Obtaining Word Pro LotusScript Help

Help for LotusScript was not provided in your Word Pro package. You can obtain these Help files through the Internet, through CompuServe, or from Lotus customer support bulletin board services (BBS)

LotusScript Help is only necessary if you plan to use the Script programming language to develop scripts. You do not need it to record and play simple scripts.

If Word Pro is installed from a CD-ROM

When you install Word Pro, three files install as placeholders for the actual LotusScript Help files. If you purchased Word Pro or SmartSuite on a CD-ROM, you can replace two of those placeholder files with their Help file counterparts. These two Help files cover the LotusScript language and the Lotus Script Editor.

You can replace the third placeholder file with the Word Pro object model Help file which is available through Support  BBS, Compuserve or the Internet. The instructions for obtaining this Help file are provided below.

To replace the placeholder files with the LotusScript language and the Lotus Script Editor Help files, you must copy the Help files from the CD-ROM to the same folder as their placeholder files, after you install Word Pro. The Help files are located in the \EXTRA\HELPFILE folder of the CD-ROM. You can find out where the installer placed the placeholder files by searching the Registry as described below.

Replacing the LotusScript Help placeholder files:

1.	From Windows choose Start - Run.

2.	Type REGEDIT in the "Command Line" box.

3.	Click OK.

4.	Choose Edit - Find.

5.	Type "LSEN30EN.HLP" in the box.

6.	Click Find Next.

  Tip

7.	When REGEDIT has found the entry for LSEN30EN.HLP, click Cancel.

Take note of the folder listed for the file LSEN30EN.HLP.

8.	Switch to Windows Explorer or My Computer.

9.	Copy the file LSEN30EN.HLP from the \EXTRA\HELPFILE folder on the CD-ROM to the folder you noted after Step 7.

10.	Switch back to REGEDIT.

11.	Repeat Steps 4 - 10 for the LSLN30EN.HLP file.

12.	Choose Registry - Exit.

If prompted, do not save changes you have made.

Obtaining LotusScript Help from Lotus Customer Support Bulletin Board Service (BBS)

You can order the disks containing LotusScript Help and export filters from Lotus Customer Support. Follow these steps to obtain the telephone number and instructions for the customer support  BBS in your country:

1.	In Word Pro, choose Help - Topics.

2.	Click the Customer Support icon.

3.	Go to   the Bulletin Board Services section.

Obtaining LotusScript Help from CompuServe

If you subscribe to CompuServe, you can download LotusScript Help and the export file filters. In CompuServe, visit the Lotus Word Processing forum (type GO LOTUSWP).

Obtaining LotusScript Help through the Internet

If you have an Internet connection, you can download the filters or Help from the Lotus web site or the Lotus FTP server.

The URL for the Lotus web site is:

http://www.lotus.com/devtools/2196.htm

To access the Lotus FTP server, your computer should have a WinSock-based connection to the Internet. WinSock is a layer between Internet client applications and the user's LAN or modem-based SLIP or PPP dial-in connection. Most commercial Internet software for Windows 3.1, NT, or Windows 95 is based on the WinSock API.

You may use any stand-alone FTP client to retrieve files. The FTP site is located at:

ftp://192.216.79.100/pub/desktop

The Lotus Word Pro files are in several directories beginning at:

/WordPro

Follow the directions provided with your FTP client for downloading files.

Obtaining LotusScript Help if you don't have a modem

If you don't have a modem you can still receive the Lotus Script Help files by completing and returning the coupon in your WordPro or SmartSuite package.


You may find it easier to repeat Steps 5 and 6 for each of the placeholder files before you replace the placeholder files with the real Help files.
