5.50

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

When running Word version 5.50 under Windows version 3.0 in 386 enhanced mode, switching out of Word to the active Windows session and then returning to Word may cause the Word ruler and ribbon to flash.

If the ruler flashes after toggling back to Word from Windows, check that the “Monitor Ports:” setting in the Word PIF (program information file) is set to “Text.”

The “Monitor Ports:” setting is available after clicking on the button labeled “Advanced” in the Windows PIF Editor program.

PIFs are used to run DOS applications from Windows. For more information on using the PIF Editor program to create and edit PIFs, refer to the “Microsoft Windows User’s Guide” for version 3.00.
