## SYMPTOMS

If you open your Word Settings (5) file in Word 6.0 for the Macintosh and save the settings as a new Word 6.0 template [named Word Settings (5) Template], some of your Word 6.0 menus may contain duplicate commands.
For example, the following duplicate commands may appear:

- On the Format menu:

  > The Left Borders command appears six times.
  > The Box Borders command appears twice.
  > The Change Case command appears twice.
  > The Insert Cells and Delete Cells commands appear twice.
