FP97: Cannot Use Proofing Tools or Text Converters (160226)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows with Bonus Pack
This article was previously published under Q160226 For a Microsoft FrontPage 98 version of this article, see 194531.
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 97, the
Msconv97.dll file will be removed and 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.
WORKAROUND
To work around these problems, reinstall FrontPage 97 or the Proofing
Tools and Converters components of Office.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
