- Installing the Replacement Graphics Filters
- -------------------------------------------
-
- The following are steps to install the updated graphics filters for
- Word for Windows. It is assumed that Word for Windows has been
- installed on your hard disk and that the graphics filters in question
- have also been previously installed in the same directory as Word for
- Windows. To install the replacement graphics filters, do the
- following:
-
- 1. Exit Windows and use the PKUNZIP.EXE program to unzip the
- downloaded file.
-
- 3. Once unzipped, copy all of the files to your WINWORD program
- directory (i.e. COPY *.FLT C:\WINWORD).
-
- The new graphics filters have now been installed. Start Windows, start
- Word for Windows, and use the Picture command on the Insert menu to
- insert TIFF, PCX, WMF, or EPS images.
-
- Note: If you need to revert to the previous filters, you must rerun
- the Word for Windows Setup program. To do this:
-
- 1. Exit Windows.
-
- 2. Insert the Word for Windows Setup disk in the floppy-disk drive.
- Make drive A active by typing a: and pressing enter. Type setup
- and press enter.
-
- 3. When prompted for a directory, choose the same drive and
- directory where Word for Windows is currently installed, for
- example, C:\WINWORD. You will then be asked whether Setup should
- overwrite existing files. Choose to skip the overwriting of
- existing files (if you choose to overwrite existing files, a
- full installation of the program will be done).
-
- 4. When prompted to install graphics filters, choose Yes. Choose
- the graphics filter(s) from the list provided and continue with
- Setup.
-
- In addition to the graphics filters residing in the Word for Windows
- program directory, the following information is added to the WIN.INI
- file during installation (the following example will vary depending
- upon the number of graphics filters installed):
