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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.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 PORT NAME IS NOT VALID.
 
Word does not recognize the port name you typed
in the Connect To list box. Specify the port on
your computer that connects to your printer. (The
port is a connector on the back of the computer
where you attach printers and other devices.)
 
■ Select a different port name in the Connect To
  list box. If you are unsure which port to
  choose, check your printer documentation or
  consult your network manager.
