2 Microsoft Word Help

The &quot;Get Help for Visual Basic for Applications&quot; topic in the Microsoft Word Help file incorrectly states the name of the Value Pack component for installing the Visual Basic for Applications Help file. To install programming Help from the Value Pack, click the arrow next to the Programmability check box, and then select the VBA Help check box.

The &quot;Ways to get assistance while you work&quot; topic incorrectly states that you can click the Index button in the Help window to search for specific words or phrases. You can only search for keywords by alphabetical order when you click the Index button.

The &quot;Image control&quot; topic in the Microsoft Word VBA Help file incorrectly lists several file formats that can be used. The Image control only supports the PICT file format.

3 Microsoft Word 2001 Memory Recommendations

The following is a list of symptoms that may occur if there is not enough memory available in Word. If you are receiving any of these symptoms, you can increase the memory requirements for Word by doing the following:

1. Quit Word. 2. From the desktop, double-click the hard disk icon. 3. Double-click the folder you installed Office 2001 in, usually Microsoft Office 2001. 4. Click the Microsoft Word icon. 5. On the File Menu, point to Get info, and then click Memory. 6. Under Memory Requirements, increase the value in the Preferred Size box by the amount listed below for the symptom you are experiencing.

3.1 Documents containing Asian Fonts When you open or create a document in Microsoft Word that contains Asian fonts, you may receive a message indicating that there is not enough memory to display the requested font. This message appears because of the size of most Asian fonts. SOLUTION: Increase the memory requirements for Word by 1000K. NOTE: The amount of memory required to avoid this message will increase if you use multiple Far East fonts in a document.

3.2 Checking Grammar As You Type If the Check Grammar As You Type check box is selected on the Spelling & Grammar tab in the Preferences dialog box (Edit menu), performance may be sub-optimal.

SOLUTION: Increase the performance of this feature by increasing the memory requirements for Word by 1000K.

3.3 Running Word 2001 Wizards When you use a wizard to create a document, you may receive a low-memory message or some graphics may appear as red X's. SOLUTION: Increase the memory requirements for Word by 1000K. NOTE: Using more than one wizard may require additional memory.

3.5 Documents Containing Large Graphics Creating or working with documents that contain large graphics may generate a low-memory message, or some graphics may appear as red X's. SOLUTION: Increase the memory requirements for Word by 1000K. NOTE: If you have large or complex documents, and increasing the memory requirements for Word does not address the symptoms described above, continue increasing the memory until the symptoms disappear.

4 Microsoft Word 2001 Known Issues

4.1 Default Save Formats Are Not Retained with Assistant Turned Off

When the Office Assistant is removed from the Office folder or turned off, Word will not warn you before saving in Word 2001's default file format. This will eliminate any possible data loss, but can be confusing if you share the current document with older versions of Word. To avoid this, please leave the assistant on or hidden, or remember to choose Save As from the File menu to ensure that you are using the file format you expect.

4.2 Suffix Dropped from Contact when Added to the Office Address Book from within Word 2001

When you add a Contact containing a Suffix to the Office Address Book from within Word, the Suffix will be lost. You can go the to Address Book and manually add the Suffix. Prefixes are also effected.

4.3 Word 2001 No Longer Allows the User to Toggle Keypad Navigation via the NumLock Key To conform to Mac OS USB Keyboard Standards, Word 2001 removed the ability to toggle KeyPad functionality with the NumLock key.

4.4 Office 2001 for Mac is Incompatible with Connectix RAM Doubler versions 9.0 and Earlier Using Office 2001 with RAM Doubler can cause failure and data loss. For updates to RAM Doubler, go to .
