--------------------------------------------------------------------
Enclosed with this application note is a disk that contains a new
keyboard driver (PAUSE.KBD) and corrected video drivers for common
displays that should solve the temporary pause problem encountered
when using Microsoft Word version 5.50.
The video drivers on the enclosed disk contain the corrected keyboard
driver component for commonly used displays (listed below). You can
copy the video driver files directly to your Word 5.50 directory using
the instructions in Procedure 1 below. In addition to using the video
files included with this application note, you can incorporate the
PAUSE.KBD keyboard driver into any Word 5.50 video driver (the file
that Word uses to display the program on your screen) by using the
MAKEVID.EXE utility provided with Word 5.50. This modification is
explained in Procedure 2 below. Also, instructions for using
MAKEVID.EXE are provided on pages 62-63 of the "Getting Started"
manual for Word 5.50.
Corrected video drivers included with this application note are:
For This Display Use This File
---------------- -------------
IBM VGA PFVGA.VID
IBM EGA PFEGA.VID
IBM CGA PFCGA.VID
Monochrome Display Adapter PFMDA.VID
Hercules PFHRC102.VID
Hercules Plus or Hercules InColor PFHRC112.VID
Toshiba T3100 PFT3100.VID
PROCEDURE 1: INSTALLING A PRE-BUILT SCREEN DRIVER
=================================================
Using a Hard Disk System
------------------------
1. Delete the existing SCREEN.VID file that resides in the Word 5.50
directory by typing the following at the DOS prompt and pressing
ENTER
del <pathname>\screen.vid
where <pathname> is the drive and directory where you have
installed Word 5.50. For example, if you have installed Word 5.50
on drive C in the WORD55 directory, type the following and press
ENTER:
del c:\word55\screen.vid
2. Delete the MW.INI file that resides in the Word 5.50 directory
using the instructions in step 1 (typing "mw.ini" -- without the
quotation marks -- in place of "screen.vid").
3. Copy the appropriate video driver file from the enclosed disk to
the Word 5.50 directory, renaming the file SCREEN.VID. To do this,
place the enclosed Word 5.50 Pausing Patch disk in drive A, type
the following at the DOS prompt, and press ENTER
copy a:<filename.vid> <pathname>\screen.vid
where <filename.vid> is the appropriate video driver from the list
above and <pathname> is the drive and directory where you have
installed Word 5.50. For example, if you have an IBM VGA monitor
and have installed Word 5.50 on drive C in the WORD55 directory,
type the following at the DOS prompt and press ENTER:
copy a:pfvga.vid c:\word55\screen.vid
Using a Dual Floppy Disk System
-------------------------------
1. Delete the existing SCREEN.VID file that resides on the Word 5.50
working copy program disk (usually labeled "Program") by placing
that disk in drive A and typing the following at the DOS prompt and
pressing ENTER:
del a:\screen.vid
2. Delete the MW.INI file that resides in the Word 5.50 directory
using the instructions in step 1 (typing "mw.ini" -- without the
quotation marks -- in place of "screen.vid").
3. Copy the appropriate video driver file from the enclosed disk to
your Word 5.50 working copy program disk (usually labeled
"Program"), renaming it SCREEN.VID. To do this, place the enclosed
Word 5.50 Pausing Patch disk in drive B, place your working copy
program disk in drive A, type the following at the DOS prompt, and
press ENTER
copy b:<filename.vid> a:screen.vid
where <filename.vid> is the appropriate video driver from the list
above. For example, if you have an IBM VGA monitor, type the
following at the DOS prompt and press ENTER:
copy b:pfvga.vid a:screen.vid
You should now be able to run Word 5.50 without encountering the
temporary pause problem.
PROCEDURE 2: USING PAUSE.KBD TO CREATE A NEW VIDEO DRIVER
=========================================================
If you need a video driver that is not provided on the enclosed disk,
you can use the MAKEVID.EXE utility to build a video driver that
includes the new keyboard driver (PAUSE.KBD) on the enclosed disk.
Listed below are the types of video display choices that are available
in the Word Setup program. Under each name is a list of the components
(files) needed to build a driver and the MAKEvid command that creates
the SCREEN.VID file.
Note: For more information on creating screen (video) drivers
with the MAKEvid utility, see page 62 of the Microsoft Word
"Getting Started" manual.
The necessary files shown below are located on the Setup disk (3.5
inch) or on the Program 3 disk (5.25 inch). Because these files are
compressed, you must decompress them after copying them to your Word
directory. For instructions on manually decompressing a file, please
refer to page 67 in the "Getting Started" manual.
After building your custom video driver, you will need to install it
by copying it to your Word 5.50 directory. The instructions to do this
are outlined in steps 1-3 of Procedure 1 above. Before completing the
installation, you should combine the appropriate components and create
a video driver using the command for your display as shown below. To
do this, enter the appropriate command syntax given below at the DOS
prompt and press ENTER.
