The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, versions 4.0, 4.0a, 4.0b
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
=======
 
In Maintenance Mode Setup, all OLE servers are listed as installed, even
though you did not install all the servers during a custom Setup. When you
try to use the OLE servers, they are unavailable.
 
These servers, located in the Accessories installation category, include:
Equation Editor, Word Art, Microsoft System Information tool, MS Works File
Updater and Setup.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works version 4.0 for the
Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
To install the rest of the OLE servers, you must run Works Maintenance Mode
Setup twice.
 
1. In the Microsoft Works 4.0 folder, run Microsoft Works Setup. This
   should start the Maintenance Mode Setup.
 
2. Click the Add/Remove option
 
3. On the Installed Components list, click the arrow  to the left of the
   Accessories box so all individual servers are displayed.
 
4. Clear any servers marked as installed that you didn't actually install.
   Click Continue.
 
5. When Setup finishes, start Microsoft Works Setup
   again, following steps 1-3.
 
6. In the Accessories box, select the Servers you cleared in step 4
 
7. Click Continue.
 
Your OLE servers should now function and list correctly in future
maintenance setups.
