Microsoft Word Assistant, version 1.0

SUMMARY

This article describes how to install a copy of Word Assistant into a directory on your network server. The information here supplements information in the WAREADME.TXT file supplied with Microsoft Word Assistant.

MORE INFORMATION

To install Word Assistant to the network, follow these steps:

Perform a standard workstation installation of Word Assistant either from floppy disk or, after creating a network setup, as outlined in the WAREADME.TXT file. The files are installed to the user's workstation or to the user's directory on the server.

Copy the contents of C:\WINWORD\CLIPART (where C:\WINWORD\CLIPART represents the user's the local directory) to F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD\CLIPART (where F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD is the server location for the shared files).

Copy the contents of C:\WINWORD\STARTUP to F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD\STARTUP.

Copy the contents of C:\WINWORD\TEMPLATE to a directory called F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD\TEMPLATE.

On the server, create the directory, F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD\SPCLPPR.

Copy the contents of C:\WINWORD\SPPCLPPR to the F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD\SPPCLPPR directory.

Using a text editor such as Notepad, edit the WINWORD6.INI file to point to the proper directories. This file is located in the user's Windows directory (for example, C:\WINDOWS). For example, the WINDWORD6.INI file might display the following text:
```
      [Microsoft Word]
      USER-DOT-PATH=C:\WINWORD\TEMPLATE
      WORKGROUP-DOT-PATH=F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD\TEMPLATE
      PICTURE-PATH=F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD\CLIPART 
```

Using the text editor, modify the SPCLPPR.INI file to reflect the proper path. This file is also located in the user's WINDOWS directory. This file might look like this:
```
      [Special Paper]
      Papers Location=F:\WINAPPS\WINWORD\SPCLPPR 
```

Edit the FONTSEL.INI file to add button=1 to the [Misc] section.
```
      [Misc]
      button=1 
```
For additional information on modifying the FONTSEL.INI file, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Q106657 Customizing the Font Selector in Word Assistant

Future installations of Word Assistant create a C:\WINWORD directory structure. Delete the C:\WINWORD directory (where C:\WINWORD is the local directory). Then repeat steps 7 through 9.

If the user-specific files are local, do not delete the C:\WINWORD directory. You can delete the C:\WINWORD\SPCLPPR directory and the C:\WINWORD\CLIPART directory; delete all templates beginning with WA_ or WAF_ in the C:\WINWORD\TEMPLATE directory, and delete the .WLL files in the C:\WINWORD\STARTUP directory.
