Conference 7.286::digital

    There are loads of them.
    TRY ftp.cuhk.hk/pub/www/windows/util(I think) and you will find HTML
    assistant,CU_HTML(good) and some others which will all do what you
    want.

    And does not Microsoft nw provide a free add-on to MS-Word that will
    ouotput .html files? http://www.microsoft.com

RE: .0,.2


	What you want is the Microsoft Word Internet Assistant. A
	copy of the latest beta can be found at:

	http://www.microsoft.com/pages/deskapps/word/ia/default.htm

	I cranked out a number of documents using this. Works
	pretty good!

    Word Internet Assistant requires Word 6.0a or later.

    ftp.microsoft.com does not appear to be available..
    
    Can some kind soul put 6.0a and Internet Assistant in a public
    directory for the rest of us??
    
    Thanks,
    jeff
    

    The FTP site is intermittantly available-try again.You will find the
    WORDIA.EXE in the deskapps/word/ia directory and the relevant 6.0a
    upgrade in softlib/mslfiles...but it only works with the US version of
    WORD.
    I have put a copy on ANNECY::WORDIA.EXE but can't guarantee it will
    stay there for long

	There's also a copy in
	
	http://axel.zko.dec.com/kits/webstuff/wordia.exe

    Thanks!

    I've downloaded MS Internet Assistant, but being technologically
    challenged, I can't get the thing to work.
    
    Can anyone guide me through the process?
    
    Thanks in advance.

    Sure...
    
    Copy the WORDIA.EXE to an empty directory
    double click on WORDIA.EXE in the file manager.  This is a self
    	extracting program and will place a number of files in the
    	same directory.  One of these will be a SETUP.EXE
    double click on SETUP.EXE.  This will install it.  Follow the 
    	directions on the screen.
    
    That should do it!
    
    cheers,

	Re .7
	
	Axel, this URL doen't point anymore to wordia...

	Thanks in advance,

    Has anyone had a problem getting word to run after installing wordia?
    I get a message "winword caused a stack fault in module KRNL386.exe at
    0001:2387" Because NO documentation came with this PC, I am at a loss
    as to how to proceed from here.

    Thanks Jeff,
    
    I'll let you know if I can get off the cart path and on to Algore's
    INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY!!! (America the Beautiful, gently massaging my
    senses in the backgroun)

    	Microsoft's location tells you that it won't work unless the
    	version is 6.0 "followed by a letter" which I assume is
    	6.0a or later.  They have a free update kit at their web site.
    
    	Neil
    

So you don't caught by the same thing I did - ignore the version displayed
at Word startup - go into Help-About and it will tell you the real version.
If you have Word from the MS-Office 4.2 (or 4.3) CD, it's already 6.0a.

RE: .11

	Try http://axel.zko.dec.com/kits/webstuff/word/wordia.exe

    Ok,
    
    So I run Wordia.exe and everything's hunky dory.  When I run setup, it
    tells me I'm out of memory.  the help.txt tells me I need 4MB or so. 
    I've got 32mb main memory and about 30mb local disk.  This seems to me
    to meet the 4mb or so requirement.  And, of course,
    http://www.microsoft.com/pages/kb/deskapps/word/Q126927.htm (that's
    the page describing this particular error condition) is asleep, my
    system call "connect" failed.  
    
    So, do any of you folks have a workaround? 

    You are missing conventional (ie. below the 640K mark) memory. Windows
    apps, especially SETUP, require this memory (Yes! It's true!). As
    you're technologically challenged, it's difficult to know what to
    suggest. Re-boot your PC, and when you see the words "Starting MS-DOS"
    hit the F5 key; then try SETUP again. If it still fails, then we'd
    better take it off-line.
    
    Cheers, Laurie.

    Ah, but this won't work either. Windows refuses to run until a memory
    manager is loaded. :-(

    Oh how I love High Tech.......

    Memory Manager... yes, that's true, I'd forgotten that. Ok, format a
    floppy like this:
    
    FORMAT A:/S/U
    
    Then copy these two files to it:
    
    AUTOEXEC.BAT
    
    --- cut here ---
    
    @echo off
    path c:\dos;c:\bat;c:\windows;c:\
    win
    
    --- cut here ---
    
    CONFIG.SYS
    
    --- cut here ---
    
    files=60
    buffers=40
    stacks=9,256
    dos=high,umb
    lastdrive=z
    device=c:\dos\himem.sys/testmem:off
    device=c:\windows\ifshlp.sys
    
    --- cut here ---
    
    Then reboot the PC from the floppy. Assuming you have no device drivers
    driving your disks, this should be enough to get you up and running.
    
    Cheers, Laurie.

    Laurie,
    
    Please excuse what may be a dumb question, but I get nervous whenever I
    do anything to even a COPY of these files.  
    
    Anyway, are you telling me to cut those lines of code out, or to leave
    only those in?

    Go to the microsoft homepage at http://www.microsoft.com/
    You will not need to learn the HTMLanguage - its automatic and free
    
    Copy the "Internet Assistant"  from their BB
    
    You'll need Word V 6.0
    TCP/IP and a Winsock.dll

    Instead of hitting F5, try hitting F8.  This will let you choose which
    files to load during boot rather than just bypassing CONFIG.SYS and
    AUTOEXEC.BAT.
    
    Now, when the system asks if you want to process CONFIG.SYS, answer
    Yes, then when it asks you if you want to execute the line that says
    DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS (your path may be different... the main thing
    here is you are looking for HIMEM.SYS) answer YES... then you may say
    No to all the rest... 
    
    This will load the necessary memory manager so you will be able to run
    windows.  Then try setup from there.
    
    Tony

    I've done the F5 route, I've done the F8 route, I've Defragged,
    refragged, unfragged, and done everything except pour battery acid on
    the mother board.  
    
    I have 633,504 bytes of conventional memory available, a 15mb permanent
    swap file, about 15 mb free disk. MSDOS is using 13K, HIMEM is using
    1K, EMM386 is using 4K, COMMAND is using 3k.
    
    I have (I lied earlier) 16,777,216 total memory, 916,016 used, giving
    me 15,861,200 of available main memory.
    
    The last hint....I blew up a spreadsheet this morning because of a
    parity error, but my boot memory tests reveal no problems.
    
    I think I'm gonna go buy me a lobster boat.
    
    
    and btw, wordia setup still tells me I don't have enough memory.
    
    {{8^]
    
    

    So, how much GDI memory (system resources) do you have left?
    (Try Help About Program Manager)  If it's too low, that'll also cause
    out of memory errors.
    

    Aout Program Manager
    V3.1
    
    "Please contact your hardware manufacturer for Windows technical
    support"
    
    386 Enhanced Mode
    
    Memory:       22882KB Free  (must be including my swap file)
    
    System Resources:   72% free.

    well, all I can do now is punt.
    
    I'm not familiar at all with WORDIA or its SETUP.  Is this a program
    which is a Windows App?  Or is it a DOS app you are running from
    Windows.  If the former, I've nothing left to offer.  If it's a DOS
    app, is it possible that it requires Expanded memory?  If so, you'll
    need a provider (EMM396.EXE loaded from CONFIG.SYS) since Windows will
    only provide Extended memory resources by itself.
    
    If you want to try, put a DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM396.EXE in your CONFIG.SYS
    after the line which loads HIMEM.SYS and reboot and retry.  
    
    Good luck!
    
    tony

>>    If you want to try, put a DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM396.EXE in your CONFIG.SYS

Should that be EMM386?

    yup!  sure should.  
    
    i often experience that "law" of nature that dictates: the "fatness" of
    your finger is indirectly proportional to its distance from the
    keyboard.  I often type the wrong letter... which cause me much
    consternation and reduces what might otherwise be a fairly fast typing
    speed to a literal crawl.  8*)
    
    tony

If this happened to me, I would

1. check the file size of setup.exe against a known good. A corrupt
file can produce out of memory errors.

2. Check for a virus or two. I keep catching the form virus from
someone/where.

    Re: 3790.28
    
    Tony, WORDIA is a recently released (3/29/95 I believe) Windows app
    that converts MS Word 6.0a or c text into HTML 2.0 format, with some
    extensions.  Really a neat little system.  
    
    Thanks anyway.
    
    Re: 3790.31
    
    Pete, Virus scan reveals no viruses at boot.  I will however, download
    the file again to a new directory and compare file sizes to my current
    copy.  With any luck......
    
    Thanks.
    
    Re 3790.32
    
    Laurie,  Thanks for the clarification, I'll give it a try.  But with
    633KB available memory, I'm becoming convinced that there is something
    more fundamental, and sinister going on here.
    
    Thanks to all. Tune in later for the white smoke or the black smoke.
    
    

    Microsoft is off-line, so I haven't been able to download.
    
    By the way, maybe some of you might want to try to download the file
    and see if you get the same behavior.  Point your browser to
    Microsoft.com, select the >What's New section and follow the trail to
    Internet assistant.
    
    We'll try again tomorrow.
