Note discusses menu changes between Word 5.1 and 6.0

for the Macintosh.

                         QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

                         =====================

1. Q. In Word 5.1, I have a Font menu, but it's missing in Word 6.0.

       How can I get a Font menu in Word 6.0?

    A. The Word 5.1 Font menu commands are located in the Format

       Character dialog box in Word 6.0. If you want to add a Font

       menu to Word 6.0, use the following procedure:

       1. From the Tools menu, choose Customize.

       2. Click the Menus tab.

       3. Choose the Menu Bar button.

       4. In the Position On Menu Bar box, select F&ormat.

       5. In the Name On Menu Bar box, type "font" (without quotation

          marks).

       6. Choose the Add After button, and then choose the Close

          button. Word returns to the Menus tab of the Tools Customize

          dialog box.

       7. In the Categories box, select Fonts.

       8. Choose the Add All button.

          -or-

          In the Fonts box, select the font you want to appear on your

          Font menu and then choose the Add button. Repeat this step

          until you have added all the fonts you want on your Font

          menu.

       9. Choose the Close button.

2. Q. On the Format menu in Word 6.0, the Document, Section, and

       Character commands are missing. Where do I find these commands?

    A. The former Document and Section commands have been combined

       into a single Word 6.0 command called Document Layout, which is

       located on the File menu. The former Character command is now

       called the Font command and is located on the Format menu. For

       more information about the changes in Word 6.0, see Chapter 2,

       "What's New in Word 6.0?" in the "Microsoft Word Quick Results"

       guide. For online information, double-click the Help button on

       the Standard toolbar and then type "new features" (without

       quotation marks).

3. Q. In Word 6.0, the Envelope button no longer appears on any of my

       toolbars. How can I add it?

    A. To add a button to a toolbar, you must first display that

       toolbar using the Toolbars command on the View menu. Then use

       the following procedure to add the Create Envelope button to

       one of your toolbars:

       1. From the Tools menu, choose Customize.

       2. Click the Toolbars tab.

       3. In the Categories list, select Tools.

       4. Under Buttons, click the Create Envelope Button and drag it

          to the position on the toolbar where you want to add the

          button.

       5. Choose the Close button.

4. Q. When I press the NUM LOCK or CLEAR key on my numeric keypad,

       Word does not toggle the numeric keypad on and off. Why not?

    A. In Word 6.0, the functionality of the NUM LOCK or CLEAR key has

       been changed to make it consistent with other applications and

       computer systems. When you press only that key, you are

       pressing CLEAR, which deletes characters to the right of the

       insertion point. To use the key to toggle the numeric keypad on

       and off, press SHIFT+NUM LOCK. For more information, double-

       click the Help button on the Standard toolbar and then type "num

       lock" (without quotation marks).

5. Q. In Word 6.0, I want to use the glossary entries I created in

       Word 5.x, but I can't find them. Where are they?

    A. In Word 6.0, glossaries are now called AutoText. To use

       glossary entries you created in an earlier version of Word, be

       sure to preserve your existing glossary files, such as the

       Standard Glossary, when you install Word 6.0. To convert your

       glossary entries from an earlier version of Word to AutoText

       entries, simply open the old glossary files in Word 6.0. Word

       6.0 stores the new AutoText entries in the template attached to

       the active document--usually the Normal template. For

       information about converting glossary entries from an earlier

       version of Word for the Macintosh, double-click the Help button

       on the Standard toolbar and then type "glossary" (without

       quotation marks).

6. Q. Where is my Work menu from Word 5.x for the Macintosh, and how

       can I get it back?

    A. You can customize Word 6.0 much more extensively than earlier

       versions of Word for the Macintosh. As a result, you can add

       items to any menu--not just a Work menu. Nonetheless, if you

       want to use your Word 5.x Work menu in Word 6.0, you must first

       open your Word Settings (5) and Standard Glossary files in Word

       6.0. After you open both files and merge their contents into

       your Normal Document Template, the Work menu will appear in

       Word 6.0.

       To add your Word 5.x Work menu to Word 6.0, use the following

       procedure:

       1. In Word 6.0, choose Open from the File menu.

       2. Select your Word Settings (5) file, located in the

          Preferences subfolder of the System folder, and choose OK.

       3. When Word displays the message "Would you prefer to merge

          the settings and styles...," choose the Merge To Current

          button.

          NOTE: Word merges only the custom glossary entries from your

          Word Settings (5) file. Word does not merge the built-in

          glossary entries, such as Date and Time, because Word 6.0

          includes fields for these operations.

       4. From the File menu, choose Open.

       5. Select your Standard Glossary (or other user-defined

          glossary), located in the Word 5.x program folder, and then

          choose OK.

       6. Choose OK when Word displays the "...user-defined glossary

          entries..." message. The Work menu should now appear in Word

          6.0.

This Application Note contains six frequently asked questions about setting

up and optimizing Microsoft Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh, followed by

the more in-depth "Optimizing the Performance of Word 6.0 for the

Macintosh" section.

1.  Q. What is the minimum Macintosh hardware and system configuration

       I need to run Word 6.0?

    A. To run Word 6.0, you need a Macintosh with a 68020 or higher

       processor and at least 4 megabytes (MB) of RAM. Word 6.0 also

       requires System 7.0 or later. To run Word 6.0 on a Power

       Macintosh, you need System 7.1 or later and at least 8 MB of

       RAM.

       The program disks provided in the Word package require a 1.4-MB

       floppy disk drive. The requirements for available hard disk

       space and system memory vary, depending on how you choose to

       install Word and how many applications you want to run

       simultaneously. The following table provides the minimum

       requirements for installing and running Word on a Macintosh and

       a Power Macintosh.

          Minimum             68020 or higher

          monitor

          Printer            Any Macintosh-compatible printer (optional)

       NOTE: The following Macintosh models are not compatible with

       Word 6.0: the 128K and 512K Macintosh, Macintosh Plus,

       Macintosh SE, Macintosh Portable, Macintosh Classic, and

       Apple(R) PowerBook(TM) 100.

2.  Q. How can I make Word 6.0 run faster on my Macintosh?

   A. Word 6.0 is the most powerful word processing software ever

      developed for the Macintosh platform. To get the best possible

      performance from Word, you may need to optimize your Macintosh

      system. This Application Note contains instructions you can use to

      optimize your Macintosh. To optimize your Macintosh, you may need to

      make adjustments to your system software (extensions and fonts) or

      hardware configuration (processor type, speed, amount of memory, and

      available hard disk space).

      For detailed instructions about optimizing Word on your Macintosh

      system, refer to the "Optimizing the Performance of Word 6.0 for the

      Macintosh" section, beginning on page 3 of this Application Note.

3.  Q. How do I install Word 6.0 on my network?

    A. Setting up Word on network workstations is a two-step process:

       First, you perform a network administrator's installation to

       install Word on a network file server or shared directory or

       folder. Then, each user runs Word Setup from the

       administrator's installation (rather than floppy disks) to

       install Word on a local workstation. You can share a single

       copy of Word with other users on your network, or you can

       install a private copy of Word on your workstation. To perform

       an administrator's installation of Word, use the procedures in

       Chapter 1, "Installing and Starting Word," in "Microsoft Word

       Quick Results". For more information about performing an

       administrator's installation on a network file server or in a

       shared directory or folder, see Appendix B, "Installing and

       Using Word on a Network," in the "Microsoft Word User's Guide."

       NOTE: Every Word user must have a Microsoft Word license. A

       license is obtained by buying a retail package or a Microsoft

       License Pak. For more information about network use

       restrictions, see your Microsoft Word license agreement.

4.  Q. What components does Setup install on my computer?

    A. In addition to the Word 6.0 program, Setup installs online

       Help, proofing tools (including hyphenation, spelling checker,

       grammar checker, and thesaurus tools), templates, wizards,

       sample documents, and the following shared OLE applications:

       Equation Editor, Microsoft Movie, WordArt, Microsoft Graph, and

       Voice Annotation. For a complete list of the files that Word

       Setup installs for each installation option, see Word's online

       ReadMe Help file.

5.  Q. How do I install Word 6.0 over Word 4.0 or 5.0?

    A. If you have enough hard disk space, you can install Word 6.0 in

       a new location. If you later delete your previous version of

       Word, be careful not to delete your existing documents, custom

       dictionaries, or glossary files. If you install Word 6.0 in a

       different directory or folder and keep the previous version of

       Word as well, Setup does not change the existing Word files or

       modify system information related to the previous version of

       Word.

       If you install Word 6.0 in the same location as your previous

       version of Word, Setup upgrades (replaces) the previous version

       of Word. Setup keeps all your existing documents, glossary

       files, custom dictionaries, and address lists so that you can

       use them in Word 6.0.

       For more information about upgrading from an earlier version of

       Word for the Macintosh, choose Microsoft Word Help from the

       Help menu, click Reference Information, and then click What's

       New In Word 6.0.

6.  Q. What is the difference between the Complete, Typical, and

       Minimum installations of Word 6.0?

    A. For a Typical installation, you need 13 MB of available hard

       disk space (15 MB on a Power Macintosh). For a Typical

       installation, Setup installs the most common Word components,

       including the spelling and grammar checkers, the thesaurus,

       online Help, WordArt, and Microsoft Graph.

       For a Complete installation, which installs the entire Word

       application, you need 25 MB of available hard disk space (27 MB

       on a Power Macintosh). If you perform a Custom installation,

       Setup installs only those Word features that you select.

       For a Minimum installation, you need 5 MB of available hard

       disk space (8 MB on a Power Macintosh). A Minimum installation

       includes only the Word program, spelling checker, and the Word

       ReadMe Help file. Select this installation option if you don't

       have much available hard disk space or are installing Word on a

       laptop.

       OPTIMIZING THE PERFORMANCE OF WORD 6.0 FOR THE MACINTOSH

       ========================================================

INTRODUCTION

============

Word 6.0 is larger and more robust than earlier versions of the

application, so your computer requires more resources to run it. As a

result, the performance of your Macintosh, and therefore Word 6.0, may

be slower. This Application Note describes how you can increase the

operating speed of Word 6.0 for Macintosh when it is running under

Apple System 7.x.

When you optimize the performance of your Macintosh system, you also

speed up the performance of Word. Optimizing the system involves both

your software (for example, the operating system version, extensions,

fonts, and device drivers) and hardware (for example, processor type

and speed, amount of memory, and available hard disk space). You can

use this Application Note as a checklist to optimize both your

software and hardware configurations for Word and other Macintosh-

based applications running under System 7.x.

HOW TO OPTIMIZE WORD ON A MACINTOSH WITH 4 TO 6 MB OF RAM

=========================================================

To run Word 6.0, you must have at least 4 MB of RAM. As with most

minimum requirements, 4 MB is not the optimal amount of memory to run

Word. To run Word 6.0 optimally, we suggest that you either add more

RAM to your computer, or optimize your existing RAM. Even with a 4-MB

environment, you can almost always improve Word's performance by

configuring your Macintosh system to free up additional memory.

Add More Memory

---------------

If you regularly work with large documents (50 pages or more) or use

many graphics in your documents, adding RAM gives you the most

dramatic improvement in Word's operating speed. If your computer has 8

MB of RAM, Word runs faster, and you can also run another large

application (such as Microsoft Excel) at the same time and interact

with it from Word. On the other hand, if you work primarily with

average-sized documents (50 or fewer pages) and don't use many

graphics, the suggestions that follow should help increase Word's

speed on your 4- to 6-MB computer.

How to Make 4 MB Seem Like More RAM

-----------------------------------

The key to making Word run faster on a computer with 4 MB of RAM is to

free up memory currently used by other operations that have little or

no effect on Word's performance. Use the following recommendations to

make sure the maximum amount of RAM is available for Word to use. The

first recommendations optimize the Macintosh system; the last

recommendation specifically optimizes Word.

   Increasing Available Memory in System 7.x

   =========================================

   This section discusses how you can optimize the Macintosh by

   configuring the Macintosh system.

   Disk Cache/RAM Cache

   --------------------

   On a 4-MB computer, it is important to free up as much memory as

   possible. Although the disk and RAM cache features are designed to

   increase performance, they reserve memory for their purpose--reducing

   the amount of overall available memory. Therefore, minimize the Disk

   Cache setting to 32 kilobytes (K), the smallest setting possible, and

   set the RAM Cache setting to Off. Both of these options are located

   in the Memory control panel.

   Reduce Background Programs--Extensions, Control Panels, and Drivers

   -------------------------------------------------------------------

   Background tasks are allocated valuable memory on your 4-MB Macintosh.

   Limiting the number of background applications that load when you

   start the Macintosh may noticeably increase your Macintosh's available

   memory. Extensions, control panels, and drivers are examples of

   background applications that are loaded into memory at startup.

   For information about background programs, refer to the "Background

   Processing - Extensions, Control Panels, and Drivers" section of this

   Application Note.

   Modify Word's Advanced Settings

   ===============================

   To increase bitmap-redrawing speed and scrolling speed in Word, you

   can use the instructions below to add BitMapMemory and CacheSize

   settings to the "Microsoft Word" category of Word's Advanced Settings.

   To have access to these settings, add the Advanced Settings command to

   the Tools menu with the following steps:

   1. From the Tools menu, choose Customize. Click the Menu tab.

   2. Under Categories, select Tools. Under Commands, select

      ToolsAdvancedSettings.

   3. Click the Add button. Click the Close button.

   BitMapMemory

   ------------

   If your documents often contain many graphics, you should skip this

   section--it could actually make Word run more slowly. Otherwise, by

   modifying the BitMapMemory setting, you can free up some of the memory

   (up to 512K) Word reserves to work with bitmapped graphics. The

   default BitMapMemory size is 1024K (1 MB).

   NOTE: This setting has no effect on the speed of accessing or

   displaying vector graphics such as PICT, EPS, and Windows(TM) metafile

   graphics that do not contain bitmaps as part of their format.

   To add the BitMapMemory setting to Word's Advanced Settings:

   1. From the Tools menu, choose Advanced Settings. If Advanced Settings

      is not available on the Tools menu, see the "Modify Word's Advanced

      Settings" section above.

   2. In the Categories box, choose Microsoft Word.

   3. In the Option box, type BitMapMemory.

   4. In the Setting box, type 512. Click Set and then OK.

   If Word does not seem to run faster, or if Word runs more slowly,

   remove the BitMapMemory setting:

   1. From the Tools menu, choose Advanced Settings. If Advanced settings

      is not available on the Tools menu, see the "Modify Word's Advanced

      Settings" section above.

   2. In the Categories box, choose Microsoft Word.

   3. In the Options box, click the BitMapMemory setting once, and then

      click the Delete button. Click OK.

   CacheSize

   ---------

   The CacheSize setting defines the size of the internal DocumentText

   cache in Word. The default CacheSize setting is 64K, which is also the

   minimum. If you frequently work with large documents, you can increase

   the CacheSize setting to reduce the frequency with which Word accesses

   your hard disk to retrieve parts of your document--thereby improving

   Word's performance. Because of memory constraints on a 4-MB computer,

   the maximum CacheSize setting you should use is 128K.

   To add the CacheSize setting to Word's Advanced Settings:

   1. Repeat steps 1 and 2 in the "BitMapMemory" section of this

      Application Note to access Word's Advanced Settings.

   2. For Option, type CacheSize.

   3. For Setting, type 128. Click Set and then OK.

HOW TO OPTIMIZE WORD ON A MACINTOSH WITH AT LEAST 6 MB OF RAM

=============================================================

On a computer with at least 6 MB of RAM, Word 6.0 for the Macintosh

runs well, even if you make no changes to your Word or Macintosh

System configurations. If you have 6 MB or more of RAM, Word can make

more use of memory and does not need to access the hard disk as

frequently. Even so, you may still be able to improve Word's

performance by making the following additional adjustments to your

system.

Allocate Memory to Word

-----------------------

When Word is installed, the installer program allocates a certain

amount of memory to the Word application, based on the amount of

memory on the Macintosh. The following table shows how much memory is

allocated to Word when it is installed, based on the total memory on

your Macintosh:

   Memory on the Macintosh     Setup will allocate

--------------------------------------------------------------

   0-5999K                     2000K

   6000-7000K                  2500K

   7000K and greater           3000K

2000K-2500K is sufficient for simple tasks and smaller documents.

However, if you are working on larger documents (50 pages or more) or

documents with many graphics, or if you are performing more memory-

intensive tasks (such as grammar checking), allocate more memory to

Word if it is available.

For example, if you have 5 MB of memory, Word is allocated 2.5 MB when

it is installed. If the system uses 1.5 MB for itself, that leaves 3.5

MB available when no applications are running. You can safely allocate

another .5 MB of memory to Word, bringing the total to 3 MB.

To allocate more memory to Word, select the Microsoft Word icon in the

Finder. From the File menu, choose Get Info. Increase the Preferred

Size, based on how much available memory your Macintosh has.

Allocating more memory to Word helps, but generally, unless your

documents contain large numbers of graphics (in which case allocating

up to 6 MB of memory may improve performance), allocating more than 3-

4 MB of memory to Word does not necessarily increase the speed of

Word.

Disk Cache

----------

You can increase the disk cache setting in your Macintosh if you have

enough available memory. A larger disk cache can improve the

performance of your Macintosh by setting up a portion of memory to

store frequently used information that is usually accessed from a hard

disk. The disk cache speeds up Macintosh operations such as opening

and quitting Word, loading portions of Word (for example, the grammar

checker), and switching between active programs. The disk cache option

is located in the Macintosh Memory control panel.

ADVANCED SETTINGS

=================

You can increase the BitMapMemory or CacheSize settings in Word's

Advanced Settings if you have at least 8 MB of RAM. To modify these

settings, use the procedures in the "Modify Word's Advanced Settings"

section of this Application Note. That section also contains a

description of the BitMapMemory and CacheSize settings.

BitMapMemory

------------

If your documents frequently contain many bitmapped graphics (such as

scanned images and screen captures), you can increase the redrawing

and scrolling speed of bitmaps by increasing the amount of memory that

Word reserves for these operations. On a computer with at least 8 MB

of RAM, you can increase the BitMapMemory setting as high as 2048K (2

MB). The following sample entry from Advanced Settings sets the

BitMapMemory value at 2048K:

   [Microsoft Word]

   bitmapmemory=2048

CacheSize

---------

If you primarily work with large documents, you can increase the

CacheSize setting to enlarge Word's internal Document Text cache. With

a larger cache, Word does not need to access the hard disk as

frequently, which speeds up performance. Start by changing the

CacheSize setting to 256K and then, if necessary, increase it to 1024K

(1 MB). The following sample entries from Advanced Settings set these

values respectively:

   [Microsoft Word]

   cachesize=256

   [Microsoft Word]

   cachesize=1024

NOTE: You may not need both the BitMapMemory and CacheSize settings,

depending on the type of documents you usually create. If you change

one of these settings and do not notice any improvement in Word's

performance, delete the setting so that Word, System 7.x, and other

applications can use the memory for other operations. You may find

that Word's default settings already provide optimal performance.

16 MB of RAM or More: Create a RAM Disk

---------------------------------------

If you have at least 16 MB of RAM, you can create a RAM disk, which

can provide an increase in Macintosh performance by reserving memory

to emulate a disk. Because memory access is much faster than hard disk

access, running Word from a RAM disk may result in a performance

increase.

The System 7.x RAM Disk feature is available in the Memory control

panel. To run Word from a RAM disk, you must allocate enough memory

for Word (at least 4 MB).

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR IMPROVING WORD FOR THE MACINTOSH PERFORMANCE

================================================================

General Speed Tips

------------------

   Background Processing - Extensions, Control Panels, and Drivers

   ===============================================================

   Besides consuming memory on a Macintosh, background tasks force your

   Macintosh to distribute its processing time instead of concentrating

   it on your foreground application. Even if they are completely idle,

   background applications are allocated processor time that could be

   devoted to simple tasks such as updating windows. Extensions, control

   panels, and drivers are examples of background applications that are

   loaded into memory at startup. Limiting the number of background

   applications that load when you start the Macintosh may noticeably

   increase performance. To modify your control panel settings, choose

   Control Panels from the Apple menu. Extensions and drivers are located

   in the System Folder's Extensions folder.

   To determine the performance increase you can obtain by paring down

   the amount of background processing, try starting your Macintosh

   without extensions. First, choose About This Macintosh from the Apple

   menu and write down the Largest Unused Block value. Then start your

   Macintosh without extensions. (To start without extensions, hold down

   the SHIFT key when you start the Macintosh. When you see the message

   "Welcome to Macintosh Extensions Off," you can release the SHIFT key.)

   Check to see what the Largest Unused Block value is now.

   NOTE: Some extensions, control panels, and drivers are necessary for

   important tasks, such as connecting to the network, printing,

   accessing a CD-ROM drive, and so forth. Your ability to pare down your

   extensions, control panels, and drivers depends greatly on how you use

   your Macintosh.

   Use the Right Display Mode for Faster Screen Display

   ====================================================

   You may not need the millions of colors your Macintosh can support.

   Monitor settings significantly affect operations on the Macintosh that

   entail redrawing the screen (for example, screen updates that occur

   when you scroll or update graphics). If you are writing reports and

   working with spreadsheets, you may need only 16 to 256 colors. (You

   can easily switch back to using more colors if no change in

   performance occurs or if your work requires additional video

   capabilities.)

   In black-and-white mode, a single bit is used to track the color of

   each pixel on the screen. This figure increases proportionally with

   1-bit, 2-bit, 4-bit, on up to 24-bit color mode (millions of colors).

   Use the table below, which lists the memory "cost" of additional

   colors, to balance your performance needs with your display needs.

      Colors         Memory cost

   -------------------------------------------------------------------

      16             Base number (lowest cost)

      256            2 times the memory/work of 16 colors

      65K            4 times the memory/work of 16 colors

      16 million     6 times the memory/work of 16 colors

   You can set the number of colors or shades of gray your monitor can

   use by opening the Monitors control panel in Control Panels.

   Optimize Hard Disk Access

   =========================

   By optimizing your hard disk periodically, you can improve disk access

   time. The access speed of a hard disk affects overall Macintosh

   performance, more so in conditions of significant disk activity (such

   as reading or writing a file or reading an application or segments of

   an application). Because Word is a large application, a significant

   amount of hard disk access occurs when reading parts of the

   application into memory.

   File fragmentation on the hard disk can slow reading and writing.

   Fragmentation occurs with the ongoing deletion from and insertion of

   information onto the disk and results in a lack of continuous space to

   place information. With disk-intensive activities, hard disk

   fragmentation hinders the performance of your Macintosh.

   Optimizing the drive rearranges the contents of a disk so that the

   files are stored on sectors located next to one another. Optimizing a

   drive increases the speed of file access. There are several programs

   available for optimizing drives on the Macintosh.

   Virtual Memory

   ==============

   The System 7.x Virtual Memory feature swaps out portions of files and

   programs from memory to the hard disk. With the Virtual Memory feature

   turned on, a 4-MB Macintosh can perform tasks that require more than 4

   MB of memory. However, because hard disk access time is much slower

   than memory access time, virtual memory is much slower than random-

   access memory. Whenever possible, you should not use virtual memory.

How to Print Faster

-------------------

Many factors affect printing speed. Below is a short checklist of

steps you can take that may help increase printing speed:

 - Use printer-resident fonts instead of their TrueType(R)

   counterparts. For example, when you print to a PostScript(R)

   printer, if you normally use New York, use Times instead. These are

   very similar fonts (although Times is a bit smaller), but a font

   description for Times already exists in the printer. Therefore, the

   font definition is not added to the print job sent to the printer.

   The New York font description, however, does not exist in the

   printer, so it must be sent with the print job. Font descriptions

   can dramatically increase the size of a print job, which causes

   slower printing.

 - If you print over a network, consult your network documentation to

   make sure your print server is working optimally.

 - If you don't need to continue working while Word is printing, turn

   off the Background Printing option. This option allocates processor

   time to Word during a print job so that you can continue working;

   however, this means less processor time is available for printing.

   To turn off Background Printing, choose Chooser from the Apple

   menu, click once on your LaserWriter(R) printer on the left side.

   Under Background Printing in the bottom-right corner, click Off.

1.  Q. How do I convert my Word 4.x and 5.x for the Macintosh or Word

       for Windows(TM) files to Word 6.0 for the Macintosh format?

    A. Word comes with converters for Word 4.x and 5.x for the

       Macintosh and Word 2.x for Windows. To convert these (and most

       other) types of documents, you simply open them in Word 6.0 for

       the Macintosh. Word handles the conversion automatically,

       preserving the original content and formatting. Most of the

       time, Word recognizes the file format, converts the document,

       and displays it in a Word window. If the converter you need was

       not installed when you installed Word, Word displays the

       Convert File dialog box and asks you to choose a converter. To

       install additional converters, you need to run Word Setup

       again. For information about installing components, double-

       click the Help button on the Standard toolbar, type "setup"

       (without quotation marks), and press ENTER twice.

       If you have installed all the converters that come with Word

       and you still don't see the one you need, you may be able to

       obtain it on a supplemental disk. For instructions about how to

       obtain supplemental converters and graphics filters that were

       not shipped with Word, double-click the Help button on the

       Standard toolbar, and then type "readme" (without quotation

       marks). Press ENTER twice, and then click File Conversion.

       NOTE: Word Setup does not install any file converters if you

       performed a Typical or Minimum installation. If the converter

       you need is not installed, run Word Setup again.

       For more information about converting files in Word 6.0 for the

       Macintosh, refer to one of the following resources:

        - For online instructions, double-click the Help button on the

          Standard toolbar, then type "converting file" (without

          quotation marks). You can also double-click the Help button

          on the Standard toolbar, type "readme", press ENTER twice,

          and click File Conversion.

        - "Microsoft Word Quick Results," version 6.0, Chapter 6,

          "Switching from a Previous Version of Word."

        - "Microsoft Word User's Guide," version 6.0, Chapter 26,

          "Converting File Formats."

        - To convert several documents at once, use the batch

          conversion macro in the Convert template (BatchConversion).

2.  Q. How do I convert my Word 6.0 for the Macintosh files to other

       file formats, including Word 4.x or 5.x for the Macintosh or Word

       for Windows?

    A. By using the converters supplied with Word for the Macintosh,

       you can save Word documents in other file formats and preserve

       as much formatting as the other application can support. To

       save a file in another file format, including Word 4.x or 5.x

       for the Macintosh or Word 2.x for Windows format, you simply

       use the Save As command: Choose Save As from the File menu,

       select a file format in the Save File As Type box, type a name

       for the file, and then choose the Save button.

       If the file format you need does not appear in the Save File As

       Type box, the converter is not installed. To install additional

       converters, run Word Setup again. For information about

       installing components, double-click the Help button on the

       Standard toolbar, type "setup" (without quotation marks), and

       press ENTER twice.

       If you have installed all the converters that come with Word

       and you still don't see the one you need, you may be able to

       obtain it on a supplemental disk. For instructions about how to

       obtain supplemental converters and graphics filters that were

       not shipped with Word, double-click the Help button on the

       Standard toolbar, and then type "readme" (without quotation

       marks). Press ENTER twice, and then click File Conversion.

       NOTE: Word Setup does not install any file converters if you

       performed a Typical or Minimum installation. If the converter

       you need is not installed, run Word Setup again.

       Word recognizes the file formats of many common word-

       processing, spreadsheet, database, and page-layout programs. If

       you need to transfer documents between Word and applications

       for which specific converters aren't available, you can also

       import and export documents in plain-text formats. Plain-text

       formats retain the text of a document without most of the

       formatting. These formats are also useful for transferring

       documents when using electronic mail systems.

       Refer to one of the following resources for more information

       about converting files in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh:

        - For online instructions, double-click the Help button on the

          Standard toolbar, then type "converting file" (without

          quotation marks). You can also double-click the Help button

          on the Standard toolbar, type "readme", press ENTER twice,

          and click File Conversion.

          "Switching from a Previous Version of Word."

        - "Microsoft Word User's Guide," version 6.0, Chapter 26,

          "Converting File Formats."

        - To convert several documents at once, use the batch

          conversion macro in the Convert template (BatchConversion).

3.  Q. How do I convert my dictionaries from an earlier version of Word

       for the Macintosh or from Word for Windows?

    A. In Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, you can use your dictionaries

       from Word 4.x or 5.x for the Macintosh and from Word 6.0 for

       Windows. For instructions about opening and using a custom

       dictionary, order this set of questions and answers; see

       Chapter 5, "Editing and Proofing Tools," in the "Microsoft Word

       User's Guide," or double-click the Help button on the Standard

       toolbar and then type "custom dictionaries" (without quotation

       marks).

       To install a custom dictionary from Word 4.x or 5.x for the

       Macintosh:

       1. Open a new document based on the Normal template by choosing

          the New button on the Standard toolbar.

       2. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

       3. Select the Spelling tab.

       4. Under Custom Dictionaries, choose the Add button.

       5. From the List Files Of Type box, select All Files.

       6. Select the custom dictionary you want to use in Word 6.0 and

          then choose the Open button.

          Word adds the dictionary to the Custom Dictionary in the

          Tools Options dialog box and selects the check box next to

          it. When this happens, the custom dictionary is ready to use

          in Word.

       7. Choose OK.

       To install a custom dictionary from Word 6.0 for Windows:

       1. Transfer the custom dictionary to the Macintosh environment

          using a file transfer utility such as Apple(R) File

          Exchange.

       2. Start Word 6.0 for the Macintosh.

       3. Follow steps 1 through 7 in the previous procedure, "To

          install a custom dictionary from Word 4.x or 5.x for the

          Macintosh."

4.  Q. How do I convert my glossaries from an earlier version of Word

       for the Macintosh?

    A. In Word 6.0, glossaries are now called AutoText entries. To

       convert your glossaries from earlier versions of Word for the

       Macintosh to AutoText entries, simply open the glossary file in

       Word 6.0. Choose OK when Word displays the following message:

          The user-defined glossary entries in this file will be

          converted to AutoText entries, and stored in the current

          template, <Template Name>. Built-in glossary entries are

          available via the Insert Date and Time or Insert Field

          commands.

       For additional information, double-click the Help button on the

       Standard toolbar. Then type "glossary" (without quotation marks).

       NOTE: In Word 5.x for the Macintosh, glossaries are usually

       located in the program folder, which may be titled "Microsoft

       Word," "Word 5.1," or a similar name.

5.  Q. How do I convert my settings files and default styles from

       earlier versions of Word for the Macintosh so I can use them in

       Word 6.0?

    A. To use your Word 5.0 or 5.1 settings files, including default

       styles, in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, save the settings in a

       document template. To do this, open the settings file in Word

       6.0, then save the file in Document Template file format. When

       you open your settings file, Word displays the following

       message:

          Would you prefer to merge the settings and styles in this

          file into the current template, <Template Name>, or to save

          them to a new template?

       Choose the Merge To Current button to save your settings in the

       current template, or choose the Save button to save your

       settings in a new Word template. In either case, be sure to

       save the template in your Template folder.

       NOTE: In Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, you can convert settings

       files from Word 5.0 or 5.1 only. You cannot convert Word 4.x

       settings files.

       When you base a new document on the template, you can use many

       of the customized menu and keyboard shortcuts you stored in the

       settings file. Some menu and keyboard settings, however, cannot

       be used in Word 6.0. Preferences and other options you saved in

       the settings file, such as spelling and grammar options, are

       not saved in the template.

       For additional information, double-click the Help button on the

       Standard toolbar, then type "settings" (without quotation marks).

6.  Q. How do I convert stationery documents to templates?

    A. If you used stationery in earlier versions of Word, consider

       converting the stationery to a Word template. To convert the

       stationery to a Word template, choose Save As from the File

       menu, and then select Document Template in the Save File As

       Type box.

       For additional information, double-click the Help button on the

       Standard toolbar. Then type "stationary" (without quotation marks).

7.  Q. How do I convert my Word 5.x envelope address lists so I can use

       them in Word 6.0?

    A. To use addresses generated with the Create Envelope command in

       Word version 5.1, convert them to AutoText entries in Word 6.0

       using the Word 5.1 Upgrade template, which is located in the

       Macros folder in the Word program folder. To use the macros in

       the Word 5.1 Upgrade template, choose Open from the File menu

       and open the 5.1 Upgrade template. Then follow the directions

       in the template. Before you convert the addresses, make sure

       your Word 5.1 Word Toolbar Prefs file is in the Preferences

       folder in the System Folder.

       For additional information about converting Word 5.1 address

       lists, double-click the Help button on the Standard toolbar.

       Then type "address lists" (without quotation marks).

       For information about using these addresses when you print

       envelopes, see "Using Addresses from Word 5.1 for the

       Macintosh," in Chapter 23, "Printing," of the "Microsoft Word

       User's Guide."

NEW FEATURES FOR WORD FOR THE MACINTOSH

=======================================

This section introduces new features that are unique to Word for the

Macintosh and those features that were formerly available only in Word

for Windows(TM), including the WordBasic macro programming language.

WordBasic macros and AppleEvents scripts

----------------------------------------

With the Macro command on the Tools menu, you can write a WordBasic

macro or record a series of actions and keystrokes. Word records the

actions as a WordBasic macro, which you can then edit.

You can run most macros that were created in Word for Windows in Word

for the Macintosh. Macros that work on the contents of a document and

use features that are common to both Windows and Macintosh versions of

Word 6.0 require little, if any, editing. Macros that involve system-

level operations, such as launching other applications, will need to

be edited.

Word for the Macintosh supports AppleEvents and AppleScript(TM). You can

use WordBasic to record actions in Word, and then run the WordBasic

macro from AppleScript. A script in AppleScript can also run any built-

in WordBasic statement or function.

For more information about WordBasic and AppleScript, see the

"Microsoft Word Developer's Kit," published by Microsoft Press(R).

Word fields insert information automatically

--------------------------------------------

In previous versions of Word for the Macintosh, you inserted such

information as the date, time, author, and filename by inserting a

standard glossary entry. Now you can insert these and many other types

of information -- and keep the information current--by using a Word

field. You can insert commonly used fields for the date, time, and

page numbers simply by choosing the Date And Time and Page Numbers

commands on the Insert menu. To insert other types of information, use

the Field command on the Insert menu.

For more information about Word fields, see Chapter 32, "Inserting

Information with Fields," in the "Microsoft Word User's Guide."

Word provides templates for documents

-------------------------------------

Like Macintosh stationery, a Word template is a "master blueprint" for

a new document. Just choose the New command from the File menu, and

then select the template you want. Word copies any boilerplate text,

styles, margin settings, and other formatting from the template to a

new, untitled document.

Other items you can store in a template include AutoText entries,

macros, toolbars, and other command settings that you want to use with

a particular type of document. You can use these stored items in any

document that you base on that template. For example, if you create a

group of macros for use with sales reports and assign the macros to a

toolbar, you can store the macros and customized toolbar in the report

template.

Word provides many ready-to-use templates for creating documents, such

as business letters, reports, and memos. If you performed a complete

installation of Word, all templates and wizards are installed. If you

performed a typical installation, templates and wizards for letters,

memos, and fax cover sheets are installed. To install the remaining

templates and wizards, run Word Setup again and select the Templates

And Wizards check box under Wizards, Templates, and Letters.

For a description of these templates, see Chapter 5, "Wizards,

Templates, and Business Letters." For information on using your

existing stationery with Word, see Chapter 10, "Document Templates,"

in the "Microsoft Word User's Guide."

WIZARDS AND "AUTO" FEATURES SIMPLIFY COMMON TASKS

=================================================

Word now includes the following features to automate and simplify the

creation, formatting, and production of documents:

Wizards, templates, and prewritten business letters get you started

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Using a wizard is often the fastest way to create a letter, memo,

resume, newsletter, or other common type of document. Choose the New

command from the File menu, and then select a wizard for the type of

document that you want to create. After you answer a few questions,

Word sets up the basic formatting and layout. Then just add text,

graphics, and other items. The Letter Wizard and prewritten business

letters can even give you a big head start in creating the text of

business correspondence. Word also includes many new templates to help

you format documents quickly.

AutoCorrect fixes common typing mistakes as you work

----------------------------------------------------

For example, if you type "teh", AutoCorrect replaces it with "the" as

soon as you press the SPACEBAR. You can add AutoCorrect entries for

specific errors that you want to correct. AutoCorrect can also fix

certain capitalization errors and change straight quotation marks to

curly, or "smart," quotation marks as you work. You control which

AutoCorrect options are in effect.

You can also use AutoCorrect to quickly insert words or phrases that

are long or difficult to type. For example, use AutoCorrect to replace

"asap" with "as soon as possible."

AutoText speeds up the addition of boilerplate text and graphics

----------------------------------------------------------------

Use AutoText (called the "glossary" in previous versions of Word) if

you frequently type the same words and phrases or often need to use a

particular table layout, logo, or graphic. For example, you can create

AutoText entries for:

 - Text such as names, technical terms, and standard text for

   contracts.

 - Formatted items such as tables, mastheads, and lists.

 - Graphics such as pictures, logos, and charts.

You can use the AutoText button on the Standard toolbar to store and

insert AutoText entries. To create an AutoText entry, select the text

or graphic that you want to store, click the AutoText button, type a

name for the entry that is easy to remember, and then choose the Add

button.

AutoFormat analyzes a document and applies formatting for you

-------------------------------------------------------------

AutoFormat combines styles and templates in a powerful new way.

AutoFormat analyzes and polishes a document for you. You can quickly

reformat all or part of a document and approve the changes AutoFormat

makes.

Add bullets and numbers to multiple-level lists

-----------------------------------------------

Creating bulleted and numbered lists in Word is easier than ever--even

if you need to format complex multiple-level lists for legal and

technical documents. Use the Numbering button or the Bullets button on

the Formatting toolbar to set up simple lists. Use the Bullets And

Numbering command to set up a multilevel list, and then click the

Increase Indent and Decrease Indent buttons on the Formatting toolbar

to change the hierarchy of items in the list. Later, as you edit a

list, Word renumbers the items automatically.

Create numbered headings with built-in heading styles

-----------------------------------------------------

If your documents require numbered headings, use the built-in heading

styles and the new Heading Numbering command on the Format menu. Word

numbers headings in the format that you specify and updates the

numbers whenever you move, add, or delete a heading.

AutoCaption helps you quickly add captions and create cross-references

----------------------------------------------------------------------

When you insert a table, graphic, equation, or other item into a

document, Word can now automatically add a caption to it. You can

specify the label ("Figure," "Table," "Equation," and so on) that is

added to an item, and Word adds a number. If you later rearrange, add,

or delete items with captions, Word updates the numbers automatically.

To create cross-references to captions, headings, tables, and other

items, just select the item that you want to refer to from the list in

the Cross-reference dialog box.

NEW EDITING FEATURES

====================

Word includes improvements to such essential editing features as Undo,

drag-and-drop editing, and Find and Replace.

Fix mistakes with multiple-level Undo

-------------------------------------

Word keeps track of all the editing or formatting changes that you

make. To fix a single mistake or cancel certain actions such as

finding and replacing text, click the Undo button on the Standard

toolbar. To undo more than one action, click the arrow beside the Undo

button, and then select the changes that you want to reverse. If you

decide that you'd like to keep a change after all, click the Redo

button. Or click the arrow beside the Redo button, and then select the

items you want to redo.

Revise documents with smart cut and paste and drag-and-drop editing

-------------------------------------------------------------------

When you cut and paste text or use drag-and-drop editing to move or

copy text, Word adjusts spaces to make the text fit its surroundings.

Drag and drop text and graphics across windows

----------------------------------------------

To move or copy text, graphics, or other items from one Word window to

another, just drag and drop. You can also drag items between

applications that support OLE.

Use enhanced Find and Replace for more flexible searching

---------------------------------------------------------

The Find and Replace commands are now both more flexible and more

straightforward. To find nonprinting characters (tab characters,

paragraph marks, page breaks, and so on), just select the item that

you're looking for from a list. With the Pattern Matching option, you

can find various sequences of characters. For example, you can search

for two or more spaces and replace them with a tab character. With the

Sounds Like option, you can search for words that sound the same but

are spelled differently, such as "color" and "colour," or words whose

spelling you aren't sure of.

NEW FORMATTING AND STYLE OPTIONS

================================

In addition to the AutoFormat feature, Word now includes other new

ways for you to work with formatting and styles.

Copy formatting with the Format Painter

---------------------------------------

The Format Painter button provides a quick way to copy formatting.

Just "pick up" the formatting that you want to copy, and then "paint

it" onto the text you want to format. To copy formatting once, select

the formatted text and click the Format Painter button, and then

select the text you want to format. To copy formatting several times,

double-click the Format Painter button before copying the formatting.

Add borders and shading quickly with the new Borders toolbar

------------------------------------------------------------

The Borders toolbar provides quick access to a variety of borders for

paragraphs, graphics, and frames--including dotted, dashed, and

other new border styles.

Click the Borders button on the Formatting toolbar to display the

Borders toolbar. With the Borders toolbar, you can add or remove

borders and apply shading directly in a document--without switching

between the item you want to format and a dialog box.

Just click the item you want to format, and then click buttons on the

toolbar.

Character styles bring the power of styles

to individual characters and words

----------------------------------

With character styles, you can apply several text formats

simultaneously. For example, if you frequently apply bold and italic

formats to text, or if you often need to format text in a specific

font and size, you can save that formatting as a character style and

apply it in one step.

Automatic kerning helps you polish documents

--------------------------------------------

If the fonts you use support kerning, the new kerning capabilities in

the Font dialog box (Format menu) improve the spacing between certain

letter pairs. Kerning is especially useful in headings and other text

formatted in a large font size.

The Organizer dialog box helps you copy and manage styles

---------------------------------------------------------

You can now copy individual styles, macros, AutoText entries, and

toolbars between documents and templates. You can also use the

Organizer dialog box to rename and delete these items. From the File

menu, choose Templates or choose Style from the Format menu, and then

choose the Organizer button.

NEW PAGE LAYOUT CHOICES

=======================

Improvements to such features as newspaper-style columns and headers

and footers give you more choices in setting up pages. And now you can

see multiple pages at once in an editable "thumbnail" view.

Create newspaper-style columns of unequal width

-----------------------------------------------

With the Columns command on the Format menu, you can now set the width

of each newspaper-style column. You can select a preset format or

adjust the width of columns individually. Just select the text that

you want to format in columns, select a column layout, and Word

arranges the columns.

Get an overview of a document with

"thumbnail" pictures in print preview

-------------------------------------

Print preview can now show you more than two pages. You can display a

series of thumbnail pictures of a document, drag text and graphics

from one page to another, and zoom in to edit text.

MAIL MERGE STEP BY STEP

=======================

Mail Merge simplifies the creation of form letters

--------------------------------------------------

Word takes you through the basic steps for creating form letters,

mailing labels, and other types of merge documents. Just choose the

Mail Merge command from the Tools menu and follow the instructions on

the screen. You can create a letter and mailing list from "scratch,"

or use an existing document and data from Microsoft Access(R),

Microsoft Excel, Microsoft FoxPro(R), or another source.

Print envelopes and labels easily

---------------------------------

To print multiple envelopes or labels that each have a different

address, use the Mail Merge command on the Tools menu. To print just

one envelope or mailing label, or to print several with the same

address, use the Envelopes And Labels command on the Tools menu. Word

walks you through the process and handles formerly time-consuming

steps for you. You don't have to measure labels and change page

setups. With the envelope options, you can control the text format and

position of the return and delivery addresses.

Add bar codes and FIM marks to envelopes

----------------------------------------

If you send mail within the United States, you can quickly add bar

codes and Facing Identification Marks (FIM marks) to envelopes.

EASIER-TO-USE INTERFACE

=======================

In Word version 6.0, more commands, options, and features are right

where you need them. For example, new toolbars and shortcut menus give

you great flexibility as you work on documents.

New toolbars put more commands and options where you need them

--------------------------------------------------------------

Word now has specialized toolbars that you can use for tasks that

range from applying formatting to adding line drawings.

You can display or hide toolbars individually, and you can move them

around on the screen so that they're accessible, yet out of the way as

you work. You can also add, remove, and rearrange toolbar buttons. You

can even create custom buttons (and create graphics for them) to run

macros, apply formatting, or carry out commands that you use often.

Use ToolTips or Balloon Help to find out about toolbar buttons

--------------------------------------------------------------

When you point to a toolbar button and pause, Word shows you the name

of the button. You can use Balloon Help(TM) to display more detailed

descriptions of the toolbar buttons.

Shortcut menus and an improved status bar help you work quickly

---------------------------------------------------------------

You can now carry out many common commands by using shortcut menus.

For example, if you are working in a table, press COMMAND+OPTION+click

to see a menu of frequently used commands such as Insert Rows and

Delete Rows. You don't have to move the mouse pointer up to the menu

bar or search a long menu for a particular command.

Click buttons on the horizontal scroll bar to change views quickly.

Click indicators in the status bar to switch between insert and

overtype modes.

Full screen view maximizes the text area on your screen

-------------------------------------------------------

Full screen view quickly hides toolbars, rulers, scroll bars, and

other screen items so that you can see more of a document as you work.

To restore the previous screen arrangement, click the Full Screen

button that remains at the bottom of the screen.

CUSTOMIZE WORD WITH NEW OPTIONS

===============================

Word is one of the most flexible word-processing applications. You can

add or delete commands from menus, create new menus, assign key

combinations of your choice, and customize the appearance of the Word

screen.

Drag buttons to customize toolbars

----------------------------------

You can customize the built-in toolbars by adding, deleting, or moving

buttons. To move a button between toolbars, hold down the COMMAND key

and drag the button to the new location. To remove a button, just hold

down the COMMAND key and drag the button off the toolbar. You can also

use the Customize command on the Tools menu to add, delete, or move

buttons.

You can use the Customize command to create toolbar buttons or to make

custom toolbars from "scratch." You can also use the Customize command

to modify the contents of menus and create new shortcut keys.

Make Word work the way you work

-------------------------------

You can use the Options command on the Tools menu to change default

directories or folders for documents and templates, modify the

appearance of the Word screen, and set other options to suit the way

you work.

WORKGROUP FEATURES

==================

Word now includes more features to help you create, distribute, and

produce documents in a workgroup.

Master documents organize large, complex documents

--------------------------------------------------

To manage a long document that includes many files, create a master

document.

With the Master Document toolbar, which is displayed when you choose

Master Document from the View menu, you can add, delete, reorganize,

merge, split, and lock subdocuments. Using a master document also

simplifies creation of cross-references, an index, a table of

contents, or tables of figures or authorities for long documents.

Send documents to reviewers with the Add Routing Slip command

-------------------------------------------------------------

If you have Microsoft Mail or a compatible mail package, you can send

copies of a document to reviewers. You can send a document to several

reviewers simultaneously or route a single copy from one reviewer to

another in the sequence that you specify.

New annotation features speed up reviews

----------------------------------------

You can now mark text for annotations. Selected items are highlighted,

so instead of typing a long annotation like "Delete the second

sentence in this paragraph," you can just type "Delete." When you

consider comments from others, you can view all annotations at once or

only those from a single reviewer.

Revision tracking shows you who did what when

---------------------------------------------

Revision marking now shows you who made a change and when the change

was entered. Including the date and time can help you determine if a

comment is still relevant or if it has been superseded by new

information. You can display or hide revision marks as you edit a

document and select the color and character formatting used to mark

changes.

Create forms to fill in on-screen

---------------------------------

The new Forms toolbar makes it easy to create a complex form with text

fields, check boxes, and drop-down lists. You can even provide

customized help text for each part of a form.

GETTING HELP AND LEARNING WORD

==============================

Use online Help to answer your questions

----------------------------------------

The online Help available as you work with Word is more accessible and

useful than ever before. Whenever you have a question, just double-

click the Help button on the Standard toolbar.

A booklike index helps you get to specific information quickly.

Examples and demos briefly introduce and explain features.

NOTE: The Examples And Demos and Quick Preview commands are available

in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh only if you choose the complete

installation option, or if you choose the custom installation option,

select Online Help, and then select Examples And Demos. You must have

Word Help installed for these features to work correctly.

  You can now navigate more easily through topics by using buttons at

  the top of the Word Help window.

"Tip of the Day" makes you an expert one step at a time

-------------------------------------------------------

Each time you start Word, you'll see a tip about how to use Word more

effectively. Tips tell you about useful shortcuts, suggest new ways to

use familiar features, and introduce you to some of the new

capabilities in Word.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Q. What are the shortcut keys I can use to manipulate toolbars and

       toolbar buttons?

    A. To move a toolbar button to a new location on the toolbar or to

       a different toolbar, hold down the COMMAND key and drag the

       toolbar button to the new location.

       To copy a toolbar button to a new location on the toolbar or to

       a different toolbar, hold down the OPTION key and drag the

       toolbar button to the new location.

       To hide or display a toolbar in Word, hold down the CONTROL key

       while you click once on any toolbar button. From the menu that

       appears, choose the toolbar you want to hide or display.

       To remove a button from a toolbar, hold down the COMMAND key

       while you drag the button off the toolbar. This operation is

       similar to dragging a tab off the ruler to remove it.

2. Q. I know that I need to display a toolbar to customize it, but

       when I choose Toolbars from the View menu, sometimes the toolbar

       is missing from the Toolbars list. How can I display a toolbar

       if it doesn't appear in the View Toolbars dialog box?

    A. Word displays some toolbars only when you use certain features.

       For example, when you switch to outline view, Word displays the

       Outlining toolbar. When you are not in outline view, you cannot

       display the Outlining toolbar, so Word does not include it in

       the View Toolbars dialog box. To modify a view-dependent

       toolbar, switch to a view that displays the toolbar, then

       choose Customize from the Tools menu. For example, to modify

       the Header And Footer toolbar, switch to Header And Footer

       view, then choose Customize from the Tools menu.

3. Q. How do I insert a tab character in a text form field?

    A. Press CONTROL+TAB or OPTION+TAB.

4. Q. How can I use the data from my online form as a mail merge data

       source?

    A. After you fill in your online form in Word, save only the

       online form data, then use that file as a mail merge data

       source or append it to an existing data file. Use the following

       three steps to save online form data only:

       1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

       2. Select the Save tab.

       3. Select the Save Data Only For Forms option (make sure an X

          appears in the box next to the option), and then choose OK.

          NOTE: When you save the online form, Word prompts you for a

          new filename and suggests the current name of the form with a

          .TXT filename extension. Word saves the data in a comma-

          delimited, text-only file and places the contents of each

          form field in quotation marks.

5. Q. I want to use my online form both as an online form and as a mail

       merge main document. When I perform the mail merge operation,

       Word for the Macintosh beeps and nothing happens. Why?

    A. You cannot use a protected online form as the main document in

       a mail merge operation. When the main document is protected,

       Word disables the Mail Merge command whenever the protected

       document is the active document. This is true even if your

       online form contains unprotected sections. Unless you unprotect

       your online form, you cannot use it as a mail merge main

       document. As a workaround, you can replace the FORM fields with

       FILLIN or ASK fields.

6. Q. I've made changes in my document, but Word hasn't updated the

       table of contents or index in my document. What's wrong?

    A. Both the table of contents and the index are fields in your

       Word document. You must update the field to show the current

       results. To do this, click anywhere in the table of contents or

       index and then press F9. For a table of contents, Word displays

       the Update Table Of Contents dialog box; to update only the

       page numbers and retain any direct formatting you applied to

       the table of contents, select the Update Page Numbers Only

       option. To completely recompile the table of contents, select

       the Update Entire Table option.

7. Q. How do I include the total number of pages in my document page

       numbering? For example, I want the page number to read "Page 1

       of 20", where 20 is the total number of pages in the document.

    A. To include the total number of pages when you number the pages

       in your document, insert a NUMPAGES field using the following

       procedure:

       1. From the View menu, choose Header And Footer.

       2. Position the insertion point where you would like the

          current page number to print.

       3. Type "page" (without quotation marks) and then press the

          SPACEBAR.

       4. Choose the Page Numbers button on the Header and Footer

          toolbar to insert the current page number.

       5. Press the SPACEBAR, type "of" (without quotation marks), and

          then press the SPACEBAR again.

       6. From the Insert menu, choose Field.

       7. From the Field Names list, select NumPages, and then choose

          OK. The page numbering in your document should appear

          similar to the following example

             Page 1 of 10

          where 10 is the total number of pages in your document.

          NOTE: As you modify your document, Word adjusts this number

          so it always reflects the current number of pages in your

          document. Because NUMPAGES is a field, Word may not update

          its results until you switch to page layout view or print

          preview, or until you select the field and press F9 to update

          its results.

       For more information about working with fields, refer to

       Chapter 32, "Inserting Information with Fields" in the

       "Microsoft Word User's Guide." For online Help, double-click

       the Help button on the Standard toolbar and then type "field

       codes" (without quotation marks).

8. Q. Sometimes I change my toolbars, macros, Word commands, or

       AutoText entries, but when I start a new document, all of my

       changes are gone. How can I make these changes show up in all

       my documents?

    A. You stored these modifications in a document template instead

       of in the Normal Document Template. This means your modified

       toolbars, macros, Word commands, and AutoText entries are

       available only when you work in a document based on the

       template in which you stored the modifications. If you want the

       modifications you make to toolbars, macros, AutoText entries,

       or Word commands to be available to all your documents, either

       make these modifications in the Normal Document Template, or

       load the modified document template as a global template. To

       load a template as a global template, use the Templates command

       on the File menu.

       To move macros, AutoText entries, or customized Word commands

       from one template to another, use the Organizer. To open the

       Organizer, choose AutoText from the Edit menu, choose Style

       from the Format menu, or choose Macro from the Tools menu, and

       then choose the Organizer button.

9. Q. I made a template that I want to use every time I create a new

       Word document. How do I do that?

    A. Use the Templates command on the File menu to load the template

       as a global template. You can then use this template's macros,

       AutoText entries, toolbars, and customized Word commands--as

       well as the items stored in the Normal Document Template--in

       all your documents. Word does not, however, add the styles from

       a global template to your documents. If you want to make the

       styles from a template available to all your new documents, you

       need to move those styles to your Normal Document Template. You

       can use the Organizer to move styles from one template to

       another. To open the Organizer, choose Style from the Format

       menu and then choose the Organizer button.

Null String as First Element of Array Displays Empty List Box

Article ID: Q119416

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A list box will not display the array if the first element of the array

contains a null string.

For example, the following macro will display an empty list box:

Sub Main

Dim xyz$(3)

For x = 0 to 3

     xyz$(x) = str$(x)

next x

REM Set the first element to a null string

xyz$(0) = ""

Begin Dialog UserDialog 320, 180, "Microsoft Word"

     OKButton 6, 8, 65, 20

     ListBox 6, 39, 167, 123, xyz$(), .ListBox1

End Dialog

Dim xzydialog as UserDialog

Dialog xyzdialog

End Sub

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Change the first element to contain one of the items from the array.

Duplicate Shortcut Keys on Menus Don't Execute Command

Article ID: Q119417

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When a Word 6.0 menu contains two or more commands that use the same

shortcut key, the first command that contains this shortcut assignment is

highlighted, but the command is not executed. Pressing the shortcut key

again moves you to the next command. If you press RETURN or ENTER when the

command is highlighted, the command will be executed.

CAUSE

=====

When multiple menu items are defined using the same shortcut key, Word will

not be able to recognize which command you want to execute, so it will

highlight the first occurrence.

RESOLUTION

==========

Redefine the menu items so that each menu item has a unique shortcut key

assignment. To reassign a shortcut key:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Customize.

2. Select the Menus tab.

3. Under Categories, select the menu you need to modify.

4. From the Commands list, select the menu item.

5. In the Name On Menu box, change the name so that the ampersand precedes

   a different character.

6. Choose the Rename button. Choose the Close button.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In Word for the Macintosh, you can select MenuMode by pressing COMMAND+TAB

or F10. This modifies the menus temporarily so that an underscore appears

beneath a letter. When in this mode, the underlined letter is identified as

the shortcut key. Pressing this letter on the keyboard highlights the

command when two or more commands are assigned the same shortcut key. If

only one command on the menu has the shortcut assignment, the command will

be executed when the letter is pressed.

Field Text Is Not Readable on Monochrome Display

Article ID: Q119418

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Field text is not readable on your monochrome display.

CAUSE

=====

You have the Field Shading option set to Always or When Selected. (To

locate the Field Shading option, from the Tools menu, choose Options, and

select the View tab.)

On monochrome displays, field shading and text appear as the same color. By

design, on monochrome systems, Word installs with the Field Shading option

turned off.

RESOLUTION

==========

Turn Field Shading off. To do this, from the Tools menu, choose Options. On

the View tab, set Field Shading to Never and choose the OK button.

MORE INFORMATION

================

For easy identification of fields, Word 6.0 allows you to set Field Shading

to one of three modes: Never, When Selected, or Always.

Printing Many Files from Desktop Generates Many Print Dialogs

Article ID: Q119420

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print multiple documents from the Macintosh desktop, each document

opens and the Print dialog box appears for each document you are printing.

CAUSE

=====

By design, some printing settings do not remain constant from one document

to another. Therefore, when printing multiple documents from the desktop,

you will be prompted to choose OK or Cancel for each print job.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use the Find File command to select and print multiple files by doing the

following:

1. Perform a search for your files.

2. From the Search Results Listed Files, select the files you want to print

   by holding down the COMMAND key and clicking each file.

3. From the Commands list, choose Print.

4. Choose the Print button to print the documents.

The drawback to this method is that the print settings are set for each

document.

System 7 Identifies Documents & Templates As Word 6 Documents

Article ID: Q119421

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use the Finder to Get Info on a Word document or template, both

documents and templates are identified as "Word 6 Documents." In addition,

when you view the contents of your folders, if you are listing the files by

Kind, both templates and documents are identified as "Word 6 Documents."

CAUSE

=====

By design, System 7 identifies both Word 6.0 documents and templates as

"Word 6 Documents."

System 7.5 (Easy Open) correctly identifies Word 6.0 documents as documents

and Word 6.0 templates as templates.

Header and Footer Change Affects Previous Sections

Article ID: Q119462

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When your document contains multiple sections and you create a header or

footer in a subsequent section, Word automatically replaces any previous

header or footer in addition to affecting subsequent sections.

This functionality is different than previous versions of Word for the

Macintosh, where adding a header or footer to a subsequent section

automatically disconnected it from the previous section.

CAUSE

=====

All headers and footers are connected, so a change in one is reflected in

all others. This behavior is by design in Word 6.0.

RESOLUTION

==========

To create a header or footer that does not replace previous headers or

footers, do the following:

1. Position the insertion point in the section you want to change.

2. From the View menu, choose Header And Footer.

3. Choose the Same As Previous button on the Header And Footer Toolbar to

   deactivate this setting. Note: This option disconnects the section from

   previous sections but does not disconnect it from subsequent sections.

WordBasic Declare Statement Case Sensitive in Word for Win NT

Article ID: Q119509

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The function name you include in a Declare statement in the Word for

Windows NT WordBasic macro language is case sensitive.

For example, the following sample Declare statement is not valid:

   Declare Function getwindowsdirectorya Lib "KERNEL32"

        (lpszPath As String, nBufferSize As Long) As Long

However, if you use the correct combination of uppercase and lowercase

letters in the function name, the same statement is valid:

   Declare Function GetWindowsDirectoryA Lib "KERNEL32"

        (lpszPath As String, nBufferSize As Long) As Long

CAUSE

=====

When you access named functions in 32-bit .DLL files, Windows NT requires

the calling application to provide the exact name of the function,

including proper case, before the function can be called. Because Word for

Windows NT is a 32-bit application, it is required to adhere to this

requirement, including the WordBasic Declare command.

NOTE: The .DLL filename in the Declare command is NOT case sensitive.

NTWord: FixDrawShowThru, FixWhiteText Disable Print Fonts

Article ID: Q119510

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows NT, the FixDrawShowThru and FixWhiteText registry

settings may disable built-in printer fonts and print text as graphics.

CAUSE

=====

For certain printers, the FixDrawShowThru and FixWhiteText settings

configure the printer driver to print TrueType fonts as graphics (bitmap

images) when a drawing layer object intersects text on the page or when

white text appears on a black background. However, these settings also

print text formatted for a printer font as a graphic image because the

built-in printer fonts on these printers typically cannot place an opaque

graphic over text.

When this happens, Word for Windows NT substitutes a TrueType font for the

built-in printer font and then prints the TrueType font as a graphic. For

example, a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet III prints Times New Roman (a

TrueType font) as a graphic instead of using CG Times (a built-in printer

font).

Under Windows NT, the Print TrueType Fonts As Graphics option becomes Print

Text As Graphics, so Windows NT disables built-in printer fonts as well as

TrueType fonts. In other words, this option under Windows NT prints all

fonts as graphics, not just TrueType fonts.

NOTE: These settings do not affect vector fonts (such as Modern, Roman, and

Script), which always print as graphic images.

MORE INFORMATION

================

FixDrawShowThru is a registry setting that Word for Windows NT uses to work

around a limitation of many printers in which solid graphics cannot obscure

text beneath them, especially in cases where the graphic only partially

obscures the text.

Word for Windows NT uses the FixWhiteText setting to work around the

limitation of printers that cannot print white text on a black background.

The FixDrawShowThru and FixWhiteText registry values are stored in the

following location

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Word\6.0\<printer name>

where <printer name> is the full name of the printer in use. You can find

this name in Windows NT Print Manager.

For more information about these settings, please see the following

Cannot Print Multiple Documents to HP DeskJet Using Find File

Article ID: Q119511

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you print several documents at once using the Find File command on the

File menu in Word for Windows to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskJet 520, 550,

or 560 printer (DESKJETC.DRV version 4.0 or 4.1), you will receive the

following error messages if the Background Printing option is selected:

   Printer is busy - cannot print. Try again when the printer is free.

   Windows needs more disk space to print this document.

   Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup.

This problem has also been reported with the Cannon BJ-200e.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

The HP products included here are manufactured by vendors independent of

Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these

products' performance or reliability.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use the following procedure to disable background printing in Word:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2. Select the Print tab.

3. Clear the Background Printing option and then choose OK.

Your documents should now print correctly from the Find File dialog box.

"Unable to Find STF File in WIN.INI" Running Word 6.0a Patch

Article ID: Q119512

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following error message may occur when you run the Word 6.0a for

Windows upgrade patch (UPGRADE.EXE):

   Unable to Find the STF in the Win.Ini

CAUSE

=====

The patch setup looks for one of two entries in the [MS Setup (ACME) Table

Files] section of the WIN.INI file:

   WINWORD.EXE@v6.0.0.2226(1033)=C:\WINWORD\SETUP\SETUP.STF

   or

   MSOFFICE.EXE@v1.0.0.0000(1033)=C:\MSOFFICE\SETUP\SETUP.STF

If neither of these two lines exist, or if they are not specified exactly

as above, the error message will occur.

There are four common scenarios where this may occur:

 1. You have already upgraded your Word 6.0 installation to Word 6.0a or

    6.0c. In other words, Word 6.0a or 6.0c is already installed on your

    computer, so you do not need to run UPGRADE.EXE. If you have already

    upgraded to Word 6.0a the line will read:

       WINWORD.EXE@v6.0.0.2513(1033)=C:\WINWORD\SETUP\SETUP.STF

    The Word 6.0c will read:

       WINWORD.EXE@v6.0.0.3015(1033)=C:\WINWORD\SETUP\SETUP.STF

    NOTE: The retail version of Microsoft Office 4.2 for Windows installs

    Word 6.0a. If you have Office 4.2, you have already installed Word

    6.0a, so you do not need to run the UPGRADE.EXE patch on your system.

 2. If you have installed the Canadian version of US/English Word 6.0 for

    Windows. In this case, the following line may appear in the [MS Setup

    (ACME) Table Files] section of the WIN.INI:

        WINWORD.EXE@v6.0.0.2226(1033A)=C:\WINWORD\SETUP\SETUP.STF

    This line is nearly identical to the correct line. The only difference

    is the addition of the "A" in the (1033) identifier. The US Word 6.0a

    patch is completely compatible with the Canadian English version of

    Word 6.0 for Windows, so temporarily removing the "A" from this line,

    running the patch, then reinserting the "A" after completing the

    upgrade is acceptable.

 3. The above Word 6.0a for Windows patch error may occur if you have

    Microsoft Office version 4.2 for Windows on your computer if you

    installed it in the following specific sequence:

    a. You installed the full retail Office 4.0 package--not the Office 4.0

       upgrade package.

    b. You installed the Office 4.2 upgrade--not the full retail Office 4.2

       package.

    c. Then you tried to upgrade to Word 6.0a for Windows using the

       Word 6.0a patch.

  4. You have an installed verison of Word 6.0c and you attempted to

     install the Word 6.0a patch.

    Refer to Q113483 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for more information

    about this specific case.

WORKAROUND

==========

 1. If you have already installed Word 6.0a for Windows on your system

    there is no need to run the UPGRADE.EXE patch.

 2. If you have the Canadian version installed simply temporarily remove

    the "A" from the following line in the [MS Setup (ACME) Table Files] in

    the WIN.INI (always backup WIN.INI before making any modifications to

    it):

    WINWORD.EXE@v6.0.0.2226(1033A)=C:\WINWORD\SETUP\SETUP.STF

    so that it looks like this:

    WINWORD.EXE@v6.0.0.2226(1033)=C:\WINWORD\SETUP\SETUP.STF

    Run the UPGRADE.EXE patch. After upgrading to Word 6.0a, reopen the

    WIN.INI file, replace the "A" in the above line, then save and close

    the WIN.INI file.

 3. If you upgraded to Microsoft Office 4.2 by following the steps listed

    above under CAUSE you must do the following in order to run the Word

    6.0a patch:

    1. Rename the SETUP.STF file installed by the Office 4.2 upgrade (for

       example, rename the file to SETUP.OLD).

    2. Reinstall Office 4.0, but choose to only install Word 6.0. You do

       not need to reinstall Microsoft Excel or PowerPoint if you have

       already upgraded to Microsoft Excel 5.0 and PowerPoint 4.0. This

       restores the SETUP.STF file that contains Word 6.0 information.

    3. Run the Word 6.0a patch again.

    4. Upgrade to Office 4.2.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In some cases it may be necessary to reinstall Word 6.0 for Windows then

rerun UPGRADE.EXE.

To determine what version of Word is installed, choose About Microsoft Word

from the Help menu of Word for Windows.

Errors in Cross References in Master Documents or Subdocuments

Article ID: Q119514

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you update fields in a master document that contains cross-references,

the following error messages may occur in place of the cross-reference:

   Error! Reference source not found.

   Error! Bookmark not defined.

CAUSE

=====

If you delete the cross-reference source or remove the subdocument that

contains it, Word for Windows can no longer locate the source, so Word

displays the above error messages instead.

A cross-reference consists of a REF field that points to a special,

internal bookmark at the cross-reference source. As a result, the errors

that occur refer to REF field or bookmark problems.

For more information about the special bookmarks Word uses for cross-

references, indexes, and tables of contents, please see the following

articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   ARTICLE-ID: Q108455

   TITLE     : Table of Contents Entries, Cross-References, & Captions

               Marked

   ARTICLE-ID: Q112542

   TITLE     : Text Added to End of Line Not Included in Cross-Reference

MORE INFORMATION

================

In a master document, you can create cross-references between the master

document and a subdocument or between two subdocuments. If you insert,

merge, move, split, or create a subdocument that contains a cross-

reference, Word maintains the cross-reference as long as the REF field and

cross-reference bookmark remain intact.

File I/O Problems After Installing Video 1.1 for Windows

Article ID: Q119619

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you run Word for Windows after you install Microsoft Video 1.1 for

Windows on your computer, various file I/O (input/output) problems may

occur in Word, including the following error messages:

 - The disk is full or too many files are open.

 - Cannot Read from Drive C

 - Error: Cannot Save or Create File. Make sure the disk

   is not full or write protected.

CAUSE

=====

Video 1.1 installs some shared OLE .DLL files, especially STORAGE.DLL, that

conflict with file I/O in Word.

IMPORTANT: Before you conclude that Video 1.1 is causing your file I/O

problems, be sure you first use standard troubleshooting methods to rule

out other causes (for example, make sure your SHARE.EXE, VSHARE.386, and

IFSHLP.SYS files are correctly installed, configured, and running).

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Video version 1.1 for

Windows. This problem was corrected in version 1.1a of Video for Windows.

Power Macintosh Hangs When Using Word's Examples and Demos

Article ID: Q119622

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

While running Examples and Demos on an Apple Power Macintosh, Word hangs

(stops responding).

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs because HyperCard version 2.2, which ships with the

Power Macintosh, gets into a low memory condition, causing it to hang.

(Examples and Demos is a HyperCard stack. When Examples and Demos is run,

HyperCard is started, and it opens the Examples and Demos stack.)

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To avoid having your machine hang when you access Word's Examples and

Demos, allocate more memory to HyperCard by doing the following:

1. In the Finder, click once on the HyperCard Player program icon.

2. From the File menu, choose Get Info. Set Preferred size to 1500 if

   memory is limited and you are using CBT from within Word or 2000 if

   memory is available and you are using CBT as a stand-alone application.

3. Choose the Close button in the top-left corner of HyperCard Player Info.

Changing the Memo Wizard Document Formatting

Article ID: Q119628

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows version 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 provides a Memo Wizard for the creation of a Memo. The wizard does

not prompt you to modify character formatting such as font, point size, and

so forth. This article describes how you can use the Memo Wizard to create

your own custom wizard.

NOTE: Microsoft does not support the modification of its wizards or

templates. Modifications done by the user are at the user's risk and

constitute no obligations or warranties, either written or expressed, by

Microsoft.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Memo Wizard uses three style templates to format the document it

creates. The wizard primarily uses a limited number of the styles found in

each template. By modifying these styles, you can change any character

attributes when you create a memo. Use the following steps to accomplish

this:

1. From the File menu, choose Open. Select the directory where your

   templates are stored--usually, C:\WINWORD\TEMPLATE. From the List Files

   Of Type list, select Document Templates (*.dot). From the File Name

   list, select one of the following templates, depending on which memo

   style you want to use. Choose the OK button.

      Memo Wizard Style       Style Template

      -----------------       --------------

      Classic                 MEMO1.DOT

      Contemporary            MEMO2.DOT

      Typewriter              MEMO3.DOT

2. From the File menu, choose Save As and type a new name for the template.

   Any formatting changes you make will now be stored in your new template.

3. The following styles are used in the template:

      Style Name                    Where Used

      ----------                    ----------

      Document Label                Memorandum text

      Message Header First          Date line

      Message Header                To, From, and Re lines

      Message Header Last           CC line

      Body Text                     Body of the memo

   To modify one of the above listed styles, choose Style from the Format

   menu. From the List box, choose All Styles. From the Styles list, select

   the style you want to modify, and choose the Modify button.

4. From the Modify Style dialog box, select the Add To Template check box.

   Choose the Format button and from the list that appears, select any of

   the formatting options you want to modify. Choose the OK button to

   return to the Modify Style dialog box. Choose the OK button.

5. Repeat steps 3-4 for each additional style you want to modify.

6. Choose the Close button.

7. Save the template.

The next time you use the Memo Wizard you can select the Memo Style

corresponding to the modified template.

Templates Created on Workstation Lose Macros and Buttons

Article ID: Q119629

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When a custom template is copied from a workstation to a shared directory

on a server, the macros and buttons created for that custom template are

not available to other network users.

CAUSE

=====

The custom template was first created as a document based on the Normal

template located on a workstation and later saved as a template. As a

result, all macros and buttons that were created in this template are

stored globally in the Normal template on the originating workstation.

When the template is moved to a shared directory, the macros and buttons

are not retained as part of the new template. When another user on another

workstation creates a document based on this template, the original Normal

template is not available, and hence none of the macros or buttons are

available. This behavior is by design.

RESOLUTION

==========

Method 1: Create the template as a template initially rather than as a

          document. To do this, choose New from the File menu, select the

          Normal template, choose the Template option, and then choose the

          OK button. All macros and toolbar buttons will be stored in your

          new template and will move with the template when you copy it to

          the server.

Method 2: If a user has already created a custom template and that template

          was based on his or her Normal template, rename the NORMAL.DOT on

          each workstation, then copy the Normal template from the

          workstation where the template was originally created. If there

          are too many workstations, each user can rename his or her

          NORMAL.DOT and download the correct one across the network.

"Word Cannot Obtain Data" When Updating DDE Links

Article ID: Q119630

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you attempt to update approximately 126 DDE links at one time, Word

generates the following error message

   Word cannot obtain data from <object> for <filename>

where <object> refers to the source of the link, such as a Microsoft Excel

worksheet object, and <filename> refers to the source file.

The error will occur if your document contains approximately 126 different

DDE links that were created with the DDE field code and you do one of the

following:

 - Select the "Update Automatic Links at Open" option. (To locate this

   option, choose Options from the Tools Menu, and select the General tab.)

 - Highlight 126 or more DDE links, and press F9 (to update fields).

 - Highlight 126 or more DDE links, choose Links from the Edit menu, and

   then choose the Update button.

In some cases, after the above error is generated, you may not be able to

update the remaining links, either individually or as a group, without

first closing and then reopening the source file.

Changing the DDETIMEOUT= setting in the WINWORD6.INI does not affect

this limitation.

CAUSE

=====

This limitation stems from an index that is limited to 128 DDE links. This

behavior is by design.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Turn "Update Automatic Links at Open" off, and update fewer than

          126 DDE links at one time.

Method 2: Use the LINK field in place of the DDE field.

Bookmark in Text Box Produces GP Fault in Header or Footer

Article ID: Q119697

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When your header or footer contains a bookmark in a text box, you may

receive the following error message:

   Winword caused a General Protection Fault in

   Module Winword.exe at 00DE:44B7

The fault occurs after you perform a full save, when you try to edit the

bookmark, or when you use the GoTo command and choose the bookmark name

used in the header or footer.

CAUSE

=====

After a full save or autosave, the bookmark is stripped from the text box

and no reference to it can be made. If you try to reinsert the bookmark, or

reference or edit the bookmark, you will receive a general protection (GP)

fault in WINWORD.EXE.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Insert the bookmark into a frame instead of using the text box.

Form Fields Lose Text When Protected for Forms

Article ID: Q119698

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system, version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes two methods that allow you to retain information you

type into a form field when you protect the form.

MORE INFORMATION

================

WARNING:  ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR

OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of

any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the

implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular

purpose.

Method 1

--------

The following macro protects your form without causing you to lose text you

enter into a form field. If you name the macro "ToolsProtectDocument," it

will replace Word's built-in command of the same name. The macro can be

stored in the actual form template, so that you can manually unprotect and

protect the form while preserving the form field contents.

Sub MAIN

 Dim Dlg As ToolsProtectDocument

 Dlg.NoReset = 1

 n = Dialog(dlg)

 If n = - 1 Then ToolsProtectDocument Dlg

End Sub

Otherwise, you can also create a macro with the following instruction:

 ToolsProtectDocument .Type = 2, .NoReset = 1

This macro instruction protects a document for forms without resetting

the contents of the form fields. Create a macro with the above

ToolsProtectDocument statement and assign the macro to a key, menu or

toolbar button for easy access.

Method 2

--------

This macro allows you to temporarily unprotect the form, perform a spell

check of the document, and reprotect the form while preserving the text

you've typed into the form fields. You can use this macro as an On Exit

macro for the last form field so that you can check the spelling before you

save the form.

Sub MAIN

  DisableInput             ' Prevents cancellation of the macro

  ToolsUnprotectDocument   ' Unprotects the form

  StartOfDocument          ' Moves insertion point to top of document

  ToolsSpelling            ' Starts Spell Checker

  ' Reprotect the document for forms without resetting fields:

  ToolsProtectDocument .NoReset = 1, .Type = 2

End Sub

Macro to Determine If a Document Has Been Saved

Article ID: Q119741

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When writing Word for Windows macros, you may need to know whether or not

the current document has been saved. The FileNameFromWindow$() function

returns an empty string if the document hasn't been saved in Word 6.0

for Windows.

Word 6.0

========

Sub MAIN

If FileNameFromWindow$() = "" Then MsgBox "Document is not saved"

End Sub

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

The following Word 2.0 macro determines if the current document has been

saved by checking the filename in the DocumentStatistics dialog box.

Word 2.0

========

Sub MAIN

Dim dlg As DocumentStatistics

GetCurValues dlg

file$ = dlg.FileName

If Left$(file$, 8) = "Document" Then MsgBox "Document is not saved"

End Sub

The above macro example dimensions the DocumentStatistics dialog box and

then retrieves the filename (file$ = dlg.FileName). If the first eight

letters are "Document", a message box appears indicating that the document

has not been saved.

Default Document Location Not Retained

Article ID: Q119745

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you open the File Open dialog box, a directory other than the default

directory may be active. This behavior occurs even though you have defined

a path for Word documents using the Documents setting in the File Locations

Options dialog box. (To locate this setting, choose Options from the Tools

menu and select the File Locations tab.)

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs on a Novell workstation where the default document path

has been set to a mapped drive. In this case, Word resets the document path

to the first drive that is able to map to the same network location. For

example, if you have the following map statement in your Novell login

script

   map f:=pompeii/sys:

   map h: = pompeii/sys:user\fred\docs

and you set H: as your default document path (in the File Locations Options

dialog box), the File Open default drive may revert to F:\user\fred\docs.

Note: The Drive does not have to be a mapped root drive.

This behavior is by design.

RESOLUTION

==========

Add the following statement to the [Microsoft Word] section of the

WINWORD6.INI file:

   NoLongNetNames=yes

This statement disables universal naming convention (UNC) support.

though you choose to include page numbers when running the wizard.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Letter Wizard Retains Large Top Margin on Subsequent Pages

Article ID: Q119747

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you select the letterhead option when running the Letter Wizard and

create a letter that exceeds one page, the second and subsequent pages will

retain the large (2-inch) top margin.

CAUSE

=====

The Wizard uses one of three templates when creating a letter. Each

template is defined so that the top margin is set for the entire document.

This behavior is by design.

WORKAROUND

==========

After you complete your letter, you can modify the top margin for the

second and subsequent pages by doing the following:

1. While in Normal View, locate the page break. This appears as a single

   dotted line across the screen. Position your insertion point immediately

   above this page break. Ensure the insertion point is at the end of a

   paragraph or on a blank line at the end of the first page.

2. From the Insert menu, choose Break. Under Section Breaks, select Next

   Page. Choose the OK button.

   This inserts a double-dotted line with the words "End of Section" above

   or in place of the original page break. If the page break is one that

   Word inserted automatically (a "soft" page break), the page break will

   disappear. If the page break was manually inserted (a "hard" page

   break), select the page break and delete it.

3. Place the Insertion Point below the section break, on page 2 of the

   letter, and choose Page Setup from the File menu.

4. Select the Margins tab. Modify the Top Margin setting. In the Apply To

   box, select either "This point forward" or "This section," and then

   choose the OK button.

How to Apply Shading to Words Instead of Paragraphs

Article ID: Q119749

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article tells how to apply shading to one or more words within a

paragraph.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In Word, shading is a paragraph format, not a character format. You cannot

apply shading to a word by choosing Borders And Shading from the Format

menu without affecting the entire paragraph, nor can you create a character

style to apply the shading. Instead, you can use one of the following

methods to apply shading to one or more words.

Method 1

--------

Use a text box to display shaded words. To do this:

1. On the Standard toolbar, choose the Drawing button to display the

   Drawing toolbar.

2. On the Drawing toolbar, choose the Text Box button. The pointer changes

   to a cross hair.

3. Position the cross hair where you want the upper-left corner of the text

   box to begin.

4. Hold down the left mouse button and drag downward and to the right to

   draw a rectangle of the desired size. Release the mouse button.

5. Type your text in the text box.

6. Resize the text box to the appropriate size.

7. Remove any Line Color applied to the text box by choosing the Line Color

   Button and choosing None.

8. Apply a Fill Color to the text box. To do this, choose the Fill Color

   Button and select a shade of gray or another color.

9. Reposition the text box where you want the shaded text to appear. To

   precisely position the text box, you can "nudge" it into place using the

   up and down arrow keys when the text box is selected. (Note: The text

   box is selected when it appears with a solid gray border and sizing

   handles.) You can adjust the amount of space the text box is nudged by

   choosing the Snap To Grid button and changing the settings.

Method 2

--------

This alternative pastes an object into your document.

1. Highlight the text you want to shade, and choose Cut from the Edit menu.

2. Position the insertion point in an empty paragraph. Choose Paste from

   the Edit menu.

3. From the Format menu, choose Borders And Shading. Select the Shading

   tab. From the Shading box, select the desired percentage of shading.

4. Select the text (including the paragraph mark) and choose Cut from the

   Edit menu.

5. Position your insertion point where you want to place the object, then

   choose Paste Special from the Edit menu. Select Picture and choose the

   OK button.

6. Select the shaded text, then hold down the SHIFT key and drag the

   sizing handles to crop the extra white space and shading.

7. With the shaded text selected, choose Font from the Format menu, select

   the Character Spacing tab, select Lowered from the Position list, and

   choose the OK button. (Note: Word will suggest a setting of 3 points,

   which will work fine in most cases. Adjust this setting to obtain the

   best results.)

File Send Command Unavailable Using Lotus Notes Mail

Article ID: Q119785

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Send and Add Routing Slip commands on the File menu in Word for Windows

may be unavailable (dimmed) when you are using Lotus Notes 3.0 or 3.1 mail,

even if Lotus Notes mail is working correctly and you chose to use Lotus

Notes mail during Word Setup.

CAUSE

=====

When Lotus Notes is running correctly, either or both of the following

settings may be incorrect, which makes the Send and Add Routing Slip

commands on the File menu unavailable in Word:

1. The Lotus Notes program directory is not part of the PATH statement

   in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

2. The MAPIVIM.DLL file is not located in your <WINDOWS>\SYSTEM

   subdirectory (where <WINDOWS> is your Windows program directory), and

   the following line is missing from the [Mail] section of your WIN.INI

   file:

      MAPIDLL=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MAPIVIM.DLL

WORKAROUND

==========

1. Add the Lotus Notes program directory to the PATH statement in your

   AUTOEXEC.BAT file. For example, if your Lotus Notes program directory is

   C:\NOTES, you might change the PATH statement to the following:

      PATH C:\WINDOWS;C:\DOS;C:\NOTES

2. Place the MAPIVIM.DLL file in your <WINDOWS>\SYSTEM subdirectory, and

   add the following line to the [Mail] section of your WIN.INI file:

      MAPIDLL=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MAPIVIM.DLL

Note: The above workaround resolves the problem only if Lotus Notes already

runs correctly. If Lotus Notes does not run correctly, the above workaround

may not resolve your problem with Word until you resolve any problems

preventing Lotus Notes from running.

Errors Importing Word for Windows Document into Lotus Notes

Article ID: Q119786

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you import a Word for Windows document into a Lotus Notes document or

form, one or both of the following error messages may occur:

   Unknown OS Error.

   Insufficient Memory to Load the Executable Program Library.

CAUSE

=====

These errors may occur if any of your Lotus Notes settings are incorrect or

if any of the necessary files is missing or damaged. Specifically, two

files, _MSIMP.DLL and MSWORD6.CNV, and their associated NOTES.INI file

settings must be correct or you may have problems importing Word documents

in Lotus Notes. (Lotus Notes imports Word documents in rich text format

[RTF].)

Note: Word Setup installs _MSIMP.DLL and MSWORD6.CNV.

RESOLUTION

==========

Do the following to resolve problems importing Word documents in Lotus

Notes:

_MSIMP.DLL

----------

The _MSIMP.DLL file must be located in the Notes program directory, and a

line similar to the following must appear in the NOTES.INI file (located in

the Windows program directory):

   EDITIMPxx=Microsoft Word,0,_msimp,,.doc,.mcw,.dot,

Note: In the above setting, "xx" is a unique number indicating the position

of this import filter in the List Files of Type list in the Lotus Notes

Import File dialog box.

MSWORD6.CNV

-----------

MSWORD6.CNV must be in your <WINDOWS>\MSAPPS\TEXTCONV subdirectory, and

there must be a reference to this file in the [MS Text Converters] section

of your WIN.INI file, similar to the following:

  MSWord6=Word for Windows 6.0, C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\TEXTCONV\MSWORD6.CNV, doc

Cannot Open MS Access Data File via DDE with Runtime MS Access

Article ID: Q119817

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In the Mail Merge Helper or when you choose Database from the Insert menu,

Word for Windows cannot use dynamic data exchange (DDE) to open a Microsoft

Access data source (.MDB file).

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs when you have only the runtime edition of the Microsoft

Access application (MSARN110.EXE or MSARN200.EXE) on your computer.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Microsoft Access 1.x

--------------------

Use the Microsoft Access 1.x ODBC driver to retrieve data from a Microsoft

Access 1.x data source. To use this ODBC driver, select MS Access Databases

via ODBC (*.mdb) in the Confirm Data Source dialog box.

Microsoft Access 2.0

--------------------

With Microsoft Access 2.0, you cannot use the current Access 2.0 ODBC

driver to obtain data from a Microsoft Access database unless Microsoft

Access is actually installed on your computer. As a result, there is

currently no known workaround if you have only the runtime edition of

Microsoft Access 2.0 installed on your computer.

TITLE Field in Subdocument Displays Master Document Filename

Article ID: Q119818

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A TITLE field in a Word for Windows subdocument displays the filename of

the master document when you open the subdocument from within the master

document.

Note: The behavior of the TITLE field in a subdocument is inconsistent with

that of the AUTHOR field, in which Word retains the subdocument value of

the AUTHOR field, even when you open the subdocument from within the master

document.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Lock or Unlink the TITLE field.

          a. Open the subdocument as a standalone document (in other

             words, do not open it from within the master document).

          b. Update the TITLE field so it displays the title of the

             subdocument.

          c. Lock the field by selecting it and pressing CTRL+F11, or by

             adding the Lock Result (\!) switch to the field, as shown in

             the following sample:

                { TITLE \! }

             -or-

             Unlink the field by selecting it and pressing CTRL+SHIFT+F9.

Method 2: Instead of inserting the TITLE field, type the title of each

          subdocument somewhere near the top of each subdocument and format

          the text using a style that applies white color font formatting.

          Then use a STYLEREF field to display the title text in the

          subdocument. For example, use a style named Title to apply white

          font formatting to the title (which makes the text invisible in

          the document). Then insert the following field in the subdocument

          where you want the title to appear:

             { STYLEREF "Title" }

"Merge to Electronic Fax" Option Unavailable with WinFax Pro

Article ID: Q119819

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In a Word for Windows mail merge operation, the Merge To Electronic Fax

option is unavailable when you are using WinFax Pro. (To locate the Merge

To Electronic Fax option, open a mail merge main document, choose Mail

Merge from the Tools menu, and then choose the Merge button.)

CAUSE

=====

WinFax Pro versions 3.0 and 4.0 are not compatible with the Messaging

Application Programming Interface (MAPI) or Vendor-Independent Messaging

(VIM) standards. Word requires MAPI or VIM compliance to perform a mail

merge operation to an electronic fax. As a result, if your electronic fax

software is not MAPI or VIM compliant, Word removes the Electronic Fax list

item from the Merge To list.

With WinFax Pro, you can fax to only one phone number at a time. To perform

a mail merge to an electronic fax machine from Word, your fax software must

be able to fax to multiple phone numbers in the same operation.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Create a WordBasic macro that merges and faxes one record at a

          time.

          Note: You cannot work around this problem simply by merging your

          document to the printer because Word sends all the merged

          documents to a single fax number.

Method 2: If you are running Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11, use

          Microsoft At Work PC Fax instead to merge your Word document to

          electronic fax.

          NOTE: If you have installed WinFax Pro 4.0 on Windows for

          Workgroups 3.11, WinFax Setup will disable Microsoft At Work PC

          Fax. For more information on what WinFax Setup does, see the

          additional notes in the README.DOC or contact Delrina

          Technologies at (800) 268-6082, (416)441-2752 or BBS number

          (416)4412752.

Method 3: Winfax Pro 3.0. contains a Word for Windows macro that will allow

          you to mail merge to the fax driver. The macro, and other macros

          included are described in the DDEMERG.DOC. The macro can be found

          in the WINFAX.DOT.

Format Font Displays Bookman Font as Bold on HP 4Si PS Printer

Article ID: Q119821

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use the Hewlett-Packard (HP) 4Si/4SiMX 300 dpi or 600 dpi

PostScript printer driver (dated 1/26/93), bold font formatting is selected

in the Format Font dialog box for the internal printer font Bookman even

when the text is not formatted as bold.

The Bold button on the Formatting toolbar and the Help button both

correctly indicate the font formatting.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The HP 4Si/4SiMX uses a different driver for 300 dpi and for 600 dpi. The

filename for the 300-dpi driver is HP4SI3_1.WPD, dated 1/26/93 with a file

size of 7696. For the 600-dpi driver, the filename is HP4SI6_1.WPD, dated

1/26/93 with a file size of 7696.

Although the Font Style in the Format Font dialog box indicates that the

font is formatted as Bold (even when it is not), the font displays

correctly on the screen and prints correctly.

Other fonts do not have this problem, nor do other PostScript printer

drivers.

SYMPTOMS

========

The Letter Wizard (LETTER.WIZ) supplied with Word for Windows does not

provide character formatting options (for example, you cannot change the

font or point size).

WORKAROUND

==========

To modify the character formatting in the Letter Wizard, use the following

method to modify the styles in the Letter Style templates (LETTER1.DOT,

LETTER2.DOT, LETTER3.DOT).

NOTE: Microsoft does not support the modification of its wizards or

templates. Modifications done by the user are at the user's risk and

constitute no obligations or warranties, either written or expressed, by

Microsoft.

 1. Before you modify your Letter Wizard or any of its style templates,

    TEMPLATE subdirectory:

       LETTER.WIZ

       LETTER1.DOT

       LETTER2.DOT

       LETTER3.DOT

    If something goes wrong while you modify your Letter Wizard or one of

    its templates, you can restore the backup copies.

 2. Run the Letter Wizard to create the type of letter you want to use.

    After the wizard finishes, note the style name of the text you want to

    characteristic you want to modify. For example, to change the font,

    choose Font; or to change the line spacing, choose Paragraph.

 9. Repeat step 8 as necessary until you are finished reformatting the

    style, and then choose OK in the Modify Style dialog box.

10. In the Format Style dialog box, choose the Close button.

11. Repeat steps 4 through 10 until you have modified the formatting in all

    the styles you want to change.

12. From the File menu, choose Close. Choose Yes when Word prompts you to

    save the changes to your template.

Next time you use the Letter Wizard to create a letter, the wizard will use

your modified styles.

Word for Windows NT Registry Settings

Article ID: Q119857

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 for Windows NT maintains all configuration and user-specific

option data in the Windows NT Registry in the following areas:

 - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools

      Configuration information for shared graphics filters, text

      converters, proofing tools, and online help components.

 - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools Locations

      Location information for shared components, such as Microsoft

      Equation Editor.

 - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHIINE\Software\Microsoft\MS Setup (ACME)\Table Files

      Table file (STF) location and version information from Word Setup.

 - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\New User Settings\Word\6.0

      Same information stored in

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Word\6.0 but for users who have

      not run Word yet. When user starts Word for the first time, Windows

      NT copies this Registry tree to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER tree listed

      below, and Word uses the setting from that location thereafter.

 - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Word\6.0

      Configuration information for Word-specific text converters, online

      Help, user-specific options, proofing tools and printer flags.

NOTE: The 32-bit text converters included with Word for Windows NT continue

to use .INI files, as do their 16-bit counterparts, for converter-specific

settings.

How to Change Resume Wizard (RESUME.WIZ) Document Formatting

Article ID: Q119858

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Resume Wizard (RESUME.WIZ) supplied with Word for Windows does not

provide character formatting options (for example, you cannot change the

font or point size).

WORKAROUND

==========

To modify the character formatting cover letter, resume, or resume envelope

you can create with the Resume Wizard, use the methods below to modify the

styles in the Resume Style templates (RESUME1.DOT, RESUME2.DOT,

RESUME4.DOT, LETTER1.DOT, LETTER2.DOT, and LETTER3.DOT).

NOTE: Microsoft does not support the modification of its wizards or

templates. Modifications done by the user are at the user's risk and

constitute no obligations or warranties, either written or expressed, by

Microsoft.

WORKAROUND

==========

This workaround consists of three separate procedures you can use to modify

the resume, cover letter, and resume envelope, respectively. Before you

modify your Resume Wizard or any of its style templates, make backup copies

of the following files, which are located in the TEMPLATE subdirectory:

   RESUME1.DOT       LETTER1.DOT

   RESUME2.DOT       LETTER2.DOT

   RESUME4.DOT       LETTER3.DOT

If something goes wrong while you modify your Resume Wizard or one of

its templates, you can restore the backup copies.

Modifying the Resume Text Styles

--------------------------------

 1. Run the Resume Wizard and select the style and settings you want to

    use. After the wizard finishes, note the style name of the text you

    want to reformat. For example, if you want to change the font style of

    the institution name, note the Institution style. Once you have noted

    the names of all the styles you want to change, continue with step 2.

 2. Open the template that corresponds to the style of resume you

    created in step 1 above:

       Resume Style          Resume Style Template

       ------------          ---------------------

       Classic               RESUME1.DOT

       Contemporary          RESUME2.DOT

       Elegant               RESUME4.DOT

 3. From the Format menu, choose Style.

 4. From the List box, select All Styles.

 5. From the Styles list, select the first style you want to change and

    choose the Modify button.

 6. In the Modify Style dialog box, select the Add To Template option so an

    X appears in its check box.

 7. Choose the Format button. From the menu that appears, choose

    characteristic you want to modify. For example, to change the font,

    choose Font; or to change the line spacing, choose Paragraph.

 8. Repeat step 7 as necessary until you are finished reformatting the

    style, and then choose OK in the Modify Style dialog box.

 9. In the Format Style dialog box, choose the Close button.

10. Repeat steps 3 through 9 until you have modified the formatting in all

    the styles you want to change.

11. From the File menu, choose Close. Choose Yes when Word prompts you to

    save the changes to your template.

Next time you use the Resume Wizard to create a resume, the wizard will use

your modified styles.

Modifying the Resume Cover Letter Text Styles

---------------------------------------------

 1. Run the Resume Wizard to create the type of cover letter you want to

    use. After the wizard finishes, note the style name of the text you

    want to reformat. For example, if you want to change the font for the

    body of the letter, note the Body Text style. Once you have noted the

    names of all the styles you want to change, continue with step 2.

 2. Open the template that corresponds to the style of letter you created

    in step 1 above:

       Letter Style          Letter Style Template

       ------------          ---------------------

       Classic               LETTER1.DOT

       Contemporary          LETTER2.DOT

       Typewriter            LETTER3.DOT

 3. From the Format menu, choose Style.

 4. From the List box, select All Styles.

 5. From the Styles list, select the first style you want to change and

    choose the Modify button.

 6. In the Modify Style dialog box, select the Add To Template option so an

    X appears in its check box.

 7. Choose the Format button. From the menu that appears, choose

    characteristic you want to modify. For example, to change the font,

    choose Font; or to change the line spacing, choose Paragraph.

 8. Repeat step 7 as necessary until you are finished reformatting the

    style, and then choose OK in the Modify Style dialog box.

 9. In the Format Style dialog box, choose the Close button.

10. Repeat steps 3 through 9 until you have modified the formatting in all

    the styles you want to change.

11. From the File menu, choose Close. Choose Yes when Word prompts you to

    save the changes to your template.

Next time you use the Resume Wizard to create a cover letter, the wizard

will use your modified styles.

Modifying the Resume Envelope Text Style

----------------------------------------

 1. Create a new Word document based on the Normal template by choosing the

    New button on the Standard toolbar.

 2. From the Format menu, choose Style.

 3. In the List box, select All Styles.

 4. From the Styles list, select EnvelopeReturn if you want to modify the

    return address, and select EnvelopeAddress if you want to modify the

    formatting of the addressee block.

 5. Choose the Modify button.

 6. In the Modify Style dialog box, select the Add To Template option so an

    X appears in its check box.

 7. Choose the Format button. From the menu that appears, choose the

    characteristic you want to modify. For example, to change the font

    size, choose Font; or to change the line spacing, choose Paragraph.

    Modify the style formatting, and then choose OK.

 8. Repeat step 7 as necessary until you are finished reformatting the

    style, and then choose OK in the Modify Style dialog box.

 9. In the Format Style dialog box, choose the Close button.

10. Repeat steps 3 through 9 until you have modified the formatting in all

    the styles you want to change.

Next time you use the Resume Wizard to create a resume envelope, the wizard

will use your modified EnvelopeReturn and EnvelopeAddress styles.

Word Doesn't Include Page Ranges in Index

Article ID: Q119861

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-cd, 2.0b, 2.0c,

   6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When an item to be indexed appears on consecutive pages, Word represents

those pages individually in the index, rather than showing them as a range.

This happens even when you use the \G switch to gather ranges.

For instance, if the word "Apple" appears on pages 4, 5, 6, and 7, Word

lists each page separately in the index

   Apple, 4, 5, 6, 7

rather than showing a range:

   Apple, 4-7

Using the \G switch without also using bookmarks and XE fields will not

change the way the index appears.

CAUSE

=====

By design in Word, when you compile an index in a document that contains

multiple XE fields for identical index entries, Word lists a page number

for each index entry (for example, Apple, 4, 5, 6, 7). In contrast, when

the range of pages is bookmarked, Word compiles the index showing this

range (for example, Apple, 4-7).

WORKAROUND

==========

Use bookmarks and a special XE field to tell Word to show a range for

certain words.

Word Version 6.0

----------------

 1. Highlight the range of pages on which the word appears.

 2. From the Edit menu, choose Bookmark.

 3. Type a name for the bookmark. A good name to use is the word you are

    indexing.

 4. Choose the Add button.

 5. Place the insertion point somewhere in the area you applied the

    bookmark to.

 6. From the Insert menu, choose Index And Tables.

 7. Select the Index tab.

 8. Choose the Mark Entry button.

 9. In the Main Entry box, type the word as you want it to appear in the

    index.

10. Select the Page Range option.

11. In the Bookmark box, select the bookmark name you applied.

12. Choose the Mark button.

13. Choose the Close button.

When you insert the index, it will include the range over which the word

appears. An en dash separates the page numbers. If you would like to change

this character, see the More Information section below.

Word Version 2.0

----------------

1. Highlight the range of pages on which the word appears.

2. From the Insert menu, choose Bookmark.

3. Type a name for the bookmark. A good name to use is the word you are

   indexing.

4. Choose the OK button.

5. Place the insertion point somewhere in the area you applied the bookmark

   to.

6. Turn on Show All Characters, if it is not already on.

7. Press CTRL+F9 to insert field braces.

8. Type in the field, so it appears like this:

      {XE "word" \r "bookmarkname"}

When you insert the index, it will include the range over which the word

appears. An en dash separates the page numbers. If you would like to change

this character, see the More Information section below.

MORE INFORMATION

================

By default, Word uses an en dash to separate the beginning and ending pages

in an indexed range. You can specify a different separation character by

using the \G switch.

To specify a different separator, add the \G switch and the separator

character, with the separator in quotation marks.

   This field               Yields this result

Form Field Duplicates When Form Is Protected After Revisions

Article ID: Q119867

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A duplicate form field appears when you edit a form field and Mark

Revisions While Editing is activated. If the document is protected for

Forms, two fields may appear in your protected form. This behavior occurs

when you have not accepted or rejected the revisions prior to protecting

your form.

If you are marking your revisions for deleted text using hidden formatting

instead of strikethrough, when you protect the form, the cursor disappears

when you press the TAB key and move to the duplicate field. It reappears

when you start typing, but you cannot enter text into this form field.

CAUSE

=====

When you select Mark Revisions While Editing and revision marks are turned

on, any text or fields in your document that are modified are displayed as

revised. For example, when you edit (or open) the form field options, your

original field is deleted and a new field is created. This behavior is

identical to marking revised text or other fields in Word documents.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word versions 6.0

and 6.0a for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Prior to protecting your form, accept or reject your revisions. To locate

this option, choose Revisions from the Tools menu.

Workstation Setup Fails with [LotusMail] Group in WIN.INI File

Article ID: Q119868

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Your workstation setup abruptly quits and displays the following error

message:

     Setup has encountered a problem. Please report

     file = '.\copyfile.c', line = '72' to Microsoft Product

     Support Services.

This error occurs near the end of the workstation setup, when the program

groups and icons are being built. This problem has been reported on Novell

networks but may affect other networking environments as well.

CAUSE

=====

This error occurs when the drive assigned on the program= line in the

[LotusMail] section points to a valid network drive that does not contain

WMAIL.EXE.

For example, the WIN.INI file contains the following section:

     [LotusMail]

     application=wMail

     program=x:\WMAIL.EXE SendMail

where "x:" is a network drive.

WORKAROUND

==========

Edit the WIN.INI file to "comment out" (disable) the section causing the

abrupt termination of setup. To do this, use a text editor such as Notepad.

Place a semicolon in front of each line in the [Lotus Mail] section:

   ;[LotusMail]

   ;application=wMail

   ;program=x:\WMAIL.EXE SendMail

Save the WIN.INI file, restart Windows and rerun the workstation setup.

When setup is completed successfully, edit the WIN.INI file and remove the

semicolons, save the WIN.INI file and restart Windows.

Print Preview Changes How It Displays Pages

Article ID: Q119869

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In print preview, switching from one zoom level to another and then back to

the original zoom level may not display the same number of pages when you

return to the original zoom level. This behavior occurs when you set your

document's page setup to Mirror Margins.

CAUSE

=====

Word for Windows treats facing pages (mirror margins) as "pairs of pages."

Therefore, selecting Mirror Margins in Page Setup may change how many total

pages Word displays at one time.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word versions 6.0

and 6.0a for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

You can gain the most control over the number of displayed pages by

changing the zoom control to a certain percentage. Print preview will

remain at that same zoom no matter what selections you make in Page Setup.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word displays pages in print preview based on a number of different

criteria. In multipage layout, Word will display pages based on the zoom

control you select or by how many pages you want across and down. However

Word will not display a page at less than 10 percent of that page's

original size. The size of the paper and the orientation of those pages can

also affect how many pages will be displayed. Hardware specific variables

such as display driver and resolution may also impact how many pages are

displayed at one time.

When you change settings in Page Layout (for example, paper orientation or

Mirror Margins), the number of pages displayed will often change as well.

Word tries to keep what you've selected as the zoom and/or number of pages

consistent as it displays these changes for you. Sometimes, Word will make

a decision to display the change at the same zoom but with a different

number of pages.

EXAMPLES

========

In print preview, if you select 24 percent or 25 percent zoom, you can

display three pages. If you then choose Page Setup from the Format menu and

change the orientation to landscape, you may have only two pages across.

You may also get a second row of pages. Word will attempt to keep the zoom

at 25 percent and display as many pages as possible at that zoom. By

contrast, if you choose multipage view and select 1x3 as the display, then

change the paper orientation, Word will try to keep the view at three pages

across by reducing the zoom percentage.

When you change to facing pages (mirror margins) while in print preview,

Word still tries to maintain the zoom or multipage view you previously

selected. However, it will treat pages as pairs. This means if you had an

odd number of pages displayed before applying mirror margins, an even

number will now be displayed at that same zoom. If you then use the

magnifier and view a page at 100 percent and then zoom back out again, Word

will attempt to show you the total number of pages you had originally

selected, except now they will be pairs of pages. Sometimes Word cannot

display all those pairs because Word cannot display them at less than 10

percent.

AppleScript Example: MacScript and MacScript$()

Article ID: Q119887

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article contains an AppleScript example that demonstrates the use of

the following WordBasic statement and function:

   MacScript

   MacScript$()

This article supplements the information in online Help. To open this Help

topic, choose the Help button on your keyboard, select the Programming With

Microsoft Word option, and type "macscript" (without quotation marks) on

the query line.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Syntax

------

MacScript Script$

MacScript$(Script$)

   Script$ is the path and filename of a script or a text string that will

   be compiled and run by AppleScript.

The MacScript statement runs an existing AppleScript script or passes a

text string to AppleScript that will be interpreted by AppleScript.

The MacScript$() function behaves the same as the MacScript statement and

also returns the value returned by Script$. The MacScript$() function

always return a string. If the script specified by Script$ returns anything

other than a string, it is converted to a string by MacScript$(). If the

script specified by Script$ does not return a value, the MacScript$()

returns the empty string("").

In Windows, the MacScript statement and MacScript$() function are not

available and generate errors.

Example

-------

The following macro refers to a script called CalculateString. Suppose that

this script takes the selected string in a Word document and sends it to

Microsoft Excel, where Microsoft Excel tries to evaluate the string as a

formula. If Microsoft Excel can evaluate the formula, the script returns

the value to Word as a string. The WordBasic macro can then replace the

selection with the contents of result$.

Sub MAIN:

result$ = MacScript$("HD:APPLESCRIPT:SCRIPTS:CALCULATESTRING")

If result$ <> "" Then

   EditCut

   Insert result$

End If

End Sub

1. From the File menu, choose Preferences.

2. In the Preferences dialog box, choose Printing.

3. In the Printing Preferences dialog box, complete the following:

   a. Select the type of document for which you are setting up

      preferences (letter, fax, memo, report, label, or envelope).

   b. Select the "Use Word Processor with DDE" option.

      NOTE: Failure to do this creates the appearance that none of your

      templates are designed correctly. In fact, all the documents you

      create will be based on the Word NORMAL.DOT template if you select

      the option "Use Word Processor Without DDE."

   c. Make sure the correct template is selected for the type of document

      you are creating.

4. Choose the Word Processors button.

5. Select Microsoft Word from the Word Processor Name drop-down list and

   choose the OK button.

6. Choose the OK button.

Using Sharkware Templates

-------------------------

To use one of the Sharkware templates, choose Select Template from the

Write menu, select the desired template, and choose the OK button.

Sharkware opens a new document in Word based on one of the following

templates:

   SWENV.DOT          Envelopes

   SWFAX.DOT          Fax Cover Page

   SWLAB.DOT          Labels

   SWLETTER.DOT       Business Letters

   SWMEMO.DOT         Business Memos

If you choose to, you can modify any of these templates by opening them in

Word, making your changes and saving the templates to the SHARK directory.

To preserve your original template, it is recommended that you save your

modified template using a new filename.

Merging from Sharkware to Word

------------------------------

Choosing Letter, Fax, Memo, Label, or Envelope from the Write menu in

Sharkware allows you to merge a single (current) record. If you want to

perform a merge that includes all contacts in your database, or contacts

based on selected criteria, use the Print Merge command on the Write menu.

As your information is being merged, two temporary files are created, one

for the main document, one for the data document. When your merge is

completed, these temporary files are closed and the final, merged document

appears on the screen. You can then choose Print from the File menu in Word

to print your merge document.

Sharkware Mergefield Names

--------------------------

Sharkware uses the following naming conventions and conversions for popular

mergefields. All Sharkware templates contain macros that convert the

Sharkware database names to the Word mergefield names.

   Sharkware name          Word mergefield name

   --------------          --------------------

   Name, Last              LastName

   Company                 Company

   Name, First             FirstName

   Name, Middle            MiddleName

   Title                   Title

   Salutation              Salutation

   Phone 1                 Phone1

   Phone 1 Ext             Phone1Ext

   Address Line 1          A1_type

   Address Line 2          A2_type

   City                    C1_type

   State                   ST_type

   Zip Code                ZC_type

Sharkware Macros and Error Messages

-----------------------------------

Each Sharkware template for Word contains an Autonew macro that restores

Word if it is minimized. If Word is closed when you initiate a print merge

from within Sharkware, you receive the following error message

   The Window is too small.

followed by a subsequent error message indicating that Sharkware

   Cannot initiate DDE conversation with [Microsoft Word]

You are then instructed to close Sharkware, start Microsoft Word, and

minimize it before you can perform the merge.

The Create Merge macro included in the SWLETTER, SWFAX, and SWMEMO

templates is used to execute the conversion of the Sharkware fields to

mergefields and initiates the merge to a new document.

The SWLAB and SWENV templates use a macro called ReportEngine to initiate

the merge command before calling either the Label or Envelopes macro to

convert the Sharkware fields to Word mergefields. The templates then

perform a merge to a new document. The SWLAB template includes two

additional macros to align either single- or multiple-label formats,

similar to the macro used in the Word 2.0 MAILLABL template.

Importing/Exporting Data

------------------------

Sharkware allows you to import and export files as comma-delimited

ASCII text or in dBase formats.

Sharkware is manufactured by Cognitech Corporation, a vendor independent of

Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these

products' performance or reliability.

Second Save Overwrites Stationery with Word Document Format

Article ID: Q119942

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for the Macintosh, if you create and save a document in Stationery

file format, Word for the Macintosh retains the stationery filename in the

document based on the stationery. If you save the document again without

changing the filename, the Word document overwrites the stationery file.

This behavior differs from that of earlier versions of Word for the

Macintosh, in which Word changes the default filename of the document based

on a newly saved stationery. Word does not prompt or warn you that it is

overwriting the stationery file format with Word document format.

This does not happen if you first close the stationery file before using it

to create a new document in Word.

Note: Stationery is a special form of a document that you can use

repeatedly as a master for similar documents. When a file is in stationery

pad format, you cannot modify it. When you open a stationery pad, a new,

untitled document appears that contains the text, styles, and other

formatting of the stationery pad. The stationery pad itself does not open,

so you cannot modify it.

CAUSE

=====

By design, Word for the Macintosh uses the same filename for both the Word

document based on the stationery and the open, newly created stationery

file itself. As a result, the new Word document overwrites the stationery

file if you do not use the Save As command on the File menu to change the

filename.

WORKAROUND

==========

To use a newly created stationery sheet, you must first close the

stationery and then reopen it. When you do this, Word opens a new document,

named DocumentX, that contains the text, styles, and other formats of the

stationery (unlike a Word template, the stationery doesn't store macros,

command settings, or AutoText entries). When you save DocumentX, it does

not overwrite the stationery file.

Actions that Invoke Repagination

Article ID: Q119943

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

By default, Word for Windows updates page breaks whenever you pause while

typing or editing. This is called background pagination. Background

pagination is always turned on in print preview and page layout view, but

you can turn it off for other views. Even when background pagination is

off, however, certain actions cause Word to repaginate the document.

Repagination happens whenever it is important for Word to show page breaks

accurately.

The following is a list of actions that cause Word to repaginate the

document, even when Background Pagination is disabled:

 - Switching from normal view to header/footer view

 - Switching from normal view to page layout view

 - Switching to print preview

 - Printing

 - In print preview, choosing Shrink To One Page (this is more noticeable

   if the document contains many pages)

 - Inserting page numbers

 - Inserting an index

 - Updating the index

 - Inserting a table of contents

 - Updating the table of contents

 - Exporting or saving to a foreign format

 - Using the Goto command to go to a particular section

MORE INFORMATION

================

To turn off background pagination, choose Options from the Tools menu,

select the General tab, and then clear the Background Pagination option so

no X appears in the box next to it.

Word Ignores Printer Driver Copies Setting

Article ID: Q119944

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you change the Copies setting in the printer driver to print multiple

copies and then change the Copies setting in the File Print dialog box in

Word for Windows to 1, only one copy comes out of the printer (this

behavior is different from that of Word 2.x for Windows). Furthermore, the

next time you choose Print from the File menu in Word, the Copies setting

will be the same as the Copies setting in the printer driver.

CAUSE

=====

Word for Windows overrides the printer driver settings. For example, if you

set the Copies to 4 in the printer driver, the Copies setting in Word is 4

unless you change it; then the Word setting overrides the printer driver

setting.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: To print multiple copies, set the printer driver to 1 copy, and

          set the desired number of copies in Word's Print dialog box.

Method 2: Some printers can be configured for multiple copies. For

          example, the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 4 can be configured to

          print 1 to 999 copies by following these steps:

          a. Press the On Line button to take the printer off line.

          b. Press the Menu button until "Printing Menu" appears on the

             display.

          c. Press the Item button until "Copies" appears on the display.

          d. Press the plus (+) button until the desired number of copies

             is selected.

          e. Press the Enter button to save the selection.

          f. Press the On Line button to return the printer On Line.

          The LaserJet IIISi can be configured to print 1 to 999 copies by

          following these steps:

          a. Press the On Line button to take the printer off line.

          b. Press the Menu button once and "Copies=1" will appear on the

             display.

          c. Press the plus (+) button until the desired number of copies

             is selected.

          d. Press the Enter button to save the selection.

          e. Press the On Line button to return the printer On Line.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To set the number of copies in the printer driver, follow these steps:

1. In the Windows Program Manager Main Group, choose the Control Panel.

2. Choose the Printers icon.

3. Choose the Setup button.

The number of copies is in this dialog box.  It should be set for 1 copy.

To set the number of copies in Word's Print dialog box, follow these steps:

1. From the File menu, choose Print

2. Set the desired number of copies in this dialog box.

In Word 2.x for Windows, you could set the driver for multiple copies (such

as 4), and then set Word to print 1 copy. Word would spool one job to the

printer, and the printer would replicate the print job the desired number

of times (four in this case).

In Word 6.0, you need to print multiple copies by setting the driver to 1

copy and setting the Print dialog box to the desired number of copies (such

as 4). Word will then spool four separate print jobs to the printer.

Nested Merge with IncludeText Field Does Not Merge File

Article ID: Q119946

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You may receive several errors when you try to nest a merge field within

the IncludeText field. (Note: For compatibility with earlier versions of

Word for Windows, you can use Include instead of IncludeText.) If your

document contains the following field

   {IncludeText {mergefield <filename>}}

where <filename> represents a field that contains a valid path and

filename, and you select the View Merged Data option before merging your

main document and data file, you will get the following error message:

   Error! Not a valid filename"

When performing the merge to a document or to the printer, you will receive

the following error message

   A field calculation error occurred in Record <record number>.

where <record number> is the number of the record being merged. This error

repeats for each record in the data document, and the resulting document

will contain the message:

   Error! Not a valid filename

If you first merge to a new document (not to the printer), you can select

the field in the merged document and press F9 to update the merge field. If

the data record originally contained full path information (for example,

C:\PATH\FILENAME), you will get the following error and you will not be

able to include the document in your merge:

   Error! Filename not specified!

If the original data record contains only the filename and the file is in

the current directory, the field will update at this point, without an

error.

This type of merge works correctly in Word version 2.x.

CAUSE

=====

As the field updates, it reads the field braces of the nested field and

interprets the braces as part of the path. Since field braces are not valid

characters in a path, you receive the above errors.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

and 6.0c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

If the {mergefield <filename>} refers to data that contains a path, first

format the field braces as hidden. Since you cannot select a single field

brace without selecting the entire field, you must first format the entire

field as hidden, then format the field type ("mergefield") and field

instructions (the data field name) as not hidden. Use the following steps

to do this:

1. Select the field ({mergefield filename}).

2. From the Format menu, choose Font. Under Effects, select Hidden and then

   choose the OK button.

3. Select the text inside the field braces only.

4. From the Format menu, choose Font. Under Effects, clear the Hidden

   option then choose the OK button.

5. Your new document will contain the error:

      Error! Not a valid filename.

   Choose Select All or press CTRL+A to highlight the entire document.

7. Press F9 to update the fields.

   Note: If you skip steps 3 and 4, your new document will contain a hidden

   path and filename that will generate the following message, and you will

   not be able to update the field:

      Error! Filename not specified!

Merged Document Does Not Start Each Merged Record on Page 1

Article ID: Q119947

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you include a continuous section break at the end of a Word 6.0 mail

merge main document, Word does not start each merged record on page 1.

Although Word inserts a new-page section break to separate each record's

merged data, each section is treated as though it continues from the

previous section. The disadvantage to this is that if you include page

numbers in the main document, the page numbers in the merged document will

number sequentially.

By contrast, if you add a continuous section break to the end of a

Word 2.x document, Word 2.x adds a new-page section break that starts

at page 1 for each merged record.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Remove the continuous section break from the main document.

EditClear Deletes Multiple Spaces with Smart Cut and Paste

Article ID: Q119948

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You may unintentionally delete more than one space when you run a macro

such as the following that includes the EditClear statement.

Sub Main

EditClear

End Sub

Even when a count of 1 is included in the statement, as in the following

example, Word may ignore the count and delete multiple spaces.

Sub Main

EditClear 1

End Sub

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs when you have the "Use Smart Cut and Paste" option

turned on and any of the following conditions occur:

 - The insertion point follows certain characters, such as opening or

   closing parentheses, opening or closing quotation marks, or opening

   bracket.

 - The insertion point precedes two or more spaces.

 - No text is selected.

When the insertion point follows other types of punctuation (such as the

opening or closing brace), or if one character space is selected following

this punctuation, only one character is deleted.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

To delete a single space from a series of spaces, use Clear from the Edit

Menu. If you prefer to use a macro, clear the "Use Smart Cut and Paste"

check box before running the macro. (To locate this option, choose Options

from the Tools menu, select the Edit tab.)

MORE INFORMATION

================

EditClear is a WordBasic statement that deletes the current selection or

one or more characters to the right of the insertion point. When included

in a macro, it may include an argument called Count to delete a specified

number of characters. When run from the Edit menu, Clear is used to delete

the current selection or the character to the right of the insertion point.

EditClear deletes text without changing the contents of the Clipboard.

Using WordBasic to Add Sequential Number to New Form Document

Article ID: Q119990

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

With Microsoft WordBasic, you can produce a series of document forms with a

number that increments with each new document created. This may be helpful

if you are designing an invoice template form and you want to automatically

increment the invoice number. The following macro example increments the

value stored in the INVOICE# AutoText entry each time the macro runs.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Sub MAIN

ToolsUnprotectDocument

number = Val(GetAutoText$("INVOICE#", 1)) + 1

InvoiceNum$ = Str$(number)

Temp$ = LTrim$(InvoiceNum$)

SetAutoText "INVOICE#", Temp$, 1

SetFormResult "Text1", Temp$

ToolsProtectDocument .Type = 2, .NoReset = 1

SaveTemplate

End Sub

Line Descriptions:

Line 1  - Starts the Main Subroutine

Line 2  - Unprotects the form so that an AutoText entry can be changed

Line 3  - Retrieves the contents of the INVOICE# AutoText entry

Line 4  - Converts the number to a string variable

Line 5  - Removes the preceding space

Line 6  - SETS the contents of the INVOICE# AutoText entry

Line 7  - Sets the contents of the Text1 form field

Line 8  - Saves the template

Line 9  - Protects the current document for forms

Line 10 - Ends the Main Subroutine

Notes: You can name the above macro AutoNew and store it in a protected

form template (protect the template for Forms). If the macro is named

AutoNew, the macro will run whenever a new document is created based on the

template. The SetAutoText and GetAutoText statements in the above macro

have the context set to template; therefore, you must run the above macro

from a document based on a template other than NORMAL.DOT.

You can define the AutoText item "INVOICE#" from the above example to

specify the starting number for the sequence. If the INVOICE# AutoText

entry does not exist, the first time you run the above macro, INVOICE# will

be set to the number 1.

The SetFormResult statement inserts the sequence number into a text form

field named "Text1." You may need to change "Text1" to refer to a form

field name that exists in your template.

The template you create should be protected for forms. From the Tools menu,

choose Protect Document. Select Forms and then choose the OK button.

MORE INFORMATION

================

If your form is a document and not a template, the number can be saved in a

document variable using the SetDocumentVar statement. For example, the

following macro stores a number in the document variable named number. Each

time the macro is run, the number is incremented by one.

Sub MAIN

number = Val(GetDocumentVar$("number")) + 1

number$ = LTrim$(Str$(number))

SetDocumentVar "number", number$

SetFormResult "Text1", number$

End Sub

The above macro could be assigned to a form field as an on-exit or on-entry

macro. This way, the contents of the Text1 form field are automatically

incremented when the form field is entered or exited.

Other methods for preserving values in-between sessions of a macro, are as

follows:

 - Use SetPrivateProfileString to store values to a private settings file.

 - Use SetProfileString to store values in the WIN.INI file.

 - Use the WordBasic File Input/Output statements to write to a text file

   (for example, Write or Print statements).

Deleting an Entry Line from an .INI Settings File

Article ID: Q120028

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Microsoft WordBasic includes two statements to read and write information

to a private settings file often referred to as an .INI file:

SetPrivateProfileString and GetPrivateProfileString. Neither of these

commands, however, allow you to remove an entire entry line from a private

settings file or .INI file.

The following WordBasic macro demonstrates the use of the Windows

WritePrivateProfileString function in order to remove an entry from an .INI

file.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Declare Function DeleteProfileStr Lib "kernel"(Section$, Key$, \

Value As Long, FName$) As Integer Alias "WritePrivateProfileString"

Sub MAIN

FName$ = "C:\WINWORD\TEXT.INI"

Section$  = "Section"

Key$ = "Entry1"

x = DeleteProfileStr(Section$, Key$, 0, FName$)

End Sub

MORE INFORMATION

================

The above WordBasic macro deletes the Entry1= line from the TEXT.INI file

in the C:\WINWORD directory. Before running the macro, the contents of the

TEXT.INI file appears as follows:

   [Section]

   Entry1="Text for entry 1"

   Entry2="More text"

After running the above macro the contents of the TEXT.INI file appear as

follows:

   [Section]

   Entry2="More text"

Linked Pictures in Same Paragraph Update Continuously

Article ID: Q120082

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If a paragraph contains two linked graphics, Word for Windows may update

them continuously when you save, close, and reopen the document and scroll

past the linked graphics. When this happens, Word continues to update the

linked graphics, one after another, until you press ESC or choose the

Cancel button in the external converter dialog box.

After you cancel the update operations, Word may replace one of the

graphics with a box that contains an X. You can restore the graphics

display by selecting the graphic and pressing F9 to update the

INCLUDEPICTURE field.

CAUSE

=====

The continuous updating behavior if all the linked graphics in the

paragraph use an external graphics filter to import the file and if you

clear the Save Picture In Document option in the Insert Picture dialog box

(if this option is selected for at least one of the linked graphics, Word

updates the graphics only once).

For example, the behavior occurs if the paragraph contains a .WPG and a

.TIF file. It does not happen if Word imports one or more of the graphics

without using an external graphics filter. For example, the behavior does

not occur if the paragraph contains a .BMP graphic (Word does not use an

external converter to import a .BMP graphic image).

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Select the Save Picture in Document option for at least one of

          the linked graphics in the paragraph.

Method 2: Create a table and insert one picture in each table cell.

Method 3: Place each picture in a frame, and position the frames next to

          each other.

Information: How to Create Legal Page Numbering

Article ID: Q120083

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

You can create legal page numbering for duplexed pages with a combination

of fields in Word for Windows--for example, "Page 1 of 3" on the front and

back of the first physical page, "Page 2 of 3" on the front and back of the

second physical page, and so on:

   Sample Legal Numbering Scheme

   -----------------------------

   1 of 3         (front of first physical page)

   1 of 3         (back of first physical page)

   2 of 3         (front of second physical page)

   2 of 3         (back of second physical page)

   3 of 3         (front of third physical page)

   3 of 3         (back of third physical page)

MORE INFORMATION

================

To Create Legal Page Numbering for Duplexed Pages

=================================================

First, you need to establish different odd and even headers and footers:

In Word 6.0

-----------

1. From the File menu, choose Page Setup.

How to Enter Accented Characters from the Keyboard

Article ID: Q120085

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word version 6.0 provides a way to enter characters that take an accent,

apostrophe, caret, or tilde directly from the keyboard.

For example, you can use this method to type an accented "a" (an "a" with

an apostrophe above it).

To create these combinations on screen,

1. While holding the CTRL key, type the key which will appear above the

   letter.

   The status bar shows "Ctrl+<key>" where <key> is the key you pressed,

   but nothing appears on the screen.

2. Type the desired letter. The new combination appears in the document.

If you type a legitimate symbol but type an ineligible letter, you'll hear

a beep. If you press CTRL plus a symbol (which is invalid), you'll see just

the character and no symbol above it.

The following symbols can be used:

   acute accent (')

   grave accent (`)

   tilde (~)

   caret (^)

The letters they can be placed above are:

   A, a, E, e, I, i, O, o, U, u, Y, y

For more information about this topic, double-click the Help button on the

Standard toolbar and search on "foreign", "accent", or "international"

(without the quotation marks). Select the "Creating international letters

with a U.S. keyboard" topic and choose the Go To button.

Text Pasted Immediately After Hidden Text Loses Hidden Format

Article ID: Q120086

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You pasted text inside a TC field, but the text incorrectly displays and

prints as not hidden.

If you type additional text after the pasted text, this text is hidden.

Applying Hidden font formatting to the pasted text causes the table of

contents to have hidden TOC levels.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs when you use the following procedure:

1. Position your insertion point immediately following the TC field name.

2. Turn the Smart Cut And Paste feature on.

3. Paste text into the field.

This behavior does not occur if you add a space after the TC field before

pasting the text in the field.

When Smart Cut And Paste is on and you paste text in a TC field, Word adds

a space before the pasted text. The space added does not contain hidden

formatting and causes the text to come in formatted without the hidden

feature of the TC field.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Add a space after the TC field name before pasting the text.

Method 2: If you have already inserted the text, first delete the space

          and then reinsert (retype) it.

Long Index Entries with Tabs and Columns Don't Wrap

Article ID: Q120087

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If an index contains more than one column and includes tabs to separate the

entries from the page numbers, entries with multiple page numbers may not

wrap correctly.

The result is that page numbers may extend into the right column or margin

boundary and may disappear or be truncated.

This problem may occur if an index is built using the \C switch for

multiple columns and the \E switch to insert a tab in each entry.

CAUSE

=====

The right-aligned tab that's created with this combination of switches for

the index is exactly the width of the column and may not function

correctly. The tab setting needs to be slightly less than the width of the

column.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

In each column, reduce the tab setting by about .1 to .2 inch. The text

should wrap to the next line and should no longer exceed the column

boundary.

MORE INFORMATION

================

If multiple page numbers are created for an entry, such as when an entry

appears on several pages, the numbers may extend into the column boundary

and appear cut off when printed instead of wrapping to the line below.

If an entry is referenced on several page numbers, some of the page numbers

may extend into the right column boundary or margin of the page instead of

wrapping to the next line. Numbers on the right side may be clipped or not

appear in page layout view, print preview, or when printed.

If an entry is referenced on one or only a few pages, the entry may not

appear to extend into the column boundary.

CAUSE

=====

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

the WINWORD6.INI file:

   WPHELP=1

WORKAROUND

==========

Turn off WordPerfect Help using the following procedure:

Some Keys Don't Work After Exit Macro Unprotects Document

Article ID: Q120092

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If a macro that runs when you exit a FORM field unprotects the document or

a section of the document, the following keys do not work in Word for

Windows:

   HOME

   END

   PAGE UP

   PAGE DOWN

   BACKSPACE

   ENTER

For example, if you assign the following macro to a FORM field as an Exit

macro, the above keys no longer work in Word:

Sub MAIN

 ToolsUnprotectDocument

End Sub

Note: To assign a macro to a form field that runs when you exit the field,

double-click the FORM field. Under Run Macro On in the Form Field Options

dialog box that appears, select the macro name from the Exit list.

By contrast, the keys do not lose functionality if you do either of the

following:

 - Instead of running an Exit macro, unprotect the document by choosing

   Unprotect Document from the Tools menu.

 - Add an unprotected section at the end of your document and then run the

   Exit macro that unprotects your document.

Calculate Command Does Not Appear on the Tools Menu

Article ID: Q120093

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Calculate command does not appear on the Tools menu in Word 6.0 as it

does in Word 2.x for Windows and Word 5.1 for the Macintosh.

CAUSE

=====

This change in the menu structure is by design in Word 6.0. To perform a

calculation in Word 6.0, use the Formula command on the Table menu or run

the ToolsCalculate macro from the Tools Macro dialog box.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use the following procedure to add the Calculate command to your Tools menu

in Word 6.0:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Customize.

2. Select the Menus tab.

3. In the Category list, select All Commands.

4. In the Commands list, select ToolsCalculate.

5. From the Change What Menu list, select &Tools.

6. If desired, select a location for the command from the Position on Menu

   list.

7. Choose the Add button (it is sometimes called the Add Below button).

8. Choose the Close button.

When you open the Tools menu, it now contains the Calculate command, which

functions in the same manner as it did in Word 2.x for Windows and Word 5.1

for the Macintosh. For information about this command, do the following:

1. From the Help menu, choose Contents.

2. Select the Programming With Microsoft Word topic.

3. In the Programming With Microsoft Word window, choose the Statements And

   Functions Index topic.

4. Choose the T button, and then select the "ToolsCalculate,

   ToolsCalculate()" topic.

NOTE: If you choose the Help button on the Standard toolbar and then choose

Calculate from the Tools menu, Word does not display the ToolsCalculate

Help topic; instead Word displays the "Formula Command (Table menu)" topic.

Cannot Remove or Delete Font After Running Mac Word Setup

Article ID: Q120101

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

unable to delete or remove the fonts you installed. If you try to delete a

font, the following error message may occur:

   An unexpected error of type -39 occurred.

CAUSE

=====

You canceled or otherwise interrupted Setup while it was listing a font

==========

1. In the System folder, rename the Fonts folder to a different name. For

   example, change the name to "Fonts Temp" (without the quotation marks).

2. Restart your computer so the System will create a new Fonts folder.

3. Open the renamed Fonts folder (in the above example, open the "Fonts

   Temp" folder). Delete the corrupt fonts (these fonts have a file size of

   0 kilobytes).

4. Close the renamed ("Fonts Temp") folder.

This may happen when you choose the On Top button to display the Help

window while you work in Word. It does not happen if you turn off the On

Top feature.

This is a display problem only; it does not affect your document.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

========

If you choose Examples and Demos or Quick Preview from the Help menu, one

the following error messages occurs in Word for the Macintosh if your

computer does not have a HyperCard:

   Word cannot start Examples and Demos.

   Word cannot start Quick Preview.

CAUSE

=====

The above error message does not explain that the Word examples and

demonstrations (the tutorial) do not run unless a HyperCard is installed in

your Macintosh. If you choose the Help button in the error message dialog

box, Word displays a "No Help available" message, which also does not

explain why the error occurred.

When you install the examples and demonstrations on a computer with no

HyperCard, Word Setup does not notify you that you cannot run the examples

Background Repagination Can't Be Turned Off in Word 6.0

Article ID: Q120106

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a and 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0, the Background Repagination option is selected and is

unavailable (dimmed) to clear, or disable. (To locate this option, choose

Options from the Tools menu, and select the General tab.)

CAUSE

=====

This behavior occurs because you are viewing the current document in page

layout view. By design, page layout view requires that Background

Repagination be selected--that is, be turned on--because Word must show the

page breaks correctly.

RESOLUTION

==========

To turn off Background Repagination, change the document view to normal,

outline, or master document view.

Word Unexpectedly Quits While Modifying AutoCorrect Entry

Article ID: Q120107

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you add or modify an AutoCorrect entry, Word for the Macintosh

unexpectedly quits (in other words, the application closes).

CAUSE

=====

Word may quit if you paste more than 31 characters in the Replace or With

boxes under Replace Text As You Type in the Tools AutoCorrect dialog box.

When you type (rather than paste) in the box, Word beeps and prevents you

from typing more than 31 characters, so this problem does not occur when

you create or modify the AutoCorrect entry manually. However, Word does not

prevent you from trying to insert more than 31 characters in this box when

you paste the characters from the Clipboard.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

Merged Documents Do Not Start on a New Page

Article ID: Q120109

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Your new mail merge document does not start each form letter on a new page.

Each record is merged immediately after the previous record, and Word does

not insert a page break between each form letter. Instead, Word inserts a

soft page break when each page of the resulting merge is full.

This behavior differs from Word version 2.x, which disregarded the

Section Start setting and always used a Next Page section break.

CAUSE

=====

Your main document is one section, defined as Continuous.

By default, the Section Start is set to New Page. If this setting is

changed to Continuous, Word will use Continuous section breaks to separate

the merged documents instead of Next Page section breaks.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Modify your main document so that the section starts on a new page. To do

this:

1. Open the main document.

2. From the File menu, choose Document Layout.

3. Select the Layout tab.

4. From the Section Start list, select New Page. Choose the OK button.

5. Repeat your merge.

NOTE: In Word 6.0, if you want to create a merged document that contains

multiple records per page, choose the Catalog option when creating your

mail merge main document.

Using WordBasic to Calculate a Square Root

Article ID: Q120137

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

To calculate the square root of a number in a Microsoft WordBasic macro,

use the ToolsCalculate statement. For example, to find out the square root

of 9, use the following WordBasic instruction:

    x = ToolsCalculate("9^0.5")

The result, in this case the number 3, is assigned to the x variable. The

following macro example posts the number 8 on the Word status bar (the

square root of 64 is 8).

Sub MAIN

x = ToolsCalculate("64^0.5")

Print x

End Sub

The ^ character is a mathematical operator used for powers and roots.

MacWord Setup: "Remove All" Leaves Some Files on the Hard Disk

Article ID: Q120140

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you run the Word 6.0 Setup installation maintenance program and choose

the Remove All button to uninstall Word for the Macintosh, Setup does not

remove all the installed files from your hard disk.

CAUSE

=====

By design, Setup leaves the shared applications and files it installed in

your Microsoft folder. Setup also leaves system items such as fonts,

settings files, and the Registration Database.

Word Setup does not remove the items listed below from your hard disk when

you choose the Remove All installation option. (Setup installs all these

items if you run a Complete or Typical installation; if you run a Custom

installation, Setup installs only those that relate to the features you

select.)

MacWord Setup Repeatedly Requests the Same Disk

Article ID: Q120142

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run Setup to install Word for the Macintosh, Setup may repeatedly

prompt you to insert a specific disk, even though you already inserted the

correct disk in the disk drive.

CAUSE

=====

There are two main causes for this behavior. Case 1 below is the most

frequent cause.

Case 1: Disk Volume Label Changed

---------------------------------

You did not start your Macintosh without extensions, so an extension is

running that interferes with automatic disk ejection. (To start without

extensions, hold down the SHIFT key when you start the Macintosh. When you

see the message "Welcome to Macintosh Extensions Off," you can release the

SHIFT key.)

If your Macintosh does not eject the first Word Setup disk automatically

and you eject it manually using a paper clip, your computer retains the

internal volume label for the first disk (in this case, "Disk - 1 Setup").

When you insert the second disk, the computer changes the volume label for

that disk from "Disk - 2" to "Disk 1 - Setup." As a result, you no longer

have a disk with the label that Setup is requesting. Setup continues to

conclude that you inserted the wrong disk and continues to request the

correct disk.

If you ejected the first Word Setup disk by pressing COMMAND+SHIFT+1, Setup

may accept the disks you insert for awhile. Then, if Setup prompts you to

switch back and forth between two or more disks, it may mistakenly conclude

that you inserted the wrong disk in the disk drive. At that point, Setup

repeatedly requests the same disk, even though the correct disk is in the

disk drive.

If you now quit Setup and restart your Macintosh without extensions, the

problem recurs because the internal volume label on your Word disk has been

changed. In other words, none of your Word disks has the internal volume

label that Setup is requesting.

Case 2: Misaligned Floppy Disk Drive

------------------------------------

Your floppy disk drive may be physically misaligned. In other words, this

is a hardware problem. This happens infrequently (it accounts for less than

5 percent of the reported instances of this problem).

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Setup program for Word

version 6.0 for the Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will

post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes

available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Case 1: Rename the Internal Disk Volume

---------------------------------------

1. Quit Word Setup.

2. Insert the disk that Setup will not accept in the disk drive.

3. Rename the disk volume to a different name. For example, change its name

   to "Wrong Disk" (without the quotation marks).

4. Click on the hard drive name to exit edit-name mode. The internal disk

   label for your Word disk is now changed to the new name you typed, such

   as "Wrong Disk."

5. Click again on the Word Setup disk whose name you changed in steps 3 and

   4 above. Rename the disk volume to the correct name. For example, if it

   is Word Disk 2, change the name to "Disk - 2" (without the quotation

   marks).

6. Click on the hard drive name again to exit edit-name mode. The internal

   disk label of your Word disk is now correct.

7. Restart your Macintosh without extensions.

8. Run Word Setup. The problem should no longer occur.

Case 2: Repair Your Floppy Disk Drive

-------------------------------------

If the workaround for Case 1 does not work, you may have a misaligned

floppy drive that needs to be repaired by your hardware service provider.

MacWord Setup Creates Two Registration Databases

Article ID: Q120143

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run Setup to install Word for the Macintosh, it creates the

following two registration database documents in the System:Preferences

folder:

   Registration Database

   PPC Registration Database

CAUSE

=====

By design, Setup creates two registration databases. The Registration

Database file is for a 68K Macintosh, while the PPC Registration Database

file is for a PowerPC. Setup installs both files--regardless of the machine

you have--for compatibility, in case you upgrade your Macintosh to a

PowerPC.

Any registration changes are written to both registration database files,

so both files are always up-to-date.

MORE INFORMATION

================

If you do not have a PowerPC, you do not need the PPC Registration

Database, so you can delete it. If you later upgrade to a PowerPC, Word

will automatically create a new PPC Registration Database file in the

System:Preferences folder. Likewise, if you delete your Registration

Database file, Word creates a new one.

Cancelling Setup Does Not Remove Already-Installed Files

Article ID: Q120224

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you start Setup and then cancel it before it finishes installing Word

for the Macintosh, Setup does not remove the files it has already installed

on your hard disk.

This behavior differs from that of Word 5.x for the Macintosh, in which

Setup removes all the files it placed on your hard disk whenever you cancel

Setup prematurely.

CAUSE

=====

By design, Setup does not undo your Word installation when you cancel

Setup. As a result, you can restart Setup to resume your Word installation

where you left off, so you don't need to start over.

If you cancel Setup, the following message appears:

   Setup is not yet complete. If you cancel setup now, your new

   software will not be installed properly.

If you choose the Cancel Setup button, the following message appears to

notify you that only a portion of Word has been installed on your computer:

   Microsoft Word 6.0 Setup was interrupted before your new software

   could be fully installed. You can run Microsoft Word 6.0 Setup again

   in its entirety at a later time to complete the installation.

What to Do Before You Run Setup Again

-------------------------------------

If you cancel Word Setup and then want to run it again, you should first

check your System:Preferences folder for a Registration Database file. If

Setup did not create this file, you can simply run Setup again to resume

the installation where it left off.

If Setup created a Registration Database file in your System:Preferences

folder before you canceled the first time, you need to delete the

Registration Database file before you run Setup again. (This ensures that

no partially installed files remain on your hard disk.)

Setup Error Message: "Not Enough Memory to Continue MacSetup"

Article ID: Q120225

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, version 5.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run Setup to install Word for the Macintosh, the following error

message may appear:

   Not enough memory to continue "MacSetup" - try increasing "MacSetup"

   memory and try again.

CAUSE

=====

Microsoft has reproduced this problem with the Alarm Clock and Movie Player

running in the background. The above error message is misleading, because

no file named "MacSetup" exists.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Before you run Setup to install Word for the Macintosh, you must restart

your Macintosh without extensions, and no other programs should be running.

(To start without extensions, hold down the SHIFT key when you start the

Macintosh. When you see the message "Welcome to Macintosh Extensions Off,"

you can release the SHIFT key.)

Start Time of PowerMac Version Longer Than 68K Version

Article ID: Q120231

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word 6.0 for the Macintosh optimized for the Power Macintosh takes longer

to start than the version that runs on other Macintosh computers when both

versions are run on a Power Macintosh.

CAUSE

=====

Code optimized for the PowerMac is much larger than code for other

Macintosh computers, so it takes longer to load into the computer's memory.

Startup speed of the native version (specifically designed for the

PowerMac) takes approximately 20 percent longer than versions running in

emulation mode. However, the native version provides better performance

once Word is running. The native version starts slower because the .EXE is

larger (PPC specific code) and can't delay loading OLE, libraries, the

Speller, and so forth.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Power Macintosh uses Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC)

technology, and other Macintosh computers use Complex Instruction Set

Computer (CISC) technology. The difference between these two types is that

the microprocessor in the computer understands either a large or small set

of instructions. This difference doesn't limit either computer in the tasks

it can do; it only changes how the code is written to do the same thing.

For example, suppose a CISC doesn't understand any mathematical

instructions except "ADD." To do multiplication, you would have to do

addition several times. The benefit of using RISC is that if the computer

uses fewer instructions, it can complete all of the instructions much

faster because the computer takes less time to interpret the instructions.

Therefore, adding multiple times is actually faster than doing true

multiplication.

Word Unexpectedly Quits While Modifying Font Name

Article ID: Q120232

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you modify a font name, Word for the Macintosh unexpectedly quits

(that is, the application closes) or hangs (stop responding).

CAUSE

=====

Word may quit or hang if you try to paste more than 31 characters in the

Format Font dialog box. When you type (rather than paste) in the box, Word

beeps and prevents you from typing more than 31 characters, so this problem

does not occur when you modify the Font entry manually. However, Word does

not prevent you from trying to insert more than 31 characters in this box

when you paste the characters from the Clipboard.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem Word version 6.0 for

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you paste text in Font box in the Format Font dialog box, be sure you do

not paste more than 31 characters for the Font name.

Print Status Dialog Box Does Not Indicate Total Pages

Article ID: Q120233

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

- Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The first line in the Print Status dialog box misleads you to believe that

when you print from Word, the total number of pages in the document will be

displayed (for example, "Now Printing Page 1 of..."). However, the total

number of pages does not display.

STATUS

======

The word "of" is misleading on the first line. The line should not read

"Now Printing Page 1 of <total#>", but instead, is intended to be read with

the document name on the second line. For example, "Now Printing Page 1 of

'BOOK.DOC'." To avoid confusion, Microsoft will correct this problem in a

future release.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Print Status dialog box should identify four key pieces of information:

 - The page number currently printing

 - The document's name

 - The printer driver being used

 - The share name or port (Windows and Windows NT only)

Instead, the following dialog box is displayed on the Macintosh:

   Now Printing Page 1 of

   '<document name>' on the

   <name of printer driver>

And the following dialog box is displayed under Windows or Windows NT:

   Now Printing Page 1 of

Tall Adjusted and 50-Percent Reduction Not Available in Word

Article ID: Q120234

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use the ImageWriter driver, the Tall Adjusted and 50% Reduction

options are not available (are dimmed) in the Special Effects section of

the Page Setup dialog box.

This is not a problem with the ImageWriter driver supplied with QuickDraw

GX.

CAUSE

=====

Word passes the selected information in the Special Effects section of the

Page Setup dialog box incorrectly to the driver.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

Changing to Landscape Orientation Causes Short Pause

Article ID: Q120235

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, a pause (a "time-out" before you get control

back [that is, get a blinking cursor]) may occur under any of the following

circumstances:

 - Changing to landscape orientation in the Page Setup dialog box.

 - Opening a document that has a section in landscape orientation.

 - Changing the printer driver in the Chooser and switching back to Word.

   (The pause may seem as if Word temporarily hangs.)

CAUSE

=====

Word 6.0 evaluates the available fonts after you change the orientation to

landscape or change the printer driver. The more fonts you have, the longer

the pause, as the pause length is directly proportional to the number of

fonts you have installed on your machine.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Removing extra unnecessary fonts alleviates this problem because the

problem is directly proportional to the number of fonts you have installed

on the system.

Once you change the orientation, Word caches this information so that this

pause will not occur again within the session in Word.

Each time you change drivers, however, the pause will occur.

COMMAND+SHIFT+ARROW Doesn't Select Words in Some Dialog Boxes

Article ID: Q120277

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In some Word for the Macintosh dialog boxes (such as the Tools Envelopes

And Labels dialog box on the Envelopes tab), you cannot select a word in a

text box by pressing COMMAND+SHIFT+LEFT ARROW or COMMAND+SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW.

This does not happen in Word for Windows.

CAUSE

=====

This happens in the text box of any dialog box that is NOT an editable Rich

Text Edit (RTE) dialog box. For example, the Insert Caption, Mark Citation,

Mark Index Entry, and the Envelopes tab of the Tools Envelopes And Labels

dialog box are not editable RTE dialog boxes.

By contrast, word selection works in an editable RTE dialog box (such as

the Labels tab of the Tools Envelopes and Labels dialog box).

Note: In an editable RTE dialog box, you can apply multiple font formats

and see the results of the formatting in the dialog box. For more

information about RTE dialog boxes, please see the following article in the

Word ErrMsg: "A Field Calculation Error Occurred in Record..."

Article ID: Q120278

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word for Windows

----------------

The error message "A field calculation error occurred in record #" (where #

is every record number) may appear when you use an IF field to include

files whose names are specified in other merge fields, and any of the merge

fields specified is blank.

The following is a sample statement that will exhibit this problem

   {IF {MERGEFIELD contribution} > 1000 {INCLUDETEXT {MERGEFIELD thanks}}

   {INCLUDETEXT {MERGEFIELD give_more}} }

where "thanks" and "give_more" are fields in the data document that contain

names of files to be included, and either of the fields is blank.

Word for the Macintosh

----------------------

In Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, when using an INCLUDETEXT field to include a

document, if the path is not enclosed by quotation marks, the error message

"A field calculation error occurred in record #" will appear. The following

is an example that will give the error:

   {IF {MERGEFIELD No} > 1 "{INCLUDETEXT Mac HD:Desktop Folder:Doc 1}

   "{INCLUDETEXT Mac HD:Desktop Folder:Doc 2}" }

Also, if there are any extra spaces in the path statement, the same error

will appear. In the example above, if there is a space inserted after

either ":" (colon), the error will appear, regardless of whether the

quotation marks are used.

CAUSE

=====

This happens because of the order in which fields are updated. Innermost

fields are updated first, and they are updated from left to right. Thus,

{MERGEFIELD thanks} is the first field evaluated. If it is blank, Word

cannot finish evaluating the field. If it contains text but {MERGEFIELD

give_more} does not, the IF field still cannot be evaluated.

WORKAROUND

==========

Change the data document to always refer to two files. Create a file with

just one character in it, and refer to this field in the previously blank

field of the data document.

For example, create a new file and type one character in it. Save the file

as BLANK.DOC. In those records that don't contain any typing in the Thanks

field, type BLANK.DOC. In those records that don't contain typing in the

give_more field, type BLANK.DOC. Word can update both merge fields and will

include the correct file.

Formatting a Combination of 5- and 9-Digit ZIP Codes

Article ID: Q120279

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When your data document contains a mixture of five-digit and nine-digit ZIP

Codes, you can use a field in Word to format ZIP Codes if they do not

contain hyphens. This field is useful when your data comes from another

data source and doesn't contain hyphens in the nine-digit ZIP Codes. This

field will operate whether the data document does or does not contain

hyphens.

RESOLUTION

==========

Use the following field:

   {IF {=ABS({MERGEFIELD zip \# "####'-'#####"}) }<> {MERGEFIELD zip}

   {MERGEFIELD zip \# "0####'-'####"} {MERGEFIELD zip}}

NOTES:

Be sure that each record contains a ZIP Code; otherwise, you'll get an

error message for that record.

You can change the merge field name from "ZIP" to something else, but

nothing else in the formula can be changed.

The formatting of the first merge field has four number signs followed

by five number signs. This appears incorrect but is necessary for the

calculation that takes place.

Note that single quotation marks surround the hyphens.

How the Field Works

-------------------

The ZIP field is placed in the main document with a hyphen so that

the formula can operate on it. Its absolute value is taken, which

converts the number to a positive value. This new number is compared

to the literal ZIP Code. If the numbers differ, it's a nine-digit

code and this is printed, with formatting to keep any leading zeros.

If the calculated number is different from the literal ZIP Code, the ZIP

Code is printed as is.

Cross Reference to Caption Includes Too Much Text

Article ID: Q120280

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you place a caption on the same line as an embedded object, the

entire paragraph will be included when you insert a cross-reference to the

caption's label and number.

For example, if you have an embedded equation on the left and a caption on

the right

     y = mx + b                    Equation 3.7

then when you insert a cross-reference and select Label And Number, Word

will repeat the line shown above, rather than inserting just

"Equation 3.7".

CAUSE

=====

When Word inserts a cross-reference to a caption, it places a bookmark on

the entire paragraph. If the paragraph contains more than the equation, the

equation is included in the cross-reference.

Note: If you are not using AutoCaption, you can place a caption on

the same line as an equation by placing the insertion point to the

right of the equation, and choosing Insert Caption. If you are using

AutoCaption, you cannot place the caption next to the equation; it

must go either above or below the equation. Once the caption is in

place, however, you can move it to the right of the equation by

deleting the paragraph mark in the equation's paragraph.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Create a two-column, one-row table and place the equation on one

          side and the caption in the other.

Method 2: Insert a bookmark and cross-reference the manually applied

          bookmark:

          a. Select the caption, being sure to include only the caption

             and not the equation.

          b. From the Edit menu, choose Bookmark.

          c. Type a name for the equation. Use a descriptive name so that

             if you rearrange the equations, you'll be able to remember

             which bookmark is which.

          d. Choose OK.

          e. Place the insertion point where you want the cross-reference.

             From the Insert menu, choose Cross-Reference.

          f. In the Reference Type list, select Bookmark.

          g. In the Insert Reference To list, select Reference Text.

          h. In the For Which Bookmark list, select the bookmark name you

             gave to the equation.

          i. Choose OK.

Cannot Resize Objects in Converted Word 2.x Documents

Article ID: Q120281

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Embedded objects in documents you convert from Word version 2.x for Windows

either do not respond to changes made in their size or they respond

incorrectly.

Specifically, any of the following behaviors may occur:

 - When you drag a corner of a Microsoft Graph object or a Microsoft

   WordArt object with the mouse, the object returns to its original size

   when you release the mouse button.

 - If you change the scaling by choosing Picture from the Format menu, the

   dimensions of the object may change drastically. After changing the

   scaling percentage, a different size is shown in the "Original Size"

   area of the Format Picture dialog box. The actual original size is not

   shown.

CAUSE

=====

This problem happens only to those objects that contain the \S switch in

their field codes. In Word 2.x, when you insert a Graph, Microsoft Excel,

or WordArt object, Word inserts "\s" in the field. This switch preserves

the original size of an object; if an object contains the switch in its

field code, you can resize the object using the mouse, but the object will

return to its original size when it is updated.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

1. Select the object.

2. Press SHIFT+F9 to display the field code. For example, a Graph object

   would reveal the following field:

      {EMBED MSGraph \s \* mergeformat}

3. Remove the "\s" from the field.

4. Press SHIFT+F9 to return to the result of the field code.

You can now resize the object.

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you are searching for a footnote, and choose Footnote Mark from the

Special button in the Find dialog box, Word finds only the footnote

references in the document and doesn't find the actual footnotes.

CAUSE

=====

The Search option is set to Down or Up, rather than All.

RESOLUTION

==========

Change the Search option to All. Word will now search the footnote page of

the document, rather than just the body of the document.

Formatting Checker Displays Incorrect Information for Frames

Article ID: Q120283

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you check the formatting of a frame, Word may display incorrect Size

information under Frame Formatting. (To check the formatting of a frame,

choose the Help button on the Standard toolbar or press SHIFT+F1. When the

mouse pointer changes to a question mark, click the frame in your

document.)

CAUSE

=====

If you apply the following Text Wrapping and Size formatting to your frame

   Text Wrapping:       Around

   Width:               Auto

   Height:              At Least 2"

then Word displays the following incorrect width (horizontal) information

when you check the formatting of the frame:

   Size: At Least 2" (horiz.), At Least 2" (vert.)

Note: In Word for the Macintosh, a meaningless square box character

precedes the Size information.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

and 6.0c for Windows and in Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh. We are

researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To check the formatting of a frame, select the frame and then choose Frame

from the Format menu.

Pagebreak inserted when Quickshelf Button Pressed

Article ID: Q120304

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a_CD, 2.0b

   2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Bookshelf for Windows, 1994 edition

---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If the WordPerfect Help option is turned on in Word for Windows,

a page break may be inserted into your document when you choose a

QuickShelf button. If you have a word selected in your document,

the page break will replace the word.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

To solve this problem, disable the Help for WordPerfect users, using the

following steps:

1. From the Tools menu in Word, choose Options.

2. Choose General options.

3. Clear the Help For WordPerfect Users check box.

4. Choose OK.

The following is another workaround:

1. For Word 6.0, add the following line to the WINWORD6.INI file:

      wphelp=0

   -or-

2. For Word 2.0, add the following line to the WINWORD.INI:

      wphelp=0

MORE INFORMATION

================

You should be able to highlight a word and, by pressing a QuickShelf

button, start Bookshelf and perform a search on the word (for

example, to find a definition of it).

However, if the WordPerfect Help option is turned on, a page break

appears, replacing the highlighted word. Bookshelf starts, but does

not search on the word.

Cross-Reference Loses Caption Number After Updating

Article ID: Q120347

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you update the cross-references in a document, Word 6.0 for Windows

loses the caption numbering. The caption label remains, but the caption

number is missing.

CAUSE

=====

Bookmarks for captions change (shrink) to include only the caption label

(instead of the full text of the caption) when you insert new captions

later in the document. Specifically, Word redefines the bookmark so it

includes only the caption label, not the caption number. When you update

cross-references to these captions, the cross-reference includes only the

caption label.

In addition, Word removes the caption number if either of the following is

true:

 - You inserted another caption of the same type before the

   cross-referenced caption.

   -or-

 - There is no text following the cross-referenced caption number.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. This

problem was corrected in version 6.0a of Word for Windows. For information

on obtaining Word 6.0a, see the "How To Obtain Word 6.0a" section at the

end of this article.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem prior to obtaining the Word 6.0a upgrade, use

the following instructions to add a nonbreaking space to the caption text

when you insert it in your Word document:

1. From the Insert menu, choose Caption.

2. Type the caption text in the Caption dialog box, then press

   CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR to insert a nonbreaking space.

NOTE: Any trailing character after the caption number other than a normal

space prevents Word from removing the caption number when you update cross-

references.

Incorrect SECTION Field Result in Text Box

Article ID: Q120349

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you insert a SECTION field in a text box that is located in any section

of a document, the result of the SECTION field is 1 instead of the correct

number. For example, if a text box containing a SECTION field is located in

section 4 of your Word document, the result is 1 instead of 4.

This happens regardless of the type of section breaks your document

contains, and it happens even if you select the SECTION field and press F9

to update it.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c

for Windows and Word 6.0 for the Macintosh. We are researching this problem

and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it

becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

This problem occurs only when the SECTION field is located in a text box.

The result is correct if the SECTION field is located anywhere other than a

text box. Therefore, you can use the following procedure to reference the

correct SECTION field result in your text box:

1. Position the insertion point outside the text box somewhere in the

   section where the text box is located.

2. Insert the SECTION field.

3. Select the SECTION field and then choose Bookmark from the Edit menu.

4. Type a bookmark name and then choose OK.

5. In the text box, insert a REF field that references the bookmark you

   inserted in steps 3 and 4 above.

Error Message: "ToolsProtectDocument Command Is Not Available"

Article ID: Q120350

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following WordBasic error message may occur when you run a macro that

protects a document for forms:

   The ToolsProtectDocument command is not available because the

   document is already protected.

CAUSE

=====

You recorded the macro that protects your document. When you record the

Protect Document command, Word for the Macintosh creates a macro that

contains two ToolsProtectDocument statements. When the second instance of

the statement runs, the above error occurs because the document is already

protected.

In addition, if you continue to record TAB or ENTER keystrokes to move

between form fields after you protect the document, Word places an

"Unrecognized_Statement336" statement in the macro in place of each

keystroke. For example, Word creates the following macro when you turn on

the macro recorder, protect the document, press TAB or ENTER three times to

move between form fields, and then unprotect the document:

Sub MAIN

ToolsProtectDocument .DocumentPassword = "", .NoReset = 0, .Type = 2

ToolsProtectDocument .DocumentPassword = "", .NoReset = 0, .Type = 2

Unrecognized_Statement336

Unrecognized_Statement336

Unrecognized_Statement336

ToolsUnprotectDocument

End Sub

Note: This problem does not occur in Word for Windows because Word for

Windows stops the macro recorder automatically whenever you record the

ToolsProtectDocument statement.

WORKAROUND

==========

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Edit the macro to remove the duplicate ToolsProtectDocument command and

replace the "Unrecognized_Statement336" statements with the appropriate

WordBasic statements. For example, modify the above macro as shown below:

Sub MAIN

ToolsProtectDocument .DocumentPassword = "", .NoReset = 0, .Type = 2

Insert Chr$(9)

Insert Chr$(9)

Insert Chr$(9)

ToolsUnprotectDocument

Word Doesn't Print in Best Quality from ImageWriter

Article ID: Q120352

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print in Best Quality from an Apple ImageWriter from Word 6.0 for

the Macintosh, the resulting output will actually be that of the Faster

mode.

CAUSE

=====

This is caused by a problem in Word that incorrectly passes the selected

information in the Quality section of the Print dialog box to the driver.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Last Continuous Section Break in AutoText Changes to Next Page

Article ID: Q120445

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If the last section break in an AutoText entry is a Continuous section

break, it may become a Next Page section break when you insert it in a Word

for Windows document.

CAUSE

=====

If you insert the AutoText entry in the last section of the document, or if

your document contains only one section, Word changes the AutoText section

break to New Page. If you insert the AutoText entry in a location other

than the last section of the document, the AutoText section break remains

Continuous.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: After you insert the AutoText entry, reformat the section break

          for Continuous by doing the following:

          1. Position the insertion point in the section you want to

             change. That is, position the insertion point below the last

             section break you inserted with the AutoText entry.

          2. From the File menu, choose Page Setup.

          3. Select the Layout tab.

          4. In the Section Start list, select Continuous and then choose

             OK.

Method 2: Insert the AutoText entry above the last section break in your

          document.

Font Problems Using WinWord 6.0 with MS Multimedia Viewer

Article ID: Q120446

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Multimedia Viewer Publishing Toolkit, versions 2.0

   and 2.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you author Microsoft Multimedia Viewer titles in Word 6.0 for Windows

and then compile them with the Viewer compiler supplied with the Microsoft

Multimedia Viewer Publishing Toolkit version 2.0, the fonts are not correct

in the compiled Viewer file.

CAUSE

=====

Word 6.0 modifies the way it saves font information when you save a file in

Rich Text Format (RTF). The Viewer compiler supplied with the Microsoft

Multimedia Viewer Publishing Toolkit version 2.0 does not process the new

font information correctly.

RESOLUTION

==========

You need an updated version of the Viewer compiler, WMVC.EXE. This updated

compiler handles the new font information. It is available as a self-

extracting file from the Microsoft Software Library (MSL) on the following

services:

 - CompuServe

      GO MSL and download WMVCUP.EXE.

 - Microsoft Download Service (MSDL)

      Dial (206) 936-6735 to connect to MSDL.

      Download WMVCUP.EXE.

 - Internet (anonymous FTP)

      ftp ftp.microsoft.com

      Change to the /SOFTLIB/MSLFILES directory.

      Get WMVCUP.EXE.

When you run WMVCUP.EXE, the file WMVC.EXE will be extracted. You should

then copy this file to your MVPUBKIT\MVTOOLS subdirectory.

How to Control the Tabbing Order in a Form

Article ID: Q120447

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

By default, when you fill in an online form, Word positions the insertion

point in the first FORM field and moves from one field to the next in the

form when you press TAB or ENTER. To change the default tabbing order, use

the procedure described in this article.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To change the default tabbing order, assign Exit macros to the FORM fields.

These macros use the EditGoTo WordBasic statement to tell Word which FORM

field to select next.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Method 1: Single Exit Macro for all FORM Fields

-----------------------------------------------

Create a macro similar to sample below and assign it to each FORM field in

your document as an Exit macro. In the Select Case statement, list each

FORM field for which you want to change the tabbing order along with an

EditGoTo statement to tell Word which field to select next.

Sub MAIN

 Dim dlg As FormFieldOptions

 GetCurValues dlg

 n$ = dlg.Name

 Select Case n$

  Case "To"

   EditGoTo .Destination = "From"

  Case "From"

   EditGoTo .Destination = "Subject"

  Case "Subject"

   EditGoTo .Destination = "Header"

  Case  "Header"

   EditGoTo .Destination = "CC"

  Case "CC"

   EditGoTo .Destination = "Memo"

  Case "Memo"

   EditGoTo .Destination = "To"

  Case Else

 End Select

End Sub

Method 2: Separate Macros for Each FORM Field

---------------------------------------------

Alternatively, you can assign a separate Exit macro to each FORM field for

which you want to change the tabbing order. Each macro contains an EditGoTo

statement that moves the insertion point to the desired FORM field.

Tip: To easily identify each macro, give the macro a name that describes

its functionality. For example, give the name "GoToSubject" to the Exit

macro that moves the insertion point to the Subject FORM field.

The following sample Exit macro, named "GoToSubject", moves from the

current FORM field to the "Subject" FORM field:

 Sub Main

  EditGoTo "Subject"

 End Sub

Shadow Border Differences Between Word 5.x and Word 6.0

Article ID: Q120451

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you open a Word 4.0 or 5.x for the Macintosh document in Word 6.0,

shadow borders created in 4.0 or 5.x may have thicker shadows in Word 6.0.

This may cause pagination differences.

CAUSE

=====

Word 6.0 uses the same size shadow line as the line thickness. Therefore, a

3-point shadow line has a 3-point shadow, giving the border line a

total thickness of 6 points. Word 5.x uses a fixed shadow line of 1 point,

so a 3-point line creates a total border thickness of 4 points.

STATUS

======

This behavior is due to a design change that was made to maintain

compatibility with Word for Windows and Word for Windows NT.

RESOLUTION

==========

Instead of using the pre-set shadow border, format the bottom and right

sides of the paragraph/table cell with a border one size larger than the

border used on the top and left sides. This will create a shadow border of

only 1.5 to 1.75 times the width of the thin sides. Word's built-in shadow

border is exactly 2 times the thickness of the thin sides.

To apply a different line thickness, choose Border from the Format menu,

click the right and bottom sides of the model, and apply a border one size

larger than is used on left and top.

This could also be done with a WordBasic macro such as the example below.

This example applies a .75-point border to the top and left sides of the

paragraph and a 1.5-point border to the bottom and right sides.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR

OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of

any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the

implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular

purpose.

In Word, create a new macro, and enter the following:

2, .RightBorder = 2

Using MS PowerPoint to Save Word Drawing Objects as WMFs

Article ID: Q120572

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b,

   2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Draw version 1.0

 - Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, version 4.0

 - Microsoft Office for Windows, versions 4.0, 4.2, 4.3

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you create a Word 6.0 Picture Object or a Microsoft Draw version 1.0

object, that object is dependent on the Word document in which you embedded

it. By design, neither object can exist independent of a container

document, so you cannot create a link to the object, nor can you embed it

in other documents without opening the container document and copying the

object.

Note: Microsoft Draw is the OLE drawing application supplied with Word 2.x.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use the following procedure to convert a Word 6.0 Picture Object or a

Microsoft Draw object to a Windows Metafile (WMF) graphic using Microsoft

PowerPoint:

Note: You can use this procedure to convert other pictures to .WMF format

as well.

 1. In Word, open the document that contains the embedded drawing object.

 2. Double-click the object to activate it in the picture editor.

 3. Select the entire drawing. To do this in Word 6.0, choose the Select

    Drawing Objects button on the Drawing toolbar and then drag to create

    a rectangle that encloses all the elements of the drawing object. In

    Microsoft Draw, use the Arrow tool.

 4. In Word 6.0, choose the Group button on the Drawing toolbar to group

    the elements of the drawing object together as a single unit. To do

    this in Microsoft Draw, choose Group from the Draw menu.

 5. Note the size (length and width) of the drawing object.

 6. With the drawing object selected, choose Cut or Copy from the Edit

    menu.

 7. Start Microsoft PowerPoint.

 8. In PowerPoint, create a new presentation using the Blank Presentation

    option.

    Note: You can select any Auto Layout option.

 9. From the File menu, choose Slide Setup.

10. Change the Height and Width settings to those you noted in step 5

    above. Choose OK.

11. From the Edit menu, choose Paste.

12. The drawing object should now appear in the slide. If it does not fill

    the slide, drag the corner sizing handles to scale the object to fill

    the slide.

13. From the File menu, choose Save As.

14. In the Save File As Type box, select Windows Metafile.

15. Type a name for the graphic and then choose OK.

16. Quit PowerPoint. You can create links using the .WMF file you created.

Note: When you insert this .WMF graphic in a Word document, the default

size of the graphic is the size you specified in step 10 above.

Word 6.0c for Windows: List of Fixed Problems

Article ID: Q120573

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0c for Windows was created primarily to provide support for Lotus

Notes Field Exchange (FX); however, a few problems were also corrected or

addressed. This article describes the new Lotus Notes/FX support and

problems in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows that are corrected in

the Word 6.0c upgrade.

If you are experiencing one of the problems listed below or want to take

advantage of the added Lotus Notes/FX support, you should obtain Word 6.0c.

WORD 6.0C: NEW FEATURES

=======================

 - Support for Lotus Notes Field Exchange (FX) (includes new online

   Help topics)

WORD 6.0C: FIXED PROBLEMS

=========================

1. Some master document problems corrected (includes updated online Help)

2. Word 2.x templates updated and improved for Word 6.0

3. Support for Word 6.0 for the Macintosh PICT graphic format

4. WordBasic errors in Word for the Macintosh running Word for the

   Macintosh macro that has been edited in Word for Windows

WORD 6.0C: NEW FEATURES

=======================

Support for Lotus Notes Field Exchange (FX)

-------------------------------------------

Word 6.0c supports Lotus Notes/FX and includes extensive online Help about

this new functionality.

If Lotus Notes version 3.0 is installed on your computer, the Word Setup

program modifies your Notes configuration so Notes can open Word documents.

With Word 6.0c, you can import a Word document into Lotus Notes, and you

can also export Lotus Notes text in Microsoft Word Rich Text Format (RTF).

Once you embed a Word document in a Lotus Notes form, you can display

predefined Word fields. Most of the predefined Word fields that Lotus Notes

can display are found in the summary information for the Word document. For

example, you can create fields within a Lotus Notes form that display the

title and author of the Word document.

You can also create Word bookmarks that Lotus Notes can use as fields. For

example, you can define a bookmark that marks some important text in your

Word document. Give the bookmark a name using prop_ as a prefix and then

use the bookmark name (without the prefix) as a field in a Lotus Notes form

or views of the form. The bookmarked text now appears in Lotus Notes

without opening the Word document object. If you change the text in either

the Word object or Lotus Notes, the change will be reflected in both

applications. In other words, changes in Word are reflected in the Lotus

Notes field and changes in Lotus Notes field are reflected in the embedded

Word object.

For more information about using Lotus Notes with Word 6.0c double-click

the Help button on the Standard toolbar, and then type "lotus notes"

(without the quotation marks).

WORD 6.0 AND 6.0A PROBLEMS CORRECTED IN WORD 6.0C

=================================================

1. Some master document problems corrected (includes updated online Help)

   ----------------------------------------------------------------------

   Due to a Windows system limitation, in Word 6.0 or 6.0a, when you save a

   master document that contains many (usually around 30 or more)

   subdocuments, one of the following error messages may occur:

      Word cannot save or create this file. Make sure the disk is not

      write protected.

      -or-

      The disk is full or too many files are open.

   The File Save operation fails when the supply of available Windows file

   handles is exhausted. As a safeguard, Word temporarily renames your

   documents with temporary filenames during the save operation. Normally,

   the temporary files are then properly renamed back to the original

   document names once the save operation is complete. When the File Save

   operation fails due to a lack of Windows file handles, however, one or

   more of the subdocument temporary files may not get renamed to the

   original document name. While the subdocument still exists as a

   temporary file, it appears to be deleted because Word cannot locate it.

   IMPORTANT: This problem occurs due to a Windows system file handle

   limitation. This problem may not occur in Word 6.0 for other operating

   systems, such as Word 6.0 for the Macintosh.

   Word 6.0c partially fixes this problem. In Word 6.0c for Windows, a

   master document may still exhaust the supply of available Windows file

   handles. However, when you save, Word 6.0c checks the number of

   available file handles as it performs the save and displays an error

   message if it cannot save the next subdocument due to insufficient

   available file handles. Word then asks if you want to collapse some of

   the subdocuments into the master document. (This is the same as choosing

   the Remove Subdocument button on the Master Document toolbar.) If you

   choose Yes, Word collapses subdocuments into the master document until

   enough file handles are available to save the master document and the

   remaining subdocuments. By moving the contents of some subdocuments to

   the master document, Word prevents the appearance of data loss that may

   occur in Word 6.0 and 6.0a.

   Word collapses subdocuments in the following order:

   1. Word removes the most deeply nested subdocuments first.

   2. Word starts removing subdocuments at the end of the master document

      and  works upward to the beginning.

   3. Word removes unsaved subdocuments or subdocuments whose file handles

      are only referenced first by the subdocument.

   Note: If Word 6.0c cannot remove enough subdocuments to successfully

   save the document, the save operation fails.

   Documentation Error: Page 534 of the Word for Windows "User's Guide"

   incorrectly states that the maximum number of subdocuments is 80. For

   most systems and most master documents, this maximum is closer to 30

   subdocuments, depending on both the state of the system at the time and

   the complexity of the document.

2. Word 2.x letter templates updated and improved for Word 6.0

   -----------------------------------------------------------

   Word 6.0c includes some of the templates supplied with Word 2.x,

   converted to Word 6.0 format. These converted letter and memo templates

   run without the known errors that occur when you run the unconverted

   Word 2.x templates in Word 6.0. They use the address lists and other

   custom settings you created in Word 2.x by copying them from the Word

   2.x templates into the updated Word 6.0 templates. Below are the names

   of the converted Word 2.x templates supplied with Word 6.0c:

      Template Filename       Description

3. Support for Word 6.0 for the Macintosh PICT graphic format

   ----------------------------------------------------------

   In Word 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows, if you open a Word 6.0 for the

   Macintosh document that contains a graphic, the following message

   appears in place of the image:

      Use Word 6.0c or later to view Macintosh picture.

   Word version 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows can neither display nor print a

   PICT graphic in a converted Word 6.0 for the Macintosh document. Word

   version 6.0c correctly displays and prints PICT graphics.

   For more information, please see the following articles in the Microsoft

   Knowledge Base:

      ARTICLE-ID: Q118830

      TITLE     : Exchanging Files Between MacWord 6.0 and WinWord 6.0

      ARTICLE-ID: Q116258

      TITLE     : "Use Word 6.0c or Later to View Macintosh Picture."

4. WordBasic Errors in Word for the Macintosh Running Word for the

   Macintosh Macro that Has Been Edited in Word for Windows

   ---------------------------------------------------------------

   The following problem is partially fixed in Word 6.0c:

   If you edit and save a cross-platform macro in Word 6.0 and 6.0a for

   Windows, Word for Windows deletes Macintosh-specific commands (such as

   MacID$) from the macro. For example, if you open and edit, then save

   changes to the following cross-platform macro in Word 6.0 or 6.0a for

   Windows,

   Sub MAIN

    a$ = MacID$("TEXT")

   End Sub

   the macro appears as shown below when you open it in Word for the

   Macintosh (notice that the Macintosh-specific MacID$ command is

   missing):

   Sub MAIN

    a$ = ("TEXT")

   End Sub

   In other words, Word 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows delete unknown Macintosh

   commands from your macros when you edit, or "dirty," them in Word 6.0

   and 6.0a for Windows.

   Word 6.0c does not delete unknown commands from your macros when you

   edit them. Instead of deleting the Macintosh-specific command, Word 6.0c

   replaces it with an "Unrecognized_Command" string, or token. For

   example, if you create the following macro in Word 6.0 or 6.0a for

   Windows,

   Sub Main

    a$ = MacID$("TEXT")

   End Sub

   save and close the macro, and then re-open it in Word 6.0c for Windows,

   the macro will be changed to the following:

   Sub Main

    a$ = Unrecognized_Statement33134("TEXT")

   End Sub

   Note: "33134" is the token identification number for the "MacID$"

   command. Word 6.0c for Windows does not automatically replace the token

   ID with the Macintosh-specific WordBasic token command. To restore the

   Macintosh token IDs so your macro will run without errors in Word for

   the Macintosh, you must "dirty" the macro in Word for the Macintosh

   (that is, you must change the macro before you run it).

   In other words, while Word 6.0c for Windows no longer deletes any

   unrecognized commands, it still does not automatically change the token

   IDs back to Macintosh-specific WordBasic commands in your macro. To work

   around this limitation when you create a cross-platform macro in Word

   6.0c for Windows, be sure to dirty the macro once in Word 6.0 for the

   Macintosh. You can then distribute your cross-platform macro, and it

   will run without missing-token errors.

5. Multiple-Page Table Rows Print Incorrectly (Display Correctly)

   --------------------------------------------------------------

   The following Word 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows problem is corrected in Word

   6.0c:

   In Word 6.0 and 6.0a, text from a table row that spans a page break may

   print again in the bottom margin of the preceding page. Specifically, if

   one or more cells in a table row span a page break and if the table row

   also contains a cell on the right side of the page-spanning cell that is

   blank or does not span the page break, text from the following page

   sometimes prints in the bottom margin. For example, if cell B spans the

   page break between pages 3 and 4 and cell C is only one line long on

   page 3, the column B text at the top of page 4 also prints in the bottom

   margin of page 3.

   IMPORTANT: Word 6.0c does not address a similar problem that you can

   resolve by turning off the Background Printing option. To determine

   whether you need Word 6.0c, turn off Background Printing, and then print

   your document. If text continues to print in the bottom margin of the

   previous page, you should obtain Word 6.0c. If the problem no longer

   occurs after you turn off Background Printing, your problem is not

   addressed in Word 6.0c.

   This problem does not occur in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh.

   Knowledge Base:

      TITLE     : Multiple-Page Table Rows May Display or Print Incorrectly

6. Includes Word Optimization Document: SPEEDUP.DOC

   ------------------------------------------------

   Word 6.0c includes a new document, SPEEDUP.DOC, which contains the

   recently published "How to Optimize the Performance of Word 6.0"

   Application Note (WD1015). SPEEDUP.DOC describes how you can increase

   the operating speed of Word 6.0 for Windows when it is running under

   Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups version 3.1 or

   3.11. (Word Setup installs SPEEDUP.DOC in the Word for Windows program

   directory.)

7. Updated File Converters and Graphics Filters

   --------------------------------------------

   Word 6.0c provides the following updated file converters:

    - WordPerfect and DisplayWrite.

    - Word 6.0 for Windows. (This is the converter other applications use

      to read Word 6.0 documents.)

    - RFT-DCA.

   For more information about updated file converters, please see the

   following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

      ARTICLE-ID: Q120462

      TITLE     : WordPerfect 5.x Converter Enhancements in WinWord 6.0c

Word 6.0c includes updated .BMP, .TIF, .PCX, .GIF, and .TGA graphics

filters. No new graphics filters are provided.

The table below lists the major problems fixed by the updated graphics

filters.

                       and cannot be converted.

                    This problem may not occur if the graphic file is

                    compressed and larger than 500K or uncompressed

                    and smaller than 500K. The .TIF graphics filter

                    supplied with Word 6.0 and 6.0a has problems

                    reading file sizes less than 500K. The above error

                    does not occur when you use the .TIF graphic filter

                    supplied with Word 6.0c.

                       This graphics file may be damaged

                       and cannot be converted.

MacWord 6.0: Summary of Known Third-Party Extension Conflicts

Article ID: Q120621

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article lists third-party extensions that are known to conflict with

the operation of Word for the Macintosh.

For information on troubleshooting extension conflicts and isolating a

problem extension, please see the following article(s) in the Microsoft

Knowledge Base:

   ARTICLE-ID: Q122009

   TITLE     : MacWord 6.0: Optimizing Your Mac System Configuration

Extension conflicts with Word can be diagnosed by pressing the SHIFT key

while the machine is booting. The first dialog will display:

   Welcome to the Macintosh

   Extensions Off

Start Word and try to reproduce the problem. If the problem with Word is

resolved, it is probably a problem with third party extension.

ADOBE TYPE REUNION 1.1, 1.2

===========================

Manufacturer: Adobe Systems, Inc.

There are three known problems that can occur when you run Word 6.0 for the

Macintosh with Adobe Type Reunion 1.1 or 1.2 installed:

Font Grouping

-------------

Adobe Type Reunion 1.1 or 1.2 may fail to group the fonts in the Font list

on the Formatting toolbar in Word. This happens because the Recently Used

File (MRU, or Most Recently Used) List prevents Type Reunion from modifying

the font list. Use either of the following two workarounds for this

problem:

Workaround 1: Workaround 1: If you turn on the NoFontMRUList setting in

              your ToolsAdvancedSettings, Adobe Type Reunion groups the

              fonts in the Font list. Use the following procedure to turn

              on this Advanced Setting in Word:

              a. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

              b. From the Macros Available In list, select Word Commands.

              c. In the Macro Name box, select ToolsAdvancedSettings, and

                 then choose the Run button.

              d. In the Option box, type "NoFontMRUList" (without the

                 quotation marks).

              e. In the Setting box, type "Y" (without the quotation

                 marks). Choose the Set button and then choose OK.

Workaround 2: Adobe Type Reunion functions correctly if you add a Font menu

              to your Word 6.0 menu bar. Use the following steps to add a

              Font menu in Word:

              a. Open the 5.1 Upgrade template, which is located in the

                 Macros folder.

              b. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

              c. Run the macro AddFontMenu.

              d. Choose Yes to confirm the menu change.

Font Drop-Down List

-------------------

With Adobe Type Reunion installed on your computer, if you move the

Formatting toolbar to a location other than its anchored position at the

top of the Word screen, Word may continue to display the Font drop-down

list in the original location--that is, where it would appear if the

Formatting toolbar were still anchored at the top of the Word screen. In

other words, the Font drop-down list does not seem to be "attached" to the

Font box on the Formatting toolbar if that toolbar is floating or anchored

elsewhere.

This happens if the NoFontMRUList setting is turned off in your

WINWORD6.INI file. To work around this problem, turn on the NoFontMRUList

setting using the instructions in Workaround 1 of the "Font Grouping"

section above in this article.

Incorrect Font Applied

----------------------

In Word, if Adobe Type Reunion 1.1 or 1.2 is running and the MS LineDraw

TrueType font is installed on your computer, Word may apply the incorrect

font when you select a font from the Font box on the Formatting toolbar. To

resolve this problem, remove the MS LineDraw TrueType font from your Fonts

folder and restart your computer.

BIG THESAURUS 2.0.1 AND COACH PRO 4.0.1

=======================================

Manufacturer: Deneba Software, (305) 596-5644.

An error may occur in Word if you select text for a search in Big Thesaurus

or Coach Pro. Deneba Software is aware of this problem. You can contact

Deneba at the above phone number regarding compatibility issues with Word

6.0 for the Macintosh.

GREG'S BUTTONS 3.1.2 (SHAREWARE)

================================

If you are using Greg's Buttons 3.1.2 when you start Word, the following

error message may occur:

   The application was unable to start due to an error. Please contact

   customer support.

After you choose OK, Word may hang (stop responding). To resolve this

problem, obtain a later version of Greg's Buttons that is compatible with

Word.

MACINTOSH EASY OPEN 1.1

=======================

When you are running the 68K edition of Word 6.0 for the Macintosh,

Macintosh Easy Open 1.1 may not list Microsoft Word as an available

application when you open non-native files (such as text, RTF, or other

file formats). Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the 68K

edition of Word 6.0 for the Macintosh. We are researching this problem and

will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it

becomes available.

NOW UTILITIES 4.0.1

===================

Manufacturer: Now Software.

There are three known problems that may occur when you run Word 6.0 for the

Macintosh with Now Utilities installed. Below is a list of the problems and

the Now Utilities modules that are affected:

Now Menus

---------

With the Now Menus module installed, the Undo (COMMAND+Z) and Repeat

(COMMAND+Y) commands may not work in Word.

Super Boomerang

---------------

If you perform a Re-Launch operation in Super Boomerang, Word may display

the following message:

   Do you want to revert to the saved '<filename>'?

WYSIWYG Menus

-------------

1. With the WYSIWYG Menus Now module active, sometimes more than one font

   at a time is selected on the Font menu (selected fonts have a check

   mark next to the font name).

   NOTE: To add the Font menu in Word 6.0, open the 5.1 Upgrade template,

   located in the Macro folder, and run the AddFontMenu macro.

   IMPORTANT: If you run the AddFontMenu macro with Now's WYSIWYG Menus

   enabled, fonts whose names end with the word "Chancery" may be

   truncated. To avoid this problem, disable WYSIWYG Menus and restart

   your Macintosh before you run the AddFontMenu macro in Word.

2. In addition, if you open the Font menu using the Menu Bar shortcut key

   combination (F10 or COMMAND+TAB), WYSIWYG Menus does not display the

   font names as they will print. For example, a font name such as Times

   does not display in the Times font.

STATUS

======

Now Software has been notified and is investigating the problems. For more

information, contact NOW Software at the following address and phone

OPTIMEM (EARLIER THAN 1.5.6G)

=============================

Manufacturer: Jump Development Group, (412) 681-2692.

If you run a version of Optimem earlier than 1.5.6g, Word may hang (stop

responding) under low memory conditions. Optimem 1.5.6g, which is currently

available from Jump Development Group, corrects this problem. Jump

Development Group plans to release Optimem 2.0 in November or December

1994, which will optimize memory more efficiently when you run Microsoft

desktop applications.

POPCHAR 2.7.1 (SHAREWARE)

=========================

If you are running PopChar 2.7.1 with Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, PopChar

may fail to display the selected font in the Font list on the Formatting

toolbar. This is a known problem for which we have no workaround.

SUPER ATM VERSION 3.6

=====================

Super ATM version 3.6 slows the normal processing time for Word 6.0.

Keyboard input and menu selections are affected. The only available

workaround is to update to a later version of Super ATM.

Exit Macro Does Not Return Insertion Point to Correct Position

Article ID: Q120670

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you use an Exit macro in a protected form document to position the

insertion point into an unprotected section of the document, Word for

Windows positions the insertion point in the next FORM field in your

document. This happens regardless of whether your Exit macro reprotects the

document.

The following macro demonstrates this problem:

 Sub MAIN

  ToolsUnprotectDocument

  LineDown 3

  Insert "Testing"

  ToolsProtectSection .Section=1, .Protect = 1

 End Sub

Notice that Word positions the insertion point in the next FORM field

instead of leaving it after the word "Testing". In addition, you can no

longer insert paragraph marks or tabs in your document, and the BACKSPACE

key does not work. You must close and then reopen your document to regain

full Word functionality.

CAUSE

=====

If your Exit macro re-protects the form document, Word moves to the next

FORM field by design. In a protected document, you can position the

insertion point only in FORM fields.

If, on the other hand, your Exit macro leaves the form document

unprotected, Word's behavior is unexpected.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

and 6.0c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Create an Exit macro that unprotects your document and then calls another

macro to move the insertion point in your document. The following two

sample macros demonstrate this workaround:

CTRL+Left Mouse Click Disabled with MasterWord 6.0

Article ID: Q120673

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Drag-and-drop copying and the Select All command using CTRL+left mouse

click (in the left margin) do not work when you have MasterWord, version

6.0, installed. Drag-and-drop editing is not affected.

CAUSE

=====

MasterWord installs several WLLs (Word Link Libraries). One of these files,

POPSPELL.WLL, is selected automatically when you install MasterWord.

POPSPELL.WLL is a spelling utility that changes the CTRL+left mouse click

functionality in Word.

Paste Linked Object Is Truncated After Update with A4 Paper

Article ID: Q120674

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The bottom portion of an object is truncated after you update the link to

an object. This behavior occurs when you use the A4 (210x297 mm) paper size

and the object is paste linked.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a

for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Use the Paste command instead of the Paste Link command.

Method 2: If you choose Paste Link, insert the object as Formatted Text

          instead of as a Microsoft Word 6.0 Document Object.

Custom Paper Size Changes to C5 Envelope with HP II or 4

Article ID: Q120676

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A document with a custom page size of 6.3 by 9.0 inches may change size to

"C5 env 162 x 229 mm" when you print the document to a Hewlett-Packard (HP)

LaserJet II or 4/4M printer.

CAUSE

=====

Microsoft Word for Windows generally creates custom paper sizes by using

the closest page size supported by the printer you are using and adjusting

the margins so the text is positioned correctly. When you specify a custom

size of 6.2 to 6.5 inches wide by 8.9 to 9.2 inches high, Word selects the

C5 envelope size instead of a letter size. When you print the document,

Word sends an envelope code to the printer, causing the printer to go off-

line and you to be prompted to manually feed a C5 envelope.

RESOLUTION

==========

Set the document's width to be half an inch larger than the size you want,

and increase the margin settings to compensate for the enlarged page. For

example, if the document's width is 6.2 inches, and the left and right

margins are 1.5 inches, set the document's width to 6.7 inches and its

margins to 1.75 inches.

Or, use the SetPrintFlags macro to prevent Word from matching a user-

defined page size to a size supported by the printer. The SetPrintFlags

macro is located in the MACRO60.DOT template file in the <winword>\MACROS

subdirectory. Note that this file is installed only if you performed a

complete installation of Word. If you did not perform a complete

installation, you can use Word's Setup Maintenance program to install the

template.

When the template is installed, follow these steps to run the SetPrintFlags

macro:

1. Start Word and then choose Templates from the File menu.

2. In the Global Templates And Add-ins box, choose the Add button.

3. In the File Name box, select MACRO60.DOT and then choose the OK

   button. Note that this file is usually located in the <winword>\MACROS

   subdirectory.

4. Choose the OK button.

5. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

6. In the Macros Available In box, select MACRO60.DOT.

7. In the Macro Name box, select SetPrintFlags, and then choose the

   Run button.

8. In the Set Printer Flags dialog box, select the "Disable paper

   size and tray handling" check box, and then choose OK.

9. When you are prompted "Do you want to replace current settings with

   these options?" choose Yes.

NOTE: To return the printer to default behavior, run the SetPrintFlags

macro again and choose the Default button.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The "Disable paper size and tray handling" option disables all the Word

Page Setup Paper Source options except Default Tray (Auto Select). When

this option is selected, Word will not match a paper size to an envelope

setting. If the HP LaserJet 4 MP tray is configured for letter-size paper,

the paper for the document will be pulled from that tray. If you have the

custom paper loaded in the MP tray, the document will be printed correctly.

If the MP tray is configured for another page size, the printer may choose

another paper source (such as the letter cassette) and the document may be

printed on the wrong part of the paper.

Custom Toolbars Use Too Much Space Starting Word Minimized

Article ID: Q120766

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you start Word for Windows in the minimized state, if you load several

custom toolbars, the toolbars appear one under the other (as if on their

own lines) when you maximize Word. This happens even when there is enough

room for the toolbars to dock side-by-side.

If you have several toolbars, they may obscure the entire working area

(this happens more frequently if you are using the Large Buttons setting

and a low-resolution Windows video driver).

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Start Word in the maximized state by doing the following:

          a. In Windows Program Manager, select your Word program

             icon.

          b. From the File menu, choose Properties.

          c. Clear the Run Minimized option so there is no X in

             the box next to it, and then choose OK.

Method 2: If you want to start Word in the minimized state, write a global

          AutoExec macro that uses the AppMinimize WordBasic command

          to minimize Word when you start the application. If you use

          this method, you should also clear the Run Minimized option

          in Program Manager (see Method 1 for instructions).

Porting WordBasic Macros to Word for Windows NT

Article ID: Q120767

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Most Word for Windows macros work correctly in Word for Windows NT without

modification. However, areas of a macro that deal with operating-system-

specific areas may require minor revision.

The following WordBasic commands either behave somewhat differently or

require special consideration when being used with Word for Windows NT:

   Declare

   ExitWindows

   FileOpen

   GetPrivateProfileString$() and SetPrivateProfileString

   GetProfileString$() and SetProfileString

   GetSystemInfo$()

   Shell

   ToolsAdvancedSettings

MORE INFORMATION

================

Declare

-------

Because Word for Windows NT is a 32-bit application, any Declare statements

must use 32-bit conventions.

If the function being called is a Windows API function, some general rules

can be used to determine what the 32-bit equivalent API function is. For

the most accurate information, however, it is best to consult a Win32 SDK

guide.

Rule 1: Use the 32-bit version of the DLL.

       The name of the DLL containing the function typically has "32"

       appended to the end of the name. For instance, the equivalent of

       "kernel" in Windows 3.x is "kernel32" in Windows NT. However, there

       are exceptions to this.

Rule 2: Use the ANSI version of the function.

       Functions that use strings are typically available in two versions:

       ANSI and Unicode. Word for Windows NT is an ANSI application and

       must, therefore, use ANSI API functions. The ANSI version of API

       functions have an "A" appended to the end of the function name. For

       instance, the Windows 3.x function "GetWindowsDirectory" is

       "GetWindowsDirectoryA" under Windows NT.

Rule 3: Integer parameters are 32-bit.

       For all functions under Windows 3.x that use the type Integer,

       Windows NT uses Long.

Rule 4: Function names are case sensitive.

       Unlike Windows, DLL functions in Windows NT are case sensitive. For

       the Declare statement to work, the case of the function name must

       match the actual case of the function name exactly.

       The following examples demonstrate the use of the three rules

       above:

          Declare statement for use with Word under Windows 3.x:

             Declare Function getwindowsdirectory Lib "Kernel"(WinDir As

             String, nSize As Integer) As Integer

          Declare statement for use with Word for Windows NT:

              Declare Function GetWindowsDirectoryA Lib "Kernel32"(WinDir

              As String, nSize As Long) As Long

ExitWindows

-----------

In Windows, the ExitWindows WordBasic command ends the current Windows

session and exits back to MS-DOS. Executing the ExitWindows WordBasic

command in Word for Windows NT logs the current user off and returns to the

Windows NT Welcome screen.

FileOpen

--------

Word for Windows NT supports the use of long filenames, including those

with one or more spaces. In Word for Windows and Word for Windows NT, the

FileOpen command supports the ability to open more than one document at the

same time by separating the two document names with spaces.

To open documents that contain spaces and not have Word for Windows NT

assume they are separate document names, the entire name must be enclosed

in quotation marks.

The following WordBasic macro command opens two documents simultaneously,

one called "FIRST.DOC" and one called "SECOND.DOC":

   FileOpen "FIRST.DOC SECOND.DOC"

This WordBasic macro command opens a single document called "FIRST.DOC

SECOND.DOC":

   FileOpen Chr$(34) + "FIRST.DOC SECOND.DOC" + Chr$(34)

If the macro being written uses a string variable to store the macro name

and it is not known at design time whether the filename will contain

spaces, the string should have quotation marks added to it, or the FileOpen

command should include the Chr$(34) functions, as shown in the example

below:

   FileOpen Chr$(34) + TheFileName$ + Chr$(34)

This guarantees that the file will always be successfully opened, whether

it contains spaces or not.

GetPrivateProfileString$() and SetPrivateProfileString

------------------------------------------------------

GetPrivateProfileString$() and SetPrivateProfileString support the same

functionality in Word for Windows NT as they do in Word for Windows.

However, new functionality was added so that these commands can also

support the Windows NT Registry.

If the final parameter, the INI filename, is blank, Word for Windows NT

assumes that the section parameter is a full path to a Windows NT Registry

Key. The second parameter, key name, is used as the value name.

Because Word for Windows NT settings are stored in the Registry, any

WordBasic application-private INI functions that previously used the

WINWORD6.INI file need to be modified to work with the settings as they

exist in the Registry.

For example, consider the following macro command that determines the

workgroup path in Word for Windows:

   x$ = GetPrivateProfileString$("Microsoft Word", "WORKGROUP-DOT-PATH",

    "WINWORD6.INI")

An equivalent function in Word for Windows NT is as follows:

   x$ = GetPrivateProfileString$("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\

   Word\6.0\Options", "WORKGROUP-DOT-PATH", "")

GetProfileString$() and SetProfileString

----------------------------------------

GetProfileString$() and SetProfileString in Word for Windows NT both

function the same as they do in Word for Windows. However, in Windows NT,

the settings the macro may read or set are not located in INI files.

In Word for Windows NT, you should use GetPrivateProfileString$() and

SetPrivateProfileString instead of GetProfileString$() and SetProfileString

to get or set Word settings. GetPrivateProfileString$() and

SetPrivateProfileString access the Windows NT Registry, where the Word

settings are located under Windows NT.

GetSystemInfo$()

----------------

The following GetSystemInfo$() function types are different when used in

Word for Windows NT:

  Type  Description                 Difference

  ----  --------------------------  --------------------------------------

   23   MS-DOS Version Number       Since Windows NT does not run with

                                    MS-DOS, this function returns an empty

                                    string instead of a version number.

   25   Available Resources         Windows NT does have resource

                                    restrictions as Windows does. Calling

                                    this function with Word for Windows NT

                                    will return an empty string.

   27   Windows Mode                Windows NT does not have a Standard or

                                    386 Enhanced Mode as Windows 3.x does.

                                    Calling this function with Word for

                                    Windows NT will return an empty string.

Shell

-----

Like FileOpen, the Shell WordBasic command now supports long filenames. If

the program being launched by the Shell command contains spaces in its

filename, quotation marks must be included around the name, but not around

any command line parameters, if included.

For example, assume the name of the program to be launched is "Example

Executable.exe" and needs the command-line parameters "/c test". The Shell

command necessary to perform this action would be as follows:

   Shell Chr$(34) + "Example Executable" + Chr$(34) + " /c test"

ToolsAdvancedSettings

---------------------

ToolsAdvancedSettings can be used to modify Word-related settings in the

WINWORD6.INI and WIN.INI files with Word for Windows. Under Word for

Windows NT, this command still modifies settings in those INI files.

However, since Word for Windows NT does not use those INI files to store

its settings, any settings made with this command are ignored. Word for

Windows NT settings are stored in the Windows NT Registry instead.

To modify or query Word for Windows NT Registry settings, use

SetPrivateProfileString or GetPrivateProfileString$() instead.

Cannot Convert Microsoft Excel Worksheet Object to Chart

Article ID: Q120773

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows, when you try to convert an embedded Microsoft Excel

5.0 worksheet object to a Microsoft Excel chart, the worksheet does not

actually convert.

CAUSE

=====

"Microsoft Excel 5.0 Chart," which appears as an option in the Convert

dialog box, is not a valid choice. (To locate this conversion option,

select the Microsoft Excel worksheet object, choose Spreadsheet Object from

the Edit menu, and then choose Convert.)

Choosing to convert the Microsoft Excel 5.0 worksheet object results in an

incorrect representation of your worksheet and causes the EMBED field code

to be modified, as shown in the following examples:

   Original field code:           {EMBED Excel.Sheet.5}

   After converting to Chart:     {EMBED Excel.Chart.5 \s}

The "Microsoft Excel 5.0 Chart" option appears when the object has been

embedded, not linked.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Instead of choosing Paste to insert the object, choose Paste

          Special and then select Paste Link.

Method 2: From the Insert menu, choose Object and create a new Microsoft

Setting Multilevel Numbering for Table of Contents

Article ID: Q120774

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When you create a table of contents in Word, there is no direct feature

that applies multilevel (outline-style) numbering to the levels within the

table of contents. The following is an example of how a multilevel table of

contents might appear:

   1. Primary heading #1

      A. Secondary heading #1

      B. Secondary heading #2

   2. Primary heading #2

      A. Secondary heading #1

The TOC 1 through TOC 9 styles are used to format the Table of Contents.

Although these styles can be modified to include numbering, doing so only

enables sequential numbering, not outline-style numbering. Multilevel

numbering cannot be specified as part of a style definition.

This article describes how to change the TOC styles so that each level of

the table of contents is indented. Once you generate the table of contents,

you can manually format it using multilevel numbering.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Use the following steps to number your table of contents:

 1. From the Insert menu, choose Index And Tables.

 2. Under Formats, select Custom Style. Choose the Modify button.

 3. From the Styles list, select TOC 2. Choose the Modify button.

 4. Choose the Format button and select Paragraph.

 5. In the Left Indent box, type .5 inch (or the desired indent

    measurement), and choose the OK button.

 6. Choose the OK button.

    Repeat steps 4-6 for each of the TOC styles from 2-9, incrementing the

    left indent by .5 inch for each style.

 7. Choose the Close button.

 8. Choose the OK button.

 9. Place the insertion point in the table of contents and press F9 to

    update the table.

10. Choose Update Entire Table.

11. Select the table of contents.

12. From the Format menu, choose Bullets And Numbering.

13. Select the Multilevel tab. Select one of the predefined numbering

    styles or choose Modify to customize a style.

14. Choose the OK button.

Color Text Is Black After Inserting Word 2.0 Object

Article ID: Q120780

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Color text displays as black after you insert a Word 2.0 document object

into a Word 6.0 document. This behavior occurs when you have a non-color

printer driver set as your default printer.

CAUSE

=====

Word 2.0 for Windows formats files so that the printed output of colored

text depends on the default printer driver. If the default printer driver

is a monochrome driver, colored text prints as black. If the default

printer driver is a color driver, colored text prints in color.

Word 2.0 for Windows formats OLE objects the same way. Therefore, objects

created from these files reference the current default printer to determine

the appropriate formatting.

Word 6.0 for Windows references the video driver for color formatting of

text. Therefore, Word 6.0 files insert as color-formatted objects

regardless of the default printer driver. For compatibility with earlier

versions of Word, select "Print Colors as Black on Noncolor Printers."

(This option can be found by choosing Options from the Tools menu and

selecting the Compatibility tab.)

RESOLUTION

==========

To insert the Word 2.0 object, perform these steps:

   1. From the Insert menu, choose Object.

   2. Select the Create From New tab.

   3. Select the Word 2.0 document, and choose the OK button.

To display color formatting of a Word 2.0 document object, use the

following steps.

   1. Double-click the Word 2.0 object. You are now editing the object

Known Issues with Word 6.0 Macros

Article ID: Q120784

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes known issues with macros included with the

supplemental templates shipped with Word for Windows and Word for the

Macintosh.

Note: These macros are not included in the international versions of Word,

with the exception of the French version.

MORE INFORMATION

================

For general information on the following macros, please see the following

article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

     ARTICLE-ID: Q105765

     TITLE     : Macros in the CONVERT, LAYOUT, TABLES, and MACRO60

                 Templates

CONVERT.DOT

-----------

BatchConversion

---------------

1. During conversion, all files are automatically renamed with a .DOC

   extension. If you have multiple files with the same name, but which have

   different extensions, you will receive the following error message

   during the batch conversion:

      A file of the same name exists in the target directory. Would you

      like to rename it or skip the file being converted.

   On the Macintosh, if you choose to rename the file, the macro does not

   save the file if a file with the same name already exists in the target

   folder.

2. Subdirectories located on a Novell NetWare server may not display. The

   root directory and up to one subdirectory of the network drive will

   appear, but no further subdirectories will be available. This happens

   when you select either a source or destination directory. For additional

   information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge

   Base:

      ARTICLE-ID: Q115149

      TITLE     : BatchConversion Macro Works Incorrectly on Novell

                  NetWare

3. If you are attempting to convert more than 500 files, you will receive

   the following error message:

      Subscript out of Range

   The BatchConversion macro defines a 500-item static array that contains

   the names of the files in the source directory that you want to convert.

   The array cannot accommodate more than 500 files, so the error occurs if

   the number of files in the source directory exceeds that limit. For

   additional information, please see the following article in the

   Microsoft Knowledge Base:

      ARTICLE-ID: Q114236

      TITLE     : "Subscript Out of Range" Error Running BatchConversion

                  Macro

PresentIt

---------

1. After you run the PresentIt macro in Word, a file named ~PRESENT.RTF

   will remain in the Windows TEMP directory. For additional information,

   please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

      ARTICLE-ID: Q114743

      TITLE     : PresentIt Macro Leaves ~PRESENT.RTF in TEMP Directory

2. The PowerPoint manual instructs you to click the PresentIt button in

   Word. Since this button is not added to the Word toolbar automatically,

   you must manually add it. For additional information, please see the

   following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

      ARTICLE-ID: Q112093

      TITLE     : Word 6.0a Patch Supplies but Does Not Install

                  PRESENT.DOT

      ARTICLE-ID: Q116424

      TITLE     : README: PowerPoint 4.0c Adding the Present It Tool to

                  Word 6.0

3. The PresentIt macro is located in the following templates:

      Template                    Word Version

      --------                    ------------

      CONVERT.DOT                 6.0 (Windows)

      PRESENT.DOT                 6.0a (Windows)

If selected text has different raised or lowered character position

formats, a uniform character position will be applied to the text when this

macro is run.

CharacterTrackin

----------------

If the selected text contains different font sizes, character spacing is

not condensed. This problem only occurs in Word 6.0 for Windows.

CharacterTrackout

-----------------

If the selected text contains different font sizes, character spacing is

not expanded. This problem only occurs in Word 6.0 for Windows.

DecreaseFont

------------

If the selected text contains different font sizes, running the macro will

generate the following WordBasic error:

   The value is out of range

IncreaseFont

------------

If the selected text contains different font sizes, running the macro will

generate the following WordBasic error:

2. The field code won't accept line feeds or paragraph marks.

PrintableCharacters

-------------------

The bottom of the dialog disappears on EGA monitors.

SectionManager

--------------

1. Applying uneven column formatting in a section by clearing the Equal

   Columns check box results in a single column format where the column's

   width is the width of the first column specified in the macro dialog

   box. This problem was corrected in Word 6.0 for Windows NT.

2. Choosing the Help button and returning to the macro dialog box will

   cause extra column numbers to be displayed on the dialog box. This

   problem was corrected in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh and Word 6.0 for

   Windows NT.

3. The dialog box was changed in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh to fit on

   smaller monitors.

MACRO60.DOT

-----------

EnableAutoBackup

----------------

The first time the macro is run you will get the following WordBasic error:

   Word cannot find the designated menu item.

The error message occurs because the macro attempts to remove a menu item

called "Enable AutoBackup" that has not yet been added. Note that the

EnableAutoBackup and the DisableAutoBackup toggle on the opposite macro's

menu item on the File menu.

This error will not occur on subsequent executions of the macro.

Note: This macro is not included in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh.

FontSampleGenerator

-------------------

1. The dialog was changed in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh to allow for

   smaller monitors on some systems.

2. If a PostScript printer is selected, the resulting list will have a

   minimum number of sample fonts per page to prevent the printer from

   exhausting memory.

RLE Bitmaps Print Without Colors

Article ID: Q120785

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

An inserted bitmap that has been saved in RLE (Run Length Encoded) format

may not print with color, or shades of gray, from Word 6.0 for Windows. The

graphic will display all colors in the document.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Save the graphic in a Windows bitmap (BMP) format.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The RLE format reduces the file size of a bitmap image by storing pixel

color by run length, or the number of similar-colored pixels that are side-

by-side. BMP files, on the other hand, store the color values for each

pixel in the bitmap. A line in a BMP file may appear as

   blue,blue,blue,red,red,white,white,white,white

whereas the above line would appear in an RLE file as:

   3 blue,2 red,4 white

RLE files can have .BMP extensions that Word sees as a bitmap format.

If you try to open an RLE file having a .BMP extension in Windows,

PaintBrush gives an error message stating:

   The format of this file is not supported.

How to Specify a Limited Number of Mergefields

Article ID: Q120787

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word does not provide an option to display an abbreviated list of

mergefield names when you perform a mail merge. This article describes a

way for you to create a data source that is a subset of the original,

thereby allowing you to use an abbreviated list of mergefields.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Use the following steps to create a data source that contains fewer fields

than the original data document:

1. Create a new document.

2. From the Insert menu, choose Database.

3. Choose the Get Data button, select the original data document, and

   choose the OK button.

4. Select the Query Options button. Select the Select Fields tab.

5. Remove all unnecessary fields and then choose the OK button.

6. Choose the Insert Data button. Select All Records or specify a range of

   records and choose the OK button.

7. Save the file as a new data source.

Now you can attach the new data source to your mail merge main document,

and you will have fewer mergefields to select.

Doc Error: Online Help MenuMode Statement Incorrect

Article ID: Q120866

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The Word for Macintosh online WordBasic Help file incorrectly states that

the MenuMode statement corresponds to pressing the DECIMAL (.) key on the

numeric keypad when Num Lock is off. Pressing the DECIMAL key when Num Lock

is off in Word 6.0 does not activate menu mode.

In Word versions 4.0 and 5.x for the Macintosh, menu mode is activated by

pressing the DECIMAL key when Num Lock was turned off. However, in Word

6.0, menu mode can be accessed by pressing COMMAND+TAB or by pressing F10.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To toggle Num Lock, press SHIFT+CLEAR. CLEAR is the key above the 7 on the

keypad on the extreme right of an extended keyboard. When Num Lock is off,

the keypad keys perform the following operations:

            home          up arrow          page up

               \              |               /

Can't Print Multiple Copies to Canon Bubble-Jet BJ-600C

Article ID: Q120867

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

 - Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Canon Bubble-Jet BJ-600C printer prints only one copy, even though you

chose to print more than one copy. (To locate the Copies text box, choose

Print from the File menu.)

Note: This problem occurs in Microsoft Word for Windows and Microsoft

Windows Write.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior occurs if you are using the Plain Paper option with versions

2.0b and 2.0c of the Canon BJ600C printer driver (BJC600.DRV).

RESOLUTION

==========

Change the Media Type to Coated Paper. To do this, modify the printer

driver settings by following these steps:

1. From the Windows Control Panel, choose the Printers icon.

2. Choose the Setup button.

3. From the Media Type list, choose Coated Paper.

4. Choose the OK button.

5. Choose the Close button.

Multiple copies should now print correctly from Word.

"!Syntax Error, [" in Table Formula

Article ID: Q120868

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The error message "!Syntax Error, [" appears in a table when a formula

field includes certain formula functions and refers to table cells with A1

notation.

CAUSE

=====

Function references to table cells are not in row/column notation.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Use row/column notation. In this notation, each cell is

          identified by the letter R and the row number, and the letter C

          and the column number. For example, cell A1 is called R1C1. Cell

          B2 is R2C2, cell D15 is R15C4, and so on.

          For example, you would change this formula:

             { =abs(B4) }

          to this:

             { =abs(R4C2) }

Method 2: Apply a bookmark to the contents of the desired cell and refer to

          it rather than using the cell reference.

          Note: you must include only the contents of the cell when you

          apply the bookmark. If you highlight the entire cell, you will

          get unpredictable results in the formula result.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following functions do not require the use of row/column notation (A1

notation can be used):

   average

   count

   max

   min

   product

   sum

The following functions require the use of row/column notation:

   abs

   and

   int

   mod

   not

   or

   round

   sign

Help for Fields Incorrectly Displays Word Help Contents

Article ID: Q120879

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use the Help key (F1) to access context-sensitive help for the

following inserted fields, the Word Help Contents screen is displayed

instead of the context help screen:

   PRIVATE

   RD

   TA

   TC

   XE

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c

for Windows and Word 6.0 for the Macintosh. We are researching this problem

and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it

becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

To access Help for all fields, including those on the above list, use one

of the following methods.

Method 1: From the Insert menu, choose Fields, select the field in the

          Field Names list, and press F1.

Method 2: Use the Field Types Reference in Help. To locate the reference,

          double-click the Help button on the Standard toolbar, and then

          type "fields, type of" (without the quotation marks). Go to Field

          Types and Switches, and click Field Types.

Method 3: In Word for the Macintosh, you can access context-sensitive help

          by using the HELP key on the extended ADB Keyboard or by using

          COMMAND+? on the standard Apple Macintosh ADB keyboard.

WordBasic Error 124 Running MacWord Macro Created in WinWord

Article ID: Q120900

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You created a macro that contains Macintosh-specific WordBasic commands in

Word version 6.0, 6.0a, or 6.0c for Windows and try to run the macro in

Word for Macintosh 6.0. When you do this, the following error occurs:

   WordBasic Error 124, "Unknown Command, Subroutine, or Function"

WORKAROUND

==========

To enable the Macintosh-specific commands, transfer the template to the

Macintosh operating environment and open the macro in Word 6.0 for the

Macintosh. Edit the macro by inserting a space or adding a comment, and

then close and save the macro.

After you edit and save the macro in Macintosh Word, a process called

"dirtying," the Macintosh-specific commands should run without error.

Dirtying the macro in Macintosh Word is necessary only once. Ideally, you

should dirty the macro once prior to distributing the macro to other

Macintosh Word users.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Macintosh-specific commands are those WordBasic commands that are available

only on the Macintosh platform. The following example contains the

Macintosh-specific command MacID$().

Sub Main

 a$ = MacID$("TEXT")

Numbering Restarts After Inserting Table or Embedded Object

Article ID: Q120915

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you insert a table or embedded object in a numbered list, Word restarts

the numbering of the paragraph following the table or object at 1.

For example, the following sample shows a numbered list before and after

you insert a table or embedded object in the list.

   Numbered Paragraph               Same Numbered Paragraph After

                                    3. Mangos

CAUSE

=====

The above behavior of the Bullets and Numbering command on the Format menu

is by design in Word.

===========

Method 1: Apply a heading style to your numbered paragraphs and use the

          Heading Numbering command on the Format menu to number the

          paragraphs instead of the Bullets And Numbering command. For more

          information on Heading Numbering, see Chapter 8 in the "User's

          Guide."

Method 2: Use the Word 2.x Bullets And Numbering (ToolsBulletsNumbers)

          command to number your paragraphs. To use this command, run the

          ToolsBulletsNumbers command from the Tools Macro dialog box

          (Select All Commands in the Macros Available In box). To

          facilitate this workaround, you can add the ToolsBulletsNumbers

          command to a toolbar, menu, or shortcut key combination using the

          Customize command on the Tools menu.

Method 3: Use the SEQ, AUTONUM, AUTONUMLGL, or AUTONUMOUT fields to number

          your paragraphs. For information about using these fields,

          double-click the Help button on the Standard toolbar and

          then type the field name (such as "SEQ" [without the quotation

          marks]).

Method 4: a. Insert a section break before or after the table or embedded

             object.

          b. Select the numbered paragraph following the section break.

          c. From the Format menu, choose Bullets And Numbering.

          d. Select the Numbering tab.

          e. Choose the Modify button.

          f. Change the Start At value to the next number in the numbering

             sequence (in the example below, change the Start At value to

             "4).", and then choose OK.

             1. Apples

             2. Oranges

             3. Pears

                <inserted table or embedded object>

             -----------<Section Break>------------

             4. Pineapples

             5. Guavas

             6. Mangos

          For more information on Bullets And Numbering, see Chapter 8 in

          the "User's Guide."

Method 5: Place the table or embedded object in a frame and anchor the

          frame to a paragraph above or below the numbered list. Position

          the framed table or object in correct location in the middle of

          the numbered list.

          Important: This workaround does not work in every situation. For

          example, this workaround does not work on a page that consists

          entirely of numbered paragraphs.

Cannot Create Hanging Indent in Multilevel Numbered List

Article ID: Q120917

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word may display and print regular indent formatting when you apply hanging

indent formatting to a paragraph formatted for multilevel list numbering.

CAUSE

=====

Word behaves as if you applied regular instead of hanging indent formatting

to a paragraph in a multilevel numbered list if you also applied Skip

Numbering formatting to the paragraph. (To apply Skip Numbering formatting

to a numbered list, click the right mouse button on the paragraph and then,

from the shortcut menu that appears, choose Skip Numbering.)

For example, in the multilevel numbered list below, if you choose Skip

Numbering for the "Note" paragraph under section I, then apply 1-inch

hanging indent paragraph formatting, Word incorrectly displays and prints

the paragraph as if you formatted it for a 1-inch left indent. This happens

even though the ruler and the Format Paragraph dialog box correctly display

the hanging indent formatting.

I.  Fruits

     A.  Apples

     B.  Oranges

     C.  Pears

     Note: This list does not contain any tropical fruits such as guavas,

     mangos, pineapples, or papayas.

II. Vegetables

     A.  Carrots

     B.  Lettuce

     C.  Rutabagas

By contrast, if you interrupt the numbering by choosing Stop Numbering from

the shortcut menu for lists, Word correctly displays and prints any hanging

indent formatting you apply to the paragraph.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To remove numbering from a multilevel numbered list item, choose Stop

Numbering (instead of Skip Numbering) from the shortcut menu for lists. You

must then restart numbering for the next multilevel numbered list item.

WDK Doc Err: Number of Values to Pass to User-Defined Function

Article ID: Q120975

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c,

   6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit" (WDK) contains the following incorrect

statement at the bottom of page 83:

   Note that you can pass any number of values, each separated by a comma.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The maximum number of values you can pass to a user-defined function is 20.

If your macro attempts to pass more than 20 values, the following WordBasic

error occurs:

   WordBasic Err=116

   Argument-count mismatch

For example, the following macro, in which the MySub function contains 21

parameters, generates the "Argument-count mismatch" error:

Sub MAIN

Call mysub one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen,

eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twentyone

End Sub

Sub mysub(one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen,

eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twentyone)

MsgBox "mysub"

End Sub

WORKAROUND

==========

Your user-defined functions can contain only 20 parameters, each separated

by a comma. For example, the following macro does not generate the

"Argument-count mismatch" error:

Sub MAIN

Call mysub one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen,

eighteen, nineteen, twenty

End Sub

Sub mysub(one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen,

eighteen, nineteen, twenty)

MsgBox "mysub"

WinWord 6.0: Document Loses Heading Numbering Formatting

Article ID: Q120977

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Sometimes heading numbering formatting disappears from a Word for Windows

document. Word either replaces some heading numbering with numbered list

formatting or removes the numbering altogether. Similarly, the document

does not contain any other formatting changes you applied to the heading

styles.

The exception is that Word DOES update heading paragraphs for which you

have not modified the heading style.

(This problem does not occur in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh.)

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs if the Automatically Update Document Styles option is

selected when the document is saved AND the NORMAL.DOT template contains no

numbering information for the Heading styles.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

and 6.0c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

1. From the File menu, choose Templates.

2. Clear the Automatically Update Document Styles option and choose OK.

3. Reapply the heading numbering formatting in your document and then save

   the document.

This is a document-level property. You will need to do this for each

document for which you want to retain the document's styles.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When you choose Heading Numbering from the Format menu, the changes are

made to the Heading styles. If the Heading styles are defined in

NORMAL.DOT, they will replace the Heading style definitions in the

document.

The Automatically Update Document Styles feature allows you to ensure that

changes that are made to the global template are reflected in the document.

It is useful for documents that must conform to a standardized template.

How to Use Named WordBasic Arguments in OLE Automation

Article ID: Q120979

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Excel for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0a

 - Microsoft Visual Basic, Applications Edition

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how to create a routine in Microsoft Visual Basic,

Applications Edition (VBA), that uses named and position arguments to send

commands to Word for Windows using OLE Automation. For example, you can

send OLE Automation commands to Word from a Microsoft Excel VBA macro to

perform a print merge operation in Word (see the "Sample VBA Module to Run

Mail Merge in Word" section at the end of this article).

MORE INFORMATION

================

The syntax for named arguments in Visual Basic, Applications Edition, is

similar to the WordBasic syntax in Word for Windows. You can see the

similarities in the following sample WordBasic and VBA syntax, both of

which start a new Word document based on the LETTER1.DOT template:

   WordBasic Syntax

   ----------------

   FileNew .Template = "C:\WINWORD\TEMPLATE\LETTER1.DOT", .NewTemplate = 0

   Visual Basic, Applications Edition, Syntax

   ------------------------------------------

   .FileNew Template := "c:\winword\template\letter1.dot", NewTemplate := 0

Note: The syntax differences are small but significant. In VBA, the Word

command is preceded by a period (.), there is no period (.) before the

command arguments, and a colon (:) appears before the equal sign (=). If

your VBA syntax is incorrect, the following error message may occur:

   Object doesn't support this property or method.

Sample VBA Module and WordBasic Macro

-------------------------------------

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

The following sample VBA module uses OLE Automation to send named arguments

to Word and create a new document:

Sub Test()

Dim Word As Object

Set Word = CreateObject("word.basic")

With Word

  .FileNewDefault

  .Insert "This text appears here because of OLE Automation."

  .StartOfLine 1

  .FormatFont Points:="12", SmallCaps:=1, Font:="Courier New", Bold:=1

  .StartOfDocument

  .FormatParagraph Alignment:=1, WidowControl:=0

End With

End Sub

Note: Word should be active before you run this VBA module. If Word is not

running, you will not see the result in Word because when OLE Automation

starts Word, OLE closes Word after the VBA module runs.

The following is the WordBasic macro equivalent of the above VBA module:

Sub MAIN

FileNewDefault

Insert "This text appears here because of OLE Automation."

StartOfLine 1

FormatFont .Points = "12", .SmallCaps = 1, .Font = "Courier New", .Bold = 1

StartOfDocument

FormatParagraph .Alignment = 1, .WidowControl = 0

End Sub

Sample VBA Module to Run Mail Merge in Word

-------------------------------------------

Sub Print_Merge()

Set wordobject = CreateObject("word.document.6")

Set wordbasic = wordobject.Application.wordbasic

    With wordbasic

         .MailMerge CheckErrors:=1, Destination:=0, MergeRecords:=0,

From:="", To:="", Suppression:=0, MailMerge:=1, MailSubject:="",

MailAsAttachment:=0, MailAddress:=""

    End With

End Sub

Windows Help Authoring Tool (WHAT6) for Use with WinWord 6.0

Article ID: Q121047

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Microsoft has developed an internal tool called the Windows Help Authoring

Toolkit for Microsoft Word version 6.0 for Windows (WHAT6). This tool is

used within Microsoft to help create Help files. Microsoft is now providing

this internal tool to our customers.

For more information about WHAT6, please see the following article(s) in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   ARTICLE-ID: Q120136

   TITLE     : Windows Help Authoring Tool (WHAT6) for Use with Word 6.0

How to Obtain WHAT6 and Related Files

-------------------------------------

WHAT6.EXE contains WHAT6.DOT and related files.

Download WHAT6.EXE, a self-extracting file, from the Microsoft Software

Library (MSL) on the following services:

 - CompuServe

      GO MSL

      Search for WHAT6.EXE

      Display results and download

 - Microsoft Download Service (MSDL)

      Dial (206) 936-6735 to connect to MSDL

      Download WHAT6.EXE

 - Internet (anonymous FTP)

      ftp ftp.microsoft.com

      Change to the /SOFTLIB/MSLFILES directory

      Get WHAT6.EXE

After downloading it, run WHAT6.EXE in an empty directory to obtain the

files it contains.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Windows Help Authoring Toolkit for Microsoft Word version 6.0 for

Windows (WHAT6) consists of a Microsoft Word version 6.0 template file

(WHAT6.DOT), Help files to assist you in using WHAT6.DOT, and Windows

programs for creating bitmap hotspots and managing your Help project.

WHAT6 helps you create and edit Help topics. WHAT6 makes creating Help

files easier by providing dialog boxes to add Help features that would

otherwise need to be created using specialized Help coding and word-

processing functions. For example, instead of entering footnotes for a

topic's context string and title, you can type the information into a

dialog box.

The Help Authoring Template (WHAT6.DOT) makes it easier for you to:

 - Create and edit topic files.

 - Insert and edit topics, graphics, and hot spots.

 - Format topic text and graphics.

 - Save topic files in RTF format.

 - View partial or complete builds of the topic file in Windows Help.

 - Insert bitmaps into your help file.

 - Apply help styles.

 - Format Lists.

How the WHAT6.DOT Template Works

--------------------------------

The Help Authoring Template is similar to other Word for Windows templates.

It contains a set of specialized macros and styles that become available

when you open a document based on the template. The template modifies

existing commands and adds new commands to the Word for Windows menus. The

result is a version of Word for Windows that has all the word-processing

functionality and yet is optimized for creating Help files.

Requirements

------------

The WHAT6.DOT template requires Microsoft Word version 6.0 for Windows and

Windows Help version 3.10.505, which is fully compatible with Word for

Windows 6.0 Rich Text Format (RTF).

Wrong Page Size for Word 6.0 Document Object Opened to Edit

Article ID: Q121049

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The page size of an embedded Word 6.0 Document object may change to unusual

dimensions when you do the following:

1. Create a document in Word 6.0 for Windows that contains an embedded Word

   6.0 Document object, displayed as an icon. (When you embed the Word 6.0

   Document object, select the Display as Icon option in the Insert Object

   dialog box.)

2. In Word 6.0, save the document in Word for Windows 2.0 file format, and

   then close the document.

3. In Word 2.x for Windows, open the document you saved in step 2 above.

4. Double-click the Word 6.0 Document object icon to open the embedded

   object in Word 6.0. Notice that the document displays as a narrow

   column. In Word 6.0, if you choose Page Setup from the File menu and

   select the Paper Size tab, the Width setting is a very small number,

   such as .96 or .97 inch.

5. If you close the Word 6.0 Document object and return to Word 2.x, the

   object no longer displays as an icon.

   Note: You can change the Paper Size settings of the embedded Word 6.0

   Document object back to the correct size in Word 6.0, close the object,

   and return to Word 2.x. However, the next time you open the Word 6.0

   Document object, the Paper Size will be slightly narrower than the

   previous setting. For example, if you change the Paper Size to letter

   size (8.5 inches by 11 inches), it may change to 5.99 inches by 11

   inches (a custom page size) next time you double-click the Word 6.0

   Document object to edit it in Word 6.0.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

and 6.0c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Microsoft has reproduced a similar problem with a Word 6.0 Document object

embedded in a form in a PowerBuilder application. (PowerBuilder is an

application development tool by PowerSoft Corp.)

Removing Macro from Template Removes It from Menu in Normal

Article ID: Q121101

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you delete a macro from a template, and if you have a macro with the

same name in your Normal template (NORMAL.DOT) that is also assigned to a

menu, Word for Windows also removes the macro from the menu in NORMAL.DOT.

For example, if MyMacro exists in both MY_MEMO.DOT and in the Normal

template, and if MyMacro is assigned to a menu in the Normal template, Word

for Windows removes MyMacro from the menu in the Normal template when you

delete MyMacro in MY_MEMO.DOT.

Word does not delete the macro from the Normal template; Word only removes

it from the menu.

By contrast, this does not happen with a macro that you assign to a toolbar

button in your Normal template.

STATUS

======

List Numbering Incorrect After Applying Style

Article ID: Q121102

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you create a numbered list and then apply a style to the first numbered

item, Word may incorrectly number the list.

For example, the numbering of the list below in the Before column changes

to the numbering in the After column if you apply the Index 2 style to the

first list item.

   Before Applying Style          After Applying Style

   ---------------------          --------------------

   1. apples                         apples

   2. oranges                     1. oranges

   3. pineapples                  3. pineapples

   4. guavas                      4. guavas

Note: This does not happen with every style you apply. For example, it

happens with the Index 2 style, but it does not happen with the Heading 1

style.

CAUSE

=====

This is a display problem only. If you print the document, the numbering is

correct. Similarly, if you minimize and then restore the Word window (or

perform some other action that causes the Word window to redraw), the

numbering displays correctly.

STATUS

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

With the Update Fields printing option selected, when you use the FilePrint

WordBasic command to print a document that contains a table of contents

created with the TOC field, Word updates only the page numbers in the table

of contents, not the entire table.

If you added table of contents entries since the last time you updated the

TOC field, Word updates the page numbers in the table of contents but does

not add the new entries. (To select the Update Fields option, choose

Options from the Tools menu, select the Print tab, and then select the

Update Fields option so an X appears in the box next to it.)

For example, the following macro does not update the entire table of

contents, nor does it display the Update Table Of Contents dialog box:

Sub Main

 FilePrint

End Sub

By contrast, when you print by choosing the Print button on the Standard

toolbar or by choosing Print from the File menu, Word displays the Update

Table Of Contents dialog box from which you can select an update option.

Word then updates the table accordingly before printing.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Add the InsertTableOfContents WordBasic command to your macro before

the FilePrint command, as shown in the following sample macro:

Sub Main

 InsertTableOfContents .Replace = 1

 FilePrint

End Sub

When you run this macro, Word updates the entire table of contents before

printing.

Font Changes During Mail Merge

Article ID: Q121109

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you perform a mail merge, the merged information may print in a

different font. This behavior occurs when the default Normal style has been

modified to use a printer font instead of a TrueType font.

For example, if you choose Courier as the default font for your Normal

style, but decide to format the main document using Arial, your text will

print in Arial, but the merged fields will print in Courier.

This problem does not occur when your default Normal style is modified to

use a TrueType font.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

and 6.0c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: If you want to modify the built-in Normal style, choose a

          TrueType font instead of a printer font.

Method 2: Perform the merge to a document, apply a different font to this

          document, then print the document.

Cropped Embedded Objects in AutoText Don't Retain Format

Article ID: Q121110

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.00c

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you store a cropped embedded object as an AutoText entry, the cropping

is not retained in subsequent sessions of Word when you insert the AutoText

entry. The cropping is retained during the current session of Word only.

This behavior occurs with embedded objects, not with simple graphics.

Simple graphics are objects that are pasted without being embedded or

linked in your document.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Graphics inserted by choosing Picture from the Insert menu are considered

simple graphics. When you double-click a simple graphic to modify it, the

graphic becomes an embedded object (Word 6 Picture).

You can convert an embedded object to a simple graphic by using the

following steps:

1. Select the embedded object.

2. From the Edit menu, choose Cut.

3. From the Edit menu, choose Paste Special.

4. Select Picture, select the Paste option, and choose the OK button.

Note: Using CTRL+SHIFT+F9 to unlink the field does not convert an embedded

object into a simple graphic. Instead, this command will convert the object

into a Word 6 Picture object.

Doc Error: File Paths Not Displayed on Window Menu

Article ID: Q121111

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

All active (currently open) documents display on the Window menu without

showing their full paths.

The "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit" incorrectly states on pages 813-814

that the Window() and the WindowName$() functions will display the paths of

open files if the documents do not reside in the current directory. The

current directory is the directory location for the active document.

This functionality is different than Word version 2.0, where the paths

displayed on the Window menu when you changed the current directory.

Edit Replace Menu Is Missing Hot-Key Accelerator Underlines

Article ID: Q121239

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you choose Replace from the Edit menu in Microsoft Word for the

Macintosh and try to use the hot-key underline accelerators, some of these

designators are missing.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.00 for

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, COMMAND+E activates the pop-up menus

for Format and Special selections using hot-key accelerators for the menu

choices. Several of the hot-key accelerators that activate special search

functions are implemented; however, the designators do not show on the Edit

Replace menu. Hot-key accelerators are normally designated with an

underline character below the letter that corresponds to the keystroke.

The affected selections with the keystrokes in parentheses are:

   With no Search Options or Match Case selected:

      Any Digit ("g")

      Any Letter ("y")

Word for Windows NT Features

Article ID: Q121249

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 for Windows NT is an adaptation of Word 6.0 for Windows. All of

the new features available in Word 6.0 for Windows NT were added

specifically to take advantage of Windows NT itself, namely:

 - 32-bit architecture

 - Long filename support

 - Multithreaded printing

 - Registry support

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word for Windows NT offers the following features over its 16-bit Word for

Windows counterpart:

32-Bit Architecture

-------------------

Word for Windows NT is written to the Win32 API specification and is,

therefore, a full 32-bit application. This has allowed enhancements to Word

for Windows NT's capacity. Support is now available for larger master

documents and macros, for instance.

Long Filename Support

---------------------

Word for Windows NT supports up to 255 characters for document filenames.

All Word dialog boxes that involve filenames, such as File Open, are wider

to accommodate longer filenames as well.

Multithreaded Printing

----------------------

The background printing feature in Word for Windows NT runs as a separate

thread. This makes working on documents and background printing smoother.

Registry Support

----------------

Word for Windows NT stores all its setting in the Windows NT Registry.

Because of this, multiple configurations of Word can exist on the same

computer for different users. Word will also support user profiles allowing

users to move from one machine to another and continue to use their same

Word configuration.

Doc Err: MsgBox and MsgBox() Uses Different Symbol in MacWord

Article ID: Q121250

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

There is a documentation error on page 599 of "Microsoft Word Developer's

Kit" (WDK, part number WB51159-1093). The following information, located in

the table that lists the values for the Type argument, is true for Word for

Windows, but it is not true for Word for the Macintosh:

   Symbol       32        Question symbol

In Word for the Macintosh, when you use 32 as the value of the Type

argument for the WordBasic MsgBox statement or MsgBox() function, the

message box contains an Attention symbol, not a Question symbol.

Note: In Word for the Macintosh, when you use 48 as the value of the Type

argument, the message box also contains an Attention symbol, as documented.

In other words, Type 32 and 48 both produce an Attention symbol in Word for

the Macintosh.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The "MsgBox, MsgBox()" online Help topic in Word for the Macintosh

correctly states that Type value 32 produces a Question symbol in the

Windows environment and an Attention symbol in the Macintosh environment.

The first edition (part number WB51159-1093) of "Microsoft Word Developer's

Kit" (WDK) was published prior to the release of Word for the Macintosh, so

it may contain incomplete information about the Macintosh operating

environment. Microsoft Press plans to publish the second edition of the

WDK, which will include information that is specific to the operating

environment.

WordBasic and Table ANSI Sort Order Not the Same

Article ID: Q121252

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

WordBasic (the Word macro language) uses a different ANSI character sort

order than that used by the Sort Text command on the Table menu in Word.

Furthermore, the ANSI character sort order differs between Word for the

Macintosh and Word for Windows, both for WordBasic and for the Table Sort

Text command. In other words, there are four different ANSI character sort

orders:

   Word for the Macintosh         Word for Windows

   ----------------------         ----------------

   WordBasic ANSI character       WordBasic ANSI character

   sort order                     sort order (see list below)

   ANSI character sort order      ANSI character sort order

   used by Sort Text command      used by Sort Text command

   on the Table menu              on the Table menu (see list

                                  below)

This article contains a list of only the Word for Windows ANSI character

sort orders used by the English (US) version of Word for Windows, running

under the English (US) version of Microsoft Windows. This article does not

contain a list of the Word for the Macintosh ANSI character sort orders.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The specific sort order of ANSI characters is relevant when you write

WordBasic macros that compare items based on their sort order. The sort

order is quite predictable for alphabetic and numeric characters (for

example, A comes before B, 3 comes before 4, and so forth). However, the

sort order for the remaining characters is not predictable, so a sort order

list is helpful. For example, to determine whether "!" is greater or less

than "?", you must refer to a sort order list (or run a SortArray macro to

sort the characters).

Sort Order Used By Table Sort Command - Windows Environment

-----------------------------------------------------------

In Word for Windows, the sort order used by the Sort command on the Table

menu is based on an algorithm that considers the international version of

both Windows and Word. The following is the logic of the algorithm:

1. If the Windows language class is the same as that used by Word, the

   Table Sort command uses the Windows Compare function.

2. If the Windows language class is different from that used by Word, and

   if there is an internal sort table for the language class in Word, the

   Table Sort command uses the comparison functionality built into Word.

3. If the Windows language class is different from that used by Word, and

   if there is no internal sort table for the language class in Word, the

   Table Sort command uses the Windows Compare function.

ANSI Character Sort Order - Windows Environment

-----------------------------------------------

The table below lists the ANSI character sort order used by WordBasic as

well as the sort order used by the Sort command on the Table menu in Word

for Windows.

GP Fault Scrolling Through Edit Links Dialog Box

Article ID: Q121253

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you scroll through the Edit Links dialog box in Word for Windows, a

general protection (GP) fault in Module WINWORD.EXE occurs.

CAUSE

=====

The GP fault occurs if your document contains links that you created using

an INCLUDE field and if the switches in your INCLUDE field are in the wrong

order. For example, if your document contains the following INCLUDE field,

a GP fault may occur when you scroll through the Edit Links dialog box:

   {INCLUDE <filename> \*CHARFORMAT \*MERGEFORMAT \c AnsiText}

By contrast, the GP fault does NOT occur if the document contains the

following INCLUDE field, in which the order of the switches is correct:

   {INCLUDE <filename> \c AnsiText \*CHARFORMAT \*MERGEFORMAT}

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

and 6.0c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

For online information about the INCLUDE field and its switches, double-

click the Help button on the Standard toolbar and then type "include"

(without the quotation marks).

Macintosh WordBasic Commands Deleted in Word 6.0 for Windows

Article ID: Q121293

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Microsoft WordBasic commands that are specific to Word 6.0 for the

Macintosh are deleted from a macro when you edit and save the macro in Word

6.0 or 6.0a for Windows.

Word 6.0c does not delete unknown commands from your macros when you edit

them in Word 6.0c for Windows. Instead of deleting the Macintosh-specific

command, Word 6.0c replaces Macintosh commands with an

"Unrecognized_Command" string or token.

MORE INFORMATION

================

If you create a macro on the Macintosh platform and copy the template that

contains the macro to Word 6.0 or 6.0a for Windows, the Macintosh-specific

WordBasic commands are permanently removed from the macro if you edit and

save the macro in Word 6.0 or 6.0a for Windows. The Macintosh commands are

not restored when you transfer the macro back to the Macintosh platform. As

a result, the macro will not run correctly when transferred back to the

Macintosh platform.

If the macro is transferred to Word 6.0c for Windows, the Macintosh-

specific commands are not deleted. Word 6.0c will display

"Unrecognized_Statement" in place of the Macintosh commands. The Macintosh

WordBasic commands are not deleted when you edit and save the macro in Word

6.0c for Windows.

EXAMPLES

========

Editing and Saving the Macro in Word for Windows 6.0, 6.0a

----------------------------------------------------------

The following Macintosh Word 6.0 macro contains a Macintosh-specific

function named MacID$.

   Sub MAIN

    a$ = MacID$("TEXT")

   End Sub.

If you open, edit, and save changes to the above cross-platform macro in

Word 6.0 or 6.0a for Windows, the macro will appear as shown below when re-

opened in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh:

   Sub MAIN

    a$ = ("TEXT")

   End Sub

Note: The Macintosh-specific command, MacID$, was deleted.

Editing and Saving the Macro in Word for Windows 6.0c

-----------------------------------------------------

If you create the following macro in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh

   Sub Main

    a$ = MacID$("TEXT")

   End Sub

and open the template that contains the macro in Word 6.0c for Windows, the

macro will appear as follows:

   Sub Main

    a$ = Unrecognized_Statement33134("TEXT")

   End Sub

The "33134" number is the token identification number for the "MacID$"

command. Word 6.0c for Windows does not delete any unrecognized Macintosh

WordBasic commands.

Note: If you transfer the template that contains the macro back to

Macintosh Word 6.0, you must "dirty" the macro in Word for the Macintosh.

In other words, you must open the macro in Macintosh Word, make a small

change such as adding a space, and save the macro. This action changes the

token IDs back to the Macintosh-specific WordBasic commands, such as

MacID$(). "Dirtying" the macro in Macintosh Word (that is, editing and

saving the macro in Macintosh Word) is necessary only once. Ideally, you

should dirty the macro once before distributing the macro to other

Macintosh Word users.

For more information on changes in Word 6.0c for Windows, query in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base on the following words:

Formulas Incorrectly Calculate Times

Article ID: Q121310

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The MAX and MIN functions display incorrect results when calculating

numbers in a time format. For example, if you have the following column of

numbers

   0:11:30

   0:08:50

   0:02:01

   0:12:00

the MAX function, such as

   {=MAX(above)}

will return a result of 58; the MIN function

   {=MIN(above)}

will show a result of 3.

These incorrect results will also occur when you use the SUM formula and

you bookmark the times and reference the bookmark names in your formula.

CAUSE

=====

Word interprets the colon as an operator for addition. In the above

example, Word first adds 11 and 30, 8 and 50, 2 and 1, and 12 and 0. This

computes to 41, 58, 3 and 12. The highest or MAX value equals 58; the

lowest or MIN value equals 3. The SUM formula will give you the result of

114.

Adobe Type Reunion Not Functional in Word 6.0 Ribbon

Article ID: Q121378

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOM

==========

When Adobe Type Reunion 1.1 or later is installed on your computer, it does

not group the fonts displayed in the Font list on the Microsoft Word

Formatting toolbar.

CAUSE

======

The MRU (most recently used) feature in the Word 6.0 font list inhibits

Adobe Type Reunion from grouping the fonts by preventing modification of

the font list. This behavior is part of the design of Word.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: The Macintosh release of Word 6.0 includes an Advanced Setting

          that, when added, will allow Adobe Type Reunion to function

          correctly.

          a. From the Tools menu, choose Customize.

          b. Select the Menus tab.

          c. In the Tools list, select Tools.

          d. In the Commands list, select ToolsAdvancedSettings.

          e. Choose the Add button.

          f. Choose the Close button.

          g. From the Tools menu, choose Advanced Settings.

          h. In the Option box, type "NoFontMRUList" (without the

             quotation marks).

          i. In the Setting box, type "Y" (without the quotation marks).

          j. Choose the Set button and then choose the OK button.

Method 2: Adobe Type Reunion also functions correctly from the Font menu

          when it is added to Word 6.0.

          a. Open the 5.1 Upgrade template, which is located in the Macros

             folder.

          b. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

          c. Run the macro AddFontMenu.

          d. Choose the Yes button to confirm the change to the menu.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Adobe Type Reunion is a System Extension that sorts and groups fonts

according to family name. All variations of a particular font appear with

one name in the Font menu. Individual fonts appear in a submenu adjacent to

the alphabetical list of family names.

Adobe Type Reunion is a product manufactured by a vendor independent of

Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this

Document Prints Incompletely to StyleWriter or LaserWriter LS

Article ID: Q121426

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print a document from Word for the Macintosh to the Apple

StyleWriter or LaserWriter LS, it prints incompletely. Some portions of the

document print correctly, but other portions are blank.

NOTE: This problem does not occur in Microsoft Word for Windows.

CAUSE

=====

This problem is caused by an incompatibility between Word and the

StyleWriter or LaserWriter LS printer driver.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Method 1: Use the following instructions to turn on the Background Printing

          option for the relevant printer driver:

          a. From the Apple menu, choose Chooser.

          b. Select the icon for your printer driver.

          c. The Background Printing option should appear below the

             Connect To list in the Chooser dialog box. Select the On

             option.

          d. Close the Chooser dialog box.

          NOTE: If Background Printing is not available, it could mean

          that you are running under System 6.0.7 in Finder mode or that

          you do not have the Background Printing software properly

          installed. For more information about making Background Printing

          available, see your Macintosh reference materials.

Method 2: Apple suggests that customers install the LaserWriter Select 300

          driver for use with the LaserWriter LS and the StyleWriter II

          driver for use with the StyleWriter.

MORE INFORMATION

================

This problem has also been reproduced on the LaserWriter IIsc (also known

as the Personal LaserWriter SC). With the LaserWriter IIsc, this problem

can be resolved by using the 7.0.1 version of the LaserWriter IIsc driver

and ensuring that Background Printing is turned on. Also, it may be

necessary to increase the amount of memory assigned to the PrintMonitor

application. A setting of 250 is recommended and has been tested

successfully with the LaserWriter IIsc from Word 6.0 for the Macintosh.

"Exit and Load SHARE.EXE" with SHARE.EXE or VSHARE.386 Running

Article ID: Q121428

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you start Word for Windows, the Word logo screen appears and then the

following error message occurs, even though SHARE.EXE or VSHARE.386 are

correctly loaded on your computer:

   You must exit and load SHARE.EXE.

When you choose OK in the error message dialog box, Word closes.

CAUSE

=====

This error message occurs if your local hard disk (for example, drive C) is

write-protected. When you start the program, Word tests the local hard disk

to determine whether it supports file locking and byte-range locking (both

are required by all OLE applications for OLE functionality). Word tests the

local hard disk instead of the TEMP directory, so Word does not start if

your local hard disk is write-protected, even if you have a valid TEMP

directory on a logical drive on which you have read-write privileges.

For more details about this process, see the "More Information" section

below in this article.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Your local hard disk (usually drive C) must not be write-protected while

Word for Windows is starting. If you have a Bernoulli cartridge, you must

make it non-removable using its supplied utility. There is no other

workaround.

MORE INFORMATION

================

All OLE 2.0 applications require file- and byte-range-locking

functionality. At start-up, Word tests for this functionality by attempting

to create and then lock a temporary file. Instead of testing the directory

listed in the MS-DOS TEMP statement, Word uses the Windows GetDriveType()

API call to check for local non-removable media (such as a hard disk or

another drive such as a locked Bernoulli cartridge).

If found, Word issues an INT21,5Bh call to write the temporary (.TMP) file

to the first partition in the series (usually drive C) and an INT21,5Ch

call to attempt to lock the file. If either the write or the lock attempt

fails, Word displays the "...exit and load SHARE.EXE" message and quits.

TAB & Arrow Keys Do Not Select Options in Help Search Dialog

Article ID: Q121444

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In the Word Help Search dialog box, using the TAB key does not change the

focus. In other words, using the TAB key does not move you from the search

text box to the list of topics, or to the buttons. The arrow keys do not

select individual items in the list of topics.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh.

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use the mouse to scroll through the list of topics, to highlight your

choice and to activate a button. It is not possible at this time to

navigate the Search dialog box with the keyboard.

"Newer Speller Already Installed" Running Word 6.0c Setup

Article ID: Q121448

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0c

 - Microsoft Office for Windows, version 4.2c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you run Setup to install Word 6.0c over Word 6.0a or to install Office

version 4.2c over Office 4.2a, the following error message may occur:

   Setup has detected an existing Spelling Checker which is newer and

   incompatible with the version Setup wanted to install. Please contact a

   Microsoft Subsidiary to obtain newer copies of the following

   dictionaries: US English and British.

By contrast, this error does not occur if you install Word 6.0c over Word

6.0 for Windows.

CAUSE

=====

This error occurs when Setup attempts to install the proofing tools if all

three of the following conditions are true:

1. The existing MSSPEL2.DLL file on your system is version 1.63.0000, with

   a file date of 1/11/94, 1/17/94, or 1/28/94. The MSSPEL2.DLL file dated

   1/11/94 was shipped with the retail packages of Word 6.0a, and the file

   dated 1/28/94 was shipped with the Word 6.0a patch.

2. The [MS Proofing Tools] section of your WIN.INI file does not specify a

   Spelling path or it specifies an invalid path or file.

3. The PROOF statement in the [MSAPPS] section of your WIN.INI file

   specifies the correct location of the Word 6.0a MSSPEL2.DLL file.

This error does not occur if the [MS Proofing Tools] section of your

WIN.INI specifies a correct Spelling path. Setup looks for the Spelling

path in this location first, so if it finds a valid setting, it does not

continue looking in the [MSAPPS] section of WIN.INI.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Choose OK from the error messsage dialog. This will preserve the

          latest version of MSSPELL2.DLL on the hard drive and will not

          install the earlier version of MSSPELL2.DLL from the diskette.

Method 2: Before you run Word 6.0c Setup, rename your MSSPEL2.DLL file to

          MSSPEL2.OLD. When you run Word 6.0c Setup, it will not find a

          valid MSSPEL2.DLL file, so it will install the new version of the

          file, and this error does not occur.

Method 3: Change the Spelling path in the [MS Proofing Tools] section of

          your WIN.INI file so it points to the correct location of the

          current MSSPEL2.DLL file.

Borders Removed When Table Contains Shading

Article ID: Q121450

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When a table includes both shading and borders, you may experience one of

the following behaviors:

Scenario 1

----------

When you apply shading to a cell below a cell that has a border, the bottom

border will disappear. This behavior occurs when you apply shading using

the Borders toolbar but does not occur when you use the Borders And Shading

command on the Format menu.

Scenario 2

----------

When you apply different percentages of shading to your table rows and a

grid border to the table, and then perform a sort on the table, your border

may disappear. This behavior occurs when you apply the borders and shading

by using either the Borders And Shading command or the Borders toolbar.

This behavior does not occur when all rows have the same percentage of

shading.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c

for Windows and Word 6.0 for the Macintosh. We are researching this problem

and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it

becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Scenario 1

----------

Method 1: Instead of using the Borders toolbar, choose the Borders And

          Shading command from the Format menu.

Method 2: Apply the shading before you apply the border.

Scenario 2

----------

Perform your sort prior to applying borders and shading.

Can't Drag Table or Column Button Grids Between Monitors

Article ID: Q121456

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

With your Apple Macintosh connected to two video monitors, if you anchor

the Word for the Macintosh Standard toolbar on the inside edge of the

secondary monitor and choose the Columns or Insert Table button, you cannot

drag the column or table grid onto the primary monitor.

Furthermore, if your secondary monitor is positioned on the left side of

your primary monitor and if the Standard toolbar is located somewhere on

the secondary monitor, the table or column grids always appear on the right

side of the monitor, regardless of the location of the toolbar. As a

result, you cannot drag across the table or column grid because you cannot

drag the grid over to the primary monitor. In other words, the Insert Table

and Columns buttons are nonfunctional when the Standard toolbar is anchored

on a secondary monitor that is located on the left side.

CAUSE

=====

By design, Word restricts the Insert Table and Columns button grids to a

single monitor. If the two monitors are a different size, color depth, or

resolution, the grids would be distorted when they are split across two

monitors.

WORKAROUND

==========

Anchor the Standard toolbar somewhere on the primary monitor, or position

your secondary monitor on the right side of the primary monitor.

Cross-Reference to Heading Number Is Not Text

Article ID: Q121470

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When Heading Numbering is formatted as an ordinal number (1st, 2nd, 3rd),

as cardinal text (One, Two, Three), or as ordinal text (First, Second,

Third), a cross-reference will appear with a number instead of text.

For example, if you cross-reference the following heading using cardinal

text formatting

   Section One

a cross-reference to the Heading Number will display as,

   1.

This behavior does not occur when the format of the Heading Numbering is

alphabetic or roman.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Modify the cross-reference field to include one of the following switches

depending on the numbering format you are using for your heading numbering.

    Number Format                   Field Switches to Add to REF field

    --------------                  ----------------------------------

                                       optional)

    I, II, III                      \* Roman

    i,ii,iii                        \* roman

    A,B,C                           \* Alphabetic

    a,b,c                           \* alphabetic

    1st,2nd,3rd                     \* ordinal

    one, two, three                 \* cardtext

    first, second, third            \* ordtext

To modify the cross-reference field:

1. Position your insertion point in the cross-reference field.

2. Toggle View Field Codes so that the field code (rather than the result)

   is displayed. To do this in Word for Windows, press ALT+F9. In Word for

   the Macintosh, press OPTION+F9.

3. Position your insertion point at the end of the field code, inside the

   closing brace and type the desired field switch. Using the previous

   example, you will add the CARDTEXT switch to the field, as follows:

       {REF_Ref12346789 \n \* cardtext}

4. Update the field code by pressing F9.

5. Toggle View Field Codes so that the field result (rather than the code)

   is displayed.

MORE INFORMATION

================

You can modify Heading Numbering formats by choosing Heading Numbering from

the Format menu. In the Heading Numbering dialog, choose Modify. In the

Modify Heading Numbering dialog, choose the desired format from the Bullet

or Number list then click OK.

Article ID: Q121473

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you start Word for the Macintosh, the following error message may

occur:

   The application was unable to start due to an error. Please contact

   customer support.

After you choose OK, Word hangs (stops responding).

CAUSE

Numeric Keypad Keys Beep After Merging Settings Files

Article ID: Q121549

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you merge the Word Settings file created with Word version 4.x or 5.x to

Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, some unexpected and unpredictable numeric

keypad behavior may result.

CAUSE

=====

If you chose to convert the settings from the earlier version of Word in

order to use Work menus or default margins, the Num Lock function fails to

works as expected. Toggling the numeric keypad with SHIFT+NUM LOCK appears

to work in that the Num Lock light turns on or off, but the only key that

works is the 5. All other keys only beep when pressed.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

To correct this problem, choose Customize from the Tools menu, select the

Keyboard tab, and choose Reset All. This performs an undo of previous

modifications to the Normal template. Alternatively, you can remove the

Normal Template from the Templates folder and restart Word 6.0, keeping in

mind that previous styles, macros, and AutoText entries are stored in the

old Normal template.

To work around the problem after you have recovered proper functionality of

the numeric keypad, use the following methods:

Method 1: When you merge the Word Settings files, select the option to save

          to a new template rather than merging to the current template.

Method 2: In Word 6.0, use the Organizer to bring in only the styles that

          are desired.

          No other settings from earlier versions are available to be

          merged using the Organizer. Only styles can be merged.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Page 213 of the "Microsoft Word 6.0 User's Guide" and page 219 of the

"Update Guide" provide instructions for using Word settings from earlier

versions of Word for the Macintosh with version 6.0.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

------------------------------

1. From the File menu, choose Open.

2. From the List Files Of Type list, select All Files.

3. Select the Word Settings (6) file.

4. From the resulting dialog box, select Merge To Current.

Although the settings may appear to be merged and the menus may be present,

the process causes the loss of Num Lock function.

Err Msg: Word Cannot Find the Hyphenation File HYPH.DLL

Article ID: Q121606

------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When you open a document in which the Automatically Hyphenate Document

option is selected, you receive the following error message

   Word cannot find the hyphenation file HYPH.DLL for <Language>

where <Language> indicates the language used when creating the document.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior can occur with any of the following conditions:

 - The HYPH.DLL file was renamed or moved from its original location.

 - The path in the WINWORD6.INI was changed to reflect an incorrect

   location for the HYPH.DLL file.

 - The HYPH.DLL file was deleted from the system.

 - You opened the document on another machine, and Word cannot find the

   original path to the HYPH.DLL file.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word versions

6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will

post new information here as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

To correct this behavior, use the appropriate method(s) below:

 - Make sure that the HYPH.DLL file exists in the location specified in

   the WINWORD6.INI file.

 - Confirm that the HYPH.DLL file has not been renamed or deleted.

 - Install the HYPH.DLL file by running the Word Setup program.

 - Clear the Automatically Hyphenate Document check box if you are

   transferring documents to other machines.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In Word, you can activate the Automatically Hyphenate Document option by

choosing Hyphenate from the Tools menu and selecting the corresponding

check box. When you choose this option, Word embeds the path to the

HYPH.DLL file in the document. The error is generated because Word cannot

locate the HYPH.DLL file.

Text Area Measurments Are Always Displayed on Ruler

Article ID: Q121610

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Column-width measurements are permanently displayed on the ruler.

CAUSE

=====

There are two potential causes of this problem:

 - The right (secondary) mouse button is accidentally being activated along

   with the left (primary) button.

 - Word was installed with the Swap Left/Right Buttons option activated and

   is using the mouse driver that shipped with Windows 3.1 or Windows for

   Workgroups 3.11. (To locate this option, open Control Panel and choose

   the Mouse icon.)

RESOLUTION

==========

If the right (secondary) mouse button is accidentally being activated, do

the following:

 - Remove the bottom cover of the mouse and check for any debris that

   may be impairing the functionality of the mouse. Replace the cover

   and physically lift the right mouse button. This procedure usually

   resolves the problem.

If Word was installed with the Swap Left/Right Buttons option activated, do

the following:

 - Deactivate the Swap Left/Right Buttons option or upgrade to a later

   version of the Microsoft Mouse driver. (This problem has not been

   reproduced with the driver version 9.01 or later.)

MORE INFORMATION

================

In Word 6.0 for Windows, you can see the exact measurements of a text area

by holding down the ALT key and clicking the horizontal ruler.

Confirm Data Source Dialog Displayed w/MailMergeOpenDataSource

Article ID: Q121611

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-----------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A WordBasic macro that contains the MailMergeOpenDataSource command to

connect a Mail Merge main document to a FoxPro or Dbase data source

displays the Confirm Data Source dialog box. For example, the following

macro prompts you to confirm the data source:

Sub MAIN

Q$ = Chr$(34)

connect$ = "DSN=FoxPro Files;"

connect$ = connect$ + "DBQ=c:\foxprow\foxuser.dbf;"

connect$ = connect$ + "FIL=FoxPro 2.5;"

MailMergeOpenDataSource .Name = "c:\foxprow\foxuser.dbf",

.Connection = connect$

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs when the .SQLStatement argument is omitted from the

MailMergeOpenDataSource command.

RESOLUTION

==========

To eliminate the prompt to confirm the data source, modify the macro to

include the .SQLStatement argument, as in the following example:

Sub MAIN

Q$ = Chr$(34)

connect$ = "DSN=FoxPro Files;"

connect$ = connect$ + "DBQ=c:\foxprow\foxuser.dbf;"

connect$ = connect$ + "FIL=FoxPro 2.5;"

MailMergeOpenDataSource .Name = "c:\foxprow\foxuser.dbf",

.Connection = connect$, .SQLStatement = "Select * from foxuser.dbf"

MS Excel Worksheet Data Source Saves as MacWord Document

Article ID: Q121699

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you use a Microsoft Excel worksheet as a mail merge data source, Word

saves the worksheet in Word document format if you choose Yes when Word

prompts you to save the data source. In other words, Word overwrites the

Microsoft Excel worksheet with a Word document if you choose Yes in

response to the following message:

   <Document Name> is a mail merge main document that is attached

   to a data source <Worksheet Name> that has not been saved. Do

   you want to save <Worksheet Name>?

Word does not warn you that the Microsoft Excel worksheet will be

overwritten with a Word document.

This does not happen with Word for Windows.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

If your mail merge data source is a Microsoft Excel worksheet, do not

modify it by choosing the Edit Data Source button on the Mail Merge toolbar

in Word. Instead, open the worksheet in Microsoft Excel, modify it, and

then save it in Microsoft Excel.

Word Hangs Inserting Caption with Revision Marking Turned On

Article ID: Q121700

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

An hourglass pointer may appear and persist, and Word may appear to hang

(stop responding) when you insert a caption if revision marks are turned

on. (To insert a caption, choose Caption from the Insert menu. To turn on

revision marks, choose Revisions from the Tools menu and select the Mark

Revisions While Editing check box.)

If you press CTRL+ALT+DEL after the hourglass pointer appears, Windows

displays the following error message:

   WINWORD.EXE

   This Windows application has stopped responding to the system.

NOTE: If you press ESC after the hourglass pointer appears (instead of

pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL), Word sometimes endlessly updates the caption

number.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs if you select the Include Chapter Number option in the

Caption Numbering dialog box to add a caption to an existing series of

captions. For example, if your document already contains Figure 3-1 and

Figure 3-2, the problem occurs if you insert Figure 3-3 with revision

marking turned on. (To open the Caption Numbering dialog box, choose

Caption from the Insert menu and choose the Numbering button.)

By contrast, the problem does not occur if you insert the first caption in

a series with revision marking turned on; for example, Word does not hang

when you insert Drawing 1-1.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

and 6.0c for Windows and in Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh. We are

researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Setup Error on Disk 2 with UK (Z) or Australian (AA) Word 6.0c

Article ID: Q121701

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0c, UK English (Z)

   and Australian (AA) international localized version,

   supplied on DMF floppy disks

 - Windows Operating System versions 3.1x

 - Windows for Workgroups Operating System versions 3.1x

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you are running Windows 3.1x or Windows for Workgroups 3.1x and you try

to install the UK English (Z) or Australian English (AA) international

localized versions of Word 6.0c for Windows, supplied on DMF (Distribution

Media Format) disks, then a disk read error followed by the following error

message may occur:

   Word2.CAB cannot be decompressed and may be corrupt.

NOTE: This error does not occur if you install Word 6.0c under Microsoft

Windows NT operating system version 3.5.

CAUSE

=====

The WINWORD6.INF file, located on Word Disk 1, does not properly reference

the format of Disk 2 as DMF, so Setup fails when it tries to read Disk 2.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the Z and AA

international localized versions of Word version 6.0c for Windows supplied

on DMF disks. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

To obtain new or updated Microsoft products, call Microsoft Sales

Information Center at (800) 426-9400. If you are outside the United States,

contact the Microsoft subsidiary for your area. To locate your subsidiary,

call Microsoft International Customer Service at (206) 936-8661.

WORKAROUND

==========

In a text editor such as Windows Notepad, open the WINWORD6.INF file, which

is located on Word Disk 1. In the [Source Media Descriptions] section, type

the following text at the end of each line for Disks 2 through 7 (six lines

altogether):

   ,"dmf"

For example, change the following line in WINWORD6.INF:

    "2","Disk 2","WORD2.cab","..\disk2"

so it reads as follows:

   "2","Disk 2","WORD2.cab","..\disk2","dmf"

After you modify all six lines, save and close WINWORD6.INF, then rerun

Word Setup.

Converting MacWord 5.1 Settings File Resets SHIFT+RETURN

Article ID: Q121702

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you use the instructions in the "Settings Files from Word for the

Macintosh" section on page 219 of "Microsoft Word User's Guide" (Word for

the Macintosh edition, part number WB60460-0794) to convert your Word 5.1

settings file, Word for the Macintosh incorrectly reassigns the

SHIFT+RETURN. When you press SHIFT+RETURN after merging your Word 5.1

settings file, Word inserts a page break instead of a line break. In other

words, Word assigns SHIFT+ENTER functionality to the SHIFT+RETURN key

combination.

NOTE: The Word 5.1 settings file contains custom settings, such as keyboard

shortcuts, styles, command keys, and custom menu items.

Furthermore, after you convert your Word 5.1 settings file, you cannot

reset the SHIFT+RETURN key combination by choosing Customize from the Tools

menu and selecting the Keyboard tab. This means you cannot easily transfer

your Word 5.1 settings to Word 6.0.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

You must quit Word and delete or rename your Normal template to reset these

incorrect keyboard assignments. Then, restart Word and customize the

keyboard settings individually using the Customize command on the Tools

menu.

The disadvantage of this workaround is that by deleting your Normal

template, you also delete any custom macros, toolbars, or commands stored

in that template. If your Normal template contains many custom items, you

can rename the template and then, after you create a new Normal template,

use the Organizer dialog box to copy these items from your old Normal

template to the new one. (To open the Organizer dialog box, choose

Templates from the File menu and then choose the Organizer button.)

How to Ignore User Settings When Starting Word for Windows NT

Article ID: Q121709

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

To ignore user option settings when starting Word 6.0 for Windows NT, start

Word with the /A startup switch or modify the Windows NT Registry.

This functionality is different from Word 6.0 for Windows where starting

Word with the /A startup switch does not ignore the user settings file

(WINWORD.OPT) but does ignore templates and add-ins. In Word 6.0 for

Windows it is not necessary to modify the registration database to ignore

the WINWORD.OPT file.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In Word 6.0 for Windows, user settings are stored in the WINWORD.OPT file

(located in the WINWORD directory). To start Word without loading this

file, you must rename WINWORD.OPT. Word will then re-create this file.

Word for Windows NT does not use the WINWORD.OPT file. Instead, user

settings are stored in the Windows NT Registry under the Data key.

You can use one of the following two methods to test for problems related

to user settings.

Method 1: Start Word for Windows NT with the /A switch. Under Word for

          Windows NT, the /A switch allows you to start Word without

          loading the following components.

           - The global template (NORMAL.DOT)

           - Any add-in templates in the STARTUP directory

           - Any add-in libraries (.WLL files)

           - User settings stored in the Data key in the Windows NT

             Registry

          Assuming that Word is located in the C:\WINWORD directory, you

          can modify the icon properties for Word so that the command line

          appears as follows:

             c:\winword\winword.exe /a

          NOTE: When you start Word with the /A switch, changes you make in

          Word that affect any of the above listed components will not be

          written to disk upon exiting. Thus, those changes will be lost.

          WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious,

          system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT

          to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems

          resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this

          tool at your own risk.

Method 2: Edit the Windows NT Registry to remove the Data key. Since Keys

          in the Windows NT Registry cannot be renamed, use the following

          steps to remove the user settings:

           1. Make sure that Word for Windows NT is not running.

          2. To start the Windows NT Registry Editor, choose Run from the

             File menu in Program Manager. In the Command line box, type

             "regedt32" (without the quotation marks) and choose the OK

             button.

           3. In the Registry window, locate the HKEY_CURRENT_USER

              window.

           4. Within this window, double-click the "Software" entry in

              the list on the left side of the window.

           5. Locate and double-click the "Microsoft" entry.

           6. Locate and double-click the "Word" entry.

           7. Double-click the "6.0" entry to reveal the Word user

              settings.

           8. Locate and single-click the "Data" entry to select it.

           9. From the Edit menu, choose Delete.

          10. Exit the Registry Editor.

          11. Restart Word for Windows NT.

          Upon exiting Word, a new Data key containing default user

          settings will be written to the Registry.

Envelopes Print Incorrectly to LaserWriter Select 300

Article ID: Q121711

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Envelopes may print incorrectly to a LaserWriter Select 300. The line

spacing of the return and destination addresses text may be incorrect; text

may be truncated or overlap. The Manual Feed option does not work

correctly, which causes a regular sheet of paper to be printed.

CAUSE

=====

Word incorrectly addresses the printer driver when printing from the

Tools/Envelope And Labels dialog box.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To print a single envelope correctly from Word 6.0 to the LaserWriter

Select 300, use the following steps:

1. Create a new blank document.

2. From the Tools menu, choose Envelopes And Labels. Select the Envelope

   tab.

3. Type the destination and return addresses.

   NOTE: If you want to omit a return address, do not select the Omit check

   box. Rather, delete the text in the Return Address box. If the Omit

   option box is checked, you will not be able to complete later steps.

4. Choose the Add To Document button.

5. Once the envelope is added to the top of the document, choose Print from

   the File menu.

6. Choose the Range button.

7. In the Pages box, type a "0" (zero, without the quotation marks) and

   choose OK.

8. From the Paper Source list, select Manual.

9. Choose the Print button.

Incorrect Calculation in Drop-Down Form Field Using Macro

Article ID: Q121712

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you perform a calculation in a drop-down form field using the

SetFormResult statement in a macro, the results are incorrect.

CAUSE

=====

Numbers entered in the list are not treated as numeric values; instead,

they are considered text strings. Because the macro is performing a

calculation on text not numbers, the results are incorrect.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem, you can modify your macro to include the

GetFormResult statement in addition to the SetFormResult statement. This

allows the macro to obtain the current values of the drop-down form field.

You must then convert the text strings into numeric values before you can

perform your calculations. Finally, the macro converts the number back to a

string so that the value is displayed correctly in the destination. The

following is a simple macro that demonstrates the use of both GetFormResult

and SetFormResult.

Sub Main

A$ = GetFormResult$("DROPDOWN1")   'Assigns DROPDOWN1 to the variable

A$

B$ = GetFormResult$("DROPDOWN2")   'Assigns DROPDOWN1 to the variable

B$

A = Val(A$)                        'Converts string into a number

B = Val(B$)

C = A + B

SetFormResult "TEXT4", Str$(C)     'set the form result marked by the

                                   'bookmark "text4" and converts the

                                   'value back into a string

Errors Creating Data Source When NORMAL.DOT Contains Text

Article ID: Q121713

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0

---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The following error message is generated immediately after saving a newly

created data document or when trying to create a data source using the

Create Data Source option in the Mail Merge Helper dialog box:

   Word could not merge the main document with the data source because

   the data records were empty or no data records matched your query

   options.

This message may be followed by:

   <Main document name> is a mail merge main document. Word cannot

   find its data source, <data document name>.

Additional symptoms of the same problem include appearance of the dialog

box titled "Header Record Delimiters" and the inability to attach a data

source to the main document in step 2 of the Mail Merge Helper.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs when the current NORMAL.DOT contains boilerplate text

information.

The Create Data Source option uses the default template (NORMAL.DOT) as the

basis for the data document. The data document created by the Mail Merge

Helper will include any boilerplate text from the Normal template and cause

the format of the data source to be invalid.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use one of the following workarounds to correct this problem:

Method 1: To correct an existing data file, open it and remove any

          text that is not part of the data.

Method 2: If your NORMAL.DOT template contains boilerplate text, do the

          following:

          1. Open the NORMAL.DOT template (Choose Open from the File menu,

             select NORMAL.DOT from the TEMPLATE subdirectory of your Word

             program directory and choose the OK button.)

          2. From the File menu, choose Save As, type a new name for

             the template, and choose the OK button.

          3. Close the newly created template.

          4. Reopen NORMAL.DOT and delete the boilerplate text.

          5. Save and close NORMAL.DOT.

Method 3: Create your data source using another blank template before

          initiating the Mail Merge Helper. Use the Open Data Source

          option instead of the Create Data Source option.

Ruler Disappears with Table Selected in Page Layout View

Article ID: Q121789

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If all or part of a table is selected in your Word document, the horizontal

and vertical rulers may disappear. If you scroll to the bottom of the

selection, the rulers reappear. Sometimes they remain displayed if you

scroll back up to the top of the selection.

CAUSE

=====

This happens only in page layout view if your table selection is longer

than one page. By design, the Word horizontal ruler displays the settings

for the last paragraph in a selection (if nothing is selected, Word

displays the settings for the paragraph where the insertion point is

located). Similarly, Word displays the vertical ruler only for the page

where the selection ends (or where the insertion point is located).

Sometimes, when you select all or a column of a longer table (longer than

two pages), Word displays the rulers only when you scroll near the end of

the selection. Once you scroll a couple pages away from the end of the

selection, one or both rulers disappear again.

Section Layout Formatting Not Applied Properly

Article ID: Q121795

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, Continuous section breaks can sometimes

become formatted as New Page section breaks. This problem occurs if your

cursor is in a section that is formatted as Continuous and you click OK to

close the Layout tab of the Document Layout dialog box.

In addition, you may be unable to change the Section Start properties from

New Page to a Continuous Section Start on the Layout tab of the Document

Layout dialog box.

Another related problem occurs when you apply a different Section Start

property to a particular section--this formatting may also be applied to

the section directly following the intended section.

CAUSE

=====

These problems occur because Word is incorrectly applying Section Start

attributes to the section.

WORKAROUND

==========

The section properties can be corrected in the Section Layout dialog box.

To add the Section Layout command to your Format menu and have access to

this dialog box, do the following:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Customize.

2. Select the Menu tab in the Customize dialog box.

3. In the Categories box, select Format.

4. In the Commands box, select FormatSectionLayout and click the Add

   button.

5. Click the Close button.

Section Layout now appears on the Format menu below the Drop Cap command.

NOTE: The Section Layout dialog box works similarly to the Section command

on the Format menu in Word 5.x.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Word Uses UNC Path, Even with NoLongNetNames=Yes

Article ID: Q121808

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Primary Symptom

---------------

If the NoLongNetNames setting is Yes in your WINWORD6.INI file, Word for

Windows uses a universal naming convention (UNC) path instead of a logical

drive letter when you create a link using either of the following methods:

 - Insert Object Command: From the Insert menu, choose Object, select the

   Create From File tab, and select the Link To File check box.

 - Edit Paste Special Command: From the Edit menu, choose Paste Special

   and select the Paste Link option.

For example, Word might insert the following sample LINK field (which

incorrectly uses a UNC path):

   { LINK Word.Document.6 "\\\\SERVER\\NAME\\WINWORD\\FILE.DOC" "" \a \p }

By contrast, if NoLongNetNames=Yes, Word correctly uses a logical drive

letter when you create a link using either of the following commands:

 - Insert File Command: From the Insert menu, choose File, and select

   the Link To File check box.

 - Insert Picture Command: From the Insert menu, choose Picture, and

   select the Link To File check box.

For example, Word might insert the following correct LINK field:

   { LINK Word.Document.6 "G:\\WINWORD\\FILE.DOC" "" \a \p }

Secondary Symptom

-----------------

Under Novell 3.11, when Word incorrectly uses a UNC path, as described

above, either of the following problems may occur:

 - Opening a Word 2.x document in Word 6.0:

   In Word 6.0, if you open a Word 2.x document and update the links, Word

   6.0 converts the drive letter to a UNC path or to a nonexistent,

   nonpersistent logical drive letter, and the following error occurs:

      Error: Cannot update links. <Application name> cannot find

      <filename>.

 - Inserting LINK Using UNC Path:

   If Word 6.0 incorrectly creates a UNC link as described above,

   a general protection (GP) fault occurs in OLE2.DLL.

CAUSE

=====

Word uses two different Windows application program interface (API) calls

to perform the Insert Object and Edit Paste Special commands described

above. Only one of the API calls responds to the NoLongNetNames setting, so

the other API call causes Word to incorrectly use a UNC path in the LINK

field.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

and 6.0c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

1. Insert or paste the object without creating a link. To omit the link,

   clear the Link To File check box in the Edit Paste Special or Insert

   Object dialog box before you choose OK to complete the operation.

2. Select and delete the object you inserted or pasted in step 1.

3. Insert or paste the same object again, but this time, select the Link To

   File check box before you choose OK. This time, Word successfully

   creates a LINK field using the correct drive letter.

Scrolling is Slow in Some Word for the Macintosh Documents

Article ID: Q121844

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for the Macintosh, it sometimes takes a long time to scroll through

a document. By comparison to Word 5.1a for the Macintosh, it may take up to

twice as long to scroll through a document.

Scrolling speed is slower in page layout view. If your document contains a

table, this may also affect scrolling speed.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use one or more of the following procedures to improve the scrolling speed

in Word for the Macintosh:

1. Switch to normal view to scroll through a document.

2. Turn on the Picture Placeholders option. (To locate the Picture

   Placeholders option, choose Options from the Tools menu and select the

   View tab.)

3. Hide nonprinting characters by choosing the Show/Hide Paragraph button

   on the Standard toolbar.

4. If your document contains a table, turn off table gridlines. To do this,

   open the Table menu. If there is a check mark next to the Gridlines

   command, choose Gridlines to remove the check mark.

5. Do not use the DOWN ARROW to scroll through your document, especially

   when you are in page layout view. Instead, use the scroll boxes in the

   scroll bars, or use the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys.

6. Insert bookmarks in your document and then use the Go To command on the

   Edit menu to quickly move the insertion point to a particular location

   in your document.

7. Make sure you are using the optimal display mode on your Macintosh. This

   ensures your Macintosh screen display updates (redraws) as quickly as

   possible.

8. Increase the BitMapMemory and CacheSize settings to improve Word's

   overall performance. To modify these settings, run the

   ToolsAdvancedSettings macro. For more information about these settings

   double-click the Help button on the Standard toolbar and type "readme"

   (without the quotation marks). Select the "Word Settings (6) Options"

   topic.

9. Optimize the overall performance of Word and your Macintosh. For more

   information, please see the following article(s) in the Microsoft

   Knowledge Base:

MacWord Print Job Disappears with QuickDraw GX Running

Article ID: Q121846

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you have QuickDraw GX installed on your Apple Macintosh, your document

may not print from Word for the Macintosh. You may be able to print from

the Finder or Simple Text, but not from Word.

The print job seems to disappear because it does not show up in the print

queue.

CAUSE

=====

You may be using one or more PostScript Type 1 fonts in your document that

has not been converted to GX fonts on your system. Unconverted PostScript

Type 1 fonts do not print from Word 6.0 when QuickDraw GX is running.

You might have PostScript Type 1 fonts on your system if you install Adobe

Illustrator (which installs PostScript Type 1 fonts) after you install

QuickDraw GX. In this case, the Adobe Illustrator PostScript Type 1 fonts

do not get converted to PostScript Type 1 GX fonts.

Troubleshooting

---------------

To determine whether you cannot print due to the above problem, reformat

your document for a bitmapped font, such as New York, Geneva, or Chicago,

then try to print the document from Word. If the document now prints, you

probably have unconverted PostScript Type 1 fonts on your system. Use the

instructions in the "Resolution" section below to resolve this problem.

RESOLUTION

==========

Convert your PostScript Type 1 fonts to PostScript Type 1 GX fonts using

the Type 1 Enabler utility, supplied with QuickDraw GX.

TIP: As a quick, temporary workaround to obtain a printout of the current

     document, do the following:

     1. Save the document.

     2. Reformat the document for a bitmapped font such as New York,

        Geneva, or Chicago.

     3. Print the document.

     4. Close the document without saving the font formatting changes.

The QuickDraw GX and Adobe Illustrator products included here are

manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty,

implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.

Cannot Find or Replace Unused Styles

Article ID: Q121855

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word Styles that have not been used in the current document are not

available when you choose Find or Replace from the Edit menu. (To locate

this option in the Find or Replace dialog boxes, choose Style from the

Format drop-down list.)

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

and 6.0c for Windows; Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh; and Word version

6.0 for Windows NT. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

To make styles available for Edit Find or Edit Replace, you must first

apply the styles in the current document. To do this,

1. Position the insertion point in a paragraph or select some text.

2. From the Format menu, choose Style. If the desired style is not

   displayed in the Styles list box, choose All Styles from the List box.

3. Select the desired Style and choose the Apply button.

FileOpen Command Requires CHR$(34) with Long Filenames

Article ID: Q121856

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If your macro contains a FileOpen command to open a file with a long

filename that contains spaces (for example, FileOpen .Name = "This is a

long doc name.doc"), you receive the error message

   This file could not be found <filename>

for each word within the quotation marks.

This behavior also occurs when you are using a variable, as in the

following example:

   A$ = "This is a long doc name.doc"

   FileOpen .Name = a$

CAUSE

=====

Word interprets each word within the quotation marks as a single file and

cannot find the files because they do not exist. You can specify multiple

filenames inside the quotation marks to open several files at once.

RESOLUTION

==========

You can modify the FileOpen command by adding the CHR$(34) to

indicate the beginning and end of the long filename. This allows

Word to interpret all of the text as a single filename. Using the

above example, your command would appear as follows:

   FileOpen .Name = CHR$(34) + "This is a long doc name.doc" + CHR$(34)

If the filename is contained in the variable A$, the correct FileOpen

command would be:

   FileOpen .Name = Chr$(34) + A$ + Chr$(34)

STATUS

======

This behavior is by design.

WordBasic Macro: Displaying a List of Directories

Article ID: Q121890

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The Microsoft WordBasic CountDirectories() and GetDirectory$() functions

can be used to assemble a list of directory names within the current

directory.

The following example macro inserts the directory names from the current

directory into a new document window:

Sub MAIN

FileNewDefault

num  = CountDirectories()

For i = 1 To num

 Insert GetDirectory$(i)

 InsertPara

Next i

End Sub

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

The following example macro determines how many directories stem from the

current directory and defines an array named SubDirs$() to hold the

directory names:

Sub MAIN

REM Define an array for the directory names

Dim subdirs$(CountDirectories())

subdirs$(0) = "[..]"

For i = 1 To CountDirectories()

 subdirs$(i) = LCase$(GetDirectory$(i))

Next

REM Sort the array of directories and display them in a list box.

SortArray subdirs$()

Begin Dialog UserDialog 396, 154, "Directories Available"

     OKButton 254, 88, 88, 21

     CancelButton 254, 113, 88, 21

     ListBox 18, 21, 215, 114, subdirs$(), .ListBox1

End Dialog

Dim dlg As UserDialog

n = Dialog(dlg)

End Sub

NOTE: The disk that accompanies the Word Developer's Kit includes a macro

that allows you to browse through files in any directory. The macro uses a

dynamic dialog box to display a file and directory list similar to the Open

dialog box in Word. The macro is named ch05ex06FileBrowser and is located

in the EXAMPLES.DOT file.

Article ID: Q121918

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 5.1, 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A framed object in a header that contains text may appear to obscure or

overwrite the text. This behavior occurs, for example, when you left-adjust

Compare Versions Doesn't Mark Formatting/Drawing Layer Changes

Article ID: Q121919

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Compare Versions does not recognize formatting changes as revisions to your

document. For example, changing the font or paragraph characteristics,

applying borders and shading, changing column formatting, and adding

bullets, numbering, or heading numbering are not identified with revision

marks when you run Compare Versions.

In addition, Compare Versions does not identify additions or deletions of

drawing objects, nor does it recognize changes to text within a text box.

STATUS

======

By design, Word 6.0 Compare Versions recognizes text changes, such as

Canadian Postal Codes Not Supported by Bar Codes Feature

Article ID: Q121920

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You cannot generate a bar code for a Canadian or other foreign postal code

that contains alphabetic characters. For example, the following Canadian

postal code does not generate a bar code when you use the Envelopes And

Labels feature in Word:

     V6G 2X3

In addition, if the postal code contains fewer than or more than five

digits, the Envelopes And Labels feature omits the bar code.

CAUSE

=====

By design in Word 6.0, Word's bar code generator recognizes only numeric

characters. The bar code feature in Word is based on U.S. Postal Service

rules. Canadian bar codes, which are generated by the Canadian Postal

Service, consist of a mix of letters and numbers.

".." Doesn't Move to Parent Directory in File Open with UNC

Article ID: Q121932

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you are currently connected to a universal naming convention (UNC)

referenced directory, such as \\servername\sharename, and you type ".."

(without the quotation marks) in the File Name box and click OK, two

periods will appear in the Directories list. (To locate this option, choose

Open from the File menu.) By contrast, typing two periods in the File Name

box when you are connected to a local directory or a network drive

designated by a drive letter, such as S:, correctly selects the parent

directory.

For instance, if the Directories list shows the following list

   \\server\share

     users

       ann

       bob

       joe

and you type two periods in the File Name box and click OK, the Directories

list will show the following:

   \server\share

     ..

       users

         ann

         bob

         joe

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

6.0c for Windows and Word version 6.0 for Windows NT. We are researching

this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge

Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To move from a subdirectory to its parent, double-click the parent

directory name in the Directories list.

Not Enough Memory Starting Word with High CACHESIZE

Article ID: Q121933

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When starting Word for Windows NT, the following error message may appear

before the copyright screen:

   There is not enough memory to run Word.

CAUSE

=====

The CacheSize setting is set to something greater than 2047.

RESOLUTION

==========

Change the CacheSize setting to a value less than or equal to 2047.

CacheSize sets the maximum amount of memory Word will use for caching

Word documents. This value can be increased for better performance.

The valid range for CacheSize is 64 to 2047. The default setting is 64.

The CacheSize value is expressed in kilobytes (KB); therefore, a setting of

2047 is just under 2 megabytes (MB).

Files$() Truncates Paths Longer Than 255 Characters

Article ID: Q121934

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The WordBasic Files$() function truncates file paths that are longer than

255 characters.

CAUSE

=====

The internal buffer used by the Files$() WordBasic function is limited in

size to 255 characters. Any path that is longer than 255 characters will be

truncated.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

To prevent the truncation of the file paths, use one of the following

methods:

 - Move the location of the files being used

   -or-

 - Shorten the directory names to reduce the length of the path to fewer

   than 255 characters.

Incorrect Pages Print with Odd/Even Print Order

Article ID: Q121935

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you choose to print even pages or odd pages, Word does not print the

correct pages. This behavior occurs when you include page numbers that are

numbered differently than the physical pages in the document (for example,

when the first page of your document is defined as page 2, the second page

is defined as page 3, and so forth). In addition, this behavior occurs

whether or not you choose a Section Start equal to Odd or Even pages.

CAUSE

=====

Word looks to the physical pages in your document to determine which pages

are odd and even. Word does not reference any logical page numbering placed

in your document.

RESOLUTION

==========

To correctly print pages which have odd or even page numbers, you can add a

blank page to the beginning of your section or document. When you do this,

the physical page numbers and the logical page numbers are equivalent.

"Not Enough Memory" Pasting to Word for Windows NT

Article ID: Q121936

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Windows 95

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When pasting text into Word for Windows NT copied from another application

in Windows 95, the following error message may result:

   Not enough memory to complete this operation.

CAUSE

=====

Word for Windows NT interacts with the Clipboard in different ways

depending on whether the application that the original text was copied from

is an OLE or non-OLE application.

When pasting text into Word from non-OLE applications, Word for Windows NT

interacts with the Windows 95 Clipboard incorrectly and generates the

insufficient memory error message.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for

Windows NT. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Word for Windows NT can successfully paste text from an OLE application.

To workaround this problem, paste the text into the Windows 95 WordPad

application. Then, copy the text from there back to the Clipboard. The text

can now be pasted into Word for Windows NT.

Word Prints a Documents in Middle of Another

Article ID: Q121937

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When a document with multiple orientations is printed to a network printer,

another user's document may print between sections of your document.

Also, printing a document to a PostScript (PS) file causes a separate

output file each time the orientation and page size changes.

CAUSE

=====

Documents that contain multiple orientations and page sizes print as

separate distinct print jobs in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh. This causes

confusion on network printers because an unrelated print job from another

user could come between different sections of the same document.

This is a limitation of the printing architecture on the Macintosh.

This is not an issue when using the QuickDraw GX printing architecture

because it allows multiple orientations and paper sizes in the same print

job.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Due to the limitations of the printing architecture on the Macintosh, any

files containing multiple orientations or paper sizes will print as

separate jobs. When printing to a file, you can provide a unique filename

for each section of your document that contains a different orientation or

page size. In any event, if you are printing over a network, your print

jobs may be mixed with other users' print jobs.

Hyphens Don't Display Correctly with Numeric Picture Switch

Article ID: Q121938

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.x, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A mergefield that contains the numeric format switch does not return

correct results when the pictorial representation contains hyphens. For

example

   {mergeformat number \# ###-##-####}

produces the following result:

   123 45 6789.

NOTE: You obtain correct results when you use other characters (such as,

the at symbol [@],the forward slash [/], the plus sign [+], or the asterisk

[*]).

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:

Method 1: Enclose the hyphens in apostrophes so that your field appears as

          follows:

             {MERGEFIELD number \# ###'-'##'-'####}

Method 2: (Word for Windows and Word for Windows NT) Use the ANSI code when

          inserting the hyphen. To do this, press ALT+0173 on the numeric

          keypad with NUMLOCK on.

Method 3: Use a nonbreaking hyphen by typing CTRL+SHIFT+- in Word for

          Windows or Option+- in Word for the Macintosh.

SYMPTOMS

========

The WordBasic DefaultDir$() function returns a path in lowercase characters

instead of the correct case. For example, if the current directory is

"C:\WinWord", the DefaultDir$(0) function will return "c:\winword."

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for

Windows NT. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview

--------

Word 6.0 is the most powerful word processing software ever developed

for the Macintosh platform. To get the best possible performance from

Word, you may need to optimize your Macintosh system. This Application

Note contains instructions you can use to optimize your Macintosh. To

optimize your Macintosh, you may need to make adjustments to your

system software (extensions, and fonts) or hardware configuration

(processor type, speed, amount of memory, and available hard disk

space).

For additional information about optimizing the performance of Word

for the Macintosh, including specific instructions for a Macintosh

with 4 to 6 MB of RAM or a Macintosh with at least 6 MB of RAM, order

the "MW1052: Setup and Performance Optimization" Application Note.

Memory Allocation

-----------------

When you install Word, the amount of memory Setup allocates to Word is

based on the amount of memory installed in your Macintosh. On some

systems, Word may run faster if you increase the amount of memory

allocated to the application (with additional memory, Word performs

less-frequent disk swapping). If you usually use Word to work on long

documents, you can probably enhance Word's performance by increasing

its Macintosh system memory allocation. To give more memory to Word,

do the following:

1. Quit Word if it is running. (From the File menu, choose Quit.)

2. In the Finder, select the Microsoft Word application icon.

3. From the File menu in the Finder, choose Get Info.

4. Increase the value in the Preferred Size box (in System 7.1) or the

   Current Size box (in System 7.0). As a reference, if you have 8 MB

   of memory on your Macintosh, change the Preferred Size setting to

   at least 3000K (with 8 MB of RAM, you can go as high as 6000K).

5. Close the Microsoft Word Info window, and then restart your

   Macintosh.

6. If you have a Power Macintosh(TM), turn on the Virtual Memory

   option in the Memory Control Panel window. In the Size box, set the

   minimum Virtual Memory size. (NOTE: If you are using RAM Doubler

   1.5.1, Virtual Memory is unnecessary.)

System Resources

-----------------

Fonts--especially Type 1 PostScript(R) fonts--consume system resources

on your Macintosh. Survey the fonts installed on your computer and

remove any you don't need. (To remove a font, drag it out of the

System file in your System Folder to the Desktop or another folder.)

System Conflicts

----------------

Extensions and Control Panel devices are memory-resident programs that

add functionality to the Macintosh system. These programs, which are

generically referred to as INITs or extensions, are located in the

Extensions and Control Panels folders in the System folder. Sometimes

these files conflict with one another or with a program such as Word,

thereby affecting performance. Use the following procedure, in which

you restart your computer with all extensions turned off (also called

a "clean boot"), to determine whether an extension conflict is

affecting your system's performance:

1. Switch to the Finder.

2. Hold down the SHIFT key and choose Restart from the Special menu.

3. Continue holding down the SHIFT key until the "Welcome to

   Macintosh. Extensions Off" message appears.

4. Start Word and do some work. If Word performs better, you can

   conclude that one or more extensions is affecting the performance

   of your Macintosh. Use the procedure below to isolate the extension

   that is causing a problem.

    NOTE: To reactivate extensions, restart your Macintosh by choosing

    Restart from the Special menu. Do not hold down the SHIFT key.

To Isolate the Problem Extension

--------------------------------

1. Move the Control Panel folder from the System folder to the

   Macintosh Desktop.

2. Restart your computer (from the Special menu, choose Restart).

   If the problem no longer occurs, one of the Control Panel devices

   is the culprit. On the other hand, if the problem still occurs, one

   of the files in your Extensions folder is probably causing the

   conflict. Now that you've identified the "problem folder," you're

   ready to isolate the conflicting extension in that folder.

3. Move the Control Panel folder back to the System folder.

4. Open the problem folder (either the Control Panel or Extensions

   folder), and move half the items from that folder to an empty

   folder on the Desktop.

5. Restart your computer. If the problem still occurs, then the file

   causing the conflict is one of the items that remains in the

   problem folder in the System folder. In this case, continue with

   step 6.

   On the other hand, if the problem no longer occurs, then the file

   that is causing the conflict is one of the items you moved to the

   empty folder on the Desktop. In this case, skip to step 7.

6. If the INIT or extension causing the conflict remains in the

   problem folder:

   a. Move one of the files from the problem folder to the folder on

      the Desktop.

   b. Restart your computer.

   c. As long as the problem continues to occur, repeat steps 6a and

      6b. Once the problem stops occurring, you can conclude that the

      last item you removed from the problem folder is the one that

      conflicts with your system. Skip to step 8.

7. If the INIT or extension causing the conflict is in the folder on

   the Desktop:

   a. Move one of the files from the Desktop folder back to its

      original folder in the System folder.

   b. Restart your computer.

   c. Repeat steps 7a and 7b until the problem recurs. When this

      happens, you can conclude that the last item you moved is the

      one that conflicts with your system.

8. Once you identify the extension or Control Panel device that

   conflicts with your system, call the manufacturer of the extension

   to see if they know about the problem or have a solution for it

   (such as reinstalling the extension or changing its settings). The

   manufacturer may have an updated version of the extension that

   solves the problem. If you still need help after you contact the

   extension manufacturer, you can phone Microsoft Product Support

   Services (PSS) at (206) 635-7200 for information about known

   extensions that conflict with Word. For more assistance

   troubleshooting extension conflicts on the Macintosh, call Apple

   Technical Support at (800) SOS-APPL (767-2775).

    NOTE: The majority of Control Panel devices and extensions do not

    cause system conflicts. In general, printer drivers, network

    drivers, and fonts in the Extensions folder do not conflict with

    most Macintosh systems. Similarly, the "standard" Control Panel

    devices that Apple ships in the Control Panels folder rarely cause

    any problems. Below is a list of the standard Control Panel files

    that Apple supplies with most Macintosh computers:

       Cache Switch (68040         Memory

         processors only)          Monitors

       Color                       Mouse

       Date & Time                 Network

       Easy Access                 Numbers

       File Sharing Monitor        Sharing Setup

       General Controls            Sound

       Keyboard                    Startup Disk

       Labels                      Users & Groups

       Map                         Views

System Maintenance

------------------

You should rebuild your Desktop file on a regular basis, as frequently

as once per month, to maintain overall system performance. Your

Desktop is a hidden database file that contains information about the

files, folders, and other resources on your hard disk. To rebuild your

Desktop, do the following:

1. Hold down the COMMAND and OPTION keys and start your computer.

2. Hold down COMMAND+OPTION until the "Would you like to rebuild the

   Desktop" message appears.

3. Release COMMAND+OPTION and then choose OK.

Other Suggestions

-----------------

 - If you don't need the millions of colors your Macintosh supports,

   reduce the number of colors from millions to thousands, 256, or

   even 16 colors. With fewer colors active, your Macintosh does not

   take as long to redraw the screen, and overall performance may

   improve. To change the Colors setting, choose Control Panels from

   the Apple menu, and double-click the Monitors icon.

 - If you have at least 16 MB of memory, create a RAM disk in which to

   run Word. To create a RAM disk, choose Control Panels from the

   Apple menu, and double-click the Memory icon. For more information,

   see your Macintosh system documentation.

 - In Word, work in normal view instead of page layout view whenever

   possible. In page layout view, Word takes longer to redraw the

   screen.

 - Select the Background Printing option that best fits the way you

   work. With Background Printing turned on, your document prints a

   bit more slowly, but you can continue working in Word while your

   document prints. With Background Printing turned off, your document

   prints quickly, but you cannot work in Word until the print job is

   finished. To change the Background Printing option, do the

   following:

   1. From the Apple menu, choose Chooser.

   2. In the Chooser window, select your printer icon.

   3. If Background Printing is available for your printer, select the

      On or Off option as appropriate, then close the Chooser window.

WordBasic Macro: Moving Through Each Cell in a Table

Article ID: Q122049

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When you write Word for Windows macros, you may need to move through each

table cell applying formatting or inserting text. The following sample

macro uses a While loop to move through each cell in the table, formatting

the contents of each cell with bold formatting.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Sub MAIN

If SelInfo(12) = - 1 Then

 TableSelectTable

 StartOfRow

 EditGoTo "\cell"

 FormatFont .Bold = 1

 While NextCell() <> 0

  EditGoTo "\cell"

  FormatFont .Bold = 1

 Wend

End If

End Sub

The following macro instructions are used to move the insertion point to

the beginning of the table:

   TableSelectTable

   StartOfRow

The EditGoTo instruction uses the reserved "\cell" bookmark to select the

contents of the cell so that formatting can be applied to the text. A While

loop is used to move through each cell in the table. The NextCell()

function returns a 0 (zero) when the insertion point is within the final

cell of the table. The following macro instruction loops through the cells

in the table while the NextCell() function returns a value other than 0

(zero):

   While NextCell() <> 0

Multilevel Numbering Broken in Table After Removing Numbering

Article ID: Q122169

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Remove button in the Format Bullets and Numbering dialog box may be

unavailable (dimmed) after you remove Multilevel numbering from a table.

This means you cannot remove other numbering formatting from the table

unless you use the Numbering button on the Standard toolbar.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior occurs only if you remove the Multilevel numbering from the

first column of the table. Specifically, the Remove button is unavailable

if you select any column other than column 1 or if you select a single

cell. By contrast, the Remove button is available if you position the

insertion point in a single cell (but do not select anything) in any column

other than column 1.

NOTE: The Remove button remains available, as expected, if you remove

Multilevel numbering from any column other than the first.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

If the Remove button becomes unavailable, as described above, use the

Numbering button on the Standard toolbar to remove any additional numbering

formatting from your table.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following is a sample table to which Multilevel numbering formatting

has been applied:

   +--------------+-------------+-----------+--------------+

   | 1.           | 1.          | 1.        | 1.           |

   |--------------+-------------+-----------+--------------|

   | 2.           | 2.          | 2.        | 2.           |

   |--------------+-------------+-----------+--------------|

   | 3.           | 3.          | 3.        | 3.           |

   |--------------+-------------+-----------+--------------|

   | 4.           | 4.          | 4.        | 4.           |

   +--------------+-------------+-----------+--------------+

Below is a sample table in which numbering formatting was removed from the

first column. In this table, the Remove button is unavailable if you select

any column other than column 1, or if you select a single cell.

   +--------------+-------------+-----------+--------------+

   |              | 1.          | 1.        | 1.           |

   |--------------+-------------+-----------+--------------|

   |              | 2.          | 2.        | 2.           |

   |--------------+-------------+-----------+--------------|

   |              | 3.          | 3.        | 3.           |

   |--------------+-------------+-----------+--------------|

MacWord DocErr: "Cannot Open File" Error in INCLUDETEXT Field

Article ID: Q122193

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you insert an INCLUDETEXT field in a Word for the Macintosh document,

the following error message appears in place of the field results:

   Error! Cannot open file.

When you manually insert an INCLUDETEXT field in your document, this error

occurs if you do not enclose the filename in quotation marks.

CAUSE

=====

In Word for the Macintosh, you must enclose the filename argument for an

INCLUDETEXT field in quotation marks. When you insert the INCLUDETEXT field

using the Field command on the Insert menu, Word fails to add the necessary

quotation marks, as shown in the incorrect example that appears on page 728

of the "Microsoft Word User's Guide" (document number WB60460-0794):

   {INCLUDETEXT HardDisk:Proposals:Park Project Final Bid \* MERGEFORMAT}

Below is the correct syntax for this INCLUDETEXT field in Word for the

Macintosh:

   {INCLUDETEXT "HardDisk:Proposals:Park Project Final Bid" \* MERGEFORMAT}

NOTE: This does not occur in Word for Windows. The INCLUDETEXT field

behaves the same way, whether or not you enclose the filename in quotation

marks.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

In the INCLUDETEXT field, enclose the filename in quotation marks, as shown

in the CAUSE section above. (To display field codes in your document, press

OPTION+F9. To switch between a single field code and its result, select the

field and press SHIFT+F9.)

MacWord: Drag and Drop Between Applications Does Not Work

Article ID: Q122194

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use the drag-and-drop feature to move text or graphics from Word

for the Macintosh to another application, the selection does not move to

the other application.

CAUSE

=====

The drag-and-drop feature works only if the destination application

supports OLE 2.0. If the application supports an earlier version of OLE, or

if it does not support OLE at all, you cannot perform drag-and-drop editing

between Word and that application. If you try to drag a selection to an

application that does not support OLE 2.0, the operation simply does not

occur.

The following Microsoft applications support OLE 2.0:

   Microsoft Excel 5.0

   Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0

   Microsoft Word 6.0

MORE INFORMATION

================

It is more obvious in Microsoft Word for Windows when an application does

not support OLE 2.0 because the mouse pointer changes to a "not permitted"

symbol when you drag an object into an application that does not support

OLE 2.0.

Troubleshooting Macintosh System Errors That Occur in MacWord

Article ID: Q122195

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 5.0, 5.1, 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Occasionally, a Macintosh System error occurs when you perform an operation

in Word for the Macintosh. Although you may see the message while you are

working in Word, the error is usually caused by the Macintosh system

software. This article provides general steps for determining how to

address a system error generated by Word for the Macintosh.

An example of a Macintosh System error occurs if you double-click the

Microsoft Word application icon and a System error of Type 1 or Type 3

occurs.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Use the following five steps to troubleshoot System error problems

that occur in Word.

Step 1: Test Extensions

-----------------------

Extensions and Control Panel files add functionality to your Macintosh

system. Sometimes one of these files conflicts with a program by attempting

to store its information at a location in memory where another program

stores its information.

If you have System 7, you can temporarily disable extensions by pressing

and holding down the SHIFT key and then starting your computer. Continue

holding down the SHIFT key until the "Welcome to Macintosh Extensions Off"

message disappears. To reactivate extensions, restart your computer by

choosing Restart from the Special menu.

NOTE: If the System error caused your computer to stop responding (hang),

shut down the machine (turn off the power if necessary), then restart with

extensions off, as described above.

If the System error does NOT recur in Word, one of your extensions or

Control Panel files is probably causing the problem. Isolate the problem

file, or contact Apple Technical Support at (800) SOS-APPL for assistance.

If the System error DOES recur in Word, continue with step 2.

Step 2: Rebuild the Desktop File

--------------------------------

You should rebuild your Desktop file on a regular basis--as frequently as

once per month. Your Desktop consists of a pair of invisible system files

that maintain information about the files and folders on your hard disk.

To rebuild your Desktop file, hold down the OPTION and COMMAND (Apple) keys

and start your computer. Hold down the OPTION and COMMAND keys until the

"Would you like to rebuild the Desktop" message appears. Then release them

and choose OK.

If the System error no longer occurs in Word after you rebuild your

Desktop, you can conclude that you had a damaged Desktop file.

If the System error DOES recur in Word, continue with step 3.

Step 3: Test the Word Settings File

-----------------------------------

Quit Word if it is still running. If you're not sure whether Word is still

running, choose the Finder icon on the right end of the menu bar. If

Microsoft Word appears on the menu, Word is still running. In this case,

choose Microsoft Word from the Finder menu. Then choose Quit from the File

menu.

Open the Preferences Folder in the System Folder, and drag the Word

Settings (5) or the Word Settings (6) file from the Preferences Folder and

drop it next to the Trash icon. Be sure you do not double-click this file,

because it starts Word; if this happens, quit Word again before you

continue.

If the System error no longer occurs in Word after you disable your Word

Settings file, you can conclude that your Word Settings file is damaged. In

this case, drag the Word Settings file to the Trash. When no Word Settings

file exists, Word creates a new one with default settings when you quit

Word.

If the System error DOES recur in Word, continue with step 4.

Step 4: Test the System

-----------------------

To rule out system corruption as the cause of your System error in Word,

start (boot) your Macintosh using a Disk Tools disk, which is supplied with

your Apple Macintosh System 7 disks. This disk contains programs you can

use to initialize, test, and repair disks. (If you have System 6, use the

System Tools or System Startup Disk.)

To start your Macintosh using the Disk Tools disk, insert that disk in the

internal floppy disk drive and then restart your computer. If your computer

ejects the disk, immediately push it back into the disk drive.

If the System error no longer occurs in Word, you can conclude that your

System or Finder file on the hard disk is damaged. In this case, you must

reinstall your Macintosh system software. Be sure to delete the old System

and Finder files before you reinstall the system software using your Apple

System Install disks. For assistance, check your Apple Macintosh manual, or

contact Apple technical support. (NOTE: It's always a good idea to back up

your hard disk before you reinstall the Macintosh system software.)

If the System error DOES recur in Word, you may have a problem with the

hard drive driver; continue with step 5.

Step 5: Run the Hard Drive Updater If You Have System 7

-------------------------------------------------------

Run the HDSC Setup program, which is located on the Disk Tools disk. When

prompted, choose Update, then restart your computer.

IMPORTANT: If no options are available in the HDSC Setup program, your hard

disk may be formatted with something other than Apple Macintosh software.

If the System error no longer occurs in Word, you can conclude that your

hard drive driver was damaged or that your hard disk was originally

formatted with System 6. In the latter case, the HDSC Setup program updated

the hard drive driver for use with System 7.

If the System error still recurs in Word, reinstall your Word program.

Text Form Field Inserted as AutoText Creates New Styles

Article ID: Q122197

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you insert a Text form field in a document, create an AutoText entry

for the Text form field, and then insert the AutoText entry in your

document, Word for Windows adds all your AutoText names to the Style box on

the Formatting toolbar and to the Styles list in the Style dialog box.

Similarly, when you create and insert an AutoText entry for a text box in

the drawing layer, Word adds the AutoText name to the Style box and Styles

list for any AutoText entry that contains a drawing object.

This behavior does not occur in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, nor does it

occur in Word 6.0 for Windows NT.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

and 6.0c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

You can delete these styles by selecting them from the Styles list in the

Style dialog box and then choosing the Delete button.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Syntax

------

Outline [On]

Outline()

The On argument tells the Outline statement to add or remove the

outline format. The On argument can have the following values:

   Value        Result

   -------------------------------------------------------------------

   1            Applies the outline format to the current selection.

   0 (zero)     Removes the outline format from the current selection.

   Omitted      Toggles the outline format.

The Outline statement adds or removes the outline character format for the

current selection. It can also be used to control the outline format for

characters to be inserted at the insertion point.

The Outline() function checks the format of the current selection and

returns the following values:

   Value        Format

   -----------------------------------------------------------------

   0 (zero)     If none of the selected text has the Outline format.

   -1           If part of the selected text has the Outline format.

   1            If all of the selected text has the Outline format.

NOTE: In Windows, the Outline and Outline() commands are not available and

generate errors if used.

Examples

--------

The following macro uses the Outline command to turn on the outline

character format for the whole document.

Sub MAIN:

EditSelectAll

Outline 1

End Sub

The following macro checks to see if any of the currently selected text has

the outline format. If none of the selected text has the outline format,

the macro applies the Outline format to the selection.

Sub MAIN:

If (Outline() = 0) Then

   Outline

End If

Explanation: High Resource Consumption w/ Word for Windows NT

Article ID: Q122204

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word 6.0 for Windows NT may consume large amounts of CPU resources even if

you are not typing or performing other activities within a document.

CAUSE

=====

Word has many background processes that it runs when you are not performing

any tasks. Because these processes run at a very low priority, they do not

degrade the performance of other applications running on the same system.

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When other activities are occurring on the Windows NT system, Word

background processes do not impair the performance of those processes

unless those processes are operating with an even lower priority. Through

the Windows NT process scheduler, Word is allocated available CPU resources

after higher priority processes have received the resources they need.

This ensures that Word background processes can still run quickly without

impeding the performance of other running applications.

Examples of Word background processes include the following:

 - Repagination

 - Updating SEQ fields

 - Checking and performing AutoSave

 - Checking and performing "On Time" WordBasic macros

 - Processing any pending DDE messages

 - Updating screen displays

 - Updating automatic links

If, at any time, you begin typing or accessing other features in Word, the

background processes are immediately halted.

Spelling Files Are Installed Incorrectly w/ Workstation Setup

Article ID: Q122228

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you perform a workstation installation of Word 6.0c for Windows, the

spelling files (MSSPEL2.DLL and MSSP2_EN.LEX) are incorrectly installed to

the local hard disk drive or the user's directory on the network server.

This problem occurs even though the system administrator has specified that

the shared applications be run from the server. This problem does not occur

with any other proofing tools.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem, remove the spelling files that were installed

to the local directory or the user's directory on the server, and modify

the WINWORD6.INI file to point to the correct server location for the

spelling files.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When you install Word for Windows on the server, the spelling files are

installed in the WINWORD\SHARED directory. When you perform a workstation

installation, the spelling files should remain in the SHARED directory when

the system administrator specifies that the shared applications be run from

the network. The WINWORD6.INI file should be updated to point to the server

location for the spelling files.

If Windows is installed locally, the files are installed to the

\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\PROOF directory. If the workstations are using a shared

Windows directory, the files are placed in the MSAPPS directory for the

user's directory on the network server.

Dialog Boxes Don't Display Eastern European Characters

Article ID: Q122229

------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you are using the U.S. English version of Word for Windows, Eastern

European special extended characters do not display in dialog boxes.

CAUSE

=====

The version of DIALOG.FON that ships with U.S. English Word for Windows

does not support Eastern European extended characters from 127-159 in the

U.S. code page 437. This means that dialog boxes, such as the Spelling

dialog box, are affected. For example, if you to use the Polish spell

checker with U.S. English Word for Windows, special extended characters for

the Polish language (from 127-159) are not displayed in the Suggestions

dialog box when the U.S. English version of DIALOG.FON is being used.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word versions

6.00, 6.00a, and 6.00c for Windows. We are researching this problem and

will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it

becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

================

By default, Word for Windows uses the font file DIALOG.FON to generate the

characters in both internal and user-defined dialog boxes. This file is

shipped with Word 6.0 and is the only font supported by Microsoft for use

in Word dialog boxes. By default, this font is located in the Word program

directory.

DIALOG.FON was specifically designed to display text attractively in Word

dialog boxes at a variety of screen resolutions. The DIALOG.FON font

provides a rich extended character set.

NOTE: If the DIALOG.FON font is deleted or becomes otherwise unavailable,

Word attempts to substitute the MS Sans Serif screen font(SSERIFE.FON).

Microsoft does not support the use of third-party fonts in Word for Windows

dialog boxes.

Microsoft does not support substituting a foreign version of DIALOG.FON in

U.S. English Word for Windows and cannot guarantee the performance of this

action.

Bookmark at Beginning of Document Is Not Saved in Template

Article ID: Q122231

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you define a bookmark at the beginning of a new document or template,

add another bookmark in the header or footer, and then save the document as

a template, the bookmark at the beginning of the document is deleted. The

bookmark in the header is retained.

STATUS

File Open Dialog Doesn't List Files with Different Extensions

Article ID: Q122232

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, NT version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you add or modify the DOC-EXTENSION line (located in the WINWORD6.INI

file) to specify a default file extension, the File Open dialog box

displays "*.DOC" (without the quotation marks) in the File Name text box,

and the List Files of Type box appears empty. When you select Word

Documents from the List Files Of Type box, Word uses the default extension

you specified on the DOC-EXTENSION line in the WINWORD6.INI file. However,

the File Open dialog box displays correctly during the current session of

Word only.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs when your WINWORD6.INI file includes the following

statement:

   DOC-EXTENSION=.TXT

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word versions

6.00, 6.00a, and 6.00c for Windows and Microsoft Word version 6.00 for

Windows NT. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

You can use a macro so that the File Open dialog box automatically uses the

specific default extension in every session.

Word 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c for Windows

------------------------------------

  Sub MAIN

    Ext$ = GetPrivateProfileString$("Microsoft Word",

"DOC-EXTENSION", "WINWORD6.INI")

"That That" and "Had Had" Not Flagged as Repeated Words

Article ID: Q122233

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 4.0, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0

SYMPTOMS

========

The Grammar and Spelling commands do not identify "that that" or "had had"

as repeated words. This behavior is different from that of previous Word

versions.

CAUSE

=====

The Grammar and Spelling commands recognize that these two words can be

repeated within a sentence. Although such constructions are not

grammatically correct in the strictest sense, they are generally accepted

in colloquial English.

Printer Won't Pull Envelope from Envelope Feeder w/Word

Article ID: Q122238

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

With Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, you cannot print envelopes directly from

the Envelope dialog box to the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJets (4M, 4M+,

4Si MX, 4MV, and IIISi) or the LaserWriter Pro 600 or 630 optional envelope

feeder. (To locate the Envelope dialog box, choose Envelopes And Labels

from the Tools menu, and select the Envelopes tab.)

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs because the Envelope feature uses a standard 8.5-by-11-

inch (U.S. Letter) page to image the envelope. Because it is not an

envelope size, the Envelope Feeder option is not available in the Print

dialog box, and, therefore, the printer will not pull an envelope from the

feeder. The result is that your envelope is printed on a regular piece of

paper.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

For Word to print to an envelope feeder on a HP LaserJet (4M, 4M+, 4Si MX,

4MV or IIISi) or the LaserWriter Pro 600 or 630, you must set up Word as

follows:

1. Configure the LaserJet/LaserWriter printer driver so that the envelope

   feeder is installed. (See "Configuring the Printer Driver" below.)

2. Establish a special setting in Word to open the Page Setup dialog box

   directly after you click the Print button (in the Envelope dialog box).

   (See "Setting the Printer Heuristic in Word" below.)

3. Select an actual envelope size in the Page Setup dialog box. (See

   "Creating and Printing the Envelope" below.)

4. Select the Envelope Feeder option in the Print dialog box. (See

   "Creating and Printing the Envelope" below.)

Configuring the Printer Driver

------------------------------

The LaserJet 4M, 4M+, 4Si MX, 4MV, and IIISi or the LaserWriter Pro 600 and

630 can use any of several different base printer drivers, but the

recommended drivers are:

 - The version 8.x HP LaserJet driver (8.1.1 or later preferred)

 - The version 8.x Apple LaserWriter driver

 - The Adobe PSPrinter driver

All three drivers are based on the same core driver, so it doesn't matter

which one you use. However, using any of the following drivers will NOT

work in this scenario:

 - The version 2.12 or 2.2 HP LaserJet 4M driver

 - The version 2.2 LaserJet 4Si MX driver

 - The version 7.x of the LaserWriter driver

The driver must be version 8.0 or later of the above drivers, with 8.1.1 or

later preferred.

To configure the printer driver:

1. From the Apple menu, choose Chooser.

2. Locate the printer driver for your LaserJet/LaserWriter and select it.

3. Select the actual printer in the "Select a <Printer Driver Name>

   Printer" list.

4. Click Setup.

5. Click Auto Setup. Click OK.

   The PPD should be automatically selected for you.

   NOTE: If you get a warning message that the correct PPD cannot be

   located, make sure that you have the PPD for your printer in the Printer

   Descriptions folder (either in the System folder or in the Extensions

   folder). If you ran HP's standard setup for the driver, these files

   should already be properly installed.

   Valid PPDs for the HP LaserJet Series 4 Printers (and their

   corresponding models) are:

      PPD                              Model

      --------------------------------------------------------

      HP LaserJet 4Si MX               LaserJet 4Si MX

      HP LaserJet 4Si MX (300 dpi)     LaserJet 4Si MX

      LaserJet 4                       LaserJet 4M, 4MV, and 4M+

      LaserJet 4 (300 dpi)             LaserJet 4M, 4MV, and 4M+

      HP LaserJet IIISi                LaserJet IIISi v2012.021

      HP LaserJet IIISi                LaserJet IIISi v52.3

6. Click Configure.

7. Click Envelope Feeder and from the list, select Installed. There may be

   other settings in this dialog box. Choose the correct settings for your

   printer. Click OK, and then click OK again.

   NOTE: If you do not know certain items of your printers configuration,

   the Printer Info button in the Printer Setup dialog may provide the

   information. The dialog will tell you whether or not certain options are

   installed including the types of networks supported and how much memory

   is installed in the printer.

8. Close the Chooser.

Setting the Printer Heuristic in Word

-------------------------------------

Word has a setting (called a printer heuristic) that forces the Page Setup

dialog box to appear after you click the Print button in the Envelopes

dialog box. This dialog box allows you to set the paper size to that of an

envelope so that the printer will use the envelope feeder when you send the

print job.

NOTE: You need set this heuristic only once for your selected printer. You

do not need to set the heuristic each time you print an envelope.

To set this heuristic:

1. In Word, choose Macro from the Tools menu.

2. Type "ToolsAdvancedSettings" (without the quotation marks). Click Run.

3. In the Advanced Settings dialog box, select your printer from the

   Categories list. (It should be something like LaserJet 8.0 or

   LaserWriter 8.1.1)

4. Press TAB to select the text in the Option text box. Delete the text (if

   any) and type "Flags" (without the quotation marks).

5. Press TAB to select the text in the Setting text box. Delete the text

   and type "4" (without the quotation marks). Then, click Set and click

   OK.

6. Quit Word and then restart Word. (The setting is not saved until you

   quit Word.)

Creating and Printing the Envelope

----------------------------------

1. From the Tools menu, select Envelopes And Labels.

2. Select the Envelopes tab.

3. Type in the Destination and Return Addresses.

4. Click Print. The Page Setup dialog box appears.

5. Set Orientation to Landscape and set Paper Size to Env Comm10. Click OK.

   The Print dialog box appears.

6. In the Print dialog box, select Envelope Feeder from the Paper Source

   list. Click Print.

The envelope should pull from the Envelope Feeder.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To obtain a newer version of the LaserJet driver, contact the HP Driver

Distribution Center at  (303) 353-7650. Also, current versions of the

LaserJet driver can be found on CompuServe in the HP Peripheral (GO HPPER)

or HP Special Forum (GO HPSPECIAL).

CountDirectories() Fails on Novell NetWare Server Drive

Article ID: Q122309

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The Microsoft WordBasic CountDirectories() function does not include

subdirectories in empty directories on a Novell NetWare server drive.

Consider the following directory structure:

   F:\DOCS

   F:\DOCS\1995

   F:\DOCS\Plan

If the current directory is F:\DOCS, the CountDirectories() function should

return 2 in order to indicate that there are two directories in the DOCS

directory. However, if the DOCS directory doesn't contain any files, the

CountDirectories() function returns zero (0) when the current drive is a

Novell NetWare server drive.

WORKAROUND

==========

The following WordBasic function uses Windows API calls to determine how

many directories stem from the current directory.

MacWord: 1.44-MB Floppy Disk Drive Required to Setup w/ Disks

Article ID: Q122374

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

To install Word for the Macintosh using disks, you must have a 1.44-

megabyte (MB) floppy disk drive (Super Drive). You cannot install Word on a

Macintosh with only an 800-kilobyte (K) floppy disk drive.

Once installed, however, Word does not require a 1.44-MB disk drive. As a

result, if your computer does not have a 1.44-MB disk drive but otherwise

meets the hardware requirements, you can install Word from a network

server.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Macintosh II is the only computer with a 68020 processor that Apple

shipped without a 1.44-MB floppy disk drive. Other Macintosh computers that

do not have a 1.44-MB disk drive (such as the Macintosh 128K, 512K, 512Ke,

Plus, and SE) also do not have the required 68020 processor.

COMMAND+OPTION+V to insert the AutoText entry, either Word for the

Macintosh quits unexpectedly, or the following message is displayed in the

status bar:

   The specified text is not a valid AutoText name. Use Edit AutoText

   to create AutoText entries.

NOTE: This problem does NOT occur if you do the same tasks in the Address

box in the Labels area of the Envelopes And Labels dialog box.

CAUSE

=====

Word unexpectedly quits if you type a space after the name of the AutoText

entry before pressing COMMAND+OPTION+V. If you do not type a space after

the name of the AutoText entry, the error message is displayed.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

In the Envelopes And Labels dialog box, choose the Add To Document button

before you type anything in the Delivery Address box. Then you can type the

name of the AutoText entry, with or without a trailing space, and press

COMMAND+OPTION+V to insert the AutoText entry.

MacWord 6.0: When and How to Rebuild the Registration Database

Article ID: Q122378

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article explains when and how to rebuild the Registration Database

file on the Macintosh operating system. This troubleshooting step rules out

the possibility that the Registration Database file is damaged (corrupted).

When to Rebuild the Registration Database

-----------------------------------------

You may want to rebuild the Registration Database as part of normal

troubleshooting for the following problems (this list is not exclusive):

 - OLE 2.0 problems (not OLE 1.0 problems)

 - Maintenance mode setup problems in which the Microsoft Word Setup

   program incorrectly indicates that items have not been installed when,

   in fact, they are installed.

 - Word cannot locate its Help files. Word prompts you for the location of

   the Word Help file, even when the Help files are correctly installed in

   the Word Folder. If rebuilding the Macintosh Desktop does not resolve

   this problem, then rebuild the Registration Database file.

How to Rebuild the Registration Database

----------------------------------------

1. Quit any open applications.

2. Open the Preferences Folder in the System Folder.

3. Back up the Registration Database file by copying it to a floppy disk.

4. Delete the Registration Database file from the Preferences:System

   folder on your hard disk.

5. Close the System Folder.

6. Open the Microsoft Folder, which is located at the same level as the

   Word 6.0 folder.

7. Double-click each application in the Microsoft Folder to register them.

8. Start Word to register it.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When you install an application, Setup registers the application in the

Registration Database file. The Registration Database also contains

information about OLE 2.0 functionality.

NOTE: The Embedding Preferences file contains information regarding OLE 1.0

functionality. If you delete either the Registration Database or Embedding

Preferences file, the system re-creates the file when you start an OLE 1.0

or OLE 2.0 application.

For a list of files that are installed by Word 6.0, please see the

following article(s) in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Error Saving Document: "Network Or File Permission Error..."

Article ID: Q122379

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you are working over a network and you save a document in Word, the

following error message is displayed:

   There has been a network or file permission error.

   The network connection may be lost. <FILENAME.DOC>

CAUSE

=====

This error message appears when the document is open on two or more

computers that are running different operating platforms. For example, if

the document is open on a Macintosh computer and you open it on a second

computer running Windows or Windows NT, the error occurs when either user

tries to save the document.

This problem stems from a difference between the ways Macintosh OLE and

Windows OLE open files. As a result, you cannot save a file on two

different operating platforms at the same time.

WORKAROUND

==========

Method 1: Move the document to your local hard disk for editing. Move

          it back to the server after you finish.

Method 2: Save a copy of the file under a different filename and work

          on the copy, either on your hard disk or on the server.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

and 6.0c for Windows and Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh. We are

researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Article ID: Q122391

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Characters at the left or right side of an Equation Editor 2.0 object may

be cropped when you print to a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printer.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs because some calculation errors occur within the

printer driver during computation of the printing size of the equation

object.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the following printer

drivers:

 - HP LaserJet Series II, IIP, and IID drivers version 2.1, universal

   printer driver 3.1.2

 - HP LaserJet III, IIIP, IIID, and IIISi drivers version 31.3.89

 - HP LaserJet III, IIIP, IIID, and IIISi version 2.1, universal printer

   driver 3.1.4

RESOLUTION

==========

Use one of the following methods to correct the problem:

 - Select the Print TrueType As Graphics option in the printer driver. To

   do this, use the following steps:

   1. From the File menu, choose Print.

   2. In the Print dialog box, choose the Printer button.

   3. Choose the Options button.

   4. Select the Print True Type As Graphics option.

   5. Choose the OK button.

   6. Choose the Close button.

   7. Choose the OK button to print the document.

   -or-

 - Upgrade to Equation Editor version 2.0a. This version is included with

   Word version 6.0a for Windows.

   NOTE: After upgrading your version of Word, all equations exhibiting the

   problem must be updated. To do this, double-click each equation object

   to edit, then immediately click back in the document area. This updates

   the equation object to the new version of Equation Editor.

   -or-

 - Change to a different printer driver that is supported by your

   printer.

Word 6.0 for Macintosh Starts Slowly

Article ID: Q122392

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

It takes a long time to start Word 6.0 for the Macintosh.

CAUSE

=====

This problem is generally caused by a large number of fonts installed on a

system. PostScript and bitmap/screen fonts are more likely to cause a

longer startup time than are TrueType fonts.

Each time Word starts, Word lists and reads all the fonts available on the

system. It uses this data to support kerning and other font functions that

Word 5.x does not support.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

To reduce the amount of time required to start Word, use one of the

following methods:

 - Remove any fonts that are infrequently or never used.

   -or-

 - If you are using Suitcase II for the Macintosh, you may be able to

   disable some sets of fonts.

Word Prints EPS Header to PostScript Printer Under Windows NT

Article ID: Q122394

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 1.1x, 2.x, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Windows NT version 3.1

 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you are running Microsoft Word for Windows under Windows NT 3.1 and

you print an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) graphic from Word to a

PostScript printer, the graphic does not print. In its place, the EPS

header text or the EPS preview bitmap (if available) prints.

CAUSE

=====

Windows NT 3.1 does not notify Word as to whether the current printer is

PostScript or non-PostScript. As a result, Word assumes the printer is not

PostScript and sends the non-PostScript version of the graphic (the preview

bitmap or the EPS header text) instead of the EPS code.

This affects all 16-bit, Windows-based applications that use printer type

information to print correctly.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT

Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem was corrected in Windows NT

Workstation version 3.5 and Windows NT Server version 3.5.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Word prints EPS graphic files in one of the following ways, depending on

the printer type and whether your graphic contains a preview image:

 - On a PostScript printer, Word uses the PostScript code in the EPS

   graphic to render the image on the printed page.

 - On a non-PostScript printer, if your EPS graphic does not include a

   preview image, Word displays and prints a thin box that contains

   text information from the file header.

 - On a non-PostScript printer, if your EPS graphic includes a preview

   image, Word displays and prints the preview image, which is usually

   a TIFF bitmap.

GP Fault Starting or Using Word 6.0 Under Windows NT 3.1

Article ID: Q122395

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Windows NT version 3.1

 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you start Microsoft Word version 6.0 for Windows under Windows NT

version 3.1, you receive a General Protection (GP) fault.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT

Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem was corrected in the latest U.S.

Service Pack for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. For

information about obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word

Table of Contents Entries Appear in All Caps

Article ID: Q122402

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Entries in the table of contents appear in All Caps, even though the TOC

styles don't include this format. Selecting the text in the table of

contents and examining the formatting reveals that All Caps formatting is

not applied. This problem occurs whether you applied All Caps formatting to

the text manually or directly (that is, using Heading styles).

CAUSE

=====

Unlike other font formats, the All Caps character format actually changes

the internal representation of the characters to capital letters. Thus, the

table of contents considers the text to have been typed in capital letters

and shows it as such.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word versions

6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c for Windows; in Microsoft Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh; and in Microsoft Word version 6.0 for Windows NT. We are

researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

To avoid this problem, the best method is to not use All Caps format for

text that will be included in the table of contents.

Alternatively, when you finalize the table of contents, select the table of

contents and press CTRL+SHIFT+F9 to unlink the TOC field and cause the TOC

results to become normal text. (NOTE: Once the TOC field is unlinked, it

becomes normal text instead of a field, and you will not be able to update

it.) Select the table of contents text and remove the All Caps formatting.

Note that this will change all the selected text to lower case.

MacWord Setup Selects an Incorrect Destination Folder

Article ID: Q122406

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Microsoft Word for the Macintosh incorrectly selects a destination folder

during Setup. Or, after choosing a destination folder, you receive the

following error message:

   Microsoft Word 6.0 Setup was not completed successfully.

CAUSE

=====

These problems occur when you have either Super Boomerang (a utility that

ships with Now Utilities) or Norton's Directory Assistance II installed on

your system. Both of these programs modify how applications select folders.

For example, your applications suggest the most recent, previous folder in

File Open and Save dialog boxes when either of these products are

installed. This same behavior occurs when you run Word Setup.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a compatibility problem between

Microsoft Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh and Norton Directory

Assistance II and between Word and Super Boomerang 4.0. We are researching

this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge

Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:

 - Before running Microsoft Word Setup, start your system with the

   extensions off. To do this, press and hold the SHIFT key as you restart

   your computer. Continue to hold down the SHIFT key until you receive the

   message "Extensions are off." At this point, you can start the Word

   Setup program.

   -or-

 - If you have already installed Word, you can locate the application

   program icon using the following steps:

   1. From the Finder, choose Find from the File menu.

   2. In the Find dialog box, type "Microsoft Word" (without the quotation

      marks).

   3. Choose the Find button.

   4. The Find utility displays the first file with Microsoft Word in

      the filename. If this is not the Word application, choose Find Again

      from the File menu.

========

When you start Word with "Quote of the Day" set to run at startup, or if

you try to run the Bookshelf features from Word, you may get an Error 556

    a. Remove the upper tray.

    b. Place the envelope in the paper feed tray face down (flap up), with

       the top of the envelope against the right edge of the paper feed

       tray.

    c. Set the green envelope guide (the one that slides left-to-right) to

       the right, so it rests lightly against the bottom edge of the

       envelope.

    d. Pull out the gray paper feed tab as far as it will go. Lift the

       green fence to the upright position so that it remains upright.

    e. Push in the paper feed tab until the green fence just contacts the

       end of the envelope nearest you.

    f. Be sure the printer is on and ready (Power and Ready lights are on).

10. From Word, choose OK.

11. In the Envelopes And Labels dialog box, choose the Print button.

12. In the Page Setup dialog box, select No. 10 Envelope from the Media

13. Under Orientation, select Portrait.

14. Choose OK and choose Print.

Note: These settings will also work for Mail Merge to Envelopes. Multiple

envelopes (up to 20) may be stacked in the appropriate position. Because

the upper tray is missing, you will need to remove each envelope as it is

printed, or the printed envelopes will mingle with the unprinted ones,

causing jamming.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run a WordBasic macro that contains the SetSelRange command, the

following error may occur:

   WordBasic error 512: Value Out of Range

CAUSE

=====

This error occurs when the second argument (Pos2) of the SetSelRange

command selects the last paragraph mark in the document.

For example, the following sample macro selects the last paragraph mark in

a document, so WordBasic error 512 occurs:

Sub main

 EditSelectAll

 s = GetSelStartPos()

 e = GetSelEndPos()

 StartOfDocument

 SetSelRange s, e

End Sub

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To avoid the error, create a subroutine that traps the "Out of Range"

error, resets the selection so it does not include the last paragraph mark,

and then selects the last paragraph mark using a different method. The

following sample WordBasic subroutine demonstrates this workaround:

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

Sub SetSelRangeSafe(Pos1, Pos2)

 On Error Goto OutOfRange

 SetSelRange Pos1, Pos2

 OutOfRange:

 If err = 512 Then

  SetSelRange Pos1, Pos2 - 1

  CharRight 1, 1

 End If

End Sub

Cannot Include Some GX Printing Commands in WordBasic Macro

Article ID: Q122499

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You cannot include the following GX Printing commands in a WordBasic

macro in Word for the Macintosh:

 - File Page Setup dialog box:

      Scale

      LaserWriter options (same for non-GX printer drivers also)

      Landscape 270 degrees orientation

 - Printing Extension information

 - Print Time information

CAUSE

=====

These commands are handled by the Apple Macintosh operating system, not by

WordBasic (the Word macro language).

WORKAROUND

==========

Create an AppleScript command script to address these system-level printing

functions. (AppleScript is the Apple common macro language for use with

applications that support AppleScript.)

For more information about using Word 6.0 and AppleScript, see Appendix D,

"AppleScript" in the "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit."

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

FileOpen Does Not Open More Than One Document Concurrently

Article ID: Q122500

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for the Macintosh, you cannot use the FileOpen macro command to

open multiple documents concurrently, as in the following example

Sub Main

  FileOpen .Name = <"FIRST.DOC"> <"SECOND.DOC">

End Sub

where <FIRST.DOC> and <SECOND.DOC> are separate documents.

In contrast, the above macro does open both FIRST.DOC and SECOND.DOC in

Microsoft Word for Windows.

CAUSE

=====

In the Macintosh environment, you can use spaces as valid characters in a

filename; therefore, you cannot use a space as a delimiter between two

filenames. In the MS-DOS and Windows environments, spaces are not allowed

as valid characters in filenames; therefore, they can be used as effective

delimiters.

RESOLUTION

==========

To correct this problem, use multiple FileOpen commands to open multiple

files on the Macintosh. Using the above example, the following macro opens

both FIRST.DOC and SECOND.DOC in Word for the Macintosh:

Sub Main

  FileOpen .Name = "FIRST.DOC"

  FileOpen .Name = "SECOND.DOC"

End Sub

Word Hangs When Launched with Corrupt Fonts

Article ID: Q122501

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When starting Microsoft Word, you receive a System Error or a Type 1 error

and your machine may hang (stop responding).

CAUSE

=====

If Word hangs immediately after installation, you may have a corrupted

font. Unlike Word 5.x, Word 6.0 enumerates the fonts when you start the

application. This allows Word to determine whether or not the font supports

kerning and other font attributes. By contrast, Word 5.x does not enumerate

the fonts, and you would experience problems only if the corrupt font was

used in your document.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word version 6.00

for the Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Isolate and remove the corrupt font.

Computer Hangs When Updating IF Field with Backslash

Article ID: Q122502

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-cd, 2.0b, 2.0c,

   6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you update an IF field that contains a backslash in front of another

field, you will receive a general protection (GP) fault (in Windows) or the

following error message (on the Macintosh):

   The application 'unknown' has unexpectedly quit, because an

   error of type 1 occurred.

For example, if you update the {AUTHOR} portion of the field in the

following example you will receive the error message:

   { IF {PAGE} > 1 "{DATE}\{AUTHOR}" "{TITLE}" }

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use two backslashes (\\) in a field when you want one to appear on the

screen. Using the previous example, add a second backslash preceding the

{AUTHOR} field. The field should look like:

   { IF {PAGE} > 1 "{DATE}\\{AUTHOR}" "{TITLE}" }

A single backslash is used in field formatting switches. Two backslashes

are used to indicate literal printing of a character.

Shortcut Keys in User Dialogs Don't Automatically Display

Article ID: Q122503

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you create user dialogs with WordBasic, designated access (or

shortcut) characters do not appear with an underline by default. When the

macro that contains the dialog is executed, shortcut characters are not

displayed with underlines. Although the shortcut keys do not appear

underlined, they function correctly.

RESOLUTION

==========

To display designated access characters, you must press the COMMAND key.

To automatically display shortcut keys in a user dialog run from a macro,

add a MenuMode statement to the macro, such as in the following example:

Sub MAIN

MenuMode

Begin Dialog UserDialog 320,144, "Microsoft Word"

   OKButton 10, 6, 88, 21

   CancelButton 10, 30, 88, 21

   CheckBox 150, 84, 100, 18, "C&heck Box", .CheckBox1

End Dialog

Dim dlg As UserDialog

n = Dialog(dlg)

End Sub

NOTE: Once you turn on MenuMode in a dialog box, it stays turned on until

you exit the dialog box by choosing Cancel or OK.

MORE INFORMATION

================

You can add access keys to a dialog to allow quick access to items from the

keyboard. When an access key is defined for an item in a user dialog box,

the user can press COMMAND + the specified letter to select or clear a

check box or choose a command button. The access letter can be specified in

the WordBasic Dialog Editor by typing an ampersand (&) in front of the

letter in the Text$ box; for example, the check box in line 6 of the

previous macro example will display an underscored "h" in the dialog box.

Macro Generates WordBasic Err=509, then GP Fault in SDM.DLL

Article ID: Q122554

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you run the following WordBasic macro, which opens the Format Style

TOC Field Not Updated Properly from Macro

Article ID: Q122555

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you use a macro to update a TOC (table of contents) field, Word for

Windows 6.0 may not prompt you to make a choice to either Update Page

Numbers Only or to Update Entire Table. Word will update only the page

numbers.

CAUSE

=====

Word defaults to Update Page Numbers Only.

WORKAROUND

==========

You can use the WordBasic SendKeys command to have the macro select the

option to Update Entire Table.

The following sample macro locates the TOC field and uses the SendKeys

command to send the appropriate keystrokes to the dialog box to select the

Update Entire Table option:

Sub MAIN

StartOfDocument             'Moves insertion point to start of document

OldVFC = ViewFieldCodes()   'Get the current state of ViewFieldCodes

ViewFieldCodes 1            'Turns on Field Codes

EditFindClearFormatting     'Clears EditFind formatting setting

EditFind .Find = "^19 toc"  'Finds the TOC field code

SendKeys "{F9}%e{enter}"    'SendKeys sends three keystrokes:

                            '  1. F9 to update the TOC field

                            '  2. ALT-e to select the Update Entire Table

                            '     button (%e)

                            '  3. ENTER to close the dialog box.

Line Suppression Does Not Occur When Merging to Fax or E-Mail

Article ID: Q122556

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A mail merge document that suppresses blank lines when merged to a printer

will not suppress those blank lines when the same document is merged to a

fax or to E-mail.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

and 6.0c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

You can use a combination of mergefields and conditional IF statements to

suppress blank lines whether merging to a printer or using e-mail or fax:

{mergefield firstname} {mergefield lastname}

{mergefield address1}

{if {mergefield address2} <> "" "{mergefield address2}<press enter>

"}{mergefield city}, {mergefield state}  Mergefield zip}

NOTE: In the third line above, you must press ENTER before placing the

ending quotation mark (on the subsequent line) for the conditional clause.

The line that is not being suppressed is the one generated by {address2}.

To see mergefields as they appear above, you must turn on Field Codes view.

To do this, from the Tools menu, choose Options. On the View tab, select

the Field Codes check box, then choose the OK button.

Macro Shortcut Keys with ALT Don't Copy to Other Templates

Article ID: Q122557

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Macro shortcut key combinations containing ALT as part of the keyboard

sequence are not copied to another template through the Organizer. The

macros are copied. Shortcut combinations containing CTRL copy correctly.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: After copying or moving the macro to another template, reassign a

          shortcut combination to the macro.

Method 2: Change the shortcut assignment for the macro prior to moving it

          to another template.

Leading Spaces Removed with Insert Database and Mail Merge

Article ID: Q122558

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word removes leading spaces from your data records when you insert or merge

an external database. By contrast, Word does not remove leading spaces when

the data source is created in Word.

CAUSE

=====

By design, Word removes leading spaces from external databases.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Use one of the following methods to add the missing spaces to your

merge document:

Method 1: Insert extra spaces in the main document. These extra spaces

          should immediately precede the appropriate mergefield.

Method 2: Create a conditional mergefield to include spaces. The following

          mergefield example will insert five spaces if {mergefield name}

          equals John.

             {If {mergefield name} = "John" "     "}

          The following mergefield will insert five spaces and the result

          of the {mergefield name} in your document:

             {If {mergefield name} = "John" "     {mergefield name}"}

No Revision Marks When Editing Text in Grammar Dialog Box

Article ID: Q122559

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you perform a Grammar check when your document is marked for Revisions

while Editing, any changes that you make in the Sentence box of the Grammar

dialog box will not display in the document with revision marks.

This functionality works correctly in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh and Word

6.0 for Windows NT.

STATUS

=======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word versions

6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will

post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes

available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To note your changes with revision marks while the Grammar check dialog box

is activated, you can click in the document area and edit your text. You

can do this because the Grammar check dialog box is a modeless dialog box,

which allows you to switch focus between the document and the dialog box.

When you have finished editing your text, click the Start button in the

Grammar dialog box to return focus to it, and then choose the Ignore

button.

Numeric Keypad Not Working After Merging Word Settings (5)

Article ID: Q122560

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

After you merged the Word Settings (5) file into the Normal template in

Word 6.0, only the 5 key on the numeric keypad works.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word version 6.0

for the Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: To restore normal Word functionality, quit Word. Remove the

          Normal template and the Word Settings (6) file. Restart Word. The

          drawback to this method is that all customization of styles,

          AutoText entries, toolbars, and macros are removed, and Word is

          restored to default settings.

          To avoid losing all your custom features, rename the Normal

          template instead of dragging it to the trash, and then use the

          Organizer to move styles, AutoText entries, toolbars, and macros

          to the newly created Normal template. (To locate the Organizer,

          choose Templates from the File menu.)

Method 2: Use the numeric keys on the standard keyboard instead of on the

          numeric keypad.

Method 3: Instead of merging the Word Settings (5) file to the current

          (Normal) template, choose Save to create a template called Word

          Settings 5. The numeric keypad will not function correctly when

          you use the Word Settings 5 template, but it will function

          correctly when using the default (Normal) template or other

          templates.

Default Font Not Shown in the Envelopes And Labels Dialog Box

Article ID: Q122567

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When the default font is something other than Times New Roman, the text in

the Envelopes And Labels dialog box under the Labels tab still displays in

Times New Roman.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

and 6.0c for Windows; Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh, and Word version

6.0 for Windows NT. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you choose the New Document button to create a document of labels, Word

uses the actual default font, despite how the text appears on the Labels

tab. Similarly, if you choose the Print button, Word uses the correct

default font to print the sheet of labels.

Hyphens (Dashes) Don't Display in Form Field Number

Article ID: Q122650

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you modify a text form field's number format to include hyphens, the

hyphens will not display in the form field result. Other symbols--such as

the backslash (\), forward slash (/), opening parenthesis [(], or closing

parenthesis [)]--will display in the form field result.

For example, if you want to format a form field to display a phone number

formatted as

   206-555-1234

using the number format

   ###-###-####

the result will be:

   206 555 1234.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

In Word for Windows, modify the number format of the form field using one

of the following methods. (To locate the Number Format option, double-click

the form field.)

   Method 1: Place apostrophes around the hyphens.

   Method 2: Enter the hyphen using ALT+0173. You must type the 0173 on the

             numeric keypad.

   Method 3: Use CTRL+NUM+HYPHEN.

On Word for the Macintosh, use OPTION+HYPHEN.

MORE INFORMATION

================

You can edit form fields in Word by double-clicking the form field. In the

text form field dialog box, select Number from the Type list and type in

the correct number format in the Number Format box.

Note: If you try to round-trip through the form fields, you may get the

following error message, and the insertion point will not move to the next

form field:

   A valid number is required.

You must retype the number to exit the field.

Can't Save Address in Envelopes And Labels Dialog Box

Article ID: Q122651

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You cannot save a delivery address when you are in the Envelopes And Labels

dialog box. You can only print the envelope or select the Add To Document

option.

This functionality is different than in Word version 5.x for the Macintosh.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior is by design.

WORKAROUND

==========

To save a delivery address, add the address to a document and store the

address as an AutoText entry, which you can use when creating envelopes in

the future. To do this, follow these steps:

   1. After typing the delivery address, choose the Add To Document button.

   2. In the document, highlight the address.

   3. From the Edit menu, choose AutoText.

   4. Type a name for the AutoText entry and choose the Add button.

To insert the AutoText entry as a delivery address in the Envelopes

And Labels dialog box, follow these steps:

   1. From the Tools menu, choose Envelopes And Labels.

   2. Place the insertion point in the Delivery Address box on the

      Envelopes tab.

   3. Type the name of the AutoText entry and without inserting a space

      after the Autotext entry, press COMMAND+OPTION+V to insert the

      address.

   Note: Be sure there is not a space after the Autotext entry before

   pressing Command + Option + V or the application may unexpectedly quit

   or hang. See Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q122375 for details.

Setup Repeatedly Prompts for Disk 2 with Netroom Installed

Article ID: Q122654

------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Microsoft Word for Windows Setup repeatedly prompts for Disk 2, even though

the correct disk is in the floppy disk drive.

CAUSE

=====

This problem can occur when you have Helix Netroom installed. The

Multimedia Cloaking option of Netroom causes a memory conflict with Setup.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word versions

6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will

post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes

available.

RESOLUTION

==========

To correct this problem, temporarily disable the Multimedia Cloaking option

that Netroom installs in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The lines appear similar to

the following:

   C:\NETROOM\XLOAD.EXE -SD001 -M31488 C: \MMCLK\CACHECLK.EXE /K=3072

   /WK=3072 /H=2048 /WB=1

   -or-

   C:\NETROOM\XLOAD.EXE -SD001 -M47760 C: \MMCLK\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /L:D

   /M:15

Type "rem" (without the quotation marks) preceding each line and then

reboot you computer. The lines should appear similar to the following:

   REM C:\NETROOM\XLOAD.EXE -SD001 -M31488 C: \MMCLK\CACHECLK.EXE

   /K=3072 /WK=3072 /H=2048 /WB=1

   -or-

   REM C:\NETROOM\XLOAD.EXE -SD001 -M47760 C: \MMCLK\MSCDEX.EXE

   /D:MSCD001 /L:D /M:15

Now you should be able to install Word correctly. After you have installed

Word has been installed, you can remove the REM statements from the

AUTOEXEC.BAT file to re-enable Multimedia Cloaking. Multimedia Cloaking

affects the Setup portion of Word only.

Section Symbol in Data Source Doesn't Allow Merge

Article ID: Q122655

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you try to attach a data source to a mail merge main document, Word

does not attach it. Or, if the data source was originally attached and you

later modify the data source and then add the section symbol to the first

data record, the data source will be disassociated from the main document.

If a record other than the first record contains the section symbol, you

can attach the data source. However, when you perform the merge, you will

receive the following error message when Word attempts to merge the record

containing the section symbol:

   Word could not finish merging these documents or inserting

   this database.

This behavior does not occur when your data source contains other symbols.

CAUSE

=====

The data source contains the section symbol.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Must Choose Address Twice When Routing a Document

Article ID: Q122683

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you route a document using the Add Routing Slip command on the File

menu, Word may prompt you twice to select the recipient name.

In addition, under Windows NT, Word may also prompt you (the sender) to

select your name.

CAUSE

=====

In Microsoft Mail (version 3.1d for the Macintosh, version 3.2 for Windows,

and Microsoft Mail for Windows NT version 3.5) you can select a different

address book. If the alternative active address book contains two or more

similar names, you have to select the recipient name twice.

For example, if your address book contains both "Jane Doe" and "Jane Doe

(Macintosh)" entries, you must select the recipient name twice.

This happens because Word stores the MAPI string it receives as an address.

This converted address may be similar to another address, so you have to

resolve the ambiguity.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word version 6.0.

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

SYMPTOMS

========

In the Form Field Help Text dialog box, under either the Status Bar or the

How to Tell the Difference Between Publishers and Subscribers

Article ID: Q122686

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

By default, Word for the Macintosh displays publishers and subscribers

similarly--that is, as text in your document. As a result, you cannot tell

the difference between a publisher (which Word marks with a bookmark) and a

subscriber (which Word includes in your document using a SUBSCRIBER field)

unless you change the View options.

To change the View options in Word, choose Options from the Tools menu and

the select the View tab. To view publishers, select the Show Bookmarks

option; and to view subscribers, select the Field Codes option, then choose

OK.

MORE INFORMATION

================

You can also locate publishers in your document using the Go To command on

the Edit menu.

Using the Go To Command to Locate Publishers

--------------------------------------------

1. From the Edit menu, choose Go To.

2. In the Go To What box, select Bookmark.

3. In the Enter Bookmark Name box, Word lists the publishers with the name

   INTERN_LINK# (where # is a number Word assigns when you create the

   publisher). Select the bookmark name for a publisher and then choose the

   Go To button.

Similarly, you can use the Find or Replace command on the Edit menu

to locate subscribers.

Using the Find or Replace Command to Locate Subscribers

WordBasic Err=543 in 5.1 Upgrade Document

Article ID: Q122693

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Office for the Macintosh, version 4.2

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you installed Word for the Macintosh using the Microsoft Office 4.2

Setup program, the following error may occur when you open the 5.1 Upgrade

document from the Word 6.0:Macro folder and choose the Convert 5.1

Addresses button:

   WordBasic Err=543

   Unable to open specified library.

Note: The Convert 5.1 Addresses button is located on the 5.1 Upgrade

toolbar, which you can display by choosing Toolbars from the View menu and

selecting 5.1 Upgrade in the Toolbars list.

This error also occurs if you run the AddressBook macro from the Tools

Macro dialog box.

This error does not occur if you installed Word using the Word 6.0 Setup

program.

CAUSE

=====

Setup incorrectly installs the Address Book Converter file in the

System:Preferences:Word Startup Folder (6) instead of the Word 6.0:Macros

folder. This error will also occur if the Word icon is moved from the Word

6.0 folder.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Move the Address Book Converter file from the System:Preferences:Word

Startup Folder (6) to the Word 6.0:Macros folder.

Article ID: Q122696

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you create a document in Word for Windows using an installable font,

then open the file in Word for the Macintosh, the installable font displays

correctly on the screen, but it prints in Arial, Arial Narrow, or

Helvetica.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs if you are using the GX printer driver supplied with

Apple System 7.5. It does not occur if you are using the LaserWriter

printer driver version 8.1.1.

The GX driver does not copy installable fonts into the spool file. As a

result, the installable fonts are not available when you print, so the

system substitutes a system font instead.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

If you are using the GX printer driver, restart Word and then print the

document. After you restart Word, the installable fonts are available for

printing.

Reverse Print Order Doesn't Work with HP DeskWriter

Article ID: Q122698

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word for the Macintosh may fail to print in reverse order to the Hewlett-

Packard (HP) DeskWriter, even though you turned on the Reverse Print Order

option in Word. (To locate the Reverse Print Order option, choose Options

from the Tools menu, and select the Print tab.)

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs if the Print Back To Front option is also selected in

the HP DeskWriter printer driver setup dialog box. In other words, the

Reverse Print Order option turns on reverse printing, then the HP

DeskWriter Print Back To Front option turns it off again.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To print from Word in reverse order on an HP DeskWriter, use either the

Print Back To Front option or the Reverse Print Order option, but do not

use both at the same time.

MacWord: "Out of Memory" Error Running Grammar Checker

Article ID: Q122699

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you run the grammar checker more than once during a Word for the

Table of Contents Shows Wrong Formatting

Article ID: Q122706

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Formatting applied directly (that is, manually) to heading text appears in

the table of contents, even though the TOC style doesn't include that

formatting in its style definition.

By contrast, the table of contents ignores any formatting defined in the

text's style and uses only the formatting defined in the TOC styles.

For example, if you select a portion of a Heading 1 paragraph and apply

bold formatting to that text, the corresponding entry in the table of

contents will also appear in bold. However, if you instead modify the

attributes of Heading 1 style to include bold formatting, this formatting

will not appear in the table of contents. The table of contents will show

only the formatting that is defined in the TOC 1 style.

NOTE: The only exception to this rule is All Caps formatting. If All Caps

formatting is applied through any means to text in the body of the

document, the table of contents will use it when it includes the text.

This behavior does not occur in Word version 2.0 for Windows. For

additional information on how Word 2.0 handles table of contents entries,

please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   ARTICLE-ID: Q70029

   TITLE     : Table of Contents Entries Lose Character Formatting

CAUSE

=====

Word assumes that direct formatting is deliberate and desired; thus, Word

retains direct formatting when it formats the entries in the table of

contents. By the same token, Word considers style definitions to be

deliberate and adheres to the settings in the TOC styles.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

If you do not want to accept the reformatting that was applied from

the Heading style changes, do one of the following:

Method 1: Select the table of contents and press CTRL+SPACEBAR to force

          Word to revert to the built-in TOC styles.

          When you update fields and Word asks if you want to update only

          page numbers in the table of contents or the entire table, do not

          update the entire table, as this will cause any changes to the

          Heading styles to be reapplied to the table of contents text. Be

          sure you clear the Update Fields check box before printing the

          document, or the TOC field will be updated automatically. (To

          change this option, choose Options from the Tools menu. Select

          the Print tab, and under Printing Options, clear Update Fields.)

          NOTE: This method works in all cases of direct formatting or

          style redefinition, EXCEPT when All Caps formatting is applied.

Method 2: If you have finalized the table of contents, select the table of

          contents and press CTRL+SHIFT+F9 to unlink the TOC field and

          cause the TOC results to become normal text. (NOTE: Once the TOC

          field is unlinked, it becomes normal text instead of a field and

          you will not be able to update it.) Select the text to manually

          apply any formatting changes you want. Note that reapplying the

          appropriate TOC styles will not correct the formatting changes.

Word Does Not Support System 7.5 Drag and Drop from Scrapbook

Article ID: Q122708

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word 6.0 does not support the drag and drop feature of Scrapbook in the

Macintosh Operating System software, version 7.5.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Scrapbook is a desk accessory that allows you to store images, sounds,

and text that are frequently accessed. This can be thought of as a

permanent clipboard. Items that are pasted in the Scrapbook can be copied

when needed. Most applications support items copied from the Scrapbook.

The Macintosh Operating System software, version 7.5, comes with a new

version of the Scrapbook written by Light Software Inc. of Cupertino, CA.

This new version supports drag and drop from applications into the

Scrapbook as well as from the Scrapbook into certain applications.

The Macintosh Operating System software included here is manufactured by

Apple, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or

otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.

Macro to Change Printer or Fax Driver

Article ID: Q122709

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how to create a macro that allows you to send a

document to a specific printer or fax device and then resets the printer to

the original default. You can create multiple macros if you have several

printers or when you want to switch between a printer and a fax driver.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following macro example selects the "HP LaserJet IIISi on LPT1:" and

then returns you to your default printer.

Line #    Macro:

------    ------

   1      Sub MAIN

   2      Dim FPS As FilePrintSetup

   3      GetCurValues FPS

   4      DefaultPrinter$ = FPS.Printer

   5      FilePrintSetup .Printer = "HP LaserJet IIISi on LPT1:"

   6      FilePrint

   7      FilePrintSetup .Printer = DefaultPrinter$

   8      End Sub

Lines 2 through 4 of the macro retrieve and set information about the

current default printer. Line 5 makes the printer specified in the macro

code--in this case, the HP LaserJet IIISi--the default printer. On line 6,

a FilePrint command is used to send the document to the currently selected

printer, and line 7 resets the original default printer.

If you have more than one printer, you can create one macro for each

printer and change the name of the printer on line 5 to reflect the printer

you are using. Make sure the text exactly matches the printer description.

To obtain this information, choose Print from the File menu and then choose

the Printer button.

To create the macro:

1. Choose Macro from the Tools Menu.

2. Type a macro name such as PrintToFax (without any spaces) and choose

   Create. A macro editing window will appear with the Sub MAIN and End Sub

   lines already there.

3. Type lines 2-7 (shown above) between the Sub MAIN and End Sub lines.

4. When done, choose Close from the File menu, and save your changes to the

   macro.

Once you create the macro, you can use the Customize command (on the Tools

menu) to assign the macro to a keystroke, menu, or toolbar button.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Word Sees Limited Memo Fields Using ODBC Drivers

Article ID: Q122752

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you perform a mail merge with a FoxPro or Microsoft Access database

that contains many Memo fields, Word recognizes no more than two or three

of those Memo fields. In addition, Word will drop any data from fields that

appear after the second or third Memo field. If the first Memo field

contains a large amount of data (200 paragraphs containing more than 80

characters each), Word will not recognize even the first field. Word may

drop data from fields that appear after the first Memo field depending on

the size of the first Memo field. This behavior occurs when you perform a

mail merge using ODBC.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

and 6.0c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Change the Memo Fields to Text Fields. (NOTE: Text Fields have a

          255 character limit and may be truncated.)

Method 2 (with Access only): Use DDE instead of ODBC.

File Access Denied with FoxPro Data Attached to Template

Article ID: Q122755

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

After you open a mail merge main document based on a template that has been

attached to a FoxPro database, you receive the following error message if

you attempt to open your FoxPro database:

   File Access Denied

CAUSE

=====

This behavior occurs because the database is set to Exclusive use. By

design, when you create a Word document, you open the template in the

background. If the template is attached to a data source, that data source

is also open in the background. Therefore, if the database is set to be

opened exclusively, and if it is already open in Word, you are denied

access to it if you attempt to open it in FoxPro.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Set the FoxPro database to Shared file use. By default, FoxPro

          opens the database for Exclusive use.

Method 2: Modify the Word template and remove the attachment to the Fox Pro

          data source.

Method 3: Create a main document based on the Normal template or another

          template. Then attach your data source.

Method 4: Record an AutoNew macro for the mail merge template that attaches

          the data source to your new main document.

How to Improve Speed When Starting Wizards

Article ID: Q122757

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how to improve the performance of your wizards by

modifying the AutoNew macros in the wizards.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Although modifying the wizards' AutoNew macros can help to run the wizards

faster, there is no guarantee that the performance enhancement will be

significant. Other factors, such as the processor speed, the amount of

memory installed on your computer, the number of applications currently

running, and the overall optimization of your operating environment, among

others, will also affect the performance of your wizards.

The following macro adds the View Normal command to the AutoNew macro.

1. Open one of the wizards. (Note: All of the Wizards have an extension

   of .WIZ.)

2. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

3. From the Macros Available In list, select the wizard template name.

4. Select AutoNew in the List Of Macros and choose the Edit button.

   You will see the following text:

      Sub MAIN

          StartWizard

      End Sub

5. Add the ViewNormal command so that your macro now looks like this:

      Sub MAIN

          ViewNormal

          StartWizard

      End Sub

6. Save and close the macro.

7. Save and close the wizard template.

When you next create a document based on one of these wizards, you should

notice a performance increase.

How to Search for Special Characters When Pattern Matching On

Article ID: Q122758

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

If you select Pattern Matching in the Find or Replace dialog box, the

following special characters cannot be used in the Find What text box:

   Character     Meaning

   ---------     -------

   ^p            Paragraph mark

   ^e            Auto-numbered endnote reference mark

   ^d            Field

   ^f            Auto-numbered footnote reference mark

   ^b            Section break

   ^w            White space (one or more spaces)

When Pattern Matching is selected, Word uses an entirely different search

engine. This alternative search engine is not designed to search for the

special characters listed above.

WORKAROUND

==========

To find the characters listed above when you have Pattern Matching

selected, use the following substitutes in the Find What box:

   Standard      Substitute        Meaning

   --------      ----------        -------

   ^p            ^13               Paragraph mark (see Note 1)

   ^e            ^2                Auto-numbered endnote reference mark

                                   (see Note 2)

   ^d            (see Note 3)      Field

   ^f            ^2                Auto-numbered footnote reference mark

   ^b            ^12               Section break or page break (see Note 4)

   ^w            <space>{1,}       White space (see Note 5)

Notes

-----

1. Works in Word for Windows only. There is no equivalent substitute in

   Word for the Macintosh.

2. When using these substitutes, it is not possible to differentiate

   between endnote and footnote reference marks.

3. There is no equivalent substitute for ^d (Field).

4. When using ^12 to search for section breaks, page breaks will also be

   found by this pattern. Thus, ^12 is a limited substitute for ^b.

5. For the substitute of ^w (white space), "<space>" means that a space

   character should precede the "{1,}". Do not type out "<space>" in the

   Find What text box.

MacWord Setup Err Msg: Cannot Replace Folder with File...

Article ID: Q122792

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you install Word for the Macintosh, the following Setup CopyFiles

error message may be displayed:

   A non-empty directory, with the same name as the following destination

   file, exists in the destination directory.

   <PATH>:Microsoft Word:Microsoft Word

After you cancel the above error message, the following Microsoft Word 6.0

Setup error message appears:

   Microsoft Word 6.0 Setup was not completed successfully

CAUSE

=====

These errors occur when a folder with the same name as a file Setup is

trying to install exists in the location where you are installing Word.

This commonly occurs when the folder in which you want to install Word

already contains a folder named "Microsoft Word." By design, Setup prevents

you from replacing this folder with the new Microsoft Word program file.

RESOLUTION

==========

To correct this problem, exit Word Setup and locate the folder whose name

is the same as the Word file. Either rename or move the folder.

Different Character Displays at Different Size or Zoom Levels

Article ID: Q122833

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Some extended characters or symbols, such as the robot character from the

New York font, display as other characters or symbols in Word for the

Macintosh when you change the font size or zoom percentage.

For example, the robot character changes to an uppercase Y umlaut, a heart

symbol, or musical notes, depending on the font size or zoom percentage you

use in Word. Regardless of which character displays in your document, Word

always prints the character as an uppercase Y umlaut.

This does not happen in Word for Windows.

CAUSE

=====

This happens only with bitmap fonts on a Macintosh, not with scalable

fonts. In a bitmap font, Apple sometimes maps different symbols to

different point sizes of a single extended character (that is, an upper

character you cannot type directly from the keyboard). For example, in the

New York bitmap font, Apple maps a robot, heart, and musical notes symbol

to the 12, 14, and 18-point sizes of a single character, respectively.

When a symbol from a bitmap font changes as a result of changing the zoom

setting, Word is using a different font size to display the symbol. For the

12-point New York robot symbol, if you change the zoom to 125, 150, or 200

percent, Word displays an uppercase Y umlaut, heart, and robot,

respectively. To display the character at the 125 percent zoom level, Word

uses the scalable version of the font, whereas to display the character at

the 150 or 200 percent zoom level, Word uses the 18 and 24-point bitmap

font.

Note: By default, Word uses a bitmap version of the font whenever possible;

otherwise, Word substitutes a scalable font (bitmap fonts are produced in

only 8, 10, 12, 14, and 24 point sizes). For some fonts, such as New York,

there is both a bitmap and a scalable font. However, Word always prints the

scalable version of the font because Word cannot download a bitmap font to

the printer. This is why the robot character always prints as an uppercase

Y umlaut regardless of the zoom or font size.

STATUS

======

Word is functioning correctly. This problem stems from the Apple Macintosh

font definitions for bitmap fonts.

Duplicate Menu Items Converting Word 5.x Commands to Word 6.0

Article ID: Q122834

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you open your Word Settings (5) file in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh and

save the settings as a new Word 6.0 template [named Word Settings (5)

Template], some of your Word 6.0 menus may contain duplicate commands.

For example, the following duplicate commands may appear:

 - On the Window menu, the Document Maximize command appears twice.

 - The Header And Footer command appears three times on the View menu.

 - The Split command appears on both the View menu and the Window menu.

 - The Symbol command appears four times on the Insert menu.

 - On the Format menu:

   The Left Borders command appears six times.

   The Box Borders command appears twice.

   The Change Case command appears twice.

   The Insert Cells and Delete Cells commands appear twice.

STATUS

======

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you run Setup to perform an Administrative Installation of Word for

the Macintosh and double-click a network volume to select it, nothing

happens, even if you previously mounted the network volume. Setup only

selects the network volume icon but does not open it.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs when you double-click a slow-mount volume.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Duplicate Spelling Files in the Microsoft Folder

Article ID: Q122836

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The Microsoft Folder installed by Word 6.0 at the same level as the folder

that contains the Microsoft Word file may contain the following two

spelling files:

   MS Spelling

   MS Spelling 2

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Microsoft Folder installed at the same level as your Word 6.0 folder

contains shared proofing tools files. The Office applications can share all

the files and programs that are in this folder.

The MS Spelling file is a duplicate of the Word spelling file, MS Spelling

2. The MS Spelling 2 file is a newer, more robust spelling program.

The MS Spelling file is installed by a stand-alone version of Microsoft

Excel 5.0 and Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0. Neither the Microsoft Excel nor the

Microsoft PowerPoint Setup programs checks to see whether a newer version

of the dictionary exists. This problem does not occur when you install

Microsoft Office.

NOTE: The old Microsoft Folder in the Extensions Folder contains files

shared by earlier versions of the Microsoft Office applications (namely,

Microsoft Excel 4.0 and Microsoft PowerPoint 3.0). If you remove the

Microsoft Folder in the Extensions Folder, the Spelling Checker fails in

Microsoft Excel 4.0 and PowerPoint 3.0.

How to Install Microsoft Word Assistant on a Network

Article ID: Q122841

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word Assistant for Windows, version 1.0

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how to install a copy of Word Assistant into a

directory on your network server. The information here supplements

information in the WAREADME.TXT file supplied with Microsoft Word

Assistant.

MORE INFORMATION

================

To install Word Assistant to the network, follow these steps:

1. Perform a standard workstation installation of Word Assistant either

   from floppy disk or, after creating a network setup, as outlined in

   the WAREADME.TXT file. The files are installed to the user's

   workstation or to the user's directory on the server.

2. Copy the contents of C:\WINWORD\CLIPART (where C:\WINWORD\CLIPART

   represents the user's the local directory) to

   F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD\CLIPART (where F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD is the server

   location for the shared files).

3. Copy the contents of C:\WINWORD\STARTUP to F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD\STARTUP.

4. Copy the contents of C:\WINWORD\TEMPLATE to a directory called

   F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD\TEMPLATE.

5. On the server, create the directory, F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD\SPCLPPR.

6. Copy the contents of C:\WINWORD\SPPCLPPR to the

   F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD\SPPCLPPR directory.

7. Using a text editor such as Notepad, edit the WINWORD6.INI file to point

   to the proper directories. This file is located in the user's Windows

   directory (for example, C:\WINDOWS). For example, the WINDWORD6.INI file

   might display the following text:

      [Microsoft Word]

      USER-DOT-PATH=C:\WINWORD\TEMPLATE

      WORKGROUP-DOT-PATH=F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD\TEMPLATE

      PICTURE-PATH=F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD\CLIPART

8. Using the text editor, modify the SPCLPPR.INI file to reflect the proper

   path. This file is also located in the user's WINDOWS directory. This

   file might look like this:

      [Special Paper]

      Papers Location=F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD\SPCLPPR

9. Edit the FONTSEL.INI file to add button=1 to the [Misc] section.

      [Misc]

      button=1

   For additional information on modifying the FONTSEL.INI file, please see

   the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   ARTICLE-ID: Q106657

   TITLE     : Customizing the Font Selector in Word Assistant

Future installations of Word Assistant create a C:\WINWORD directory

structure. Delete the C:\WINWORD directory (where C:\WINWORD is the local

directory). Then repeat steps 7 through 9.

If the user-specific files are local, do not delete the C:\WINWORD

directory. You can delete the C:\WINWORD\SPCLPPR directory and the

C:\WINWORD\CLIPART directory; delete all templates beginning with WA_ or

WAF_ in the C:\WINWORD\TEMPLATE directory, and delete the .WLL files in the

C:\WINWORD\STARTUP directory.

How to Perform Calculations with Dates and Times

Article ID: Q122842

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article provides several examples of how to use WordBasic macros to

perform calculations on dates and times. Word does this by first converting

a date or time into a "serial number." Word then uses the serial number in

calculations and converts it back into a standard date or time format.

EXAMPLES

========

To insert a date seven days from the current date:

   Insert Date$(Today() + 7)

To insert "July 1, 1925" or "07/01/25" (without the quotation marks)

(because this date is one-half of December 31, 1950, in number of days when

December 30, 1899 is 0 [zero]):

   Insert Date$(DateSerial(50, 12, 31) / 2)

To calculate how many days old you are, where mm/dd/yy is your birthdate,

and display that number in a message box:

   Sub Main

   MsgBox Str$(Today() - DateValue("mm/dd/yy"))

   End Sub

To insert 6:00 AM (because 6:00 AM is one-half of 12:00 PM):

   Insert Time$(TimeValue("12:00") / 2)

To insert the current date and time:

   Insert Date$(Now()) + ", " + Time$(Now())

MORE INFORMATION

================

The date serial number is a whole number that represents the number of days

since the date December 31, 1899. Here are some examples:

   Date                    Serial Number

   ----                    -------------

   December 30, 1899                   0

   December 31, 1899                   1

   January 1, 1900                     2

   January 1, 1994                 34335

The time serial number is a decimal number between 0 and 0.99998842592593

that represents a time from 12:00:00 AM to 11:59:59 PM. For example:

   Time                    Serial Number

   ----                    -------------

   12:00 AM                0.0

   06:00 AM                0.25

   12:00 PM                0.50

   04:35 PM                0.69097222222222

Date functions include Date$(), DateSerial(), DateValue(), Day(),

Days360(), Today(), Month(), Weekday(), and Year().

Time functions include Time$(), TimeSerial(), TimeValue(), Hour(),

Minute(), Second(), and Now().

NOTE: The date format is determined by the "DateFormat=" line in the

[Microsoft Word] section of the WINWORD6.INI file (Windows), in the Word

Settings (6) file (Macintosh), or in the Registry (Windows NT). (In

Windows, if there is no "DateFormat=" line, Date$() uses the "sShortDate"

setting in the [intl] section of the WIN.INI file.) You can use the

SetPrivateProfileString macro to change the current date format.

For more information on these functions and for examples of specific

WordBasic commands, refer to the "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit," or

choose Contents from the Help menu, then choose "Programming with Microsoft

Word" (without the quotation marks). Choose the "Statements and Functions

Index" topic and select the desired command.

GP Fault in GRAM.DLL When Grammar Checking

Article ID: Q122944

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you perform a grammar check in Word, you may get a general protection

(GP) fault in the GRAM.DLL module. For example, the following sentence in

Word for Windows

   I am responsible for the schedule and feature set of my product

   and guide its entire development process from the initiation phase

   through product release.

results in the following GP fault:

   WINWORD caused a General Protection Fault in module GRAM.DLL

   at 0053:0CDD.

If you grammar check the above sentence using Word for the Macintosh or

Word for Windows NT, you will not receive a GP fault. Instead, you will

receive an incorrect suggestion in the Suggestion box.

CAUSE

=====

The Subject-Verb Agreement option is activated. (To locate this option,

choose Options from the Tools menu, select the Grammar tab, choose the

Customize Settings button, choose the Grammar option, and in the list below

the Grammar option you'll see the "Subject-Verb Agreement" option.)

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products

listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem

and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it

becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Clear the Subject-Verb Agreement option:

          a. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

          b. Select the Grammar tab.

          c. Choose the Customize Settings button.

          d. Choose the Grammar option.

InsertTableOfAuthorities Doesn't Write WINWORD6.INI Entries

Article ID: Q122947

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The InsertTableOfAuthorities command does not add the [Table of Authorities

Categories] section to the WINWORD6.INI file. By contrast, this section is

added to the WINWORD6.INI file when you choose to add the table of

authorities using the Index And Tables command on the Insert menu.

For example, the following macro does not add this section:

   Sub MAIN

      MarkCitation .LongCitation = "Joe v. Bob", .Category=1

      InsertTableOfAuthorities .Category = 1

   End Sub

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a,

and 6.00c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

The EditTOACategory command must be used in the macro for each Table of

Authorities Category that needs to be added to the WINWORD6.INI file. The

EditTOACategory command precedes the InsertTableofAuthorities command as

shown in this example:

   Sub Main

      EditTOACategory .Category = 1, .CategoryName = "Cases"

      MarkCitation .LongCitation = "Joe vs. Jane", .Category = 1

      InsertTableofAuthorities .Category = 1

   End Sub

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The first time you create a table of authorities (using the Index And

Tables command from the Insert menu), the [Table of Authorities Categories]

section is added to the WINWORD6.INI file. This section includes 16 default

categories. The WordBasic InsertTableofAuthorities command does not add

this entry and also does not define the default categories in the

WINWORD6.INI file. The result of not having these entries in the

WINWORD6.INI file are shown in the following examples:

A table of authorities created using the Index And Tables command from the

Insert menu, looks like this:

   CASES

   Joe vs. Jane..........................1

Using the macro from the "Symptoms" section above, a table of authorities

will look like this:

   Joe vs. Jane..........................1

Note that the Category title "CASES" (without the quotation marks) is

missing. This is because the macro does not create the [Table of

Authorities Categories] section in the WINWORD6.INI file.

Developing Word Linked Libraries (WLLs) on the Macintosh

Article ID: Q122985

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

You can create add-ins that interact directly with Macintosh Word by using

a programming language such as Symantec THINK C, the Microsoft application

programming interface (Word API), and the tools provided on the "Microsoft

Word Developer's Kit, 2nd Edition" disk. Appendix C of the "Microsoft Word

Developer's Kit, 2nd Edition" covers the concepts, tools, and methods for

programming Word add-in libraries (WLLs).

MORE INFORMATION

================

To develop WLLs on the Macintosh, you need the following:

 - "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit, 2nd Edition"

 - Microsoft Word version 6.0 or later for the Macintosh

 - Apple Macintosh System 7.0 or later

 - A compiler that can produce Macintosh code resources (for example,

   Symantec THINK C)

The files necessary to build WLLs are located in the CAPI folder on the

"Microsoft Word Developer's Kit, 2nd Edition" disk. Within the CAPI folder,

the SAMPLE folder contains the files needed to build a sample WLL using

Symantec's THINK C compiler. This sample code provides a good starting

point for developing your own WLLs.

The third-party products included here are manufactured by vendors

independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,

regarding these products' performance or reliability.

WordBasic Errors Creating New Document, Opening, or Saving

Article ID: Q122992

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You may receive the following error message, or other WordBasic errors,

when you choose Open from the File menu, when you try to create a new

document, or when you try to save a document.

   WordBasic err=124

   Undefined sub or function

CAUSE

=====

This error may result when you have one of the following products

installed:

 - MasterWord version 2.0

 - Woody's Office Power Pack (WOPR) version 2.0

 - Any third-party add-in product that is incompatible with Word 6.0

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Rename the FileOpen, FileSave, and FileNew macros to xFileOpen,

          xFileSave, and xFileNew. Once the macros are renamed, Word will

          return to its default functionality instead of running the

          macros.

          Note: If you have further problems, you may choose to rename your

          Normal template. To do this, exit Word for Windows and rename the

          NORMAL.DOT file to NORMAL.OLD and restart Word.

Method 2: Upgrade to a later version of MasterWord, WOPR, or other add-in

          product.

MORE INFORMATION

================

MasterWord, WOPR, and other third party add-in products may replace Word's

built-in commands (FileOpen, FileNew, and FileSave, for example) with

macros. These macros are stored in your Normal template. When you upgrade

from Word 2.0 to Word 6.0, your original Normal template is preserved. If

you open the Normal template and save it, many of the macros will be

converted. However, others are not converted, and as a result you will

receive one or more WordBasic errors. For additional information on

WordBasic commands that have changed between the two versions of Word,

please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   ARTICLE-ID: Q107791

   TITLE     : WinWord 2.0 vs. 6.0: Changed or Deleted WordBasic Commands

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for Windows and Word for Windows NT, when you hold down CTRL and

click the left mouse button in the left margin of your document, Word fails

to select the document. Identical behavior occurs in Word for the

Macintosh, when you hold down COMMAND and click the mouse button. Word

appears to highlight the entire document, but then the highlight disappears

from the document and appears only in the framed object.

=====

This problem occurs when a frame is anchored to the first paragraph in the

document, you are using the CTRL+click (or COMMAND+click) combination and

you are trying to select the document in page layout view.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Use one of the following methods to select the document:

Method 1: Switch to normal view before using CTRL+click (or COMMAND+click)

          to select the document.)

Method 2: From the Edit menu, choose Select All.

Method 3: Press CTRL+A in Word for Windows and Word for Windows NT or

          COMMAND+A in Word for the Macintosh.

Method 4: Move the frame's anchor to another paragraph in the document.

          To do this:

          a. Choose the Show/Hide button on the Standard Formatting

             Toolbar.

          2. Select the framed object. The anchor will appear to the left

             of the first paragraph.

          3. Drag the anchor to another paragraph, such as the second

             one.

File Sharing Prevents Macros from Deleting Folders

Article ID: Q122996

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

FilePageSetup Macro Changes Section Properties

Article ID: Q122997

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you run a macro that changes the page size for a section of your

document, you may unintentionally change the margins and section break

properties for the entire document.

This problem occurs when the FilePageSetup command includes the

.ApplyPropsTo argument. When you run the macro, Word incorrectly changes

the margins and the section break properties for the entire document to

reflect the properties of the section where your insertion point was

located when you ran the macro.

For example, you have the following attributes set for a document

with four sections, and your insertion point is in the last section:

    Section #1 - New Page section break, 2" left margin

    Section #2 - Continuous section break, 1.5" left margin

    Section #3 - Odd Page section break, 1" left margin

    Section #4 - Even Page section break, 0.5" left margin

When you run the following macro to change the page size, all sections are

changed to Even Page section breaks, and your margins are set to .5 inch

for all pages:

    Sub MAIN

    FilePageSetup .PageWidth = "8.5" + Chr$(34), .PageHeight = "11" +

    Chr$(34), .ApplyPropsTo = 4

    End Sub

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products mentioned at

the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will

post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes

available.

Gutter in Unexpected Location in Mixed-Orientation Document

Article ID: Q123055

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a and 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

The gutter margin may appear in an unexpected location in the Page Setup

dialog box's Preview box if the document contains multiple orientations.

For example, if a document's first section has landscape orientation, the

gutter appears at the bottom of subsequent pages with portrait orientation.

Or, if the first section of a document has portrait orientation, the gutter

appears at the top of subsequent pages with landscape orientation.

Note that the gutter is not displayed in the Preview box if it is set to 0

inches.

CAUSE

=====

The placement of gutters in a document with mixed orientations is

determined by the orientation of the document's first section. Gutters are

applied to all sections in the same physical location on the page so the

document can be bound as one piece.

RESOLUTION

==========

To create a section with landscape orientation that does not affect the

gutters of pages with portrait orientation, offset the landscape section

with section breaks as described in the following steps:

1. From the Insert Menu, choose Break.

2. In the Section Break box, select the Next Page option button and then

   choose the OK button.

3. Press the ENTER key three times to insert three blank lines in

   the document.

4. Repeat steps 1-2 to insert another break.

5. Place the insertion point between the two breaks.

6. From the File menu, choose Page Setup.

7. Select the Paper Size tab, and then select the Landscape option button

   in the Orientation box.

8. Select the Margins tab, and then set the gutter size you want in the

   Gutter box.

9. Choose OK.

Incorrect Formatting in Index or Table of Contents

Article ID: Q123057

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Direct (or manual) formatting, such as bold or underline formats, applied

to XE or TC fields are carried over to the table of contents and the index

field results.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

To avoid this problem, reset the XE or TC fields to the default formatting.

Method 1: Select the XE or TC field and press CTRL+SPACEBAR. This forces

          the character formatting to return to the default of the

          current style.

Method 2: Use a macro to automate this process. The following macro resets

          each of the XE fields in the document. Use this macro to reset

          direct formatting that affects your index.

          Sub MAIN

          Dim TOV As ToolsOptionsView

          GetCurValues TOV

          If TOV.ShowAll = 0 Then

             ToolsOptionsView .ShowAll = 1

             Change$ = "yes"

          End If

          EditBookmark .Name = "ClearFormats", .Add

          StartOfDocument

          EditFind .Find = "^d XE", .Direction = 0, .MatchCase = 0,

          .WholeWord = 0, .PatternMatch = 0, .SoundsLike = 0, .Format =

          0, .Wrap = 1

          While EditFindFound()

             ResetChar

             EditFind

          Wend

          StartOfDocument

          EditFind .Find = "^dXE", .Direction = 0, .MatchCase = 0,

          .WholeWord = 0, .PatternMatch = 0, .SoundsLike = 0, .Format =

          0, .Wrap = 1

          While EditFindFound()

             ResetChar

             EditFind

          Wend

          EditSelectAll

          UpdateFields

          EditGoTo .Destination = "ClearFormats"

          If Change$ = "yes" Then ToolsOptionsView .ShowAll = 0

          End Sub

Method 3: Use the following macro to remove the direct formatting applied

          to each of the TC fields and then update the table of contents:

          Sub MAIN

          Dim TOV As ToolsOptionsView

          GetCurValues TOV

          If TOV.ShowAll = 0 Then

             ToolsOptionsView .ShowAll = 1

             Change$ = "yes"

          End If

          EditBookmark .Name = "ClearFormats", .Add

          StartOfDocument

          EditFind .Find = "^d TC", .Direction = 0, .MatchCase = 0,

          .WholeWord = 0, .PatternMatch = 0, .SoundsLike = 0, .Format =

          0, .Wrap = 1

          While EditFindFound()

             ResetChar

             EditFind

          Wend

          StartOfDocument

          EditFind .Find = "^dTC", .Direction = 0, .MatchCase = 0,

          .WholeWord = 0, .PatternMatch = 0, .SoundsLike = 0, .Format =

          0, .Wrap = 1

          While EditFindFound()

             ResetChar

             EditFind

          Wend

          EditFind .Find = "^19 toc"

          SendKeys "{F9}%e{enter}"

          EditGoTo .Destination = "ClearFormats"

          If Change$ = "yes" Then ToolsOptionsView .ShowAll = 0

          End Sub

Drag-and-Drop Pointer Does Not Change to Prohibit Pointer

Article ID: Q123098

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word for the Macintosh, the drag-and-drop mouse pointer may not change

to a prohibit pointer (a slashed circle) when you drag into an area where

you cannot drop text.

CAUSE

=====

The Microsoft OLE Extension file was not in the System:Extensions folder

when you started your Macintosh.

 -or-

You started your Macintosh with extensions off (by pressing and holding

down the SHIFT key and then starting your computer).

NOTE: The drag-and-drop pointer never changes to a prohibit icon in Word

5.0 or 5.1 for the Macintosh when you drag into an area where you cannot

drop text.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh.

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

==========

Make sure the Microsoft OLE Extension file is located in your

System:Extensions folder and that extensions are turned on when you run

Word.

NOTE: Sometimes the mouse pointer fails to change to a prohibit pointer

even when the Microsoft OLE Extension file is loaded correctly.

MacWord: WordBasic Error 135 on Dialog Box Sizing Command

Article ID: Q123099

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

WordBasic commands to control the size or position of a custom dialog box

may return the following WordBasic error in Word for the Macintosh:

   WordBasic Err=135

   The () statement is not available in Word for ()

CAUSE

=====

The following commands, which control the size or position of user dialog

boxes in Word 6.0 for Windows, are not available in Word 6.0 for the

Macintosh and return errors:

AppSize

AppMove

AppWindowHeight

AppWindowWidth

AppWindowPosTop

AppWindowPosLeft

AppMove, AppWindowPosTop, and AppWindowPosLeft change the location of the

dialog box on the screen.

The remaining commands (AppSize, AppWindowHeight, and AppWindowWidth)

control the height and/or width of a custom dialog.

WORKAROUND

==========

To force some items to disappear and others to appear, the DlgVisible

command may be used to hide one command and view another in its place.

This may be used to show many different items in one dialog box. For

example, to show help for a dialog box, create a button that hides all the

items in the dialog box and makes the help text visible. When the button is

clicked again, it reverses the process.

ToolsCreateLabels Uses AutoText Entry Instead of LabelText

Article ID: Q123100

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you use the LabelAutoText argument with the ToolsCreateLabels WordBasic

statement, Word ignores the LabelText argument and inserts the text of the

specified AutoText entry instead.

For example, the following statement inserts the ToolsCreateLabels1

AutoText entry specified by the LabelAutoText argument instead of the "123"

string specified by the LabelText argument:

ToolsCreateLabels .ExtractAddress = 0, .LabelListIndex = 0, .LabelIndex =

48, .LabelDotMatrix = 0, .LabelTray = 1, .PrintBarCode = 0, .SingleLabel =

0, .LabelRow = "1", .LabelColumn = "1", .AddToDocument, .LabelAutoText =

"ToolsCreateLabels1", .LabelText = "123"

CAUSE

=====

When you include the LabelAutoText argument as part of a ToolsCreateLabels

statement, Word always uses that argument, even if the statement also

contains a LabelText value.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: If you want to specify the label text as part of the

          ToolsCreateLabels statement, use the .LabelText argument only and

          not the .LabelAutoText argument. For example, if you remove the

          LabelAutoText argument from the above macro, Word inserts the

          "123" LabelText argument as expected:

          ToolsCreateLabels .ExtractAddress = 0, .LabelListIndex = 0,

          .LabelIndex = 48, .LabelDotMatrix = 0, .LabelTray = 1,

          .PrintBarCode = 0, .SingleLabel = 0, .LabelRow = "1",

          .LabelColumn = "1", .AddToDocument, .LabelText = "123"

Method 2: If you want to leave the LabelAutoText argument in your macro,

          you can delete the AutoText entry (in the above macro, the

          AutoText entry is named ToolsCreateLabels1). When the macro

          cannot find the AutoText entry named in the LabelAutoText

          argument, it uses the LabelText value instead.

Questions and Answers: Microsoft Internet Assistant for Word

Article ID: Q123101

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article answers the most frequently asked questions regarding the

Microsoft Internet Assistant for Word 6.0 for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

================

 1. Q. What is Microsoft Internet Assistant for Word 6.0 for Windows?

    A. Internet Assistant is a free add-on program that makes Word for

       Windows the easiest, most powerful tool for creating, exploring, and

       sharing information on the World Wide Web (WWW), a global network of

       servers on the Internet.

 2. Q. How do I get this add-on and when will it be available?

    A. Microsoft Internet Assistant will be posted under the "What's New"

       heading on the Microsoft Home Page of the World Wide Web. To access

       the Microsoft Home Page, connect to the Internet and use URL

       HTTP://WWW.MICROSOFT.COM/PAGES/DESKAPPS/WORD/IA/. You will be able

       to obtain Internet Assistant on floppy disk directly from Microsoft

       Sales Information Center (MSIC) near the end of March 1995.

 3. Q. How does Word simplify creating Web pages?

    A. Anyone who knows Word automatically knows how to write documents for

       the Internet because the Internet Assistant for Word now

       automatically generates hypertext markup language (HTML), the

       standard file format of World Wide Web documents. You no longer need

       to learn the HTML format or spend time to manually input HTML tags

       to create documents for the World Wide Web. With Internet Assistant,

       Word does it for you. In addition, with Internet Assistant, you can

       create hyperlinks between documents with simple copy and paste

       commands.

 4. Q. Does this work directly with my other Microsoft Office applications,

       such as Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Microsoft Access?

    A. Yes. You can easily create hyperlinks from Word to other Microsoft

       Office applications. This means you can create richly formatted

       compound documents using all the powerful word processing

       capabilities of Word without encountering all the limitations of the

       HTML format. (HTML does not currently support tables, columns,

       bullets, or OLE.)

 5. Q. Can I use Internet Assistant to browse or surf the Internet?

    A. Yes. It's easy to connect to and browse the Internet using Internet

       Assistant because you can do it directly from Word's familiar

       interface, which eliminates the need to use different authoring and

       browsing tools. You also have access to the most popular Internet

       services because Internet Assistant comes with built-in support for

       the key Internet protocols (namely, HTTP, FTP, and Gopher).

 6. Q. How is Internet Assistant going to work with Microsoft Network

       (code-named Marvel)? Is there a connection?

    A. You'll be able to use the Microsoft Network, or Marvel, to interact

       with many features on the Internet. Our tools are targeted at the

       customer who wants to produce and publish materials for Web

       Servers. Marvel customers will, over time, be able to view Web

       information, so there will be a natural connection between Marvel

       and Internet Assistant. Once again, you'll be able to use tools you

       already own and use.

 7. Q. Can I run Internet Assistant on any other operating systems?

    A. Internet Assistant runs on 16-bit Word 6.0 for Windows. It does not

       run on Word 6.0 for the Macintosh nor on Word 6.0 for Windows NT

       (32-bit Word). You can, however, run Internet Assistant on the

       16-bit version of Word 6.0 running under Windows NT.

 8. Q. Will I need to purchase other products in conjunction with Word

       and Internet Assistant to connect to the World Wide Web? If so, what

       products does Microsoft recommend?

    A. As with any Internet connection, you need appropriate hardware, a

       physical connection to the Internet, and an Internet access account

       from a service provider. For details, contact a computer reseller in

       your area.

 9. Q. How does Microsoft Internet Assistant compare with Mosaic? Are you

       in competition with Mosaic?

    A. Whereas Mosaic is a view-only browser product, you can use Internet

       Assistant to edit or create as well as view HTML documents. Just

       like Mosaic, you can obtain Internet Assistant at no cost because we

       want to encourage expanded use of the Internet and foster greater

       satisfaction with it.

The Mosaic product mentioned here is manufactured by NCSA, a vendor

independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,

regarding this product's performance or reliability.

COMMAND+OPTION+PLUS SIGN Mouse Pointer Changes Back to Arrow

Article ID: Q123209

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you use the COMMAND+OPTION+PLUS SIGN key combination to customize your

Word for the Macintosh menus, the mouse pointer changes to a bold plus sign

(+). However, when you move the pointer over a dialog box, the plus sign

pointer changes back to an arrow pointer. Similarly, if the pointer is in a

dialog box, the pointer may not change to a plus sign, or it may change

back to an arrow as soon as you move the mouse.

Even though the plus sign pointer changes back to an arrow, Word still adds

the command that you clicked to a menu.

NOTE: After the plus sign pointer disappears, if you press

COMMAND+OPTION+PLUS SIGN a second time, Word correctly adds the Customize

Add Menu Shortcut to the bottom of the Tools menu. (You might press

COMMAND+OPTION+PLUS SIGN a second time out of confusion when the plus sign

pointer disappears.)

STATUS

=======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Use the Customize command on the Tools menu to add items to your Word

menus.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The COMMAND+OPTION+MINUS SIGN key combination works correctly to remove an

item from a menu, and the mouse pointer remains a bold minus sign as

expected.

Word Starts Slowly When Using a Network Printer Driver

Article ID: Q123210

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If Windows or Windows NT is using a printer driver that is located on a

network print server instead of a local printer driver on your hard disk,

it may take much longer to start Word for Windows or Word for Windows NT.

CAUSE

=====

When you start Word, it gathers printer driver information to use for

document formatting and printing operations. If the printer driver is

located on the remote print server, it can take Word longer to make the

connection to the print server and gather the information it needs.

When you are using a remote printer driver, you may also notice that it

takes longer to change your default printer setting, and sometimes Word may

print more slowly.

RESOLUTION

==========

Use a local printer driver instead of one that resides on the print server.

To install a printer driver on your local hard disk under Windows NT, use

the following procedure (for Windows 3.1 instructions, refer to your

Windows documentation):

1. Switch to Print Manager.

2. From the File menu, choose Create Printer.

3. Select a driver type and type a name for the printer.

4. From the Print To list, select Other.

5. Select Local Port.

6. Type the network path for the location of your printer.

   Note: Windows NT will prompt you to supply the location of the printer

   driver files if they do not exist on your local system.

7. To activate the local printer driver, choose Connect To Printer

   from the File menu in Print Manager.

8. Type the network path for the location of your printer.

"Insufficient memory..." Editing Embedded MS Excel 5.0 Chart

Article ID: Q123289

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In a Word for Windows document, if you double-click an embedded Microsoft

Excel 5.0 Chart object to edit it in place ("in situ"), the following error

message may occur:

   Word has insufficient memory. You will not be able to undo this action

   once it is completed. Do you want to continue?

This error message is incorrect, because usually no low-memory condition

exists. Regardless of whether you choose Yes or No in the error message

dialog box, Word opens the embedded chart object for editing in place.

This does not happen if you open the chart object in a separate

window instead of editing it in place. (To open the chart object in a

separate window, select it and then choose Chart Object from the Edit

menu. From the menu that appears, choose Open.)

This behavior occurs even if you have ample memory. It does not happen in

Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, Word 6.0 for Windows NT (32-bit Word), in

Windows 3.1 Write, or in Microsoft Publisher.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Note: This is not the same problem as that described in the following

Microsoft Knowledge Base article, in the ""Out of Memory" Error Opening

Using a Macro to Tell If 16- or 32-Bit Word Currently Running

Article ID: Q123303

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

This article describes how to use the AppInfo$() function to return

information about whether you are running the 16-bit version of Word (Word

for Windows) or the 32-bit version of Word (Word for Windows NT). This

information is important when you use macros that must access functions in

Windows DLL files because 32-bit applications can only access 32-bit DLLs.

MORE INFORMATION

================

NOTE: This article assumes a basic working knowledge of WordBasic.

The AppInfo$() function can return one of 25 types of information about the

Word application. To determine the operating system, which in turn

indicates whether you are running the 16-bit or the 32-bit version, use the

following command:

   AppInfo$(1)

 - If the 32-bit version of Word is running on Windows NT 3.5, AppInfo$(1)

   will return "Windows NT 3.50."

 - If the 16-bit version of Word is running on either Windows 3.1 or

   Windows NT 3.5, AppInfo$(1) will return "Windows 3.10."

Although it appears that AppInfo$(1) cannot distinguish between the

operating systems, the 16-bit version of Word is actually running in a

Windows 3.1 subsystem of NT. Thus, AppInfo$(1) returns "Windows 3.10"

because it is not a native 32-bit application. With this in mind, if the

string returned by AppInfo$(1) contains "NT", the version of Word is the 32-

bit version.

The following macro example identifies the type of Word for Windows

currently running:

Sub MAIN

System$ = AppInfo$(1)

If Instr(System$,"NT") Then

   MsgBox "This is NT Word"

Else

   MsgBox "This is 16-bit Word"

End Sub

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Edit Find Does Not Find Text Formatted as All Uppercase

Article ID: Q123304

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You cannot find or replace All Caps text. This problem occurs when you

created the uppercase text by one of the following methods:

 - You typed the uppercase text with the CAPS LOCK key on.

 - You used the Change Case command on the Format menu to change the text

   to uppercase.

 - You used SHIFT+F3 to change the case of your text.

CAUSE

=====

By design in Word, when you search for uppercase text by selecting the All

Caps effect in the Find Font dialog box, only text you formatted with the

All Caps option will be found. (To locate the All Caps option, choose Font

from the Format menu, select the Font tab, and see All Caps under Effects.)

By design, All Caps formatting affects only lowercase characters. It does

not affect uppercase letters, numbers, punctuation, or other nonalphabetic

characters. All Caps formatting does not change the ASCII value of the

characters. By contrast, when you use the Change Case command, SHIFT+F3 or

CAPS LOCK, you are changing the case as well as the ASCII value of the

characters. Lowercase characters have different ASCII values than uppercase

characters.

RESOLUTION

==========

Type the uppercase text you are searching for in the Find What box of the

Find or Replace dialog box. Do not select All Caps.

MORE INFORMATION

================

All Caps text and uppercase text appear the same. To determine if you have

applied All Caps formatting, choose the Reveal Formats button on the

Standard toolbar and click the text.

Word Opens Previewed File As Read-Only Without Notification

Article ID: Q123305

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0c

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If one workstation on a network is previewing a document (accessed by

choosing Find File from the File menu) and another workstation opens the

same document, then, without notifying the second workstation, Word opens

the document as read-only.

CAUSE

=====

Word for Windows creates a file lock on the document being previewed but

does not create an owner file. When the second workstation opens the

document, Word looks for an owner file, but one does not exist. Word then

assumes that the file is read-only because there is a file lock on the

file.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0c for

Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here

in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

      includepicture "Macintosh HD:Microsoft Word:Clip Art:Apple"

   Note: If the graphic is located on your local hard drive, and if you do

   not plan to use the file from another computer, you can include the Link

   To Picture (\D) switch in the INCLUDEPICTURE field to decrease the size

   of your labels document. When you use the \D switch, Word does not store

   the graphic data with the document. For example, the field would look

   like this:

      {includepicture c:\\winword\\clipart\\apple.wmf \d}

      -or-

      {includepicture "Macintosh HD:Microsoft Word:Clip Art:Apple" \d}

   In Word for Macintosh, be sure to type quotation marks at the beginning

   and end of the path.

How to Insert a Caption Next to an Equation or Object

Article ID: Q123430

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word does not offer a built-in method of automatically inserting a caption

flush with the right edge of a document. Many scientific journals require

equation objects to be either centered or left aligned and the caption to

be on the same line, flush with the right margin, and the caption number

enclosed in parentheses. This article explains how to achieve that format.

Note: This article uses the term "equation," but this method applies to any

item (such as a figure or picture) where the caption needs to appear on the

same line as the object.

Examples of scientific journal formats:

                              y = mx + b                            ( 1 )

- or -

y = mx + b                                                          ( 1 )

MORE INFORMATION

================

Setting Up the Caption

----------------------

For either of the two alignment methods described below, use these steps to

create the label with parentheses:

   1. Select New Label.

   2. In the Label box, type an opening parenthesis.

   3. Choose OK.

   4. In the Caption box, to the right of the number, type a space.

   5. Type a closing parenthesis.

   6. Choose OK.

After you have created the new caption format, you can insert additional

captions by using the following steps:

   1. From the Insert menu, choose Caption.

   2. In the Caption box, to the right of the existing caption, type a

      space and a closing parenthesis.

   3. Choose OK.

Aligning the Equation and Caption

---------------------------------

Note that if you will be cross-referencing the caption number, Method

2 is the preferred method.

Method 1: Set a right-aligned tab for the right margin. After inserting

          the equation, press the TAB key to move to the right edge of

          the page. Insert the caption.

Method 2: Insert the Equation in a table. If you want the equation to

          appear on the left edge of the page, insert a two-column table.

          If you want the equation in the center of the line, insert a

          three-column table.

          To position the equation on left margin:

             a. Insert a two-column table.

             b. Format the first cell (column) width to Auto.

             c. Format the second cell (column) width to 0.5.

             d. Insert the equation in the first cell.

             e. Insert the caption in the second cell.

          To center the equation:

             a. Insert a three-column table.

             b. Format the first and third cells (column) width to 0.5.

             c. Format the second cell (column) width to Auto.

             d. In the second cell, choose the Center button.

             e. Insert the equation in the second cell.

             f. Insert the caption in the third cell.

Method 3: Create a macro that automatically executes Method 2.

Word Takes Longer Than Expected to Build a Table of Contents

Article ID: Q123432

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

It takes an inordinately long time to build a table of contents in Word 6.0

compared to earlier versions of Word.

CAUSE

=====

Because Word 6.0 repaginates the document more slowly than Word 5.x and

because building the table of contents in Word 6.0 requires that the

document be repaginated twice, the process is slower than expected.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh.

                             INTRODUCTION

                             ============

The enclosed WD1025 disk contains a file named INSTALL.DOC that will

install several useful Word 6.0 for Windows macros and a corresponding

toolbar. These macros are described in the "The Supplemental Macros"

section below.

When you follow the installation instructions below, a template called

Appnote1.dot will be copied to your WINWORD\MACROS subdirectory. This

template provides the 18 supplemental macros and the Supplemental

Macros toolbar.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS APPLICATION NOTE

IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is"

without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but

not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and/or

fitness for a particular purpose.

                       INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

                       =========================

To install these macros, do the following:

1. Insert the enclosed WD1025 disk in the appropriate floppy disk

   drive. Copy INSTALL.DOC and XXDOSDIR.PIF from the disk to a

   temporary directory or to your Word for Windows program directory.

2. Start or switch to Microsoft Word for Windows.

3. From the File menu, choose Open. Select the INSTALL.DOC file and

   choose the OK button.

4. A prompt appears asking you if you want to install the supplemental

   macros. Choose Yes. When the installation is finished, a message

   box appears indicating that the installation is complete. (NOTE:

   The installation process may take a few minutes, depending on the

   speed of your computer.)

5. At the bottom of the Word screen a toolbar appears with a single

   button titled Show Macro Toolbar. Click the Show Macro Toolbar

   button to access the macros.

6. A toolbar appears along the bottom of the Word screen that contains

   a toolbar button for each of the macros from this Application Note.

   To determine which macro is assigned to a button, position your

   mouse over the button and read the ToolTip text.

   NOTE: If a ToolTip does not appear, choose Toolbars from the View

   menu and select the Show ToolTips check box.

When the Supplemental Macros toolbar is available, the Appnote1.dot

file is loaded as a global template. If you click the Hide Toolbar

button on the Supplemental Macros toolbar, the toolbar is hidden and

the Appnote1.dot file is no longer a global template.

To remove (uninstall) these supplemental macros

-----------------------------------------------

1. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.

2. From the Macros Available In list, select Normal.dot (Global

   Template).

3. In the Macro Name box, select ShowMacroToolbar and choose the

   Delete button. When Word asks you to confirm the deletion, choose

   the Yes button. Choose the Close button.

4. From the File menu, choose Templates.

5. From the Global Templates And Add-ins box, select Appnote1.dot and

   choose the Remove button. Choose OK.

6. Switch to Windows File Manager and delete the Appnote1.dot file

   from your WINWORD\MACROS subdirectory.

                        THE SUPPLEMENTAL MACROS

                        =======================

Add Current Document to Work Menu

=================================

For easy access, the AddCurrentDocumentToWorkMenu macro adds the

current document name to a menu named Work. After you add the document

to the Work menu and close the document, you can reopen it by

selecting the document name from the Work menu. You can remove

documents you no longer use from the Work menu by doing the following:

1. Press CTRL+ALT+HYPHEN (-).

2. Select the document name from the Work menu.

NOTE: The document name that you choose to remove cannot be the active

document.

ANSIChar

========

The ANSIChar macro displays the ANSI character codes for the

characters within a selection. It also allows you to print or display

this list in a new document.

AutoText Names To Datafile

==========================

All of the names and addresses you added using the Word 2.x for

Windows letter templates (LETBLOCK, LETPERSN, LETMODBK, LETMDSEM) are

stored in Word 6.0 as AutoText entries that begin with the text

"Name:". The AutoTextNamesToDatafile macro exports a copy of the names

and addresses to a data source so that you can perform a mail merge.

Run the AutoTextNamesToDatafile macro and select one of your letter

templates. The macro creates a data source with the names and

addresses from the template you selected.

Insert AutoTextEntry

====================

The InsertAutoTextEntry macro allows you to view your AutoText entries

within a specified template. Instead of one list box with AutoText

entries from all available templates, this macro allows you to view

and insert AutoText entries from a specific template. Choose a

template name from the Current Template and Add-ins drop-down, select

an AutoText entry name, and click the Insert button.

Column Row Reference

====================

The ColumnRowReference macro returns the table column and row numbers

for a single cell or cell range. Position your insertion point within

a cell or select a range of cells and run the macro. The macro

displays a message box containing cell references that you can then

use within a formula field. For example, the following field adds the

contents of table cells B3 and C3: {=SUM(B3:C3)} .

Record Number

=============

The RecordNumber macro can be used to number your records in a data

source table. When you run the macro, a Rec_Num field is added with

sequential numbers. For example:

Rec_Num    Name                  Age

-------------------------------------

1          Joe Smith             23

2          Jimmy Phillips        31

3          Karen Lewis           27

NOTE: This macro works only in a data source that does not include

text before the table.

Word2 View Header Footer

========================

The Word2ViewHeaderFooter macro opens the Word 2.x for Windows

Header/Footer dialog box. To edit the header or footer text, select

the appropriate options and choose OK. An editing pane will appear at

the bottom of your screen.

Puzzle

======

Take a break from your word processing tasks and try arranging puzzle

pieces 1-15 in order. To slide a piece to the adjacent empty slot,

click it.

App Runner

==========

The AppRunner macro brings up a dialog box that allows you to start

commonly used applications, such as File Manager, Sysedit, Print

Manager, and Control Panel.

DOSDirectory

============

The DOSDirectory macro displays a dialog box similar to Word's Open

dialog box. Select a file extension or type a file extension in the

File Name box (for example, you can type *.w4w to retrieve a listing

of files that end with the W4W extension). After you have selected the

appropriate options, choose the OK button and the macro will retrieve

a list of available files and directories. The directory listing is

displayed in a new document window. You can then print or save the new

document.

MS-DOS File Utilities

=====================

Basic MS-DOS file management functionality is available using the

DOSFileUtilities macro. For example, you can copy, move, delete, or

rename files. You can connect to a network drive, create a new

directory, and get system information.

Send Mail As Attachment or Text

===============================

The MailAsTextOrAttachment macro sends the current document as an

attachment or as text. When you run the macro, Word prompts you to

choose Text or Attachment. If you select Text, the text from the

current document window is copied into a new mail message. If you

select the Attachment option button, the document is added to a new

mail message as an attachment.

Multi Select (Spike) and Multi Select Unload (Insert Spike)

===========================================================

The MultiSelect macro allows you to collect items from your document

and store them in Word's Spike. Unlike Word's Spike command, the

MultiSelect macros don't cut the text from your document, but rather

copy the text to the Spike. Once you have added a few items, you can

insert the contents of the Spike at the insertion point. The

MultiSelect and MultiSelectUnload macros extend the functionality of

Word's Spike and InsertSpike commands.

To copy items to the Spike, first select the text and then click the

Multi Select toolbar button; continue selecting and choosing the Multi

Select button to append as many items as you like. To insert the

contents of the Spike into your document, click the Multi Select

Unload button. Items added to the Spike are separated by paragraph

marks.

For more information on the Spike functionality in Word, see pages 78-

79 in the "Microsoft Word User's Guide."

Auto Correct Utility

====================

The AutoCorrectUtility macro allows you to back up and later restore

your AutoCorrect entries. You can also choose to print a listing of

your AutoCorrect entries or insert the entries into a new document

window. When you run the Auto Correct Utility, a document named

ACORRECT.DOC appears behind a dialog box. In the dialog box, you can

choose to back up, restore, print, or insert your AutoCorrect entries

into a new document. If you choose the Backup button, a backup of your

AutoCorrect entries is stored in the ACORRECT.DOC file. The

ACORRECT.DOC file can then be distributed to other users who can use

the restore functionality (this allows you to distribute your

AutoCorrect entries to other users). The ACORRECT.DOC file is located

in your WINWORD\MACROS subdirectory.

  NOTE: The AutoCorrect dialog box will appear briefly for each of

  your AutoCorrect entries. If you have a number of AutoCorrect

  entries, the AutoCorrect dialog box will flash several times (once

  for each AutoCorrect entry).

Add Graphic Border Shading

==========================

The AddGraphicShadow macro can be used to add a 3-D border or shading

to a selected graphic or to all graphics within the current document. To

see the shading, switch to print preview or page layout view.

Watermark

=========

The Watermark macro inserts a watermark into your document. If you are

using a PostScript(R) printer, select the Text option, and then select

the Use Code For PostScript Printer check box. If you don't have a

PostScript printer, select the Text option and then choose the WordArt

Text button, or select the Graphic option and then choose the Find

Graphic button to select a graphic image.

Booklet Printer

===============

The FormatFoldOverBooklet macro allows you to print multiple pages on

a single printed page. The macro copies your document text to a new

document window, changes the formatting to two columns, and switches

the orientation to landscape. The appropriate page numbers are added

below each column.

NOTE: If your printer supports duplex printing, choose Print from the

File menu. Choose the Printer button and then choose the Options

button. Set the duplex option to Long Edge and choose the OK button.

Same Graphic Prints/Displays in Multiple Places

Article ID: Q123618

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

One graphic prints and displays in place of other graphics in your

document.

CAUSE

=====

The first six letters of the filenames are identical--for example,

GRAPHIC1, GRAPHIC2, and GRAPHIC3.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Rename the graphics so that the first six characters of the filenames are

Word Index Ignores Nested Fields in Index Entry

Article ID: Q123680

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a,

   2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you insert (nest) a display field into an index entry in Word version

1.x or 2.x for Windows, the field will not be included in the index entry

of the compiled index. AUTONUM, EQ, and SYMBOL fields are examples of

display fields.

Word 6.0 does allow for these nested display fields to be displayed.

However, if a display field is at the beginning of an XE (index entry)

field, the display field will not be included in the index.

WORKAROUND

==========

To display the nested field in the index entry, text must be entered before

the field. For example, if you wanted an entry like the following in the

index

   1/2 the speed of light, 1       (using the EQ field to

                                    create the fraction)

your XE field would look like the following:

   { XE " { EQ \f(1,2) } the speed of light" }

Note: There is an extra space before the left brace for the EQ field.

Without the space, the result of the EQ field is ignored and only the

remaining text of the entry is included in the compiled index.

Writing 32-Bit WLLs for Word for Windows NT

Article ID: Q123692

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

You can create add-ins that interact directly with Word for Windows NT by

using a 32-bit compiler (such as Microsoft Visual C++ version 2.0), the

Microsoft application programming interface (Word API), and the tools

provided on the "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit, 2nd Edition" disk.

Appendix C of the "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit, 2nd Edition" manual

discusses the concepts, tools, and methods for programming Word add-in

libraries.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Microsoft Word linked libraries (WLLs) written for Word 6.0 for Windows

will also work with Windows NT, but only when used with Word for Windows

(16-bit Word). In order for such a WLL to work with Word for Windows NT (32-

bit Word), you must recompile the WLL with a 32-bit compiler. Use the

CAPILIB.C and CAPILIB.H files included with the "Microsoft Word Developer's

Kit, 2nd Edition," and modify the .DEF file to remove the IMPORTS section.

The "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit, 2nd Edition" includes Word for Windows

NT and Word for the Macintosh information.

GetBookMark$ Returns Value and Form Field Name

Article ID: Q123693

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

If you use the WordBasic GetBookMark$() function to return the value of a

form field bookmark, the form field name and value are returned. For

example, if you have a text box form field named "text1," the following

macro returns the word "FORMTEXT" followed by the text typed into the text1

form field.

Sub Main

Name$ = GetBookmark$("text1")

MsgBox Name$

End Sub

If you type the name John in the text1 form field, the above macro displays

the following string:

   FORMTEXT John

To correctly retrieve information from form fields, use the

GetFormResult$() or GetFormResult() function.

The following macro example correctly returns only the text typed into the

text1 form field.

Sub Main

Name$ = GetFormResult$("text1")

Msgbox Name$

End Sub

For more information on the GetFormResult$() and GetFormResult() functions,

see the "GetFormResult$() function" topic in the Word 6.0 Help file.

Err Msg: "Word Could Not Re-Establish a DDE Connection..."

Article ID: Q123698

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you insert a Microsoft Access database using DDE, you may receive the

following error message:

    Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to

    Microsoft Access to complete the current task.

CAUSE

=====

This error may occur for one of the following reasons:

Case 1:  When you try to insert a Microsoft Access Query or Table whose

        name contains quotation marks, Word will add a second set of

        quotation marks around the name. Since this action returns the

        incorrect information to Microsoft Access, Microsoft Access cannot

        locate the Query or Table and returns the error.

Case 2:  If you select a memo or picture field from a Microsoft Access

        version 1.0 table as a sort field in a Word document, the above

        error message will be returned. Both memo and picture fields are

        automatically filtered out of the Sort menu when a Microsoft

        Access version 1.1 table is used as the data source. Word cannot

        remove the memo or picture field names from the sort dialog box

        for Microsoft Access 1.0. The field types, as part of the data

        table file information, are not supplied by Microsoft Access 1.0.

STATUS

======

Case 1: We are researching this problem and will post new information

        here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Case 2: Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access

        version 1.0. This problem was corrected in version 1.1.

WORKAROUND

==========

Case 1:  Rename the query in Microsoft Access to contain single quotation

         marks (') as the marker.

         -or-

         Use the Microsoft Access ODBC driver instead of DDE.

Case 2:  To avoid this error message, do not attempt to sort Microsoft

         Access 1.0 data tables using the memo or picture fields.

Labels Print Incorrectly with the Generic Text Only Driver

Article ID: Q123699

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you perform a mail merge to print labels to a Panasonic KX-P1124 printer

while using the Generic Text Only version 3.10 printer driver, your labels

will feed incorrectly:

Case 1: If No Page Break is selected in the printer driver setup, the

        labels will not form feed correctly to the next page of labels.

        The first line that should print on the second page prints at

        the bottom of the last label on the first page.

Case 2: If you clear the No Page Break option, a full sheet of labels

        will form feed before continuing to print.

This functionality worked correctly in Word 2.x.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Switch to the Panasonic KX-P1124 printer driver, change the Print Quality

setting to Draft, and use a printer font such as Courier.

To change the Print Quality setting:

1. From the File menu, choose Print.

2. Choose the Printer button.

3. Select the Panasonic KX-P1124 printer and choose the Set As Default

   Printer button.

4. Choose the Options button.

5. From the Print Quality list, choose Draft.

6. Choose the OK button.

7. Choose the Close button.

8. Choose the OK button to print the labels or choose Close to return to

   the document.

Currency-Formatted Numbers Round When Merged Using ODBC

Article ID: Q123700

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Numbers formatted as currency and written to the thousandths (for example,

123.875) in Microsoft Access are rounded to the nearest hundredths (123.88)

when merged to Microsoft Word using ODBC. (This behavior does not occur if

you are merging a Microsoft Access database using DDE.) The expected

behavior is for the number to not be rounded.

CAUSE

=====

Microsoft Access is rounding the number before passing it to Word for

Windows.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access version

2.0 for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

To keep the number from rounding when merged to Word, open the database in

Microsoft Access, and change the formatting for the number to a general

number format. Although this format removes the dollar sign, you can

correct this in Word by using one of the following methods:

Method 1: Include a numeric picture switch in the mergefield, so that the

          field looks like this:

             {mergefield number \# $####,0.000}

Method 2: Place a dollar sign in the main document immediately preceding

          the mergefield that contains the number.

How to Use the Correct Path for a Document on the Desktop

Article ID: Q123701

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Some fields in Word 6.0--such as IncludeText, IncludePicture, Link, and

RD--require you to include the complete path for your document. To

correctly specify the path for a document that is located on the Desktop,

use the following syntax:

   Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:Document Name

If the document is located on the hard drive, use the following syntax:

   Macintosh HD:Document Folder:Document Name

Note: In either case, you will need to replace each folder level and

document name with the correct path.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The Desktop is the area where the trash can and hard drive icons appear. It

is created by two files (Desktop DB and Desktop DF), which under normal

conditions are hidden. The Desktop can be seen only when you use a program

to intentionally make it visible (something like Resedit). When a document

exists on the Desktop, you will see Desktop as an option when you choose

Open from the File menu in Word.

Article ID: Q123705

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you print a document in landscape using A4 paper to a Hewlett-Packard

(HP) II, III, or IIIsi printer, the resulting printed document may be

missing characters along the left margin.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs if you are using A4 paper and do not have an A4 tray.

This will also occur if you do not have an A4 tray and you manually feed

the paper without changing the default paper tray option.

Note: This problem does not occur when printing in PostScript mode.

Text Pasted from Word Loses Formatting

Article ID: Q123706

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows version 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Text copied from Microsoft Word using the Clipboard and then pasted into

applications that are not OLE 2.0 compatible may lose character and

paragraph formatting. Some of the formatting options that do not appear in

the destination application include word wrapping in paragraphs, paragraph

indents, and all character-level formatting such as bold and italic.

CAUSE

=====

Word copies text to the Clipboard in OLE 2.0 format. Applications that do

not support the OLE function of Paste Special, Paste As Object, can only

interpret the Clipboard contents as text.

Shadow/Shadow()

===============

Syntax

------

Shadow [On]

Shadow()

   The On argument tells the Shadow statement to add or remove the shadow

   format. The On argument can have the following values:

   1         Will apply the shadow format to the current selection.

   0(zero)   Removes the shadow format from the current selection.

   Omitted   Toggles the shadow format.

The Shadow statement adds or removes the shadow character format for the

current selection. It can also be used to control the shadow format for

characters to be inserted at the insertion point.

The Shadow() function will check the format of the current selection and

return the following values:

   0(zero)   If none of the selected text has the Shadow format.

  -1         If part of the selected text has the Shadow format.

   1         If all of the selected text has the Shadow format.

NOTE: The Shadow and Shadow() commands are not available on the Windows

platform and will generate WordBasic errors.

Example

-------

The following macro will use the Shadow command to turn on the shadow

character format for the whole document.

   Sub MAIN:

   EditSelectAll

   Shadow 1

   End Sub

The following macro will check to see if any of the currently selected text

has the shadow format. If none of the selected text has the shadow format,

the macro will apply the Shadow format to the selection.

Word for Power Mac Fulfillment Package Ships Only 7 Disks

Article ID: Q123726

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The Word 6.0 for the Power Macintosh fulfillment disks (or "Upgrade")

correctly include only 7 of the 16 disks needed for installation. By

design, only Disk 1 and Disks 11 through 16 are included. These disks are

intended to be used with your original Word 6.0 for the Macintosh disk set.

The purpose of this article is to avoid the confusion that may arise when

you receive this seemingly odd disk set.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The following list shows which disks are supplied with each disk set:

   Word Package                         Disks Included in Disk Set

   ------------                         --------------------------

   Word 6.0 for the Macintosh           Disks 1 through 10

   Word 6.0 for the Power Macintosh

      fulfillment disks ("Upgrade")     Disk 1, Disks 11 through 16

   Word 6.0 for the Macintosh

      and the Power Macintosh (also

      referred to as "Combined")        Disks 1 through 13

The Upgrade disks are designed to be used with your existing Word 6.0 for

the Macintosh disks.

To Install the Upgrade

----------------------

1. Use Disk 1 from the Upgrade disk set.

2. Use Disks 2 through 10 from the original Word 6.0 for the Macintosh 10-

   disk set.

3. Use Disks 11 through 16 from the Upgrade disk set.

This procedure is completely outlined in a cover letter that is included in

the box. The following is an excerpt from that cover letter:

   NOTE: This is not the entire contents of the cover letter.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

To update your Word workstation or server installation, you will need your

original Word 6.0 for the Macintosh disks (numbered Disk 1 through Disk

10) in addition to the Power Macintosh disks in this package (a new Disk 1

and Disks 11-16).

To install Word 6.0 for the Power Macintosh:

1. Run Microsoft Word Setup from Install Disk 1 of the Power Macintosh

   disks, labeled "Install Disk 1."

2. Double click on the Microsoft Word Setup icon.

3. Run "Remove All" to remove previously installed components of Word.

4. When the previous components are removed, select the installation

   options you desire.

5. When prompted for disk 2, insert disk 2 from the Word 6.0 for the

   Macintosh disk set you originally purchased, labeled "Disk 2."

6. Continue inserting Macintosh disks from the original set until you are

   prompted for disk #11, and then insert disk 11 from the Power Macintosh

   disks, labeled "Power Macintosh Disk 11."

7. Disks 12 through 16 will also come from the Power Macintosh disk set.

   After disk 16, installation will be complete.

You will notice that the Power Macintosh disk set contains disks 11, 12,

13, 14, 15, and 16. The original Macintosh disk set ended at disk #10. This

is correct. The supplemental disks contain additional files needed only by

the Power Macintosh.

Font Missing in Font Substitution Dialog Box

Article ID: Q123960

-------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

A font contained in a document may appears as "missing" when you are

viewing the Font Substitution dialog box. (To view the Font Substitution

dialog box, choose Options from the Tools menu, select the Compatibility

tab, and then choose the Font Substitution button.) A font may appear as

"missing" if both of the following conditions occur:

 - The font is not a TrueType font.

 - The "Show Only TrueType Fonts in Applications" option is selected in

   the Control Panel Fonts utility.

Note that even though the font appears as "missing" in the Font

Substitution dialog box, the font is displayed in the document and

printed correctly.

CAUSE

=====

When the "Show Only TrueType Fonts in Applications" option is selected in

the Control Panel Fonts utility, Microsoft Windows refrains from listing

non-TrueType fonts when Word requests a list of fonts. Word considers any

font that is contained in the document but not in the font listing to be

missing. Word is not aware of the "Show Only TrueType Fonts in

Applications" option setting. When Word asks Windows to load the font,

however, the font is loaded correctly.

Word for the Mac Setup Suggestions to Supplement Quick Results

Article ID: Q123961

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Page 4 of the "Microsoft Word Quick Results," manual gives step-by-step

instructions for installing Word on the Macintosh. The information in this

article supplements the instructions in the "Quick Results" manual.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Step 1 instructs you to remove any virus-detection utility. To avoid any

extension conflicts during installation, We recommend that you restart your

Macintosh with all extensions off. To do this, hold down the SHIFT key and

choose Restart from the Special menu. Release the SHIFT key when you

receive the message "Extensions are off."

After installation is complete, you will be asked to restart your computer.

At this time, Word registers with the desktop, but Word does not prompt you

to rebuild your desktop. Apple recommends that you rebuild your desktop

after the installation of any software. To rebuild your desktop, hold down

the COMMAND (Apple) and OPTION keys as you restart your Macintosh. When you

are prompted to confirm rebuilding the desktop, release the COMMAND and

OPTION keys and then choose Yes.

Word 5.1 Documents May Not Print in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh

Article ID: Q124196

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, if you open a document that was created or

edited in Word 5.1 for the Macintosh, when you print the document, the

print out may be a blank, or the document may not be printed at all.

CAUSE

=====

This is caused by an invalid page number value that, when converted to

Word 6.0, causes the document not to print.

RESOLUTION

==========

To correct this problem, use either of the following methods to reset the

document's starting page number.

Method 1: If multiple documents are affected, you may want to use

          the following macro to reset the starting page number

          automatically.

          WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS

          AT YOUR OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is"

          without warranty of any kind, either express or implied,

          including but not limited to the implied warranties of

          merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

          Sub MAIN

             FormatPageNumber

          End Sub

          To automatically run this macro each time you open a file, create

          an AutoOpen macro that includes the above code. AutoOpen macros

          are executed each time you open a file.

Method 2: To manually reset the Page Number:

          a. Open a document.

          b. From the Insert Menu, choose Page Numbers.

          c. Click the Format button.

          d. In the Page Numbering box, click OK.

             When you click OK, the page numbers are inserted.

          e. Click Close.

             When you click Close, the formatting is updated.

After you use either of the methods above, you should be able to print the

document. However, if you are still unable to print the document correctly,

you may be able to fix the document with one of the following techniques.

Method 3: Follow the steps below to save the file in RTF file format:

          a. From the File menu, choose Save As.

          b. From the Save File As Type list, select Rich Text Format, and

             click the Save button.

          c. Close the document and re-open it.

Method 4: Select everything except the last paragraph mark by pressing

          COMMAND+END, then COMMAND+SHIFT+HOME. Copy everything except the

          last paragraph mark to a new document.

          Word for the Macintosh associates a wide variety of formatting

          with the last paragraph mark, especially section and style

          formatting. If you copy everything except the last paragraph mark

          to a new document, the corrupt page number may be left in the

          original document. In the new document, reapply the section or

          style formatting if necessary.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Cannot Trap WordBasic Errors Greater Than 1000

Article ID: Q124531

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Error messages that appear in Word for Windows can be classified in two

basic groups: Word errors and WordBasic errors. This classification is

important because you cannot suppress Word error messages using the

WordBasic On Error, Err, and Error statements.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Error messages numbered 1001 and higher are Word error messages. A error

message box appears when a Word error occurs, regardless of whether your

macro contains error-trapping statements. For example:

Sub MAIN

On Error Goto errors :

FileOpen .Name = "fred.doc"

errors:

If err = 1078 Then Print "File does not exist"

End Sub

The WordBasic On Error statement does not keep Word error message number

1078 from appearing. To avoid Word error messages, your macro must prevent

the error situation from occurring. In the case of opening a file that

doesn't exist, you could change the macro to check whether the file exists

before it tries to open the file. For example:

Sub MAIN

a$ = Files$("FRED.DOC")

If a$ <> "" Then FileOpen .Name = "fred.doc"

End Sub

Note: The Files$ command will return a null string ("") if the specified

file is not found.

Disk 2 Not Requested by PowerMac Setup

Article ID: Q124633

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The letter that accompanies the Word 6.0 for the Power Macintosh

fulfillment disks incorrectly states that you will be prompted for Disk 2.

Disk 2 is not included with the fulfillment disks and is not requested by

the Installer.

In addition, other disks (such as Disk 13) may be skipped, depending on the

type of installation you choose.

Disk 2 is skipped because it contains the Word program file written for

Word 6.0 for the Macintosh.

This article contains the text of the cover letter in the "Contents"

section below.

MORE INFORMATION

================

The original Word 6.0 for the Macintosh disk set contains 10 disks: Disks 1

through 10. The Word for the Power Macintosh fulfillment disk set contains

7 disks: Disk 1 and Disks 11 through 16. Disk 1 of the Word for the Power

Macintosh set replaces Disk 1 of the original Word for the Macintosh disk

Installing Microsoft Word 6.0 for the Power Macintosh

-----------------------------------------------------

Thank you for upgrading to Word 6.0 for the Power Macintosh.

Word 6.0 for the Power Macintosh will enhance the speed of Word on your

Power Macintosh Computers or Macintosh Computers with PowerPC upgrade

cards. All previous versions of Word were designed to run on Motorola's

680x0 chips (Macintosh). Word for the Power Macintosh was designed to take

advantage of the new PowerPC (Power Macintosh) chip. In order for Word to

be accelerated, you must install the Power Macintosh version of Word 6.0.

To update your Word workstation or server installation, you will need your

original Word 6.0 for the Macintosh diskettes (numbered Disk 1 through Disk

10) in addition to the Power Macintosh disks in this package (a new Disk 1

and Disks 11-16).

To install Word 6.0 for the Power Macintosh:

1. Double click on the Microsoft Word Setup icon on your hard disk or the

   Microsoft Word Setup icon on your original Word 6.0 for the Macintosh

   Install Disk 1.

2. Run "Remove All" to remove previously installed components of Word.

3. After it is through, insert Install Disk 1 of the Power Macintosh

   disks, labeled "Install Disk 1."

4. Double click on the Microsoft Word Setup icon.

5. Select the installation options you desire.

6. When prompted for disk 2, insert disk 2 from the Macintosh disk set

   you originally purchased, labeled "Disk 2."

7. Continue inserting Macintosh disks until you are prompted for Disk #11,

   and then insert Disk 11 from the Power Macintosh disks, labeled "Power

   Macintosh Disk 11."

8. Disks 12 through 16 will also come from the Power Macintosh disk set.

   After Disk 16, installation should be complete.

You might notice that this Power Macintosh disk set contains Disks 11, 12,

13, 14, 15, and 16 and the original Macintosh disk set ended at Disk #10.

This is correct. The supplemental disks contain additional files needed

only by the Power Macintosh.

For the United States and Canada:

If you need a replacement set of Word disks, please contact Microsoft Sales

Information Center at (800) 426-9400 (in the United States) or (800) 563-

9048 (in Canada). Customers who are deaf or hard of hearing can reach

Microsoft text telephone (TT/TDD) services by calling (800) 892-5234 (in

Word Quits When Printing to Color StyleWriter 2400

Article ID: Q124663

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Printing in Word 6.0 from a Performa-series Macintosh to a Color

StyleWriter 2400 printer may cause Word to unexpectedly quit.

This seems to be a problem only with this particular printer and with this

computer series.

CAUSE

=====

This problem is caused by a memory conflict between the driver and Word

that manifests itself as a crash on the Performa 63x-series machines.

STATUS

======

This problem has been confirmed to be a problem with the Color StyleWriter

2400 driver (version 1.6 and 1.6.2) and has been reported to Apple. We will

post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes

available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: This problem does not seem to occur if the printer is set to

          the Communications (Modem) port instead of the Printer port. To

          print to the Color StyleWriter 2400 through the communications

          port:

          a. Remove the cable for the Color StyleWriter 2400 from the

             Printer port and plug it into the communications (modem) port.

          b. In the Chooser, select the Color StyleWriter 2400 driver and

             set it to the Communications (Modem) port. Close the Chooser.

          c. Start Word and print a document.

          Note: If you have a modem attached to the computer and your

          communications software packages allow you to reconfigure the

          software so that it will use the printer port, attach the

          modem's cable to the printer port and reconfigure the

          communications software to use that port instead of the

          communication port.

Method 2: If the above method does not work, it may be necessary to change

          a setting in the Cache Switch control panel on your machine. In

          doing this, it will slow down the operation of the machine

          somewhat, but it should print correctly from Word. To do this:

          a. From the Apple menu, choose Control Panels.

          b. Double-click the Cache Switch control panel.

          c. Select the More Compatible check box.

          d. Restart the machine and try printing again from Word.

"What Is QuickDraw GX?" from TidBITS Magazine

Article ID: Q124749

SUMMARY

=======

The following is a verbatim reprint of two articles which appeared in

TidBITS, issues 243-245, copyright 1994 by Tonya Engst, reprinted by

permission of the author.

For more information about TidBITS or this article, email info@tidbits.com.

The third-party products included here are manufactured by vendors

independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,

regarding these products' performance or reliability.

MORE INFORMATION

================

  QuickDraw GX had a great deal of advance press, which isn't

  surprising given that it was originally supposed to ship with the

  first release of System 7 three years ago. Apple promised it would

  improve the Chooser and Print Monitor, word processing companies

  swore it would easily enable landscape and portrait page

  orientations in the same document, font makers noted that GX-style

  fonts can offer much more than ever before, Adobe, Farallon, and

  other digital document software creators surely noticed the

  Portable Digital Document Maker feature, and we users tried to

  sort out the features from the babble and the hype. This multi-

  part article explains what to expect from QuickDraw GX and the

  basics of how to use it.

  QuickDraw GX comes with Apple's recently released System 7.5, but

  third-party developers can license it for a small fee and include

  it with their products (it comes on four high-density floppy

  disks). I acquired my copy through Peirce Software's Peirce Print

  Tools, a set of QuickDraw GX extensions that add assorted printing

  capabilities to the basic GX lineup. (You can find out more about

  GX extensions in Part II of this article, and I plan to review

  Peirce Print Tools in an upcoming TidBITS issue.)

**Hardware Headaches and Software Minimums** -- QuickDraw GX isn't

  for everyone and requires more RAM than many Macs have to spare.

  Here's the low down - to run QuickDraw GX, you need:

* System 7.1 or later

* 68020-based Macintosh or newer (including the Power Macs)

* Approximately 1.7 MB of RAM that you can dedicate to QuickDraw

  GX

* 400K RAM that you can dedicate to Adobe Type Manager GX (only if

  you use ATM GX)

* A GX printer driver for your printer. QuickDraw GX comes with

  drivers for: StyleWriters (no Color StyleWriter), ImageWriters,

  various LaserWriters (a few of the QuickDraw LaserWriters appear

  to be missing, but you may be able to substitute an existing

  driver for a missing one). Note that many (if not all) PostScript

  printers do work with the LaserWriter driver, but if you need to

  (or wish to) use a third-party driver, you must ask the third-

  party about the driver (in general, third-parties are releasing GX

  drivers).

  If your hardware can handle GX and you like to play around with

  funky printing projects, GX offers you hours of amusement. If you

  work in an environment where a bank of printers hang out near

  every water fountain and you can never remember whose office has

  the color DeskWriter this month, then you need GX to help you

  avoid extra trips to the Chooser. If you work in a corporate

  environment where the Help Desk staff is more NT-oriented than

  Mac-savvy and (as a result) you know the location of every Mac

  printer within a twenty minute walk, GX will save you more trips

  to the Chooser than you can make in a month of Sundays.

**What Supports QuickDraw GX?** -- Remember System 7-savvy?

  Depending on who you asked, System 7-savvy meant different things,

  although after a while people came to agree that you might expect

  a System 7-savvy application to support virtual memory, Publish &

  Subscribe, offer at least a few Apple events, and so on.

  Similarly, GX-savvy means different things to different people,

  but on a basic level, a GX-savvy application must support the "GX

  printing architecture" by recognizing GX printer drivers and

  offering GX-style Print and Page Setup dialog boxes. On a more

  sophisticated level, a program might support GX fonts by

  recognizing their extended character set (up to 65,000 characters

  per font) and by handling their "line layout capabilities" (Part

  II of this article will have more on GX fonts.)

  To find out to what extent a program supports QuickDraw GX, you'd

  have to ask the company that makes the program, though it's a

  reasonable assumption that software released before this summer

  does not support GX. In much the same way that native Power Mac

  programs have dribbled out over the past seven months, I expect

  that GX-savvy software will slowly arrive, though I expect more

  programs will support the printing architecture than the fonts.

  Of the new crop of word processors coming out this fall, only

  WordPerfect 3.1 and Word 6 can claim GX support (WordPerfect 3.0

  also has GX support.) These three programs support the GX printing

  architecture, but none support the fonts. The soon-to-be released

  FullWrite 2.0 and NisusWriter 4.0 will not support GX, though both

  companies plan to add GX support in future releases. Adobe (the

  name "Aldus" has disappeared into the dust stirred up by the

  Adobe-Aldus merger) is still hedging over GX support for

  PageMaker, and Quark has said QuarkXPress won't support GX, though

  they also said they wouldn't ship a PowerPC native versions and

  later changed their minds.

  Of the three programs currently planned to ship with full GX

  support, the one I'll be keeping an eye out for is Manhattan

  Graphics's Ready,Set,Go! GX version 7, but it will also be

  interesting to check out the full GX support in the more

  specialized Typestry 2 (from Pixar) and FontChameleon (from Ares

  Software Corporation). The folks working on Ready,Set,Go! GX hope

  to ship version 7 by the end of 1994 - I know I'll be checking out

  their booth at January Macworld Expo.

**Desktop Printer Icon** -- Installing GX works much like

  installing any other program, but once you install it, you cannot

  print until you set up a desktop printer (tech support people, pay

  attention here!). If you don't set up a desktop printer, attempts

  to print result in error messages, such as "Select Chooser from

  the Apple menu to create a desktop printer."

  To create a desktop printer, open the Chooser, select a driver

  icon, select a specific port or printer, and then click the Create

  button. The desktop printer icon sits on the desktop, and you

  cannot place it elsewhere, though you can place an alias

  elsewhere. If you select a desktop printer icon, a Printing menu

  appears right of the Special menu. Once you create a desktop

  printer icon, you can print using traditional techniques or by

  dragging a document icon to a desktop printer icon.

  Desktop printers add new printing features and replace Print

  Monitor, affectionately known to those of us who hate it as Print

  Monster. To see documents queued to a printer, double-click the

  corresponding desktop printer. The new printing features enable

  you to put a print job on hold, see a "print preview" of any

  queued job (just double-click the job), remove a print job, start

  printing again on any page, drag a print job to the Finder for

  storage, drag a job to a different desktop printer so it can print

  to the corresponding real life printer, and more.

  Using a desktop printer, you can "share" a real printer, much as

  you would share a hard disk (select the icon and choose Sharing

  from the File menu). You can also password protect printers,

  though this works best on networks where everyone runs GX.

  If you set up more than one desktop printer, one printer becomes

  the default in the Page Setup and Print dialog boxes. The default

  printer has a heavy outline, and you can make any printer the

  default by selecting its icon and choosing Set Default Printer

  from the Printing menu.

  If you only have one or two printers, the desktop printer

  interface works well, but if you have access to many printers, you

  won't want a million printer icons cluttering your desktop. Since

  you can't store the icons anywhere else, I expect a number of

  utilities will show up to assist people in managing desktop

  printers. One possible (but inelegant) strategy for coping with

  too many desktop printers is to pile the icons one on top of the

  other in a corner somewhere and then organize the aliases neatly

  in the Apple menu.

**New Page Setup and Print Dialog Boxes** -- The basic Page Setup

  dialog box offers a More Choices button and four basic options -

  orientation, scale (formerly called reduction), desktop printer

  (or any installed driver, and paper size (including any custom

  size that you set up in the PaperType Editor - more on that in

  Part II).

  If you click the More Choices button, the button turns into a

  Fewer Choices button and the dialog box offers an interface

  reminiscent of the System 6 Control Panel. You might see

  additional page setup choices, either from the active program or

  from a GX extension.

  A number of familiar Page Setup options have retired, and I say

  good riddance to Larger Print Area, Font Substitution, and

  Unlimited Downloadable Fonts (GX fonts download much more

  efficiently to the printer, so there should never be a problem

  with the printer not having enough RAM to accommodate them).

  The new Print dialog box also has a System 6 Control Panel

  interface. "Fewer Choices" mode is straightforward, and should

  take care of the options that most people want most of the time.

  But after you click the More Choices button, you can set a wide

  array of options, which can come from the current application or

  from a GX extension. Perhaps the most intriguing option controls

  how a large image prints if it doesn't fit on one page - you can

  crop the bottom and right so the image fits on one page, tile the

  image so it prints on more than one page, or scale it to fit.

  Other interesting features include setting the print time for a

  document and indicating that a document is urgent and should print

  before other queued documents.

  Before I began playing with QuickDraw GX, I figured it would take

  me a half hour or so to write up an article for TidBITS; instead,

  after many hours, I'm still learning more and I've written enough

  information to fill an entire issue. So, instead of running one

  monster-sized article, I'm breaking this article into one (or

  more) additional articles. Tune in next week for a look at

  QuickDraw GX fonts - the coolest part of QuickDraw GX - and for a

  peek at the various utilities that come with QuickDraw GX (a

  digital document maker, a utility for turning GX off, a new

  LaserWriter Utility, and so on).

  If you have experience with QuickDraw GX and have run into a

  quirk, snafu, or problem, I'd like to hear from you. Or, if you

  bravely installed the beta on seventy Macs printing to ten

  different printers and miraculously had no problems (or none you

  couldn't solve easily), I'd like to know about that as well. Be

  warned, I probably won't offer any solutions, but I'd like to get

  a better feel for GX's overall stability.

Centered Table Becomes Uncentered When Adjusted from Left

Article ID: Q124783

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Horizontally centered tables become uncentered when you adjust the width of

the left column by dragging the left edge of the column.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

There are two workarounds known to recenter the table correctly.

Method 1: After table had been adjusted, change the Indent From Left

          measurement to 0 (zero) or whatever left indent amount is

          preferred. (To locate this setting, choose Cell Height And Width

          from the Table menu, and select the Row tab.)

Method 2: Rather than dragging the left column to resize it, change the

          column width in the Column dialog box. (To locate this setting,

          choose Cell Height And Width from the Table menu, and select the

          Column tab.)

MORE INFORMATION

================

If you adjust a horizontally centered table from the left side of the left

column, the table becomes uncentered. The amount the column was adjusted is

now the Indent From Left setting in the Row dialog box. Adjustment from the

right side of the column(s) works properly. (To locate the Row dialog box,

choose Cell Height And Width from the Table menu, and select the Row tab.)

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you print an envelope created with the Envelopes And Labels dialog box

and you choose the DeskWriter's Preview button, no preview image of the

envelope appears. Instead, choosing this button causes the envelope to

print.

This problem does not occur when you add the envelope to the document.

STATUS

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Choose the Add To Document button and use Word's Preview button

          to see the envelope before printing it.

Method 2: Turn on the Reverse Print Order option before you create the

          envelope. Note: This method causes the document pages to print in

          reverse order.

          To turn on Reverse Print Order:

          1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

          2. Select the Print tab.

          3. Select the Reverse Print Order check box.

Word Hangs with Document Created with QuickDraw GX

Article ID: Q124923

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word hangs (stops responding) when you choose one of the following

commands: Print, Print Preview, Document Layout, or Page Setup.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs when the document was created on an Apple Macintosh

with QuickDraw GX installed, then is opened and saved under a non-GX

system, and then finally printed under QuickDraw GX.

In other words, this happens when all of the following are true:

 - The document was saved as a Word document on a Macintosh with QuickDraw

   GX installed.

   -and-

 - You opened and saved the document on a Macintosh that is not using

   QuickDraw GX.

   -and-

 - You chose one of the following commands when running QuickDraw GX:

   Print, Print Preview, Document Layout, or Page Setup.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh.

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Save the file in Rich Text Format (RTF) before choosing Print, Print

Preview, Document Layout, or Page Setup. This removes the GX print

information from the document. Follow the steps below to save the file in

RTF file format:

1. From the File menu, choose Save As.

2. From the Save File As Type list, select Rich Text Format, and click the

   Save button.

3. Close the document and reopen it.

Server Installation Does Not Install RISC Versions

Article ID: Q125030

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

After you perform an Admin (server) installation of Word for Windows NT

from an Intel-based Windows NT system, MIPS and Alpha AXP versions of Word

do not exist in the Word server directory.

CAUSE

=====

The Setup program included with Word for Windows NT installs only the

necessary program files for the platform that the Setup program is running

from, including Admin installations. Thus, when running the Setup program

on an Intel-based Windows NT workstation, only Intel-based Word Admin

installations can be performed.

RESOLUTION

==========

To create Admin installations for MIPS and Alpha AXP platforms, repeat the

Admin setup process from MIPS and Alpha AXP Windows NT workstations,

respectively. When you perform the Admin install for the other platforms,

select a separate directory for each platform. This will result in three

directories, one for each platform.

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You are unable to activate the numeric keypad using a Word command. This

==========

On Apple's keyboards, the NumLock feature can be toggled on and off by

pressing SHIFT+NUM LOCK (clear).

Some non-Apple keyboards may also use this keystroke. However, some

How to Add Capitalization and Spacing to ToolTips

Article ID: Q125223

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a and 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you create a macro and assign it to a button on a toolbar, Word

assigns a ToolTip to the button. (A ToolTip is the small message box that

appears when the pointer pauses over the button.) You can control the

capitalization and spacing of the words that appear in a ToolTip by knowing

that a ToolTip results from a macro name.

Each uppercase letter in a macro name (unless there are two or more

capitalized letters in a row) tells Word to start a new capitalized word in

the ToolTip. For example:

   The following      Results in the

   macro name         following ToolTip

   -------------      -----------------

   WordDemoMacro      Word Demo Macro

   ZoomControl        Zoom Control

space.)

Blank Fields in Data Source Slows Down Mail Merge

Article ID: Q125247

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

You will experience a decrease in performance during a mail merge when your

data source contains blank fields. This behavior is most noticeable when

you are working in the Data Form (choose the Edit Data Source button on the

Mail Merge toolbar) or when you choose the View Merged Data button on the

Mail Merge toolbar.

CAUSE

=====

Word is searching for the data type of the empty fields. When Word

encounters an empty field, it first looks at the previous field for data

type information. If the previous record is blank, it searches for the next

nonblank field to determine its data type.

STATUS

======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the

Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Paragraph Marks Appear Black Instead of Gray

Article ID: Q125366

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In Microsoft Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, paragraph marks may appear black

instead of light gray.

CAUSE

=====

This behavior occurs when you run Word 6.0 for the Macintosh (the 68K

version of Word) on a Power Macintosh. To find out which version you are

running, choose About Microsoft Word from the Apple menu. Be sure you are

using "Microsoft Word Version 6.0 for the Power Macintosh," not "Microsoft

Word Version 6.0 for the Macintosh."

Note: This behavior occurs only when you run 68K Word on a Power Macintosh;

it does not occur when you run 68K Word on a 68020, 68030, or 68040

machine.

RESOLUTION

==========

To correct this problem, upgrade to Microsoft Word 6.0 for the Power

Macintosh.

To obtain pre-sales information about new or updated Microsoft products,

call the Microsoft Sales Information Center at (800) 426-9400. If you are

outside the United States, contact the Microsoft subsidiary for your area.

To locate your subsidiary, call the Microsoft International Sales

Information Center at (206) 936-8661.

When you order the upgrade, specify whether you have the stand-alone

version of Word 6.0 or Microsoft Office 4.2, as the update disks are

different.

Errors When Querying on Data with Straight Quote/Apostrophe

Article ID: Q125414

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

You may receive one of the following error messages when attempting to

query on a data source where a data record contains an apostrophe:

Word data source or Microsoft Excel spreadsheet

using DDE or converter (Windows and Macintosh)

----------------------------------------------

   Word could not parse your query options into a valid SQL String.

Microsoft Access data source using ODBC (Windows only)

------------------------------------------------------

   Open Database Connectivity Error - 10014 in query expression ".

     (Details button)

     - ODBC Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Access Driver]10014 in query

       expression ".

       Error. Sql State: 37000.

       Return Code: SQL_ERROR

Microsoft Access data source using DDE (Windows only)

-----------------------------------------------------

   Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Microsoft

   Access to complete the current task.

FoxPro data source using ODBC

-----------------------------

   Open Database Connectivity Error - Syntax Error.

     (Details button)

     - ODBC Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Single-Tier Driver]Syntax

       Error.

       Return Code: SQL_ERROR

     - SELECT *FROM <database file> WHERE

       (("<Fieldname>"='O'Neil'<<???>>>))

CAUSE

=====

The Word for Windows SQL query engine does not recognize a "straight"

quotation mark or a "straight" apostrophe (as opposed to smart quotes, or

curly quotation marks) as a valid SQL or query string. The above errors do

not occur when using MS Query.

STATUS

======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

===========

Method 1: Use smart quotes.

          a. If you have not created your Word data source, do the

             following:

             1) Turn on Smart Quotes. From the Tools menu, choose

                AutoCorrect, then choose the "Change 'Straight Quotes' to

                'Smart Quotes'" option.

             2) Type in the data using smart quotes.

             3) Copy the data to the Clipboard.

             4) Start the query.

             5) In the Filter dialog box, paste the Clipboard contents

                into the Compare To box.

          b. If you have an existing data source, use the AutoFormat

             command to replace straight quotes with smart quotes:

             1) Open your data source.

             2) From the Format menu, choose AutoFormat.

             3) Choose the Options button. Under Replace, select the

                "Straight Quotes with Smart Quotes" check box, clear any

                other check boxes, and choose OK.

             4) Choose OK.

             5) Choose the Accept button.

             6) Perform your query.

Method 2: Use MS Query.

          For applications like Fox Pro and Microsoft Access using ODBC,

          you may have the option to use MS Query if you have Microsoft

          Excel 5.0 installed. Choose the option to use MS Query instead of

          Word's internal query engine.

PostScript Code Seems to Be Missing

Article ID: Q125419

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOM

=======

When you convert a document from Word 4.0 or 5.x for the Macintosh to Word

6.0, text that was formatted with the PostScript style seems to be missing.

-or-

When you insert a PostScript command from an AutoText entry, the entry is

not visible and cannot be edited.

CAUSE

=====

Word 6.0 converts this text to a PRINT field. If the option to view field

codes is not selected, you will not see the PostScript text. However, Word

6.0 will print the PostScript code correctly.

RESOLUTION

==========

To make the PostScript-formatted text visible, turn on field codes (in

other words, do not show the field code results):

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2. Select the View tab.

3. Select the Field Codes check box.

4. Choose OK.

All the fields in the document are now visible, including the PRINT fields

that contain the PostScript code.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In Word versions 4.0 and 5.x for the Macintosh, PostScript code could be

typed directly in the document and then formatted with the built-in

PostScript style. The PostScript style is not available in Word 6.0. The

PRINT field is used instead.

Below are instructions on how to create a PRINT field and instructions for

a macro that automates this process.

To create a PostScript PRINT field

----------------------------------

 1. Place the insertion point where you want the PostScript to print.

 2. From the Insert menu, choose Field.

 3. Clear the Preserve Formatting During Updates check box.

 4. In the Categories list, select All.

 5. From the Field Names list, select Print.

 6. Choose the Options button.

 7. In the Field Options dialog box, select "\p page".

 8. Choose the Add To Field button.

 9. Move the insertion point to the end of the text in the Field Codes

    box.

10. Type a space.

11. Type two quotation marks.

12. Choose the OK button.

13. Choose the OK button again.

    You should see the following field code:

       {PRINT \p page ""}

14. Paste the text between the quotation marks in the field.

15. Print the document.

PostScript-to-PRINT-Field Macro

-------------------------------

The following macro will convert a selection into a PRINT field:

What is Word Viewer and How Can I Get It?

Article ID: Q125420

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word Viewer, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

Word Viewer is a freeware program that allows people who do not own

Microsoft Word to view and print documents that were created in Word. Word

Viewer allows you to read and print Word documents, but it does not allow

you to edit them, although you can copy information from the document and

activate OLE objects. People who already own Microsoft Word can now share

their documents with users who do not own Word by giving them the documents

and Word Viewer. Word Viewer can read files created with Word for Windows,

versions 1.0 and later, as well as files created with Word for the

Macintosh, versions 4.0 and later.

Technical support for Word viewer is limited to a technical white paper

that is available via FastTips, on Library 2 in the MSWORD forum on

CompuServe, and on the Microsoft World Wide Web server.

MORE INFORMATION

================

You can obtain Word Viewer from the following sources:

 - Word Viewer is available under the "What's New" heading on the Home Page

   of Microsoft's World Wide Web server. Microsoft's Home Page can be

Word Text Pasted in Other Applications Loses Formatting

Article ID: Q125490

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you copy text from Microsoft Word and paste it into other

applications, the pasted text may lose character and paragraph formatting.

Some of the formatting options that do not carry over to the destination

application include word wrapping in paragraphs, paragraph indents, and

character-level formats such as bold and italic.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs when you paste Word's text into applications that are

not OLE 2.0 compatible. Word copies text to the Clipboard in OLE 2.0

format. Applications that are not OLE 2.0 compatible cannot read all the

formatting that is present on the Clipboard.

STATUS

======

This functionality differs from Word 2.0 and is by design.

WORKAROUND

==========

In the other application's Edit menu, see if "Word 6.0 Document Object" is

available under the Paste Special option. If this option is available, you

can paste the text and include the formatting. If this option is not

available, you can only insert plain text.

Tab Doesn't Line Up with Hanging Paragraph

Article ID: Q125491

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you press the TAB key at the beginning of a hanging paragraph, the

text does not align with the rest of the paragraph. Instead, the tabbed

text moves to the default tab position.

CAUSE

=====

This problem occurs when the setting "Don't add automatic tab stop for

hanging indent" is selected.

RESOLUTION

==========

Use Method 1 if you want to change the appearance of all hanging paragraphs

in the document; use Method 2 if you want to change only one paragraph.

Method 1: Enable the automatic tab stop with the following steps:

          1. From the Tools menu, select Options.

          2. Select the Compatibility tab.

          3. Clear the "Don't add automatic tab stop for hanging indent"

             box.

Method 2: Set the tab manually with the following steps:

          1. Move the insertion point into the paragraph whose tab setting

             you want to change.

          2. From the Format menu, choose Tabs.

          3. Type the Tab Stop Position you want to use.

          4. Choose OK.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When you press the TAB key in a paragraph that has a custom hanging indent,

Word typically moves the tabbed text to the same position as the rest of

the paragraph.

In most cases, a tab in a hanging indent aligns at the same position as the

indent of the second line of the paragraph and matches the setting for the

hanging indent under Format Paragraph.

For example, Word usually aligns a hanging paragraph like this:

1. <Tab>    text text text text text text text text text text text text

            text text text text text text text text text text text text

However, when the "Don't add automatic tab stop for hanging indent" option

is selected, pressing the Tab key after the "1." produces this effect:

1. <Tab>  text text text text text text text text text text text text text

            text text text text text text text text text text text

tips.

======================================================================

                      Frequently Asked Questions

======================================================================

1.  Q. What is Word Viewer?

    A. Word Viewer is a program that allows people who do not own

       Microsoft Word to view and print documents that were created in

       Word. Word Viewer allows you to read and print Word documents,

       but it does not allow you to edit them, although you can copy

       information from the document and activate OLE objects. People

       who already own Microsoft Word can now share their documents

       with users who do not own Word by giving them the documents and

       Word Viewer. Word Viewer can read files created with Word for

       Windows, versions 1.0 and later, as well as files created with

       Word for the Macintosh(R), versions 4.0 and later.

2.  Q. How can I get Word Viewer?

    A. This program is available at no charge on the Microsoft forums

       of major online services (such as CompuServe(R) and GEnie(R))

       the Microsoft FTP server, the Microsoft Download Service

       (MSDL), Microsoft OnLine, and the "What's New" heading on the

       Microsoft Home Page of Microsoft's World Wide Web server. You

       can also order Word Viewer through the Microsoft Sales

       Information Center at (800) 426-9400 (in the United States) or

       (800) 563-9048 (in Canada) for a nominal shipping and handling

       fee. You are encouraged to copy and distribute Word Viewer to

       your friends and co-workers as well as to upload it to public

       electronic bulletin board services.

3.  Q. How do I obtain technical support for Word Viewer?

    A. While Microsoft Word is a retail software package that includes

       direct technical support from Microsoft, Word Viewer is

       freeware, and therefore technical support is limited to the

       contents of this technical white paper. This technical paper is

       available via FastTips, on Library 2 in the MSWORD forum on

       CompuServe, and on the Microsoft World Wide Web server.

4.  Q. Can I edit documents with Word Viewer?

    A. No. However, you can copy information from the document, as

       well as activate any OLE objects in it, while using Word

       Viewer. You can edit these objects in their server applications

       and save the objects to a separate file. For example, if you

       are viewing a document that contains a Microsoft Excel

       spreadsheet, you can double-click the spreadsheet, edit it in

       Microsoft Excel, and save the file under a new name. You can

       then close the Microsoft Excel object and return to Word

       Viewer. Note, however, that none of the changes you've made to

       the Microsoft Excel object will be saved by Word Viewer within

       the Word document.

5.  Q. Can I copy information from a document opened in Word

       Viewer?

    A. Yes. You can open a document in Word Viewer, copy information

       in that document to the Clipboard, and paste that information

       into another application. However, you cannot paste information

       from the Clipboard into Word Viewer.

6.  Q. Will Word Viewer automatically open my Word documents when

       I click on them in File Manager?

    A. When you install Word Viewer, its Setup program checks the

       Windows registration file to see if there are any applications

       associated with .DOC files. If there are no associations, Word

       Viewer Setup registers Word Viewer as the application

       associated with .DOC files so that when you double-click on a

       .DOC file in Mail or File Manager, Word Viewer will launch, and

       the document will be loaded automatically.

7.  Q. Will there be a Macintosh or Windows NT(TM) version of

       Word Viewer?

    A. Currently there is neither a Macintosh nor a Windows NT version

       of Word Viewer. However, the 16-bit Windows-based Word Viewer

       can be installed and will run on a Windows NT machine running

       on an Intel(R) 80386 or higher processor.

8.  Q. Can I set up and run Word Viewer under IBM(R) OS/2(R) and

       WARP operating systems?

    A. IBM's OS/2 and WARP operating systems are unsupported system

       configurations for Word Viewer.

9.  Q. Can I set up and use Word Viewer on a MIPS(R) or an Alpha

       computer running Windows NT?

    A. Word Viewer can run on a MIPS or an Alpha computer running

       Windows NT; however, you must first run Word Viewer Setup on an

       Intel 80386 or higher machine running Windows, then manually

       copy the files to the MIPS or Alpha machine. The table below

       shows the locations of the Word Viewer files after setup, where

       <Windows> indicates your Windows directory (usually, C:\WINDOWS

       for Windows and C:\WINNT for Windows NT). You should copy these

       files to the appropriate directories under Windows NT on a MIPS

       or an Alpha machine.

INFORMATION ON USING MICROSOFT WORD VIEWER

==========================================

Microsoft Internet Assistant

----------------------------

Internet Assistant cannot currently be used with Word Viewer to browse

hyperlinked documents. Internet Assistant requires the full retail

version of Word to operate. Word Viewer can be registered as an

external viewer for most World Wide Web browsers, however. For

instructions on how to do this, please see the documentation for your

Web browser.

Context Menus

-------------

Context, or right-click, menus are not available in Word Viewer.

Fields

------

Fields cannot be updated in Word Viewer. The latest result of the

field is displayed.

Templates and Macros

--------------------

Templates and macros are not supported in Word Viewer.

Loading Documents from File Manager

-----------------------------------

Each time you double-click on a document in Windows File Manager, a

separate instance of Word Viewer will be launched. To avoid this

redundancy, drag and drop the files you want to open from File Manager

onto the Word Viewer icon or title bar.

Annotations

-----------

To view annotations present in a document, choose Annotations from the

View menu. If this menu item is unavailable (dimmed), no annotations

are present in the document. To close the annotation pane, choose View

Annotations again.

Full Screen

-----------

To remove all screen elements such as menus and scroll bars, choose

Full Screen from the View menu. To restore your menus, click the

button on the Full toolbar or press the ESC key.

Displaying Pictures

-------------------

   Word for the Macintosh Pictures

   ===============================

   Display of pictures contained in Word for the Macintosh documents

   is currently not supported. You will instead see a blank box or a

   box with an "X" through it where the picture would normally

   display. When running the Word Viewer under Windows NT, you may

   also receive an error message stating, "There is not enough memory

   to display or print the picture."

   Linked Pictures

   ===============

   Word Viewer cannot display linked pictures that use the \D switch.

   Where the Word document contains a linked picture, Word Viewer will

   instead display an error message stating that "Word Viewer cannot

   open the graphics file" and will display a blank box where the

   picture would normally be.

Printer and Video Driver Problems

---------------------------------

If you encounter any problems while printing or displaying Word

documents with Word Viewer, you may need to reinstall or update your

printer or video driver. Like Word, Word Viewer is much more dependent

on printer and video drivers than most applications; therefore, you

may encounter printing and displaying problem in Word Viewer that you

are not experiencing in another applications. Fortunately, updates for

common video and printer drivers are generally available either from

your printer or video display card manufacturer, or through the

Microsoft Download Service (MSDL), which you can reach by calling

(206) 936-6735. For more information about using the MSDL, call (800)

936-4100 and follow the prompts.

   Video Drivers

   =============

   Often you can determine whether your current video driver is

   causing a problem with Word Viewer by switching your video driver

   to the standard Windows VGA driver, which you can do through the

   Windows Setup program located in the Main program group in Program

   Manager. Below is a list of known problems with specific video

   drivers:

   Dell(R) S3 Video Driver

   -----------------------

   With the Dell S3 video driver version 1.3a or earlier, you may

   encounter general protection (GP) faults when working with page,

   column, or section breaks in page layout view. Versions 1.32 and

   later do not have these problems. For information on obtaining the

   driver upgrade, contact Dell customer support at (800) 624-9896 or

   connect to the Dell Bulletin Board Service at (512) 728-8528.

   ATI Display Driver

   ------------------

   Older versions of the ATI display driver may produce screen

   "garbage" (corruption) when you close a dialog box, select text, or

   type in the first line of a document. If you have an ATI card with

   the Mach 32 chipset, you can use ATI driver version 2.1 to resolve

   these problems. If you have an ATI card with the Mach 8 chipset,

   use ATI driver version 2.2 or later. For information on obtaining

   the latest ATI video drivers, call ATI Technical Support at (905)

   882-2626 or connect to the ATI Bulletin Board Service at (905) 764-

   9404.

   Printer Drivers

   ===============

   If you encounter any troubles printing with Word Viewer, you should

   consider updating your printer driver to the latest version.

   Upgrading your printer driver can be beneficial in general as well.

   Below is a list of many of the common printers and the printer

   driver versions that have been known to work properly:

Cannot Open Document

--------------------

If you are having trouble opening complex or multiple documents and

you are running SHARE.EXE, you may need to increase the /L and /F

parameters in the SHARE line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that the

line looks something like this:

   c:\dos\SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F:5100

Activating OLE Objects

----------------------

Word Viewer allows you to activate any embedded OLE objects present in

your Word documents provided that the corresponding server is present

on your machine. Any changes made in the object are discarded when the

OLE server is closed, however.

Word Viewer Filenames and Locations

-----------------------------------

To remove Word Viewer, delete the directory you installed Word Viewer

into. (Do not delete the first four files on the following list. They

are shared with other applications.)

<Windows> indicates your Windows directory (usually, C:\WINDOWS for

Windows and C:\WINNT for Windows NT).

   Filename         File Size         Location

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   COMPOBJ.DLL      102,400           <Windows>\SYSTEM

                   Troubleshooting Printing Problems

======================================================================

1.  Q. Why doesn't background printing work when I print from

       Word Viewer to my Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskJet printer?

    A. Word Viewer turns off the Background Printing option and makes

       the option unavailable when you use certain versions of the HP

       printer drivers for the HP DeskJet printer. (To locate this

       option, choose Options from the View menu, and select the Print

       tab.) Word Viewer does this for the following HP printer

       drivers because they sometimes fail to print small portions of

       text when the Background Printing option is turned on:

        - DJ500C.DRV versions 2.x for the DeskJet printer series

        - DESKJETC.DRV version 3.1 for the DeskJet printer series

       With Background Printing turned off in Word Viewer, these

       printer drivers print reliably and lose no text.

2.  Q. Why doesn't my graphic print in Word Viewer?

    A. Graphics may not print for a variety of reasons, including the

       following:

       1. You may have an old or incompatible version of your printer

          driver. You should always print using the latest version of

          the Windows driver for your printer. To determine your

          printer driver version, do the following:

          a. From the File menu, choose Print.

          b. Choose the Printer button, then choose the Options

             button.

          c. Choose the About button. The version of your printer

             driver should appear in the About dialog box. If there is

             no About button in the Options dialog box, look for a

             version number in the Options dialog box, near the OK

             button.

       2. The Draft Output check box may be selected in the Print

          Options dialog box. To print graphics, clear this check box

          by doing the following:

          a. From the View menu, choose Options.

          b. Select the Print tab.

          c. Clear the Draft Output check box and then choose OK.

       3. The Drawing Objects check box may not be selected in the

          Print Options dialog box. To print drawing objects you

          created in Word, select this option using the following

          steps:

          a. From the File menu, choose Print.

          b. Choose the Options button.

          c. Select the Drawing Objects option and then choose OK.

       4. If your graphic is an encapsulated PostScript(R) (EPS) file,

          you must print it to a PostScript printer. If you do not

          have a PostScript printer, you cannot print an EPS graphic.

          If you have a PostScript printer, use the following steps to

          make sure you are using the PostScript printer driver:

          a. From the File menu, choose Print.

          b. Choose the Printer button.

          c. Select your PostScript printer in the Printers list and

             then choose the Set As Default Printer button.

              NOTE: If your PostScript printer does not appear in the

              Printers list, you must install the printer driver using

              the Printers icon in the Windows Control Panel window.

3.  Q. How can I increase the printing speed of Word Viewer?

    A. Here are four things you can do to increase the printing speed

       of Word Viewer:

       1. Make sure there is a SET TEMP statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT

          file and that it points to a valid directory with at least 2

          megabytes (MB) of free disk space.

       2. In Windows Print Manager, choose the High Priority setting

          to allocate more computer processor time to Print Manager.

          Your documents print faster, but you must wait longer for

          the hourglass to disappear in Word when you print.

       3. Make more conventional memory available by doing either or

          both of the following:

          a. Remove unnecessary device drivers and memory-resident

             software, such as screen savers and virus-detection

             software, from your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.

          b. Maximize both the Word application and all document

             windows.

       4. From the View menu, choose Options, select the Print tab,

          and clear the Background Printing check box. When this

          option is not selected, your documents print faster, but you

          must wait longer for the hourglass to disappear in Word when

          you print.

4.  Q. I am using a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet IIP with Word

       Viewer and my envelope does not print or it prints incorrectly.

       What can I do?

    A. If you are running under Windows version 3.1, choose Print from

       the File menu, and make sure the printer selected is the IIP,

       not the Series II. If the Series II is selected, the envelope

       address prints in the wrong position. To change to a different

       printer, choose Print from the File menu. Choose the Printer

       button. Select the IIP printer, and choose the Set As Default

       button. Choose OK. Choose Close. Choose OK.

5.  Q. How do I change to a different printer in Word Viewer?

    A. When you switch to a different printer in Word Viewer, you also

       change the default printer setting for Windows. Use the

       following steps to switch to a different printer in Word

       Viewer:

       1. From the File menu, chose Print.

       2. Choose the Printers button.

       3. Select the printer you want to use and then choose the Set

          As Default Printer button.

          NOTE: If your printer does not appear in the Printers list,

          you must install its printer driver using the Printers icon

          in the Windows Control Panel window.

6.  Q. How do I get my document to print from a different tray on

       my printer?

    A. Use the following steps to switch to a different paper tray:

       1. From the File menu, choose Page Setup.

       2. Select the Paper Source tab.

       3. Select the printer bin you want to use in the First Page and

          Other Pages boxes, then choose OK.

7.  Q. When I try to print, nothing happens. What should I do?

    A. Here are steps to take to find the source of the problem:

       1. Check the status of your print job in Windows Print Manager.

          If the print job is stalled, choose the Resume button.

       2. Try printing a file supplied with Word Viewer, such as

          README.DOC. If that file prints, the problem may be related

          to the document.

       3. If you are printing over a network, make sure your network

          connection is intact. Check with your network administrator

          for assistance.

       4. Rename the WRDVIEW6.OPT file.

          The WRDVIEW6.OPT file primarily stores settings that can be

          found in View Options. However, the WRDVIEW6.OPT also caches

          some other information about your fonts, printer, and

          display. Use File Manager to change this file's name to

          WRDVIEW6.OLD. When you rename the WRDVIEW6.OPT file, Word

          Viewer will launch with its default settings, and will

          create a new "clean" WRDVIEW6.OPT file the next time you

          exit from Word Viewer.

       5. Check to see if the problem exists in other applications.

          Try printing sample text in other Windows applications such

          as Write or Notepad. If the printing problem appears in the

          other applications, then Word Viewer is not the source of

          the problem. If the problem exists only in Word Viewer, it

          is still possible that it is a Windows issue, and not a Word-

          Viewer-specific issue.

       6. Check the printer connection.

          If the printer is connected directly to your computer, try

          disconnecting and reconnecting the printer cable, or try

          another cable. A bad connection or cable may be at fault. If

          the printer is on a network, see if you can print

          successfully with a printer connected directly to your

          computer. If this works, the network is causing the printing

          problem and you need to contact your network administrator.

       7. Try a different printer driver.

          Be sure you are using the most recent version of the printer

          driver available from the manufacturer. If none is

          available, select a similar printer driver, or change the

          printer's emulation and choose the matching printer driver.

       8. Try a different video driver.

          Common symptoms of an outdated video driver include missing

          text or truncated text (the top half is printed, but the

          bottom half is not). Use the most recent version of the

          video driver. If a recent version is unavailable, switch to

          the standard Windows VGA driver using the Windows Setup

          program located in Program Manager.

       9. Be sure you're using a supported printing configuration.

          Switch boxes and third-party networks are not supported

          configurations. Connect the printer directly to the

          computer, and see if Word Viewer can print.

      10. Match the printer driver memory setting to the printer's

          actual memory.

          If the printer driver memory setting is higher than the

          amount of memory actually available on the printer, you may

          encounter various printing problems such as dropped text and

          missing graphics. If you are unsure of the amount of memory

          on your printer, set the printer driver memory setting to

          the default.

8.  Q. How can I get table gridlines to print?

    A. If the original document does not contain table cell borders,

       you will not be able to print the table gridlines.

======================================================================

                   Troubleshooting Display Problems

======================================================================

Any of the following screen display problems in Word Viewer may occur

because of problems with the video driver supplied with your video

card:

1. Screen distortion, or "garbage" (such as "snow" or "remnants") may

   appear when you type or scroll in Word Viewer with certain video

   display drivers, such as the ATI Ultra. When Word Viewer redraws

   the screen, the distortion disappears, but it recurs the next time

   you type or scroll.

2. The hot spots on the status bar appear to do nothing when you

   double-click them, even though they are actually functioning

   normally.

3. The text and messages on the status bar may be hard to read or may

   not display at all. For example, when you press the INS key to turn

   on overtype mode in Word Viewer, "OVR" does not appear on the

   status bar to indicate that you are in this mode.

If you are experiencing any of the problems described above, contact

the manufacturer of your video card and request a new driver. If no

new video driver is available, you can use the standard VGA video

driver supplied with Windows instead. Change to the standard VGA

driver by using the Windows Setup program located in the Main program

group in Program Manager.

In Word 6.0 You Can't Insert Symbols by Typing ASCII Value

Article ID: Q125637

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

In Word for the Macintosh version 6.0, you cannot insert a symbol by typing

the symbol's ASCII code on the keyboard. This is a feature of Word 5.0 and

5.1.

In Word 6.0, you can insert symbols by choosing Symbol from the Insert

menu.

Note that commonly used symbols, such as the em dash and the copyright

symbol, are already assigned to keystrokes. To see the list of preassigned

symbol keystrokes, choose Symbol from the Insert menu and select the

Special Characters tab.

MORE INFORMATION

================

There are three ways to insert symbols with keystrokes: (1) create an

individual keystroke for each symbol, (2) create a macro that asks for the

ASCII number, or (3) create an AutoText entry for each symbol.

Method 1. Set up individual keystrokes for ASCII characters so that each

          symbol has a unique keystroke. To assign keystrokes to individual

          symbols:

          a. From the Insert menu, choose Symbol.

          b. From the Font list, select the font you want to use.

          c. Select the symbol you want to insert.

          d. Choose the Shortcut Key button.

          e. In the Press New Shortcut Key box, press the keystroke that

             you want to assign to the symbol.

             If the Currently Assigned To area indicates that the keystroke

             is already in use by another function, erase the contents of

             the Press New Shortcut Key box and type a new keystroke.

          f. Choose the Assign button.

          g. Repeat steps b through f for each symbol you want to

             assign to a keystroke.

          h. When finished, choose OK.

Method 2: Create a macro that asks for the ASCII number:

               Sub MAIN

               num = Val(InputBox$("Type a 3-digit ASCII number."))

               Insert Chr$(num)

               End Sub

          NOTE: Before running the macro, be sure to choose the appropriate

          font from the Font menu for the character you want to insert.

          Each font may have a different symbol for the ASCII character you

          are using.

          This macro gives the ASCII code for a selected character (useful

          if you have the symbol in a document and want to know its ASCII

          value):

               Sub MAIN

               A$ = Selection$()

               Print Asc (A$)

               End Sub

          The ASCII value appears on the status bar.

          WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS

          AT YOUR OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is"

          without warranty of any kind, either express or implied,

          including but not limited to the implied warranties of

          merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Method 3. Make each symbol an AutoText entry. To create an AutoText entry,

          use the following steps:

          a. From the Insert menu, choose Symbol.

          b. From the Font list, select the font you want to use.

          c. Select the symbol you want to insert.

          d. Choose the Insert button.

          e. Choose the Close button.

          f. Select the symbol (which is now in the document).

          g. From the Edit menu, choose AutoText.

          h. In the Name box, type a descriptive name.

          i. Choose the Add button.

          j. Repeat steps a through i for each symbol.

          To insert the symbol, type the descriptive name in the document

          and choose the Insert AutoText button.

MORE INFORMATION

================

In Word 5.0 and 5.1 for the Macintosh, you can enter a symbol using the

keyboard with the following steps:

1. Remove the SYMBOL command from the Word Commands folder.

2. Place the insertion point in  the text where you want the character.

3. Press COMMAND+OPTION+Q.

4. Type the ASCII code for the symbol and press ENTER.

Ampersand Displays Incorrectly in Drop-Down Form Field

Article ID: Q125892

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you are creating a drop-down form field, and one of your list items

includes an ampersand (&), the resulting item in the drop-down list will be

missing the ampersand, and the character adjacent to the ampersand will be

underlined. For example, "AT&T" (without the quotation marks) will display

in the drop-down list as:

   ATT

     -

If you try to work around the problem by adding a second ampersand, the

drop-down list will correctly display "AT&T" (without the quotation marks),

but when you select "AT&T," it displays in the form field box as "AT&&T"

(without the quotation marks).

CAUSE

=====

By design, the ampersand is used to designate the shortcut key in drop-down

lists for quick keyboard access. The shortcut key displays with an

underline.

Cannot Apply Small Caps or All Caps to Paragraph Numbers

Article ID: Q125894

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you apply Small Caps or All Caps formatting to a paragraph that has

automatic numbers, the numbering doesn't change format. The selected text

shows the new formatting, but the automatic numbers do not.

CAUSE

=====

Formatting of the automatic numbering is controlled by the Bullets And

Numbering dialog box. This formatting overrides any formatting you apply

directly to the paragraph.

Through the Bullets and Numbering dialog box, you can apply several

character formats. However, Small Caps and All Caps cannot be applied to

the automatic numbers.

Unusual or Unexpected Line Spacing Between Paragraphs

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a and 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Case 1: You have large spaces between paragraphs, so that the first line of

        text appears at the top of the page, and the last line of text is

        at the bottom of the page.

Case 2: You have a large white space at the top of the page, and the text

        adjusts itself on the page beginning at the center of the page.

CAUSE

=====

Case 1: Your vertical alignment is set to Justified. By design, Word will

        evenly place the text between the top and bottom margins of the

        page. In other words, for any given page, the first line of text

        will appear at the top margin, the last line of text will appear at

        the bottom margin.

Case 2: Your vertical alignment is set to Centered. By design, Word will

        center the text between the top and bottom margins. In other words,

        a single line of text will appear in the center of the page. As you

        add additional lines of text, all text will be centered between the

        top and bottom margins.

RESOLUTION

==========

Remove the Justified or Centered vertical alignment. To do this:

1. From the File menu, choose Page Setup.

2. Select the Layout tab.

3. In the Vertical Alignment list, select Top.

4. In the Apply To list, select Whole document.

5. Choose the OK button.

Macro to Determine If the Current Document Is Read-Only

Article ID: Q126023

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

When you are writing a macro, you may need to know if the current document

is open as a read-only document. This article includes a sample macro that

you can use to determine whether the current document is read-only.

MORE INFORMATION

================

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Sub Main

If InStr(WindowName$(), "(Read-Only)") <> 0 Or InStr(WindowName$(), \

 "(Copy)") <> 0 Then

MsgBox "File is read-only"

End If

End Sub

If the current document was opened on a read-only basis, the WindowsName$()

function will include the text "(Read-Only)" or "(Copy)." A document is

opened on a read-only basis if the read-only file attribute is set or if

another user has already opened the file with read-write privileges. A file

can also be saved with the Read-Only Recommended option set, giving the

user the option of opening the file on a read-only basis or not.

The DlgFocus Statement Does Not Change the Focus

Article ID: Q126024

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The Microsoft WordBasic DlgFocus statement is used within a dialog function

to set the focus on the dialog box control. However, the DlgFocus statement

does not change the focus in a Word 6.0 for the Macintosh dialog box.

MORE INFORMATION

================

When a dialog box control has the focus, it is active and responds to

keyboard input. For example, if a text box has the focus, any text you type

appears in that text box. Push buttons with the focus appear to have a

darker ring around them. The DlgFocus statement does not return a WordBasic

error when used in a Macintosh Word macro, but the focus is not set to the

desired control.

In the following example, the DlgFocus statement in Case 1 of the dialog

function has no effect. If this macro is run in Word 6.0 for Windows, the

focus is correctly set to the "MyControl1" control.

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN

RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any

kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied

warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Sub Main

Cannot Sort By Field 2, Field 3, ... in Outline View

Article ID: Q126041

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

In outline view, the Sort By dialog box shows only two options to sort by:

Paragraph and Field 1. In normal view, a full list of fields to sort by is

available.

This happens only in outline view when the text to be sorted consists of

both delimited and non-delimited paragraphs.

STATUS

======

This behavior is by design.

RESOLUTION

==========

Switch to normal view before sorting text.

Reset Switch in Caption Doesn't Work with Chapter Numbers

Article ID: Q126081

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

When you insert a caption in a document that includes chapter numbering in

the caption numbers, captions whose \r switch you modified are reset to 1.

CAUSE

=====

When you select the Include Chapter Numbers option, Word replaces the

existing captions with new ones, overwriting any changes you have made to

the captions' SEQ fields.

This behavior does not occur when the caption does not include the chapter

number. In that case, Word does not automatically put the \r switch in the

first SEQ field for that caption type, nor does it reset the field when any

other captions of that type are inserted.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

Change the restart information only after all the captions have been

inserted.

Errors Starting Word After Upgrade Due to Virus Protection

Article ID: Q126085

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

After you upgrade Word, you may encounter error messages if you use a virus

protection program (such as MS-DOS VSafe) that creates checksum files on

your computer's hard disk. You may be unable to start Word.

CAUSE

=====

The VSafe virus protection program that ships with MS-DOS 6.x creates

checksum files in each subdirectory on your computer's hard disk for all

files that it checks in that directory. If you turned off VSafe to upgrade

Word as recommended by the Setup program, and then re-enabled VSafe after

installing Word, when you try to run Word, VSafe compares the WINWORD.EXE

file's checksum to the checksum stored in the CHKLST.MS file it created in

your Word directory earlier. When these checksums don't match, VSafe treats

this as a signal of a possible virus, and won't let Word start.

RESOLUTION

==========

If you use VSafe or other virus protection, after upgrading Word you should

either re-scan your drive and instruct the virus checker to create new

checksums, or delete the checksum file in the Word directory.

For more information on creating new checksums or deleting the VSafe

checksum files, please see the following article(s) in the Microsoft

Knowledge Base:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

 - Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

=======

The Merge button in the Mail Merge Helper dialog box may be unavailable

(dimmed), even when the main document and the data source are set up

correctly.

When you open a new data source in the Mail Merge Helper, the information

displays correctly and the Merge button on the Mail Merge toolbar works as

expected. However, the Merge button in the Mail Merge Helper is

unavailable.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

==========

This problem may occur when you re-attach the same or different data source

to the document two or more times after it is first set up. To correct the

problem, change the Document Type with the following steps:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Mail Merge.

2. From Mail Merge Helper, Choose Create.

3. Select Form Letters.

4. Choose Change Document Type.

The Merge button on the Mail Merge Helper is now available. Save the

document again now that the correct data source is attached.

Word Under Windows NT Prints to Wrong Printer

Article ID: Q126247

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

Word version 6.0 for Windows running under Windows NT may print to the

wrong printer or use the wrong settings after you choose a different

printer or different printer options.

For example, if you choose Print from the File menu, choose the Printer

button, and then select a completely different printer, Word ignores your

changes and uses the previously selected printer. Similarly, if you choose

different options for the current printer, such as Duplex or a different

tray, Word prints as if you had not made any changes.

However, the next time you print, Word will use the changes you made and

will print correctly.

This problem does not occur with Microsoft Word for Windows NT.

STATUS

======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in

the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

==========

Method 1: Make the changes you want, and choose the Use As Default button.

Method 2: Print the document a second time. Word will use the printer

          information you selected most recently.

MORE INFORMATION

================

Q117771    Section Formatting Not Read from Word Settings (5)

When you open the Word Settings (5) file in Word 6.0, default settings

made in Word 5.x's Section dialog are not merged.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q118454    OPTION+TAB Does Not Insert Tab in "Labels and Envelopes"

Word for the Macintosh does not insert a tab character in any of the

following dialog boxes when you press OPTION+TAB:

 - The Create Label dialog box when you use the Mail Merge command to

   create mailing labels.

 - The Tools Envelopes And Labels dialog box, under either the Envelopes

   or Labels tab.

By contrast, Word inserts a tab character as expected when you press

OPTION+TAB in a table.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q118632    Cannot Sort Single-Column Framed Table

Word for the Macintosh does not sort items in a single-column, framed

table if only the frame is selected. By contrast, Word correctly sorts

the items in a framed table that contains two or more columns.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q118776    Customized User Options Location Is Ignored

Word ignores the file location you specify for User Options. (To locate

this item, from the Tools menu, choose Options, then choose the File

Locations tab.)

In addition, you cannot modify the file location by running the

ToolsAdvancedSettings command to override the Word Settings (6) file

location. (To locate this command, choose Macro from the Tools menu.

From the Macros Available In list, select Word Commands.

ToolsAdvancedSettings will appear in the Macro Names list.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q118833    Smart Cut/Paste of Field Code Doesn't Insert Space

If you cut or copy and then paste a field code immediately before or

after text, Word will not insert an extra space, even when Smart Cut And

Paste is activated.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q118836    Invalid Field Name Can Be Added to Word Data Source

When you choose the Manage Fields button on the Database toolbar when

you set up a mail merge data file, Word allows you to enter invalid

field names. These invalid field names are converted to valid field

names. Conversely, Word does not allow you to add invalid field names

when you use the Create Data Source dialog box.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q118844    Ampersand in Filename Not Included When Filename Added to

           Menu

When you add a filename that contains an ampersand to a menu in Word

6.0, the ampersand does not appear. For example, a file named

"Jack&Jill" will appear as "JackJill" on the menu.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q118900    Space Added Before Number After Pasting to Text

When you paste a numbered list as unformatted text (using the Paste

Special command on the Edit menu), a space appears before numbers

greater than 1, but the space does not appear before the first item, as

in the following example:

1. Apples

 2. Oranges

 3. Bananas

 4. Grapes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q119027    Word Saves Normal Document Template in Word Program Folder

Word for the Macintosh may save your Normal Document Template on the

desktop instead of in your Templates folder. This problem occurs if you

move the Word application program to the desktop or to a different

folder from the folder where Word Setup installed it and if you specify

no User Templates setting (to locate this setting, choose Options from

the Tools menu, choose the File Locations tab). When you do this, Word

cannot find your existing Normal Document Template and creates a new one

in the folder where you moved your Word application program.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q119031    Balloon Help Flashes with Mouse Pointer over Toolbar Buttons

In Word for the Macintosh, when Apple System 7 Balloon Help is

activated, the Balloon Help may flash or blink repeatedly until you move

the mouse pointer to another location.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q119078    Scroll Box Still Moves, Even with Screen Updating Disabled

If you turn off screen updating in your Word for the Macintosh macro

using the WordBasic ScreenUpdating statement, the scroll box may still

move along the scroll bar. In other words, the ScreenUpdating statement

does not prevent display changes on the scroll bar.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q119288    In MacWord 6.0, Name Not Selected in Edit AutoText Dialog Box

In Word for the Macintosh, when you select some text and then choose

AutoText from the Edit menu, the text appears in the Name box, but it is

not selected.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q119300    Clicking in Text Box Doesn't Activate Custom Mark (Footnote)

When you choose Footnote from the Insert menu, clicking in the Custom

Mark text box does not activate this option.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q119463    Symbol Character Pastes as Different Character in

           Find/Replace

When you paste a symbol character into the Find or Replace dialog box,

the symbol may appear as a different character from the one you copied.

This behavior occurs when you paste symbols that were created by

choosing Symbol from the Insert menu. If you preview the Clipboard's

contents or paste the symbol to another document, it appears correctly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q120101    Cannot Remove or Delete Font After Running MacWord Setup

After you run Setup to install Word for the Macintosh, the System may be

unable to delete or remove the fonts you installed. If you try to delete

a font, the following error message may occur:

   An unexpected error of type -39 occurred.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q120102    Portions of Help Window Appear on Screen in MacWord Document

If Word for the Macintosh online Help is running on top of the other

windows on your desktop, portions of the Help window may appear as

"garbage" in your Word document window. This usually happens after you

close the File Open or File Save As dialog boxes in Word.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q120107    Word Unexpectedly Quits While Modifying AutoCorrect Entry

When you add or modify an AutoCorrect entry, Word for the Macintosh

unexpectedly quits (in other words, the application closes).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q120232    Word Unexpectedly Quits While Modifying Font Name

When you modify a font name, Word for the Macintosh unexpectedly quits

(that is, the application closes) or hangs (stop responding).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q120234    Tall Adjusted and 50-Percent Reduction Not Available in Word

When you use the ImageWriter driver, the Tall Adjusted and 50% Reduction

options are not available (are dimmed) in the Special Effects section of

the Page Setup dialog box.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q120235    Changing to Landscape Orientation Causes Short Pause

In Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, changing to landscape orientation in the

Page Setup dialog box may cause a short pause to occur before you get

control back (that is, get a blinking cursor).

This pause can also occur when you open a document that has a section in

landscape orientation. Also, the pause can become longer and is directly

proportional to the number of fonts you have installed on your machine.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q120352    Word Doesn't Print in Best Quality from ImageWriter

When you print in Best Quality from an Apple ImageWriter from Word 6.0

for the Macintosh, the resulting output will actually be that of the

Faster mode.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q120786    Insertion Point Positions Left of Inserted Fields

When you insert one of the following fields into your Word document, the

insertion point will be incorrectly positioned to the left of the field:

   =          IF             MERGEFIELD     SET

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q120879    Help for Fields Incorrectly Displays Word Help Contents

When you use the Help key (F1) to access context-sensitive help for the

following inserted fields, the Word Help Contents screen is displayed

instead of the context help screen:

   PRIVATE        TC

   RD             XE

   TA

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q121239    Edit Replace Menu Is Missing Hot-Key Accelerator Underlines

When you choose Replace from the Edit menu in Microsoft Word for the

Macintosh and try to use the hot-key underline accelerators, some of

these designators are missing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q121699    MS Excel Worksheet Data Source Saves as MacWord Document

If you use a Microsoft Excel worksheet as a mail merge data source, Word

saves the worksheet in Word document format if you choose Yes when Word

prompts you to save the data source. In other words, Word overwrites the

Microsoft Excel worksheet with a Word document if you choose Yes in

response to the following message:

   <Document Name> is a mail merge main document that is attached

   to a data source <Worksheet Name> that has not been saved. Do

   you want to save <Worksheet Name>?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q121700    Word Hangs Inserting Caption with Revision Marking Turned On

An hourglass pointer may appear and persist, and Word may appear to hang

(stop responding) when you insert a caption if revision marks are turned

on. (To insert a caption, choose Caption from the Insert menu. To turn

on revision marks, choose Revisions from the Tools menu and select the

Mark Revisions While Editing check box.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q121702   Converting MacWord 5.1 Settings File Resets SHIFT+RETURN

If you use the instructions in the "Settings Files from Word for the

Macintosh" section on page 219 of "Microsoft Word User's Guide" (Word

for the Macintosh edition, part number WB60460-0794) to convert your

Word 5.1 settings file, Word for the Macintosh incorrectly reassigns the

SHIFT+RETURN. When you press SHIFT+RETURN after merging your Word 5.1

settings file, Word inserts a page break instead of a line break. In

other words, Word assigns SHIFT+ENTER functionality to the SHIFT+RETURN

key combination.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q121711    Envelopes Print Incorrectly to Some LaserWriters

Envelopes may print incorrectly to a LaserWriter Select 300. The line

spacing of the return and destination addresses text may be incorrect;

text may be truncated or overlap. The Manual Feed option does not work

correctly, which causes a regular sheet of paper to be printed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q121795    Section Layout Formatting Not Applied Properly

In Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, Continuous section breaks can sometimes

become formatted as New Page section breaks. This problem occurs if your

cursor is in a section that is formatted as Continuous and you click OK

to close the Layout tab of the Document Layout dialog box.

In addition, you may be unable to change the Section Start properties

from New Page to a Continuous Section Start on the Layout tab of the

Document Layout dialog box.

Another related problem occurs when you apply a different Section Start

property to a particular section--this formatting may also be applied to

the section directly following the intended section.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q121844    Scrolling is Slow in Some Word for the Macintosh Documents

In Word for the Macintosh, it sometimes takes a long time to scroll

through a document. By comparison to Word 5.1a for the Macintosh, it may

take up to twice as long to scroll through a document.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q122238    Printer Won't Pull Envelope from Envelope Feeder w/Word

With Word 6.0 for the Macintosh, you cannot print envelopes directly

from the Envelope dialog box to the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJets (4M,

4M+, 4Si MX, 4MV, and IIISi) or the LaserWriter Pro 600 or 630 optional

envelope feeder. (To locate the Envelope dialog box, choose Envelopes

And Labels from the Tools menu, and select the Envelopes tab.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q122372    Cannot Paste Framed Graphic from Word into Another Application

Sometimes you cannot paste a graphic you copied from Microsoft Word into

another application (such as Microsoft Excel).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q122379    Error Saving Document: "Network Or File Permission Error..."

When you are working over a network and you save a document in Word, the

following error message is displayed:

   There has been a network or file permission error.

   The network connection may be lost. <FILENAME.DOC>

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q122501    Word Hangs When Launched with Corrupt Fonts

When starting Microsoft Word, you receive a System Error or a Type 1

error and your machine may hang (stop responding).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q122506    Incomplete Top Paragraph Border Below Indented Paragraph

When you apply a box border to two or more paragraphs where the first

paragraph has a left and right indent and the second paragraph has no

indent, the top border over the second paragraph does not display or

print correctly. The indented paragraph has a box border around it.

Multiple paragraphs with the same indentation do not exhibit this

behavior.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q122548    "Cannot Print" Error If LaserWriter 8 Preferences File

If your LaserWriter 8 Preferences file is deleted or missing when you

choose Print from the File menu in Word for the Macintosh, the following

error message occurs:

   Word cannot print. Please select a printer from the Chooser.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q122560    Numeric Keypad Not Working After Merging Word Settings (5)

After you merged the Word Settings (5) file into the Normal template in

Word 6.0, only the 5 key on the numeric keypad works.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q122567    Default Font Not Shown in the Envelopes And Labels Dialog Box

When the default font is something other than Times New Roman, the text

in the Envelopes And Labels dialog box under the Labels tab still

displays in Times New Roman.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q122684    MacWord 6.0: Form Field Help Text Disappears After Choosing

           OK

In the Form Field Help Text dialog box, under either the Status Bar or

the Help Key tab, Word for the Macintosh does not automatically select

the Type Your Own option when you type something in the Type Your Own

box. The None option remains selected. As a result, any Help text you

type is lost if you choose OK unless you manually select the Type Your

Own option.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q122685    MacWord Graphic Frames Shorter When Displayed in WinWord

If you convert a Word for the Macintosh document that contains a graphic

to Word for Windows format, the graphic image may appear slightly

shorter in Word for Windows, both on the screen and when you print it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q122697    Can't Type in Document After Running Find or Replace Command

If you run the Find or Replace commands from the Edit menu and then

close the Edit Find or Edit Replace dialog box, you may be unable to

type in your Word for the Macintosh document. To reactivate the document

window so you can type in it, you must click the mouse in the document

window.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q122698    Reverse Print Order Doesn't Work with HP DeskWriter

Word for the Macintosh may fail to print in reverse order to the

Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskWriter, even though you turned on the Reverse

Print Order option in Word. (To locate the Reverse Print Order option,

choose Options from the Tools menu, and select the Print tab.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q122756    Bold Underlines Print Thicker on Color Quickdraw Printers

Underlining that is also formatted as bold prints thicker than

underlining that is not formatted as bold. This behavior occurs when you

print to a Color Quickdraw printer. By contrast, when you print to a

PostScript printer, the underline thickness will appear the same whether

Calculation Form Field Returns "$ 0"

Article ID: Q126255

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

========

If you add a calculation form field to a form and the result is in dollars,

the field will return "$ 0" (without the quotation marks) if there are no

values to calculate.

CAUSE

=====

This occurs by program design and is consistent with other numeric display

functions in Word.

RESOLUTION

==========

To force the calculation field to return nothing if no values are available

to compute, two number formats must be used.

While the form is unprotected, do the following:

1. Double-click the calculation field to be altered.

2. In the Form Text Field Options dialog box, type a number sign (#) in the

   Number Format box and choose OK.

3. Press ALT+F9 (in page layout view) or select the field and press

   SHIFT+F9. This enables you to view the field code.

4. Between the final two braces ({}), enter the number format desired.

   For example:

      {FORMTEXT { =A1 + B1} \# $#,##0.00;($#,##0.00)}

   Where "$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00)" (without the quotation marks) is the

   desired format when the value is not 0 (zero).

Note: The result of the calculation form field will be a whole number. The

numbers being referenced is rounded to the nearest whole number. Any

further editing of the calculation form field will cause the number

formatting commands that were added to be removed from the field.
