This application note explains how to install and operate Microsoft
Word for Windows within a network environment. When related
information about Word for Windows is available in the "Microsoft Word
for Windows User's Reference," page numbers are provided.

INSTALLATION
============

1. From any workstation, log on to the network and connect to the
   drive or share where you want to install Word for Windows. For
   example, from the DOS prompt, type the following and press ENTER:

      net use w: \\apserver\winapps

   Your syntax will vary depending on the network you use. Make sure
   you have read-write-create privileges for the directory where you
   want to install Word for Windows.

2. Insert the Word for Windows Setup disk in drive A. Type "a:setup"
   (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER. Follow the
   instructions that appear on the screen. When Setup asks where you
   want to install Word for Windows, type in the path to the drive
   (for example, w:\winword), then follow the remaining setup
   instructions.


TEMPLATES
=========

If you want to allow users to modify the templates, each user must
have his or her own copies of the templates. Copy the templates to
each user's private share or to each user's local hard drive. Leave
the templates on the server for default backups or, if disk space is a
consideration, delete the templates on the server.

   Note:  Remember, a template's file extension is .DOT.

Once you have copied the templates, you must tell Word for Windows
where the templates are located. To do this, add the following line to
the [Microsoft Word] section of each user's WIN.INI file

   DOT-PATH=pathname

where pathname is the location of the template files. For example:
DOT-PATH=h:\winword\tmplate

NORMAL.DOT is a special template. NORMAL.DOT contains all the document
default settings -- for example, left and right margins, page width
and height, the default font, and any menu changes. Because you want
to allow each user to create his or her own default settings, we
recommend you provide each user with a copy of the NORMAL.DOT template
file.

WINWORD.INI
===========

The WINWORD.INI file stores the Word for Windows global default
settings, such as the user's name; the list of the last four
files opened; and options selected, such as View Full or Short
Menus, View Ribbon, and View Ruler. Because each user's settings will
be different, each user must have his or her own copy of the
WINWORD.INI file. Place this file in each user's home directory (in a
share with read-write privileges) or on the user's local hard drive.
Add the following line to the [Microsoft Word] section of each
user's WIN.INI file

   INI-PATH=pathname

where pathname is the location of the WINWORD.INI file. For
example: INI-PATH=h:\myshare

The directory containing the user's copy of WINWORD.INI must
be listed in that user's path statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
preceding the network directory containing Word for Windows. To avoid
complications caused by having a copy of WINWORD.INI in the network
Word for Windows directory, delete any existing WINWORD.INI file from
the network directory. Word for Windows will automatically create a
new WINWORD.INI file in the user's startup directory if one does
not exist; users will be prompted for their names the first time they
start up from their user directories, thus ensuring that each user's
name is attached as Author to the File Summary information.


SPELLING CHECKER -- USER DICTIONARIES
=====================================

Word for Windows allows you to create user-specific dictionary files.
Spelling checking relies on a main dictionary and a supplemental
dictionary (called STDUSER.DIC if not named otherwise). By default,
supplemental dictionaries will be located in the same place as your
main dictionary files (LEX-??.DLL and LEX-??.DAT). Typically, the main
dictionary is located in a read-only directory. However, you may want
each user to have his or her own STDUSER.DIC file. To change the
location of the STDUSER.DIC file, do the following:

1. From the Utilities menu, choose Spelling, then choose the Options
   button.

2. Type the full pathname in the Supplemental list box, being sure to
   append "STDUSER.DIC" to the end of the path.

3. Choose OK.

Remember, the user needs to have read-write privileges in the
directory where the STDUSER.DIC file is located so the dictionary can
be modified. If the STDUSER.DIC file does not exist, Word for Windows
will prompt, "User dictionary not found. Create?". Choose Yes, and
Word for Windows will create this file for you.

Word for Windows allows several entries for supplemental dictionaries.
Typically, a user has several dictionaries, including one for company-
specific words, one for department-level words, and one for user-level
words. Word for Windows will automatically look through each
supplemental dictionary file before marking a word as misspelled. If
you do not want users to be able to modify a specific supplemental
dictionary, such as a company-wide or department-level dictionary,
place that file in a read-only share on the network.

   Note: Make sure your dictionaries use the extension .DIC
   so Word for Windows can recognize the file as a dictionary.

The file format of the supplemental dictionaries is ASCII text, with
one entry per line. For example, the following are valid entries:

   Bank of America

   WBG

   John Smith

However, the following is not a valid entry for a supplemental
dictionary:

   Bank of America, WBG, John Smith

To create a supplemental dictionary file using Word for Windows, do
the following:

1. Create a new document (from the File menu, choose New).

2. Type in the dictionary entries, with only one entry on each line.

3. From the File menu, choose Save As, and type a filename with a .DIC
   extension for this supplemental dictionary.

4. Choose the Options button and in the File Format list box, select
   Text Only. Choose OK.


DEFAULT DIRECTORY
=================

Word for Windows defaults to the directory from which Word for Windows
was executed. For example, if you start Word for Windows from
M:\WINWORD, the default directory is M:\WINWORD. To change the default
to a different directory, do the following (this procedure works only
if you are using Windows version 3.00):

1. In the Program Manager, select (click once) the Word for
   Windows icon.

2. From the File menu, choose Properties.

3. In the Command Line box, type the full path to the directory you
   want to be the default, and to that path, append "WINWORD.EXE". For
   example, if you want C:\DATADOC to be your default directory, type
   "c:\datadoc\winword.exe" (without the quotation marks) and choose
   OK.

4. When the error message "The specified path is invalid" appears,
   choose OK.

5. From the File menu, choose Properties.

6. Choose the Change Icon button.

7. Type in the real path to the Word for Windows executable file
   (WINWORD.EXE) and choose OK. Choose OK again.

8. When the error message "The specified path is invalid" appears,
   choose OK.

After you perform this procedure, when Word for Windows is loaded and
you choose Open from the File menu, the C:\DATADOC directory will be
accessed. Also, all files will be saved to this directory unless you
specify a different directory.


SPECIAL WIN.INI SWITCHES
========================

Novell Networks
---------------

When operating on a Novell network, Word for Windows may not be able
to access some files, depending on the directory/permission structure.
If you have the following directory/permission structure on a Novell
network and try to access a file in the \USERS\PERSONAL subdirectory,
the network will return an error indicating you have no privileges in
the directory:

   Root -- read only
         \
          \ USERS -- no privileges
              \
               \PERSONAL -- read-write privileges

If you specify NovellNet=Yes in the WIN.INI file, Word for Windows
will execute the DOS command CD \USERS\PERSONAL before reading the
file and then will change the directory back when done. This method
works because you haven't directly accessed the USERS directory, for
which you have no privileges.

AS400 Computers
---------------

Word for Windows will not recognize files located on an AS400
minicomputer or save files to network drives located on an AS400. To
properly access and save files to an AS400, place the following line
in the [Microsoft Word] section of the WIN.INI file:

   AS400=Yes


WIN.INI SETTINGS
================

The following is a partial list of the WIN.INI settings for Word for
Windows that are useful when running on a network. Consult the
"Microsoft Word for Windows User's Reference" for other WIN.INI
switches.

WIN.INI Setting          Description
---------------          -----------

DOT-PATH=pathname        The pathname of the directory where you want
                         to store document templates.

INI-PATH=pathname        The pathname of the directory where you want
                         to store WINWORD.INI.

UTIL-PATH=pathname       The pathname of the directory where you are
                         storing all of the spelling files (LEX-??.DLL
                         and LEX-??.DAT), the hyphenation file
                         (HYPH.DAT), the thesaurus files (SYN-??.DLL
                         and SYN-??.DAT), and the help file
                         (WINWORD.HLP).

DATEFORMAT=date-picture  Sets the default date format for Word
                         documents. If you omit this line, Word uses
                         the default format you set up in the Windows
                         Control Panel. The date-picture includes
                         the display separators between the parts of
                         the date. For example, M/d/yy displays dates
                         in the format 1/8/90. For more information,
                         see "DATE" in the "Fields" section (page 94)
                         of the "Microsoft Word for Windows User's
                         Reference."

TIMEFORMAT=time-picture  Sets the default time format for Word
                         documents. If you omit this line, Word uses
                         the default format you set up in the Windows
                         Control Panel. The time-picture is in the
                         form of: hh:mm:ss. For more information, see
                         "TIME" in the "Fields" section (page 110) of
                         the "Microsoft Word for Windows User's
                         Reference."

NovellNet=Yes            Required when using Word for Windows on a
                         Novell network to allow Word for Windows to
                         correctly check that a directory exists.

AS400=Yes                Required to properly access and save files on
                         an IBM AS400 minicomputer.
