MS-DOS

= SYMPTOMS =

After you run the Grammatik grammar checker in a Word for MS-DOS document, the following error message may occur, or your document may become damaged (corrupted):

GMK is unable to save .gmk

= CAUSE =

This happens when you use Grammatik to check the grammar in a document that contains a symbol you inserted from a TrueType font using the Symbol command on the Insert menu. It does not happen if you insert the symbol from a Printer font. Similarly, it does not happen if you insert the symbol by pressing ALT plus the ASCII key code for the symbol on the numeric keypad.

= WORKAROUND =

A version of Grammatik that corrects this problem is available from Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS).

= MORE INFORMATION =

If the “GMK is unable to save…” error message does not occur, when you return to Word from Grammatik and reopen the document, Grammatik has inserted three extra characters into your document in place of the inserted TrueType symbol. This corrupts the file format of your document, and shifts formatting and paragraphs.
