 * Microsoft Word for the Macintosh versions 5.0, 5.1

SUMMARY
If you install Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 5.0 from a Startup disk when running Apple System 7.0 with the File Sharing option turned on, the Installer cannot install Word to a hard drive other than the Startup disk. To install Word on a different disk, you must first deactivate the File Sharing option.

This is a limitation of Installer version 3.3, which is licensed from Apple Computer, Incorporated. Apple is aware of this problem.

MORE INFORMATION
To deactivate the File Sharing option, use the following steps:


 * 1) From the Apple menu, choose Control Panels.
 * 2) Double-click the Sharing Setup panel.
 * 3) In the File Sharing area, click the Stop button.
 * 4) When the prompt &quot;How many minutes until File Sharing is disabled?&quot; appears, enter the number of minutes you want to wait until you disable File Sharing, and press the OK button.

Note: You can select the File Sharing Monitor control panel to see if other users are sharing your computer, or just leave &quot;0,&quot; and press the OK button to immediately disable File Sharing in step 4.
