BatchConversion Macro Works Incorrectly on Novell NetWare

ID: Q115149

6.00 6.00a 6.00c WINDOWS kbnetwork

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

SYMPTOMS

When you use the BatchConversion macro supplied with Word for Windows, directories located on a Novell NetWare server may not be displayed. The root directory of the network drive and up to one subdirectory will appear, but no further subdirectories will be available. This happens when you select either a source or destination directory.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0, 6.0a and 6.0c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

Method 1: Copy the files to a local drive to be converted.

Method 2: Use the Novell MAP ROOT command to map a drive letter to the

          exact subdirectory desired.
