MORE INFORMATION
The appearance of the wizards for Microsoft Word 2000 for Windows has changed. There are six Word wizards that provide a progress indicator on the left side of the wizard window. The top of the indicator has the word "Start" and the bottom of the indicator has the word "Finish." The wizard indicator visually identifies the current step in the wizard process. It also indicates how many steps remain in the wizard process.

Certain font/color combinations can make the word "Finish" invisible on the wizard progress indicator.

The six wizards in Word that use the progress indicator are as follows: the Agenda Wizard, the Calendar Wizard, the Fax Wizard, the Newsletter Wizard, the Pleading Wizard, and the Resume Wizard.

There are two wizards that exhibit this problem: the Agenda Wizard and the Resume Wizard. The other wizards display the word "Finish" correctly.
