WD98: Templates and Add-ins "Missing" After Word 98 Upgrade (178027)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q178027 SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade to Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition, the "Templates and
Add-ins" you had in Microsoft Word version 6.0 appear to be missing after you
start Word 98.
CAUSE
This functionality is by design. When you upgrade to Word 98 Macintosh Edition
(install over Word 6 for the Macintosh), all templates and add-ins that were
kept in the Word Startup Folder (6) are not copied to the Startup:Word Folder.
In addition, the settings in the Templates And Add-ins dialog box are also lost
after you upgrade to Word 98.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, copy or move the templates and add-ins you want
from the Word Startup Folder (6) to the Startup:Word folder. For Word 98, the
startup folder is:
Macintosh HD:Microsoft Office 98:Office:Startup:Word
For Word 6.x, the startup folder is:
Macintosh HD:System Folder:Preferences:Word Startup Folder (6)
NOTE: If you renamed your hard disk, substitute that name in place of Macintosh
HD in the preceding folders.
