5.00 5.50

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

On a dual-floppy system running Microsoft Word for DOS version 5.0, the first time you run Library Spell, Word prompts with the following message:

Replace Word disk with Spell disk. Enter Y when ready.

However, all following attempts to run Library Spell generate the following error message:

Cannot find standard dictionary. Update speller path field in Options menu.

To work around this problem, place the Spell disk in the drive before choosing the Library Spell command.

Word version 5.5 provides a better prompt for all attempts following the first to invoke the spelling checker. The Word 5.5 message instructs you to insert the disk containing the file SPELL-AM.LEX.
