If I recall correctly, that version of Office contain Word 6.x, which has a known incompatibility with modern OS's (e.g. it don't work). If you are running 9.x or above, you will have to upgrade to Office 98 or 2001. Other than that issue, I can't think of any reason why this would behave this way. -- John McKay (former field medic, A-1/506th ABN INF "Currahees," 101st ABN DIV) Military Historian - Social Studies (secondary) Teacher -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
