SUMMARY
You can run 16-bit Windows-based applications in their own memory space under Windows NT 3.5 and 3.51. This is most easily accomplished by selecting the program icon in Program Manager, choosing Properties from the File menu, and selecting "Run in Separate Memory Space."

Because the Microsoft Office Toolbar does not use Program Manager you need to create a custom Application Button to run a 16-bit application in its own memory space.



MORE INFORMATION
The following procedure explains how to run a 16-bit Windows-based application in its own address space. It uses Microsoft Excel as an example.


 * 1) Create a batch file containing the following commands:

start /separate /b d:\msoffice\excel\excel.exe

exit

This example refers to the batch file as C:\BAT\SAMPLE.BAT
 * 1) Start the toolbar by running Microsoft Office from the Microsoft Office Program Group.
 * 2) Click the application button, on the far right hand side of the toolbar, for creating customized buttons. Choose Customize.
