ID: Q109870

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

The following .INI settings are not documented in the Word 6.0 for Windows WDREADME.HLP file:

WINWORD6.INI

[Microsoft Word]

NoLongNetNames=yes/no    Disables UNC filename support. The default is No.

OLEDOT=<templatename>    Sets the template that Word will use on new
                         Word document objects.

WIN.INI

[MAIL]

MAPIDLL=<pathname>       Sets the MAPI DLL for mail support to
                         anything other than the default. Used for VIM
                         support with the MAPIVIM.DLL file. <Pathname>
                         must point to the MAPI messaging DLL.

EQNEDIT.INI

[General]

ForceOpen=1/0            Sets in-place or open edit mode. Setting to 1
                         forces Equation Editor to always start in
                         Open mode for editing. The default is 0.

Note: Equation Editor 2.0 online Help (EQNEDIT.HLP) incorrectly states that the ForceOpen setting is in the WIN.INI. This is not true; the ForceOpen setting is located in the EQNEDIT.INI file, as stated here.
