Insert ClipArt and File New Won't Default to Right Directories

• Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0
• Microsoft Office for Windows, version 4.3
• Microsoft Bookshelf for Windows 1994 edition

SYMPTOMS

When you choose New from the File menu, the names of your templates do not appear in the Template list. Similarly, when you try to insert clipart and you choose Picture from the Insert menu, you have to change the directory to the location of your clipart pictures.

CAUSE

When you install Office 4.3 and Bookshelf '94, the Setup program may incorrectly set the ClipArt Pictures and User Templates file locations settings in Word to the Word program directory.

The ClipArt Pictures file location setting should specify the ClipArt directory, and the User Templates file location setting should specify the <WinWord>\TEMPLATES subdirectory.

Note: This problem occurs only with the integrated Office 4.3 and Bookshelf '94 package. It does not occur when Office 4.3 and Bookshelf '94 are purchased and installed separately.
