 * Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 3.0

SUMMARY
Page 71 of the &quot;Microsoft Excel Function Reference&quot; for version 3.0 shows a macro example that uses the EXEC function to run Word for Windows and open a particular document. Cell B5 of the example contains the following line:

=EXEC(&quot;C:\WINWORD.EXE&quot;,&quot;C:\MEMO1.DOC&quot;) This is a documentation error. The arguments to this EXEC function are incorrect; there should be only one argument. The corrected line should read: =EXEC(&quot;C:\WINWORD\WINWORD.EXE C:\MEMO1.DOC&quot;)
