LOSING CUSTOM PROPS

LOSING CUSTOM PROPS

LOSING CUSTOM PROPS

(OP)
hello,

I've loaded sw2001 sp0 at home (per license agreement). When I take work home I'm losing custom props on some parts (not all). The text of the link is still in the prop box example: $PRP: "SW-Current Sheet" OF $PRP: "SW-Total Sheets" this text is still there, but it's like it's not reading it because the link $PRP: "SW-Current Sheet" OF $PRP: "SW-Total Sheets"  shows up instead of "sheet 1 of 1".
I've eliminated the cd because I brought it back to work & copied it into a new directory to try it & it works.

at work: nt 4.0
sw2001 sp14
office 2000

at home I've got:
xp pro
sw2001 sp0
office 97 sr2

would it be because I only have sp0 loaded ( I found our copies of service packs & will load them tonight), or windows xp, or office 97? or a combination?
Thank You

RE: LOSING CUSTOM PROPS

XP is not fully supported until SP5 and higher.

Also are you using the same drawing templates at home and work?

has anyone else run into this before?

thanks
