SYMPTOMS

When you type in Field 2 on a notecard in Microsoft Encarta Research Organizer

CAUSE
=====

This behavior can occur if a newer version of the Riched32.dll file is installed
on your computer.

To resolve this issue, upgrade to Encarta Encyclopedia 2000.

To work around this issue, extract a copy of the Riched32.dll file from the

your hard disk.

NOTE: When you install an older version of the Riched32.dll file, you may cause

is the case, restore the newer version of the Riched32.dll file, or reinstall
the program that requires the newer version of the file.
