I cannot start Word 5.0 in a window (enhanced mode, of course), but I can start Word with full screen and then change it to a window.. Should I modify something in the PIF? (The error message is "..You cannot start this application when other high-resolution application.....", but closing other application did not help) Kan

The solution would be to look in your Word manuals for an option to run in text mode (it has been a while since I've used Word for DOS, but I think there is an option for this). Word uses graphics mode so you can see italics, bold, underlined properly, when you run Word in text mode all of these things turn into colored text. Curt Johnson == curt@cctb.wa.com

Are you really sure of that? The symptoms seem to indicate that Win3 thinks W5 is a graphics application. Does your mouse pointer look like an arrow or a block? It looks like a block in text mode. Alt-F9 toggles between the two modes. -- Marshall L.

I can start it with full screen and then use 'alt-enter' to make it windowed without changing anything. Kan

(The error message is "..You cannot >start this application when other high-resolution application.....", but >closing other application did not help) I think that you only can run a windowed dos-application in a resolution that is less then your windows resolution. Example: If you run windows in VGA mode then your dos-appl's in a window can use EGA as it highest resolution. Try to installed Word 5.0 for EGA instead. /Lars Nilsson -- Lars Nilsson Ericsson Telecom AB , Stockholm - Sweden E-mail: etxsral@california.ericsson.se Fidonet: Lars Nilsson @ 2:201/108.7

No, it doesn't. Microsoft mouse (at least the busmouse) ALWAYS looks like
an arrow.

Thank you for all the replys, especially the one who recommended me to restall Word in EGA mode. I did and now I can 'window' it. Kan
