SUMMARY

The practice disk that is provided with the first printing of "Microsoft Word for Windows 95 Step by Step" does not properly set the Winword SBS Practice folder location in Favorites as it should.

RESOLUTION

The following steps correct this problem and allow you to access the practice files as described in the book:
  1. On the Standard toolbar, click the Open button. (See page 30, step 1 for additional help with this step.) The Open dialog box will appear.
  2. Click the down-arrow attached to the Look In box. From the list of available locations, select the C: hard disk.
  3. From the list of available directories now shown, double-click "Winword SBS Practice" (without the quotation marks). This will open the practice directory that you will be using for this book.
  4. Click the Add To Favorites button located just to the right of the Favorites button. Then select "Add 'Winword SBS Practice' to Favorites."
  5. In the File list box, double-click the file named 02Lesson (if you are working in Lesson 2), or close the Open dialog box by clicking the Close button (the button resembling an X) located in the top-right corner of the Open dialog box.
Once this set of steps is complete, the Winword SBS Practice folder will be available when you click the Favorites button. The steps given throughout the book are now accurate.
