========================================================================
REMOVING BOOKSHELF '94

Office '95 Setup does not automatically remove Bookshelf '94 from
your computer. To remove Bookshelf '94:


1.  If you have installed Bookshelf '94 as part of Office 4.3 and Bookshelf, and you have already upgraded to Office for Windows '95, you need to manually remove the Bookshelf '94 files from your hard drive. Delete the Quickshelf icon/shortcut from the startup group. Make sure that you do not have any personal data files in the Bookshelf '94 program directory, and delete. Lastly, remove the bsh.wll from your Winword startup folder.

2.  If you have installed Bookshelf '94 from the Bookshelf standalone package, re-run Setup for Bookshelf '94 and choose "Remove All." (This removes only the Bookshelf-specific files. Shared files, such as DLL's and DRV's, installed in the Windows System directory are not removed.)

You may also need to do the following:

* If you have moved the Bookshelf '94 and/or QuickShelf icon into a
  different Program Group since installing the application, Setup will
  not be able to detect the new location of the icon and delete it from
  Program Manager. After running Remove All from Setup, delete the
  icon(s) from Program Manager. 

* The BOOKS94 directory (or whatever directory was identified as the
  destination directory during setup) will not be removed. If this
  directory is not being used for other files, use File Manager or the 
  Explorer to delete the directory. 

========================================================================
GENERAL USAGE NOTES

* When copying 256-color images, be aware that unless you copy to a
  program that can handle 256 colors, such images will appear in
  16 colors.

* Pictures copied from Bookshelf using the Copy to Word command will
  include the caption, but pictures copied using the Copy Picture 
  command will not.

* The Pronunciation Key pop up included in the Bookshelf Dictionary
  can be copied to the Clipboard by pressing CTRL+C.

* Under Windows 95, it is important to not remove the Bookshelf '95
  disc immediately after inserting it. Please wait for the Microsoft
  Bookshelf '95 box to appear and choose Cancel. Once the box has
  closed, it is safe to remove the disc.

Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16/16ASP
---------------------------------------
Compressed audio clips may fail to play if you are using a Sound
Blaster 16 or Sound Blaster 16 ASP sound card. For example, you may
not be able to play any sounds in the Dictionary, but animations in
the Encyclopedia may play correctly. This problem occurs because some
computers are unable to use the 16-bit DMA (direct memory access)
channel on the Sound Blaster cards.

To correct this problem, switch the HDMA channel to use DMA or
8-bit DMA. You must change this setting in the following two places:

1. The Drivers dialog box in the Windows Control Panel.
2. The SBCONFIG.EXE configuration program included with the Sound
   Blaster cards.

To change the settings, follow these steps:

1. Choose the Drivers icon in the Windows Control Panel.
2. Select the Sound Blaster 16 Wave/Midi driver and choose Setup.
3. Under the HDMA setting, set the selection to DMA.
4. Choose OK. Choose Do Not Restart Now.
5. Exit Windows.
6. At the MS-DOS prompt, switch to the SB16 directory and run
   SBCONFIG.EXE.
7. Follow the instructions provided by this configuration program.
   It assists you in selecting and testing the following variables:

	Variable		Select
	========        	========
	Base I/O port		Autoscan
	MidiPort address	Autoscan
	DMA interrupt		Current
	8-bit DMA		Current
	16-bit DMA		Use 8-bit DMA
	
   After you have finished making these selections, the SBCONFIG
   program will restart your computer.

8. Restart Windows.

Compressed audio should now play correctly.

For more information about Sound Blaster cards and about this
problem, contact Creative Labs technical support at (405) 742-6622.

Sound Blaster is manufactured by Creative Technology Ltd., a vendor
independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,
regarding this product's performance or reliability.


Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum
-------------------------------
Audio clips may sound "scratchy" (that is, distorted) when

problem, change the Media Vision driver DMA setting to 7.

To change the driver settings:

1. Choose the Drivers icon in the Windows Control Panel.
2. Select the Media Vision Wave/MIDI/Aux driver and choose Setup.
3. Under the DMA setting, set the selection to 7.
4. Choose OK. Choose Restart Now.

Turtle Beach Monte Carlo
------------------------
When using the Turtle Beach Monte Carlo sound card, sounds may play
correctly the first time then fail on subsequent attempts. To correct
this problem, run the Monte Carlo driver utility and change the setup
to use the Standard drivers and not the V-synth driver. Audio clips
should now play correctly.

Aztech Labs (AZI)
-----------------
You may experience problems playing compressed wave audio when using
any of the following Aztech Labs (AZI) sound cards:

- Multimedia Pro
- NX Pro 16
- Sound Galaxy Basic 16
- Sound Galaxy Pro 16

To resolve the problem try the following:

1. Add a D=64 parameter at the end of the Device=EMM386 line in the
   CONFIG.SYS file. For example, if your EMM386.EXE file is in the DOS
   directory on drive C, you would use the following line:
	Device=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE D=64.

2. Change the DMABufferSize setting in the [386enh] section of the
   SYSTEM.INI file to "DMABufferSize=064" (without the quotation marks).
   If the line does not exist, add it. 

3. Do the following:
	1. Note the driver listed in the Wave= line in the [drivers]
	   section of the SYSTEM.INI file.
	2. Find the section by that name in the SYSTEM.INI file.
	   For example, if Wave=mm16.drv, find the [mm16.drv] section.
	3. Add a "SingleModeDMA=True" line (without the quotation marks)
	   to this section.
	4. If the driver in the Control Panel for the particular AZI
	   card has separate 8-bit and 16-bit DMA settings, try setting
	   the 16-bit to None.

Some 16-bit AZI sound card drivers do not have separate 8-bit and
16-bit DMA settings. If the problem still persists, you may need a sound
driver update. For more information, contact Aztech Labs technical
support at (800) 886-8879 or Sound Galaxy Support at (510) 623-8988.

BOOKSHELF '95 DISPLAY

Requirements
------------
Microsoft Bookshelf '95 requires a 256-color display to run.
If your computer's display is less than 256 colors, you need to install
a 256 color driver, or obtain one from your video card's manufacturer.

A set of generic 256 color drivers (which support most non-accelerated
Super VGA adapters) has been included on the Microsoft Bookshelf '95 
disc (see the README.TXT supplied with the drivers for more information 
on supported video adapters). The file (SVGA.EXE) is located in the
D:\AAMSSTP\VIDEO directory (assuming D:\ is the drive letter of your
CD-ROM).

Note: Video adapters based on the S3 chip set will not work with the
generic 256 color driver (SVGA.EXE). In this case you will find specific
S3 drivers (also located in the D:\AAMSSTP\VIDEO directory) for these
video adapters. The driver you select depends on the specific S3
chip set your video adapter uses. For more information on the version of
the S3 chip set your video card uses, see the user's manual included
with your video card. Once you have determined the version of the S3
chip set your video card supports, use the following table to determine
which file to copy to your hard disk.

	Chip set	Copy file
	=======		=========
	801/805		S3-801.EXE
	924		S3-924.EXE
	928		S3-928.EXE

To install the driver, you will first need to copy the appropriate
driver file from the D:\AAMSSTP\VIDEO directory on the Microsoft
Bookshelf '95 CD to your hard disk (Note: do not copy this file to
the C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories).

Once the file has been copied to the hard disk you will need to
"extract" the video driver by either typing the name of the file
and pressing the Enter key from the MS-DOS prompt (i.e., SVGA <Enter>)
or by double-clicking on the file (SVGA.EXE) in the File Manager. 

Once the files are extracted, complete the installation of the
video driver by opening the DISPLAY.TXT file located in the directory
where the expanded video driver resides. Find the section entitled
"Installing a Display Driver" and follow the steps.

For further information on installing a different display driver,
choose Contents from the Help menu in the Windows Setup application
or consult your Windows documentation.


Display Problems
---------------------
In some situations, Bookshelf '95 may encounter video display
problems when using high-resolution video drivers from various
video card manufacturers. The problems include:

* Images and illustrations appearing grainy or having "glitches." 

* Videos displaying garbled images or causing General Protection Faults.

Most problems can be fixed by obtaining new drivers from your
video card manufacturer. Contact the manufacturer of your video
card to determine if there are newer versions available. Their
phone number should be in the manuals that came with your video
card or personal computer. Another option for obtaining updated
drivers is the Microsoft Download Service, an electronic bulletin
board that can be accessed via a modem at (206) 936-MSDL (6735).


Font Display Problems
---------------------
Bookshelf '95 uses TrueType fonts for its display. If you receive 
a message stating that one of the fonts is unavailable, make sure
that TrueType fonts are enabled on your computer.  

1. From the Windows Control Panel, select Fonts and then click
   the TrueType button. 
2. In the TrueType dialog box, make sure the Enable TrueType Fonts
   check box is selected (an X appears in the check box when it is
   selected).
3. If the Enable TrueType Fonts check box is selected, then go back
   to the Fonts dialog box and click the Help button for more
   information on adding fonts. 

To view fonts currently installed in Windows, open the Control Panel.
From the Control Panel, select Fonts. Fonts currently in use by 
Windows are listed in the Installed fonts box.

Bookshelf '95 uses and installs the following TrueType fonts:

- Arial (TrueType)
- Arial Bold (TrueType)
- Arial Bold Italic (TrueType)
- Arial Italic (TrueType)
- Bookshelf Symbol 1 (TrueType)
- Bookshelf Symbol 2 (TrueType)
- Bookshelf Symbol 3 (TrueType)
- Symbol (TrueType)

If any of the above are missing, run the Bookshelf '95 Setup program
and choose Remove All. Once Setup is complete re-run the Bookshelf '95
Setup program to reinstall Bookshelf '95.

========================================================================
INTEGRATION WITH MICROSOFT WORD AND MICROSOFT EXCEL

Bookshelf '95 offers several features which make working with Microsoft 
Word easier. Under Windows 95, Bookshelf also adds these features to 
Microsoft Excel 7.0.


DEFINE MENU SUPPORT IN MICROSOFT EXCEL 7.0
------------------------------------------
You can define any word in Microsoft Excel 7.0 with just a click by 
following the procedure below.

The following directions assume your hard disk drive is drive C;
that Bookshelf '95 is installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Reference
\Bookshelf 95; and that Microsoft Excel 7.0 is installed in 
C:\Msoffice\Excel.

1. Make sure you are not running Microsoft Excel 7.0 or Bookshelf '95.
2. Copy C:\Program Files\Microsoft Reference\Bookshelf 95\bshdef.xla to 
   C:\Msoffice\Excel\XLStart.

The next time you start Microsoft Excel, you will see the Define item 
when you right-click on a cell.

Note: This may slow Microsoft Excel's startup time a little.

========================================================================
NOTES ON ADDRESS BUILDER

In some instances the Address Builder may be unable to suggest a ZIP
code based on a street address alone. In this case, try using a city
name (spell it correctly) and/or a state name to narrow down ZIP code
information.

========================================================================
NOTES ON THE SPELLING FEATURE

* The Automatic Spelling feature is unable to check multiple words.

* The Automatic Spelling feature functions in three places in
  Bookshelf: the Contents Tab, Find Tab, and Advanced Find dialog.
  When the Spelling dialog box comes up from the Contents Tab, it
  uses a custom dictionary that has only Table of Contents items.
  When the Spelling dialog box comes up from either the Find Tab or
  Advanced Find dialog, it uses the standard spelling dictionary. 

========================================================================
