SYMPTOMS

You cannot start WordPerfect Office with the File Run command in Microsoft Windows 3.1.

CAUSE

The name of the main WordPerfect Office file is SHELL.EXE. When you choose the File Run command, Windows version 3.1 sees that SHELL.DLL is loaded and fails to run WordPerfect Office.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, start WordPerfect Office from the MS-DOS Command Prompt.
