- Modifing the win.ini worked for me. I copied the Word for Win 2.0
- settings from my 3.1 win.ini and pasted them into my win-os2
- win.ini. You may also have to update the LIBPATH= statement in
- your config.sys to point to your W4W path and reboot. Your autoexec.bat
- should also include the path to your win3.1 and win3.1/system
- directory to avoid other problems when running Win-OS2. I was able to
- run Word for Win 2.0 without re-installing.
