 * Microsoft Windows 3.1

SUMMARY
The following Word Assistant error message may occur when you choose the Special Paper command from the Insert Menu:

SPCLPPR.SPT is missing from the Special Papers directory, so you cannot run Special Paper.

CAUSE
The above error occurs when the Paper Locations setting in the SPCLPPR.INI file is incorrect. This happens if you move the Special Paper files after you install Word Assistant but do not update the SPCLPPR.INI file to reflect the new location.

Note: When you run the Word Assistant Setup program, you cannot change the directories where the Special Paper files are located. This means you have to move them after you complete Setup.

WORKAROUND
Using a text editor such as Windows Notepad, open the SPCLPPR.INI file, located in the \WINDOWS directory, and correct the path of the Papers Location setting in the [Special Paper] section. The following example shows the default settings after Setup:

  [SPECIAL PAPER] PAPERS LOCATION=C:\WINWORD\SPCLPPR HELP=C:\WINWORD\SPCLPPR.HLP Additional query words: 6.00a winword word6
