Last reviewed: February 6, 1998
Article ID: Q126167
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Internet Assistant for Word, version 1.0, 1.0z, 2.0
  • Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0a, 6.0c
  • Microsoft Word for Windows 95, versions 7.0, 7.0a
  • Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

You receive error messages such as WordBasic Error 124, "Unknown Command, Subroutine, or Function", each time you try to execute an Internet Assistant command while using the HTML template.

CAUSE 1

Internet Assistant Setup installed all of the files in the Word for Windows program directory (C:\WINWORD or C:\MSOFFICE\WINWORD) instead of the correct directories.

If installing Internet Assistant version 1. 0, this problem occurred because your WINWORD6.INI file is missing, damaged, or does not contain valid paths to file locations. For Internet Assistant version 2.0, the registry must be updated to point to valid file locations.

RESOLUTION

To correctly install Internet Assistant for Word, do the following:

  1. Run Internet Assistant Setup to remove all components of Internet Assistant for Word.

2.

Internet Assistant Version 1.0

   a. Using a text editor such as Notepad, edit the WINWORD6.INI file and
      specify the correct paths for your files. For example:

      [Microsoft Word]
      USER-DOT-PATH=C:\WINWORD\TEMPLATE
      PROGRAMDIR=C:\WINWORD
      STARTUP-PATH=C:\WINWORD\STARTUP

Internet Assistant Version 2.0

   a. Start Word and go to Tools, Options, File Locations and modify the
      directories to point to valid file locations.

      For example:

         Documents = c:\msoffice\winword
         User Templates = c:\msoffice\templates
         Startup = c:\msoffice\winword\startup

  • Run Setup again to install Internet Assistant for Word.

    CAUSE 2

    In Word for Windows 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c, the checkbox for WORDHTML.WLL has been cleared or in Word for Windows 7.0, 7.0a,.the checkbox for WIAHTM32.WLL has been cleared

    RESOLUTION

    From the File menu choose Templates and select the WORDHTML.WLL for Word for Windows 6.x or select the WIAHTM32.WLL for Word for Windows 7.x checkbox.
