  • Microsoft Word for Windows and Bookshelf, 1994 edition

SUMMARY

Microsoft Office version 4.3c-CD ships with Microsoft Bookshelf, and it also includes the option to install Microsoft Bookshelf integration with Microsoft Word for Windows. Along with Lotus Notes/FX support, and some additional demonstration files, the option to use the Microsoft Word for Windows and Bookshelf integration is one of the major differences between Microsoft Office version 4.3-CD and version 4.3c-CD.

MORE INFORMATION

The following information describes the functionality that is added to Microsoft Word and Bookshelf if you install Microsoft Bookshelf, and you select the Integration With Microsoft Word item.

The BSWORD.HLP file is installed to your Microsoft Word directory. This file is the Bookshelf help file that provides information about Microsoft Word and Bookshelf integration.

The BSWORD.DOT file is installed to your Microsoft Word MACROS subdirectory. This template contains Microsoft Word & Bookshelf Macros and the Microsoft QuickShelf toolbar. The Microsoft QuickShelf toolbar contains the following buttons, and each button runs the corresponding macro:

The add-in file BSH.WLL is installed to your Microsoft Word STARTUP subdirectory. This add-in adds the Daily Update and Define commands to your View menu, and adds the Define command to the shortcut menu.

The BSH.WLL add-in provides the functionality of displaying the Daily Update dialog box whenever you start Microsoft Word, and when you choose Daily Update from the View menu. This dialog box allows you to view a Quote of the Day, Word of the Day, an event that occurred on This Day in History, or a Microsoft Word 6.0 Tip of the Day.

To use the Define command on either the View menu or the shortcut menu, you can select a word in your document, then either choose Define from the View menu, or click the right mouse button and then choose Define from the shortcut menu. This displays a Bookshelf dialog box that contains a definition of the selected word.

Microsoft Bookshelf also has special links for Word for Windows. You can select an article or a portion of an article in Microsoft Bookshelf, and then choose Copy To Word from the Edit menu. This allows you to automatically copy and paste text to a new document, the current location, or the end of any open document in Microsoft Word.
