The WORD60A.EXE file you just downloaded and expanded contains the 
Microsoft Word version 6.0a for Windows upgrade patch. This upgrade
can be used ONLY with the U.S. version of Word 6.0 for Windows on 
a stand-alone installation. 

CAUTIONS
========

Do not attempt to use the patch for either a workstation or server 
network installation. Please call the Microsoft Consumer Sales and 
Information Center at (800) 426-9400 and request a full set of upgrade 
disks if you want to perform an upgrade on a network installation.

Do not attempt to use this patch to upgrade ANY international version 
of Word for Windows, including the English/British or English/Australian 
version. We will post new information in the MSWORD forum News Flash 
as upgrade patches become available for these versions.

INSTRUCTIONS
============

To upgrade your U.S. version of Word for Windows using the patch, follow 
these steps:

1. Create an empty directory on your hard drive (for example C:\6PATCH).

2. Copy the files SETUP.BAT and _MSETUP.EX_, expanded from WORD60A.EXE,
   to the empty directory.

3. Run SETUP.BAT by double-clicking it in File Manager, or by doing the
   following:

   a. In the Windows Program Manager window, choose Run from the File menu.
   b. In the Command Line box, type "<path>\setup" (without the quotation 
      marks) where <path> is the location of the temporary directory you
      created in step 1 above. For example, type "c:\6patch\setup". 
   c. Choose OK.

   This will expand the Word 6.0a patch files to your temporary 
   directory. 

   Note: Running SETUP.BAT does not perform the upgrade. It simply 
   prepares for the upgrade by creating two subdirectories, HELP 
   and REG, then expanding the files required to perform the upgrade.

4. Open UPGRADE.DOC in Word 6.0 and read the instructions before 
   performing the actual upgrade procedure. Also, consider printing 
   a copy of UPGRADE.DOC to refer to during the upgrade procedure. 
   UPGRADE.DOC contains troubleshooting procedures you may need to 
   use if you encounter any difficulties performing the upgrade.

5. Perform the upgrade procedure as specified in UPGRADE.DOC.

6. After you successfully upgrade to Word 6.0a, you can delete the 
   temporary patch directory, created in step 1, and its contents.
