WINDOWS

Summary:

When you start Microsoft Word for Windows as an icon by using the “Load” parameter in the WIN.INI file or by pressing the SHIFT key while clicking WINWORD.EXE, a defined style area width will default to 0.19 inch.

If the style area width in the Preferences dialog box (choose Preferences from the View menu) was set to a width greater than 0.19 inch during the last session of Word, the next time Word for Windows is loaded from an icon, the default style area width will be set to 0.19 inch.

More Information:

Any changes made under the View menu are normally written to the WINWORD.INI file upon exiting Word for Windows. This occurs so that preferences are noted for the next session of Word for Windows.

The style area width is only restored to the same width as the last session when the program is started from the Program Manager.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.1a. This problem has been corrected in version 2.0.
