SYMPTOMS
========

If you install both Microsoft Bookshelf 2000 and Microsoft Encarta World English

     toolbar, but the Encarta World English Dictionary 2000 button does not.

   - When you start Microsoft PowerPoint or Word, and then click Look Up
     Reference on the Tools menu, Bookshelf 2000 is listed in the "Available
     reference titles" box, but Encarta World English Dictionary 2000 is not.

   - When you click the Encarta Dictionary QuickShelf button on the taskbar,
     Encarta World English Dictionary 2000 does not start.

- Encarta World English Dictionary 2000 is integrated with Office 2000, but
  Bookshelf 2000 is not:

   - When you start Word, both the Encarta World English Dictionary 2000 and

CAUSE
=====

This behavior can occur if either of the following conditions are true:

  occur if you install Encarta World English Dictionary 2000 before you install
  Bookshelf 2000.

- The second symptom mentioned in the "Symptoms" section of this article can
