6.00 7.00

WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

When you save a Word 6.0 for Windows NT or Word 7.0 for Windows 95 document containing one or more user-defined styles in Word for MS-DOS 3.x-5.x or Word for MS-DOS 6.0 format, and you select the option to attach or create a style sheet, you may receive the following error message:

Style sheet file name specified is not valid.

= CAUSE =

The style sheet (*.sty) is being saved with a long file name or is being saved to a folder with a long file name (such as My Documents).

= RESOLUTION =

To work around this problem, use the standard 8.3 MS-DOS naming convention for both the style sheet name and for the folder you are saving the style sheet to.
