SPECIAL NOTE TO OS/2 USERS
--------------------------

If you experience problems (for example, general
protection faults) when running multiple sessions of Word
under OS/2 or when running Word in the background, you
may need to patch the OS/2 file MOUCALLS.DLL to correct
the problems. Because MOUCALLS.DLL is permanently loaded
by OS/2 and could be accessed any time by an application,
patching it requiresspecial precautions.

1. Create a directory called C:\NEWMOUSE by typing:
      MD C:\NEWMOUSE <Enter>

2. Backup your CONFIG.SYS file by typing:
      COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS C:\CONFIG.MOU <Enter>

3. Load your CONFIG.SYS file into Word and edit the
   LIBPATH line to add C:\NEWMOUSE as the first directory
   in the line. For example, if the current line is :
      LIBPATH=C:\OS2;C:\LANMAN
   change it to:
      LIBPATH=C:\NEWMOUSE;C:\OS2;C:\LANMAN

4. Locate the file MOUCALLS.DLL on your hard drive. It is
   probably in the C:\OS2 directory. If not, it is
   certainly in one of the directories listed in the
   LIBPATH statement in C:\CONFIG.SYS.

5. Copy MOUCALLS.DLL to the C:\NEWMOUSE directory by
   typing:
      COPY C:\OS2\MOUCALLS.DLL C:\NEWMOUSE <Enter>

6. Restart your computer.

7. Change to the C:\OS2 directory (or to the directory
   where the original MOUCALLS.DLL was) by typing:
      CD C:\OS2 <Enter>

8. Patch MOUCALLS.DLL using the OS/2 PATCH.EXE utility
   by typing the following:
      C:\OS2\PATCH MOUCALLS.DLL <Enter>

   When the message
   "Enter the hexadecimal offset of patch:" appears,
   type:
      1432 <Enter>

   When the old value 1A at the offset appears  at
   the highlight, type:
      1C <Enter>

   When the message
   "Do you want to continue patching MOUCALLS.DLL?
    (Y/N)" appears, type: N

   When the message "Do you want these patches applied
   to MOUCALLS.DLL? (Y/N)" appears, type: Y.

   You will return to the OS/2 prompt.

9. Restore the original CONFIG.SYS by typing:
      COPY C:\CONFIG.MOU C:\CONFIG.SYS <Enter>
      DEL C:\CONFIG.MOU <Enter>

10. Restart your computer.

11. Remove the C:\NEWMOUSE directory you created
    temporarily by typing:
      DEL C:\NEWMOUSE\*.*
      RD C:\NEWMOUSE


If you have a copy of DOS on a floppy disk and are
familiar with the DOS DEBUG.COM utility, you can also
patch MOUCALLS.DLL by starting DOS from drive A: and
using DEBUG to patch hexadecimal offset 1432 from value
1A to value 1C.
