WD6X: Customized User Options Location Is Ignored (118776)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 6.0
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 6.0.1
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 6.0.1a
This article was previously published under Q118776 SYMPTOMS
Word ignores the file location you specify for User Options. (To locate
this item, from the Tools menu, choose Options, then choose the File
Locations tab.)
In addition, you cannot modify the file location by running the
ToolsAdvancedSettings command to override the Word Settings (6) file
location. (To locate this command, choose Macro from the Tools menu. From
the Macros Available In list, select Word Commands. ToolsAdvancedSettings
will appear in the Macro Names list.)
CAUSE
The User Options setting corresponds to the location of the Word Settings
(6) file. This file is located in the Preferences folder in the System
folder. Even though Word will allow you to modify this setting, Word will
look only in the Preferences folder for the Word Settings (6) file.
RESOLUTION
Ensure that the User Options setting is set to the Preferences Folder in
the System Folder. Any other setting will be ignored.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the
Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
