Hi, Keith,

I have found that Windows accepts the spelling of the My Documents folder as
\mydocu~1 (that is: m y d o c u tilde 1).

Give that a try.

Duxbury 10.4 on Win98.  Which version of SWIFT do I need?  The version of
Office is 97.  Does the version of Word matter?  I can get the pull down
menu to pop up, but it keeps saying that it can not find or load my.  I
think it is saying my is because it is running into a space in the folder
name c:\my documents.

other folders, but I don't see where to do it now.  I changed Word's default
folder to C:\mydocuments with no space in the folder name.  Is there a
better way of doing this?
