Adding and Removing 6.0 Supplemental Conversions Files

Q112250



The information in this article applies to:


  • Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a
  • Microsoft Windows 3.1





SUMMARY

A Setup program installs text converters, graphic filters, and Word for MS-DOS glossary files found on the Microsoft Word 6.0 for Windows Supplemental File Conversion Disks. The first time you run Setup, an SC_SETUP.STF file is created in the Word 6.0 for Windows program directory (for example, C:\WINWORD). If you run the Supplemental Conversion Setup program again, the SC_SETUP.STF file puts the Setup program into a maintenance mode that allows you to add or remove supplemental conversion files.

If the supplemental conversion files aren't being installed properly after following the usual setup procedures, delete the SC_SETUP.STF file in the Word 6.0 for Windows program directory. Also, delete old or damaged text converters, graphic filters, and/or Word for MS-DOS glossary files, then run the Supplemental File Conversion Disk Setup program again.



MORE INFORMATION

Supplemental text converters are stored in the C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\TEXTCONV directory (where C:\WINDOWS is the location of your Windows program directory) and the Word 6.0 program directory (for example, C:\WINWORD). Supplemental graphic filters are stored in the C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\GRPHFLT directory (where C:\WINDOWS is the location of your Windows program directory).

Supplemental Word for MS-DOS glossary files are stored in the TEMPLATE subdirectory of the Word 6.0 program directory (for example, the C:\WINWORD\TEMPLATE directory).

  1. Start Microsoft Windows.
