Word 2000 Options


   Option                     Description
   ------------------------------------------------------------------------

   AutoSave-Path              Sets the folder where AutoRecovery save files
                              are written to. The default location is
                              the C:\Windows\Temp folder.

   Bak-Extension              Sets the default extension for Word backup
                              files. The default extension is *.wbk.

   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.

   CacheSize                  Sets the size of the Word file cache (in KB).
                              You may be able to improve the speed of file
                              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
                              field. This is used only for backward
                              compatibility purposes. Word 2000 uses a

                              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.

   NoFontMRUList              Turns on or off the most recently used (MRU)
                              font list. You must restart Word for the
                              modifications to take effect. Enter either
                              0 or 1.

   Picture-Path               Sets the default path used when you choose
                              Insert Picture. You must restart Word before
                              this setting takes effect. You can also
                              use the File Locations tab (on Tools menu,
                              click Options) to modify the setting.

   ProgramDir                 Specifies where the Word program files are
                              located.

                              Default path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft
                              Office\Office

   SlowShading                Allows you to shade graphics by overriding a

                              Packard printers. Using this option slows
                              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.

                              Built-in default path: C:\Windows\Application
                              Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup

   TimeFormat                 Sets the default time format for the TIME
                              field. This is used only for backward
                              compatibility purposes. Word 2000 uses a
                              different format.

                              Example: h:mm:ss

   Tools-Path                 Sets a location in which Word searches for
                              proofing tools, filters, converters, and
                              certain other components, in the event that
                              they are not registered properly or cannot
                              be found in their standard directories.

   UpdateDictionaryNumber     Specifies the custom dictionary for the
                              spelling checker; the number corresponds
                              to the order of the custom dictionary
                              in the list in the Custom Dictionary
                              box in the Options dialog box of the
                              Spelling & Grammar tab.

   User-Dot-Path              Path for user templates. Note that when
                              this setting is changed for Word, it 
                              affects all the Microsoft Office 2000
                              applications, including the Office Shortcut
                              bar.
