Word for Windows NT Returns Error When Starting WordArt

Q126600



The information in this article applies to:


  • Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0





SYMPTOMS

After you start WordArt in Word for Windows NT, the following error message appears:

Cannot find server application.



CAUSE

The registration for WordArt is incorrect in WRDART32.REG.



RESOLUTION

Double-click on WRDART32.REG in File Manager, and the WordArt file locations should re-register and correct the problem. If this does not resolve the problem, open WRDART32.REG with a text editor and check the file paths. For example, if NT is installed in a directory called C:\WINNT35, a typical configuration would look like:

   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MSWordArt.2\protocol\StdFileEditing\server =
   C:\WINNT35\MSAPPS\WORDART\WRDART32.EXE

   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{000212F0-0000-0000-C000-
   000000000046}\LocalServer32 = C:\WINNT35\MSAPPS\WORDART\ 
   WRDART32.EXE

   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{000212F0-0000-0000-C000-
   000000000046}\Defaulticon = C:\WINNT35\MSAPPS\WORDART\WRDART32.EXE, 0
