MORE INFORMATION

The following is the table listed on page 218 of the ORK: 


Office Shortcut Bar   Windows 95    Windows 95    Windows NT    Windows NT
Setting               640x480       800x600+      640x480       800x600+

Standard color        off           off           off           off
Note that if you use Microsoft Office version 7.0a or 7.0b and you are running Microsoft Windows NT, the information on the line referring to "Show ToolTips" is incorrect. (Note that these two incorrect values are in capital letters.) The correct line should read as follows: 

   Show ToolTips      on            on            OFF            OFF
The "Show title screen" line also contains misleading information. The line implies that every time you start the Office Shortcut Bar, the Office title screen will be displayed. In actuality, the Office title screen, by default, is displayed only the first time you bring up the Office Shortcut Bar after you install Microsoft Office. The correct line should read as follows: 

   Show title screen  OFF           OFF           OFF            OFF
NOTE: The compact disc that is shipped with the ORK also contains the table with the incorrect values.
