Sounds like a possible corruption of the preferences file. Find the
Appleworks preferences file in the Library folder for that user
( assuming he has more than one user defined ). Make a zip of the
preferences file ( just in case ) and then trash the original file
and empty the trash. Restart Appleworks and see if that improves
things. You may have to look for several files in case Appleworks
keeps things like starting points in different prefs files.

Subject: Appleworks problem
My brother is having a problem with his Appleworks program.
He is running it on an eMac with OS 10.3.9. The problem may have
started after he "tried to fix somethings with Norton." This
is the problem: when you launch Appleworks, you get the menus
across the top, a blank toolbar, and no document or starting
points. If you go to choose an item from the menu, you get the
spinning beach ball before you can choose anything. When you go to
the Appleworks icon in the dock, click and hold on it you get
"application not responding" and have to choose Force Quit to end
it. I tried to reinstall it, but the problem remained (before this
install, I removed the file/application from the Application
Folder). I assume that I need to remove some or all of the other
Appleworks program files, not just the Application. How do I do
this? Any other advice in solving this problem would be welcome.
