======================================================================
 
REMOVING BOOKSHELF '94
 
Bookshelf '95 Setup does not automatically remove Bookshelf '94 from
your computer. To remove Bookshelf '94, 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 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.
 
* Images copied from Bookshelf do not include captions.
 
* The Pronunciation Key pop up included in the Bookshelf Dictionary
  cannot be copied.

HARDWARE SPECIFIC NOTES
 
Cirrus Logic Driver
---------------------------------------
Cirrus Logic video drivers, v1.32, are incompatible with Video for
Windows 1.1. As a result, you may experience difficulties playing
animations and/or videos. To correct this problem upgrade to v1.43 of
the Cirrus Logic driver.
 
To update your Cirrus Logic video drivers, contact Cirrus Logic product
support at:
 
Cirrus Logic

reliability.
 
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
played from the Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum. To correct this
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.
 
Audio clips should now play correctly.
 
The Pro Audio Spectrum driver products included here are manufactured
by Media Vision, Inc., a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no
warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance
or reliability. For more information, call Media Vision, Inc. Technical
Support at 1-800-638-2807 or (510) 770-9905. On CompuServe, Media Vision
can be reached by typing GO MEDIAVISION at any prompt.
 
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.
 
For additional information about using the Monte Carlo or Turtle Beach
drivers, consult the documentation from the hardware provider. The
Turtle Beach driver products included here are manufactured by Turtle
Beach, Inc., a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty,
implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or
reliability. For more information, contact Turtle Beach technical
support at (510) 624-6200 (NOTE: This phone number was updated on 2/5/96.)
 
Roland Rap-10
---------------------------------------
When using the Roland Rap-10 sound card you may experience problems
playing compressed audio. To correct this problem, make sure that you
are using Roland Toolworks software version 3.7 or later.
 
The Roland driver products included here are manufactured by Roland,
Inc., a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied
or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.

Reveal MM Pro 16
---------------------------------------
Audio pronunciations may fail to play if you are using a Reveal MM
Pro 16 sound card. To avoid this problem, disable 16-bit audio by
setting the Reveal MM Pro 16 16-bit DMA channel to None, as follows:
 
1. From the Main group in Program Manager, run Control Panel and
   double-click the Drivers icon.
2. Select the MMPRO16 Wave/Midi/Aux driver and choose the Setup button.
3. Set 16-bit DMA channel to None.
 
The Reveal driver products referenced here are manufactured by Reveal,
a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or
otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
 
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.
 
The Aztech products discussed here are manufactured by Aztech, a
vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or
otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
 
======================================================================
 
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
CD(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 chipset 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 chipset your video adapter
uses.
 
For more information on the version of the S3 chipset your video card uses,
see the user's manual included with your video card. Once you have
determined the version of the S3 chipset your video card supports, use the
following table to determine which file to copy to your hard disk.
 
   Chipset        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 1995 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.
 
======================================================================
 
MANUAL INTEGRATION OF BOOKSHELF '95 WITH WORD FOR WINDOWS 6.0
 
Bookshelf-Word integration adds the following features to
Bookshelf '95 and Word for Windows 6.0:
 
- The Bookshelf Daily command and the Define command on the Word
  View menu.
 
- The Copy to Word command on the Bookshelf Edit menu.
 
Detailed information about how Bookshelf and Word work together
is available in Bookshelf's online Help.
 
If Word for Windows 6.0 is installed on your computer at the time
you install Bookshelf '95, the Bookshelf-Word integration should
occur automatically. If for some reason the automatic integration
fails, you can integrate the two applications manually.
 
The following directions assume your hard disk drive is drive C;
that Bookshelf '95 is installed in C:\BOOKS95; that Windows is
installed in C:\WINDOWS; that Word for Windows 6.0 is installed
in C:\WINWORD; and that your CD-ROM drive is drive X.
 
To manually integrate Bookshelf with Word for Windows 6.0:
 
1. Copy X:\WORD\BSH.WLL to C:\WINWORD\STARTUP.
 
2. Copy X:\AAMSSTP\APP\BS95CTW.EXE to C:\BOOKS95 directory.
 
3. After copying these files to the hard drive, you need to
   remove the Read Only attribute.
 
    To remove the Read Only attribute:
 
    a. From the Program Manager, open Main, then open File Manager.
 
    b. In the C:\WINWORD\STARTUP directory, select the BSH.WLL file.
 
    c. From the File menu, choose Properties.
 
    d. In the Attributes section, clear the Read Only check box.
 
    e. Choose OK.
 
    f. Repeat steps a through e for BS95CTW.EXE.
 
4. Use Notepad or any other text editor to add the following
   entry to the [Bookshelf] section of the WIN.INI file:
 
   [Bookshelf]
   Integration=2
   BSWordHelp=X:\BOOKS\BSHELF95.HLP
 
5. Use Notepad or any other text editor to add the following
   entry to the BSHELF95.INI:
 
   [Word]
   WordPath=C:\WINWORD\WINWORD.EXE
 
   [WordOTD]
   TipContext=0x8327
   TipMVB=wordtips.m11
   HelpFile=C:\WINWORD\WINWORD.HLP
 
Integration of Bookshelf '95 and Word for Windows 6.0 is
now complete.
 
======================================================================
 
NOTES ON QUICKSHELF
 
QuickShelf Keys and MS-DOS Use
------------------------------
 
QuickShelf keys allow you to look up selected text in Bookshelf
from any Windows application. However, you cannot bring up Bookshelf
using QuickShelf keys from an MS-DOS application or from the
MS-DOS prompt. Additionally, selected text in an MS-DOS application
will not be used to perform a QuickShelf lookup when using the
QuickShelf buttons. Other windows applications that do not copy text
in the standard way also may not work with QuickShelf.
 
QuickShelf and the Clipboard
------------------------------
 
Clicking a QuickShelf button or using a QuickShelf key combination
replaces the contents of the Clipboard.
 
Moving the QuickShelf Toolbar
------------------------------
 
Open the QuickShelf Customize menu by either right-clicking on the
Toolbar or by left-clicking the down arrow button at the right end of
the Toolbar, and then clicking Customize.  Click the Customize View
Tab, and then select either Regular buttons or Large buttons,
and click OK. QuickShelf now has a title bar you can click in and
then drag to a new location.
 
QuickShelf and the Automatic Spelling Feature
----------------------------------------------
 
Searches performed with QuickShelf are not spell checked.
In this case, keep Bookshelf open on your desktop as an icon;
this way you will have quick access to it.
 
QuickShelf and Bookshelf 1994
------------------------------
 
If you choose to keep Bookshelf 1994 installed on your computer,
you may find that trying to launch Bookshelf '95 from QuickShelf
will result in Bookshelf 1994 being started. To correct the
problem, close Bookshelf 1994 and launch Bookshelf '95 from the
Program Manager. The next time QuickShelf is used Bookshelf '95
will start.
 
======================================================================
 
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.
 
======================================================================
 
RUNNING ON MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT
 
The following are known issues related to using Bookshelf with
Windows NT. Where possible, solutions or workarounds are provided.
 
Creative Labs Sound Blaster AWE 32

QuickShelf Find on Windows NT
---------------------------------
 
When your machine is running Windows NT, you can experience problems
when you select a word in 32-bit applications and use QuickShelf to
perform a full-text search on the word in Bookshelf. Bookshelf will
appear but the search will not be performed because QuickShelf cannot
move the text out of the application running in NT.
 
Keep Bookshelf open on your desktop as an icon, so you have easy
access to it from other applications when you want to do a full-text
search on a word.
 
QuickShelf Keys and NT
----------------------
 
When your machine is running Windows NT, you can experience problems
when you use QuickShelf key combinations in 32-bit applications
because QuickShelf cannot move text out of these NT applications.
 
In this case, keep Bookshelf open on your desktop as an icon;
this way you will have quick access to it.
