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

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, versions 4.0, 4.0a, and, 4.0b == 

= SUMMARY =

The Help balloons for Works 4.0 may not appear if either of the following conditions exists:


 * The “Works Balloon Help” file is not available in the Microsoft Works 4.0:Tools:Help folder.
 * The Microsoft Works program icon is not in the Microsoft Works 4.0 folder.

= MORE INFORMATION =

If you want to put the Microsoft Works program icon in a location other than the Microsoft Works 4.0 folder for convenience, create an alias for the program icon and then place the alias in the location you want. To create an alias, click the Microsoft Works program icon, and then click Make Alias on the File menu. Move the alias to the location you want. You can also place the alias in the Launcher folder in the System folder to start Works automatically when you start your computer.

If you move Works from the Microsoft Works 4.0 folder, Works cannot locate some of the files it needs (such as the “Works Balloon Help” file). Placing an alias in the location you want allows the program to remain in its original location but be opened from other locations such as the desktop.
