Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c

SUMMARY

When you install Microsoft Word for Windows version 2.0, a program group is created in Windows containing icons for the Word for Windows and Word for Windows Setup programs. An icon is not created for the Word for Windows Dialog Editor as the "Word for Windows User's Guide" suggests; however, you can manually create an icon by following the steps below:

Start Windows, and open the Word for Windows program group.
From the Program Manager File menu, choose New.
Select Program Item from the list of options.
On the Description line, type Dialog Editor.
On the Command line, type the path for Word for Windows and MACRODE.EXE as follows:
```
      c:\winword\macrode.exe.
```

This creates an icon that you can use to run the Dialog Editor.

This problem was corrected in Word version 6.0 for Windows.
