The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Project for Windows 95 4.1
  • Microsoft Project for Windows 95 4.1a
This article was previously published under Q167769

MORE INFORMATION

The incorrect instruction in Step 8 of the Readme.txt file is:

   In the Command/Macro field type:

      run "c:\program files\projhtml\projhtml.exe"

   and press ENTER. Make sure the quotes are included after the word
   run. If you installed the converter to a different location,
   include the correct path in place of "c:\program files\projhtml."

SYMPTOMS

When you follow Step 8 of the instructions in the Readme.txt file included with the Microsoft Project HTML converter, you receive the following error message when you press ENTER:
Unknown Command.

CAUSE

The information listed in Step 8 of the Readme.txt file is incorrect. Microsoft Project does not support the Run command.

RESOLUTION

  1. Start Microsoft Project.
  2. On the Tools menu, point to Customize, and then click Menu Bars.
  3. In the Menu Bars list box, click Standard, and then click Edit.

    The Menu Bar Definition dialog box appears.
  4. In the Menu Definition table, under Tools, click Customize.
  5. Click Insert Row.

    An empty row appears. Note that the cell in the Menu Item column displays "Blank Item" in gray text.
  6. In the empty cell in the Menu Item column, type "HTML Converter" .
  7. In the empty cell in the Command/Macro column type the following command, and then press ENTER: 
           AppExecute command:="c:\program files\projhtml\projhtml.exe"
    NOTE: Be sure to include the quotation marks. If you installed the converter to a different location, type the correct path in place of "c:\program files\projhtml".
  8. In the Menu Definition table, under Tools, click Customize.
  9. Click Insert Row.
  10. In the empty cell in the Command column, assign the menu separator by selecting "-----(Separator)-----" from the entry bar list.
  11. Click OK.
