You chose Library Run, but DOS cannot find the program or command that you typed.

Do one of the following:


 * 1) Check your typing and retype correctly if necessary.
 * 2) If you have a disk system, make sure that COMMAND.COM is on the disk.
 * 3) Check the disk for the program or command you want to run.
 * 4) Insert the correct disk if necessary.
 * 5) You might have typed an incorrect path to the program or command. Re-enter the program or command.
 * 6) If you typed a DOS internal command, run COMMAND.COM, then retry the command.

In Word version 5.50, select File DOS Commands (ALT, F, D) and enter Command to shell out to DOS.
