Word 2000 Options
  Option                     Description

AutoSave-Path             Sets the folder where AutoRecovery save files are written to. If you use Microsoft Word on                             a computer running Microsoft Windows 95 or                              Windows 98, automatically recovered files are by default stored in the Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Word folder. If you use Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 or later, or                              you use a computer on which there is more than one active user profile, automatically recovered files are stored in the "\Windows\Profiles\username\Application                             Data\Microsoft\Word" folder.

Bak-Extension             Sets the default extension for Word backup files. The default extension is *.wbk.

BitMapMemory              Sets the maximum size of the Word bitmap cache (in KB). If you use many graphics in                             your documents, a larger bitmap cache may improve scrolling and screen redraw speed. When set to 1, Word automatically adjusts the bitmap cache size.

CacheSize                 Sets the size of the Word file cache (in KB). You may be able to improve the speed of file I/O and other operations in Word by                             increasing the cache size. The minimum and default cache size is 64K.

DateFormat                Sets the default data format for the DATE field. This is used only for backward compatibility purposes. Word 2000 uses a                             different format.

Example: MMMM d, yyyy

DOC-Extension             The default file extension that is used for Word documents. The default is *.doc. You must restart Word for modifications to take effect.

INI-Path                  Path for user options. This is used only for backward compatibility purposes. Note that Word 2000 user options are stored in the Windows registry or internally.

NoFontMRUList             Turns on or off the most recently used (MRU) font list. You must restart Word for the modifications to take effect. Enter either 0 or 1.

0 - Turn on MRU font list. 1 - Turn off MRU font list.

OLEDOT                    Specifies the document template used when creating a document object within Word or                             another OLE application.

Picture-Path              Sets the default path used when you choose Insert Picture. You must restart Word before this setting takes effect. You can also use the File Locations tab (on Tools menu,                             click Options) to modify the setting.

ProgramDir                Specifies where the Word program files are located.

Default path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office

SlowShading               Allows you to shade graphics by overriding a                              special drawing function on some Hewlett Packard printers. Using this option slows printing. If a printer does not support this special drawing function, the switch has no                             effect. Enter 0 for No, 1 for Yes.

Startup-Path              Sets the path for Word startup files, such as                              templates and WLLs to load when starting Word.

Built-in default path: C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup

TimeFormat                Sets the default time format for the TIME field. This is used only for backward compatibility purposes. Word 2000 uses a                             different format.

Example: h:mm:ss

Tools-Path                Sets a location in which Word searches for proofing tools, filters, converters, and certain other components, in the event that they are not registered properly or cannot be found in their standard directories.

Built-in default path: C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates

For example: \\Group\User\Mytmplts
