 * Microsoft Word for the Macintosh versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02, 4.0, 5.0, 5.1 ———————————————————————- SUMMARY =======

When a document is added to the Work menu, Microsoft Word versions 3.0x and later remember the location of that document on the disk in order to open it later. If you change the location (or name) of a document after adding it to the Work menu, Word will no longer be able to find it and will bring up a dialog box asking you to locate the file.

If you decide that you want to move a document that has already been added to the Work menu, you need to delete it from the Work menu and then add it again once it is in its new location.

Document names on the Work menu can also appear to be gray if you already have the maximum number of windows open or are in a low-memory situation.
