MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Microsoft Word version 5.0 screen drivers (for example, SCREEN.VID) do not work with Word version 5.5. Word 5.5 will detect that a screen driver from a previous version of Word is being used and will issue the following error message when Word 5.5 is started by typing “Word” (without the quotation marks):

SCREEN.VID was created for use with an earlier version of Word. Graphics modes and Print Preview are not available.

Word 5.5 will only offer text mode options in the View Preferences Display Mode field if you are using Word 5.0 screen drivers.
