SYMPTOMS
When you print a Schedule+ file, the following error message may appear:

The print operation could not be completed. Cannot print because there are not valid .FMT files available.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when the following conditions are met:
 * You perform a Compact installation of Microsoft Office for Windows 95. -and-


 * You start Schedule+ and click Print on the File menu.

This behavior occurs because a Compact installation does not install the .fmt files that Schedule+ requires in order to print. This behavior is by design of the Office Setup program.



MORE INFORMATION
The following .fmt files are installed when you perform a Complete installation of Microsoft Office:   Msoffice\Schedule

Av41206.fmt Av41256.fmt Av41307.fmt Av41357.fmt Avl7901.fmt Avl7902.fmt Dyno106.fmt Normal.fmt These files, which are necessary for printing, are also installed by Microsoft Exchange. In order to conserve disk space, Schedule+ uses the files installed by Exchange when you perform a Compact installation.
