Hi, if you are not moving to a new computer that will definitely rock with those 2 apps, maybe the best would be to downgrade your apps to Office 98 and PS 5.5 or less. I have noticed on my Performa 6500/G3/350 that I get a more snappy app usage when I use Dreamweaver 2.0 instead of 3.0; all I miss presently is the possibility of saving the format of a text when I copy paste in DW 2 from Word or another text editor. But I can use other apps (such as Adobe Page Mill, or maybe BBEdit) for that purpose. Moreover, that saves RAM. Thierry -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
