FP98: Cannot Use Proofing Tools or Text Converters (194531)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q194531 For a Microsoft FrontPage 97 version of this article, see 160226.
SYMPTOMS
When you uninstall FrontPage, Office 95, or Office 97, the proofing
tools and text converters of the remaining programs may not work as
expected.
CAUSE
Microsoft FrontPage and Microsoft Office share the following
components:
- Proofing Tools (Spelling Checker, Thesaurus)
- Text Converters
If FrontPage is installed after Office 95, FrontPage will use the
installed proofing tools. If you then uninstall Office 95, the proofing
tools will be removed and will therefore be unavailable in FrontPage.
If FrontPage is installed over Office 95, FrontPage will upgrade the
existing text converters. If you then uninstall FrontPage 98, the
Msconv97.dll file will be removed and therefore the remaining text
converters will not function.
If FrontPage is installed after Office 97, and you then uninstall Office
97, the custom dictionary will be removed and will therefore be unavailable
to the spelling checker.
RESOLUTION
To resolve these problems, reinstall FrontPage 98 or the Proofing
Tools and Converters components of Office.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
