-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you run the installation program for the online book from the \Ebook
folder, the installation program title will be "Running Microsoft Office 97,
Updated Edition," not "Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications."

The icon created on your desktop will be labeled "Running Microsoft Office 97,
Updated Edition."

In the Add/Remove Programs applet of the Control Panel, the program will appear
as "Running Microsoft Office 97, Updated Edition."

If you run the electronic book from the "Running Microsoft Office 97, Updated
Edition" icon, the "Microsoft Manual of Style" electronic book will appear and
run normally.

CAUSE
=====

The title string was incorrectly set in the installation program for the
electronic book.

WORKAROUND
==========

To change the icon so that it reads correctly, follow these steps:

1. Right click the "Running Microsoft Office 97, Updated Edition" icon.

2. Click Rename.

3. Type "Microsoft Manual of Style" (without the quotation marks) and then press
  ENTER.

To uninstall the program, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2. Click Add/Remove Programs.

  Edition" and then click Add/Remove.

STATUS
======

Technical Publications, Second Edition.

MORE INFORMATION

problems. The information on the CD-ROM is for the Microsoft Manual of Style,
not for "Running Microsoft Office 97, Updated Edition." Only the installation
program is incorrect.
