It is plausible that the language element is causing interference. A process called ctfmon.exe is running. It might possibly block an application from receiving an event. See here: http://www.ureader.com/msg/1474135.aspx Ctfmon.exe is not exclusively part of Office XP (Office XP is partly the subject of the link). It is run by the operating system for the text services and the language bar. These services are needed if you use Asian fonts. I run Office 2003, not Office XP. In XP SP3 I have installed Asian language support and have been running (but not using) the language bar. Anyway, I still have issues even when I don't run the word script. Regards, Sheri
