Solche extensiven Crosspostings sind natuerlich nicht so die besonders
feine Art. FIDO, Microsoft- und Novell-Gruppen (das sind 3) in diesem
Fall o.K., aber comp.os.netware.misc + comp.os.netware.connectivity
sind z.B. sehr unfreundlich. Dann braucht man auch keine Untergruppen
einzufuehren.
Zum Problem: Ich haette keine direkte Loesung anzubieten, aber die
Microsoft-programme (Word 6.0a auf alle Faelle) verstehen haeufig auch
UNC-Namen (also //<server>/<volume>/<Pfad>/<Daten>). Waere sowieso
die sauberere Loesung, um endlich einmal von den idiotischen
Laufwerksbuchstaben wegzukommen.
Ansonsten waere ein Upgrade auf Winword 6.0c wirklich dringend
zu empfehlen. Beseitigt von Natur aus schon eine ganze Reihe
von Fehlern.

Appendix: International readers please excuse. This extensively 
crossposted article was published in a german group too. And in
this group we answer in german.
