most likely, it would seem that the permissions on your OS 9 applications folder (or where ever you have Office 2001 installed) have become goobered. relax; it happens. if you're running OS X 10.1, download the Repair Permissions Utility from Apple's website and run it. if you're running OS X 10.2, boot to the OS X Jaguar CD and choose "Open Disk Utility" from the Installer Menu. You'll find an option for Repair Permissions in there. If that still doesn't fix the problem... just boot into OS 9 and trash it. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
