SYMPTOMS
Windows Sound System Setup does not add a Proof menu to the Excel 5.0 for Windows menu bar.



RESOLUTION
To add a Proof menu, do the following:


 * 1) Verify that the PROOF.XLA file is in the EXCEL\LIBRARY directory. This file is added by Windows Sound System Setup.
 * 2) Run Excel 5.0.
 * 3) From the Tools menu, choose Add-Ins.
 * 4) In the Add-Ins dialog box, choose the Browse button.
 * 5) Double-click the LIBRARY directory.
 * 6) The file PROOF.XLA appears in the filenames list box on the left. Select the file and choose OK.
 * 7) If the message "Replace existing 'PROOF.XLA'?" appears, choose Yes.
 * 8) Choose OK in the Add-Ins dialog box to close it.

After a short period of time, the Excel menu bar will redraw and add a Proof menu.
