SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Word 2000, when you create a document by using a template that contains a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) frameset, you may receive the following error message:
CAUSE
When Word loads frame files, it uses the default Document folder, as set in File Locations under Options on the Tools menu, regardless of where the frame files are located. When the default document and template folder are exactly the same, this behavior does not occur.
WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, link each frame to a file; to do so, follow these steps:
- Follow these steps for all frames in your document:
- Right-click each frame, and then click Save Current Frame As.
- In the Save As dialog box, click Word Document in the Save as type list, and then save the file.
- Right-click each frame, and then click Frame Properties.
- In the Frame Properties dialog box, on the Frame tab, click Link to file.
- On the File menu, click Save, and then click Document Template in the Save as type list.
- Type a file name, and then click Save.
