= SYMPTOMS =

In Maintenance Mode Setup, all OLE servers are listed as installed, even though you did not install all the servers during a custom Setup. When you try to use the OLE servers, they are unavailable.

These servers, located in the Accessories installation category, include: Equation Editor, Word Art, Microsoft System Information tool, MS Works File Updater and Setup.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works version 4.0 for the Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

= WORKAROUND =

To install the rest of the OLE servers, you must run Works Maintenance Mode Setup twice.


 * 1) In the Microsoft Works 4.0 folder, run Microsoft Works Setup. This should start the Maintenance Mode Setup.
 * 2) Click the Add/Remove option
 * 3) On the Installed Components list, click the arrow to the left of the Accessories box so all individual servers are displayed.
 * 4) Clear any servers marked as installed that you didn’t actually install. Click Continue.
 * 5) When Setup finishes, start Microsoft Works Setup again, following steps 1-3.
 * 6) In the Accessories box, select the Servers you cleared in step 4
 * 7) Click Continue.

Your OLE servers should now function and list correctly in future maintenance setups.
