how to stop Word looking for old file servers

I moved all my user files from an aging file server to a new one and now Word
keeps looking for the old server when the doc files are accessed. Offline
files were turned off for the clients with laptops before the old file server
went offline. Anyone have a solution on how to stop this?

I have presumed that you changed the default File Locations settings in Word
on al the workstations? If so, the simplest solution is to add a Redirect
Command at the server. Ask in one of the Server Newsgroups if you need info
on the REDIR command.
