======================================================================
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you try to start a wizard in Word for Windows, you may receive the
following error message:
 
   Error 1025: Cannot open the document
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This problem occurs when you are not loading Share in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
Word version 6.0 requires that you load Share in order to run its wizards
if you are running Word under Windows 3.1.
 
To add SHARE to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
 
1. Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
 
2. Add the entry below, where <dir> is the location of the directory that
   contains your MS-DOS files:
 
     <dir>\SHARE /L:500 /F:5100
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
To run Word 6.0 under Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.1 in standard
mode, you must run the MS-DOS SHARE command before starting Windows. Word
uses Share for object linking and embedding (OLE) version 2.0 operations.
Specifically, Share provides the range-locking functionality that Word uses
in compound files. Word 6.0 will not start under Windows 3.1 or Windows for
Workgroups 3.1 in standard mode unless SHARE.EXE is loaded.
 
You do not need SHARE.EXE if you run Word under Windows for Workgroups 3.1
in enhanced (386) mode or Windows for Workgroups 3.11. Windows for
Workgroups uses a comparable file-sharing utility called VSHARE.386. Word
6.0a includes a version of VSHARE.386 for Windows 3.1 users. If you are
using Word 6.0a and operating Windows in the 386 Enhanced mode, VSHARE.386
replaces the need to load the MS-DOS SHARE utility. Similarly, you do not
need SHARE.EXE if you run Word under Windows NT because this operating
system includes built-in range-locking functionality.
