   AutoSave-Path              Sets the folder where AutoRecovery save files
                              are written to. The default location is

   BitMapMemory               Sets the maximum size of the Word bitmap
                              cache (in KB). If you use many graphics in
                              your documents, a larger bitmap cache may
                              improve scrolling and screen redraw speed.
                              When set to 1, Word automatically
                              adjusts the bitmap cache size.

                              I/O and other operations in Word by
                              increasing the cache size. The minimum and
                              default cache size is 64K.

   DateFormat                 Sets the default data format for the DATE

                              take effect.

   INI-Path                   Path for user options. This is used only for
                              backward compatibility purposes. Note that
                              Word 2000 user options are stored in the
                              Windows registry or internally.

                              this setting takes effect. You can also
                              use the File Locations tab (on Tools menu,
                              click Options) to modify the setting.

                              printing. If a printer does not support this
                              special drawing function, the switch has no
                              effect. Enter 0 for No, 1 for Yes.

   Startup-Path               Sets the path for Word startup files, such as
                              templates and WLLs to load when starting
                              Word.

                              they are not registered properly or cannot

                              this setting is changed for Word, it 
                              affects all the Microsoft Office 2000
                              applications, including the Office Shortcut
