Word95: ToolsAdvancedSettings Command Creates Empty Macro (138728)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q138728 SYMPTOMS
When you type in ToolsAdvancedSettings into the Tools Macro dialog box, the
Description shows "Changes advanced options in the initialization
(WINWORD6.INI and WIN.INI) files" but when you press ENTER, a blank macro
is created.
CAUSE
The ToolsAdvancedSettings macro works only with Word version 6.0. To change
Word's initialization settings in Word 7.0, you must edit the Windows
Registry using the RegOptions macro.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
WORKAROUND
The RegOptions macro duplicates the functionality of this command. It
allows you to directly modify the Registry entries for Word 7.0. All
information previously stored in the Winword6.ini and Win.ini files is now
contained in the Registry.
This macro is located in the Macros7.dot template in the
MSOffice\Winword\Macros folder.
To use this macro, do the following:
- On the File menu, click Templates.
- Click Add.
- Change to the Macros subfolder under Winword (for example,
C:\Msoffice\Winword\Macros).
- Select the Macros7.dot file and click OK. This step adds the Macros7
template to the "Global Templates and Add-ins" box. Click OK.
- On the Tools menu, click Macro.
- In the Macros Available In list, click "Macros7.dot (Global Template)."
In the Macro Name list, click RegOptions and then click Run.
