ID: Q138715

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

The practice disk that is provided with the first printing of "Microsoft Word for Windows 95 Step by Step" does not properly set the Winword SBS Practice folder location in Favorites as it should.

MORE INFORMATION

Most of these books contain the following correction notice label located on the practice disk envelope:

IMPORTANT! You will not be able to find the practice files on your computer by following the instructions as they now appear in this book. Please note the following changes:

Replace page 24, Step 2 with: If the Winword SBS Practice folder is not currently displayed in the Save In box, click in the Save In box and then from the list that appears, click the C: hard disk. Next double-click the Winword SBS Practice folder icon.

Replace page 30, Step 3 with: If a folder name other than Winword SBS Practice appears in the Look In box, click in the Look In box and then from the list that appears, click the C: hard disk.

This information applies to this copy of "Microsoft Word for Windows 95 Step by Step."

The above correction notice label is all that is necessary to use this book.

RESOLUTION

Alternatively, the following steps correct this problem and allow you to access the practice files as described in the book.

Add the "Winword SBS Practice" folder to the Favorites folder:

1. On the Standard toolbar, click the Open button. (See page 30, step 1, 

   for additional help with this step.) The Open dialog box appears.
2. Click the down-arrow attached to the Look In box. From the list of 
   available locations, select the C: hard disk.
3. From the list of available directories now shown, double-click "Winword 
   SBS Practice" (without the quotations). This opens the practice
   directory that you will be using for this book.
4. Click the Add To Favorites button located just to the right of the 
   Favorites button. Select "Add 'Winword SBS Practice' to Favorites".
5. In the file list box, double-click the file named 02Lesson (if you are 
   working in Lesson 2 right now), or close the Open dialog box by clicking
   the Close button (the button resembling an X) located in the top-right
   corner of the Open dialog box.
Once this set of steps is complete, the Winword SBS Practice folder will be available when you click the Favorites button. The steps given throughout the book are now accurate.
