= SUMMARY =

This article describes issues you may encounter when you use one of the Microsoft programs listed at the beginning of this article on a computer running the released version of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Empty Text Frame Appears in E-mail Project
An empty text frame may appear across the top of the screen when you create a new e-mail project, close a preview window for an e-mail project, or open a saved e-mail project. You cannot type in the text frame, and you cannot delete it. If you click any other object in the e-mail project, the frame disappears.

NOTE: The empty frame does not appear when you preview the project or open it in your Web browser.

Text and Animations Are Not Displayed in the Introduction
When you run the Introduction Help file in Home Publishing 99 or Greetings Workshop 99, the animation and text frames may be empty.

To resolve this issue if you are using Home Publishing 99, download and run the Hp99intr.exe file from the Microsoft Software Library.

To resolve this issue if you are using Greetings Workshop 99, download and run the Gw99intr.exe file from the Microsoft Software Library.

The following files are available for download from the Microsoft Software Library:

GW99intr.exe (http://support.microsoft.com/download/support/mslfiles/GW99intr.exe)

HP99intr.exe (http://support.microsoft.com/download/support/mslfiles/HP99intr.exe)

Release Date: Apr-06-1999

For more information about downloading files from the Microsoft Software Library, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Q119591 How to Obtain Microsoft Support Files from Online Services

NOTE: In the animated greeting on Page 7 of 10 in the Greetings 99 Introduction, and on page 10 of 15 on the Home Publishing 99 Introduction, the second text frame may overwrite the first text frame without erasing it. This makes the text unreadable. The Hp99intro.exe and Gw99intro.exe files in the Software Library do not correct this issue.

Line or Shape with Hyperlink Appears Small in Browser Preview
If you add a shape or line to an E-mail Project, and then define the shape or line as a hyperlink, the object may be much smaller when you preview it in your Web browser.

Send via Hotmail Results in Error Message
If you select Hotmail as the e-mail program to use when you send an e-mail project, you may be unable to send the e-mail project, and you may receive an error message.

Internet Explorer 5.0 installs a control for the Hotmail e-mail service that provides MAPI functionality for Hotmail. Home Publishing does not support this control and cannot use it to communicate with the Hotmail e-mail service.

Unable to Select First Letter in a Single Word Text Frame
When you create a text frame that contains only one word in an E-mail Project, if you click and drag from the end of the word to the beginning of the word, you may be unable to select the first letter of the word.

To select the entire word, use one of the following methods:


 * Click and drag from the beginning of the word to the end of the word.
 * Double-click the word.
 * Type additional words in the text frame before you attempt to select the word.

If you run Internet Explorer 5 Beta 2 with the Microsoft programs listed at the beginning of this article, you may encounter issues with your e-mail projects. For additional information about these issues, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
