MS Word Reports with "Bad" Header

When using the Microsoft Word report feature in C2 Version 4.50 I get multiple header lines and a bad Table of Contents. I believe this is somehow associated with running 4.40 on the same computer. (I occasionally receive files from an offsite source using 4.40) What is the easiest way to correct this.

(Surprisingly, I couldn't find any info in the archives or News Letters.)

You need to register the 4.50 DLL. This should have happened automatically at installation, assuming you had the proper "rights". Go to [Start\Run] and issue this command:

"regsvr32 c:\caesar450\outword.dll [Enter]"

Replace "c:\caesar" with your pathname. Also note that if your pathname contains spaces, the entire path must be enclosed in double quotes.

This will get Version 4.50 working properly. If you then need to use the Word interface in Version 4.40, you'll have to register that version of outword.dll (Windows only lets you have one DLL of a given name registered at any particular time).

So if you switch back and forth a lot, and you use Word with each version, you'll need to be re-registering this DLL a lot.

(In Version 5.00, we dumped all this "COM" stuff so nothing needs to be registered.)

Thanks, Richard. It's working fine now.
