Sense your in the uk it could be something else.. It might be that you have the "american" version, but your keyboard is set to "british". Or it could be your using the US version of macos, and the british version of word. So perhaps changing the keyboard setting. I would think that the us/uk keyboards are the same, or at least close enough that it would still work. Word is VERY picky about the type of keyboard you are using. On a imac, with the "pro" keyboard, it would crash when any of the f keys (and a few others, don't remember which) were pushed. Although it SHOULD be fine, but it still made it crash. The updates helped, but it still had problems. So what i did was de-activate the function key assignments in the keyboard control panel.I suggest you do the same. I think its more of a keyboard(driver?) related problem then just word itself, sense a similar thing has happened to me. thanks, hope it helps Ian (Sidle) -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
