Hi again, I tried that (as someone else mentioned, that isn't the optimale solution... I'd like it to "know" which OS I'm using an open in the appropriate Word version... but anyway) I changed 'Open With Application' to the OS 9 version of Word for all .doc and .rtf files, but when I booted back into OS 9 and double-clicked a Word file, I got that same message: "To use Microsoft Word your computer must be running MacOS X 10.1 or later." I'm guessing that all I've succeeding in doing is changing it so that in OS X, double-clicking a Word file will launch Classic mode. :P I guess my only option left is ResEdit? Any idea as to how to go about it? (And I know someone else said that they think I should ditch one or the other version, but I do not want to do that, at least not yet.)
