MORE INFORMATION
The Business Tools And Templates option in the Microsoft Office 98 Value
Pack includes the Business Guide, checklists that complement the Business
Guide, and 43 small business templates for Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word,
and Microsoft PowerPoint.
Because of the way in which the Value Pack Installer is designed, it can
install only the Business Tools And Templates files if the Templates folder
exists in the Microsoft Office 98 folder on your hard disk. If this folder
has been deleted or renamed, none of the files are installed, and you
receive the error message that is described in this article.
For more information about the Business Tools and Templates, please open
the "About the Value Pack" Help file in the Value Pack folder on your
Microsoft Office 98 compact disc; then, click Value Pack Components and
click Business Tools And Templates.
