Hi Keith,

You were right about the space, but I'm afraid the limit is the old DOS format 
of an 8 character maximum file name and three character extension.

I'm afraid this is a DBT limitation, which in turn is a throwback from trying 
to keep the software as far backward compatible as possible.

This should not be a problem in 10.5.

George Bell.

Subject: [duxuser] Getting the SWIFTER Shortcut to work

Hi,

I am having trouble getting the SWIFTER shortcut to work.  I am using Duxbury 
10.4 on Win98.  Which version of SWIFT do I need?  The version of Office is 97. 
 Does the version of Word matter?  I can get the pull down menu to pop up, but 
it keeps saying that it can not find or load my.  I think it is saying my is 
because it is running into a space in the folder name c:\my documents.

I know I have changed the default folder for Duxbury to save files in other 
folders, but I don't see where to do it now.  I changed Word's default folder 
to C:\mydocuments with no space in the folder name.  Is there a better way of 
doing this?

Thank you,

Keith
