Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

THE DIRECTORY OR FILENAME IS NOT VALID.
 
Word searched for a particular file, but the path
or filename you specified does not exist.
 
1. Choose Search in the File Management dialog
   box again.
2. Retype the pathname correctly. Remember, the
   pathname begins with the drive name. For
   example, type C:\WORD\FILES to search the
   \FILES subdirectory of the \WORD directory
   on the C: drive.
