MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

If Microsoft Word versions 5.0 or 5.5 are run in a window under Windows version 3.0 enhanced mode, only text modes are available. If Word is placed in a graphics mode while in a window, Windows will display a message that says Word will be suspended until it can run full screen. While Word is suspended, it will not respond to any keyboard input, and the computer will beep.

To get Word into full-screen mode, perform the following steps:


 * 1) Pull down the system menu with the mouse or press ALT+SPACEBAR.
 * 2) Choose the Settings menu, which will open up a dialog box.
 * 3) Choose the Full Screen option under the Display Options group.
 * 4) Press ENTER, Word will now be running full screen where it can access a graphics mode.

While running Word in full-screen graphics mode under Windows 3.0 enhanced mode, pressing ALT+SPACEBAR will put Word into a window and suspend it until it can run full screen again.

This problem does not occur under Windows 3.0 standard or real modes.
