Hi Germaine, Try using Norton Fast Find to locate any documents or alias' by that name and trash them. Use TechTool Pro (or Norton) to wipe the trash; wipe Free Space?? Before you do anything drastic. . . you may be able to trash your Word Translatorfiles and use Custom Install on a CD to re-install a new set. I was able to do that with A/W 5 after the MacLink Plus 12 installer did what it is now reknown for; it emptied my Claris Translators Folder (in Sys. Fol.) completely.
