Word: Loading NORMAL.GLY and NORMAL.STY with Networked Word

5.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

When Microsoft Word version 5.00 is installed on a network server, Word will look for NORMAL.GLY and NORMAL.STY in the following places, in the following order:


 * 1) The directory indicated in the Transfer Options “setup:” field (changing the directory name in the Transfer Options “setup:” field and specifying “Yes” in the “save between sessions:” field will change the Transfer Options directory for future sessions of Word).
 * 2) The Word workstation directory specified by the MSWNET variable (SET MSWNET=C:).
 * 3) The Word program directory on the network server.

This information contradicts that listed on Page 224 (which is incorrect) of the “Reference to Microsoft Word” manual (Word does NOT look first to the user’s current directory).

Word looks first to the directory listed in the Transfer Options “setup:” field, which may or may not be the user’s current directory. If the wrong NORMAL.STY or NORMAL.GLY is loading, or if you are having other problems, check the directory listed in Transfer Options.
