The information in this article applies to:

= SYMPTOMS =

Page 1136 contains the “About the Compact Disc” section and is located at the end of the book between the license agreement and the registration card. This page contains the following text:

The compact disc will also take you to a Web site to help you stay current with new Internet listings. This resource, updated often, lists addresses and links that are too new to have been included on your CD. To view links to new sites, open the Help menu and then click New Internet Directory Listings Online.&quot;

However, there is no New Internet Directory Listings Online option in the Help menu.

= RESOLUTION =

Updates to the Web listings can be obtained in one of two ways.

First, Microsoft Bookshelf Internet Directory will automatically update the addresses of the sites on the CD-ROM if and when the addresses change. This is called the “Web Link Redirection” feature. The addresses will be automatically updated as needed when they are used. You do not have to do anything to enable this feature.

Second, you can browse through new and updated listings by following these steps:


 * 1) On the Help menu, click New Listings. This will take you to http://bookshelf.msn.com/na/updates.asp.
 * 2) In the second paragraph on the Web page, choose the Premier Web Search link.
 * 3) On the Bookshelf Premier Web Search page, click to select Bookshelf Premier Sites.
 * 4) Type one or more keywords in Find Information About.

This search will give you all of the sites that Bookshelf has selected containing the keywords. Note, however, that these sites are not reviewed.

Please note that it is not possible to download these updates to your copy of Microsoft Bookshelf Internet Directory.

Correction:
Page 1136, paragraph 5: Delete sentence 3: “To view links to new sites…” Replace with: “To view links to new sites, open the Help menu, then choose New Listings, and then choose the Premier Web Search link.”

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Official Microsoft Bookshelf Internet Directory, 1998 Edition.
