This does sound exactly like what happened to me. >I also tried using edit-->writing tools-->Check Document Spelling - but >this process took me right back to the HD dialog box.

AppleWorks should be in an "Applications" folder on the CD, separate from the OS installer files. Herb Goodfriend -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
