If you use the “a:setup user” method with 5.25-inch disks, Word does not correctly prompt you to insert the Utilities 2 disk after selection of the computer and video type. As a result, Word displays an error message.

To set up a workstation on a network, run “setup user” from the Word program directory on the server.
