WordBasic Errors When Trying to Display Word 2.0 Dialog Boxes

• Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
• Microsoft Word for Windows 95, version 7.0
• Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

When you try to display certain Word 2.0 for Windows dialog boxes in Word 6.0 for Windows or Word 7.0 for Windows 95, using a WordBasic statement with the "WW2_" prefix, one of the following errors may occur instead:

   Error 509: Command not available

   -or-

   Error 102: Command Failed

CAUSE

The code to display the Word 2.x dialog box was replaced with the code to display the new Word 6.0 version of the dialog box. You can use the WW2_ statements to set options or return information from the Word 2.x dialog boxes, but you cannot display the dialog box in Word 6.0. The following is a list of the Word 2.x dialog boxes you cannot display using the WW2_ statement in Word 6.0:
