Word: Workstation Installation with Setup User Command

= SUMMARY =

The correct command for installing Word on a workstation is as follows:

user (Note space between setup and user.)

For example, if the Word program files are installed on the server in Drive E, enter the following:

e:user

Some customers have interpreted the use of italics on Page 224 (Appendix G, “Network Administrator’s Guide”) of the “Reference to Microsoft Word” version 5.0 manual as meaning that the workstation name should be substituted for the word “user”. Italics are used elsewhere in that same paragraph where their purpose is that of a placeholder.

Also, on Page 41 of “Word Processing Power with Microsoft Word” by Peter Rinearson (Microsoft Press), the command is shown as setup, where is the name assigned to the workstation.

This is incorrect. “User” is a flag in the SETUP.EXE file as installed on the network server to invoke the workstation setup procedure built into Word version 5.00.

The workstation setup command is correctly described in the ending message of the network setup procedure. The command is “Setup User”.
