<div>Hi Keith, <br>
<br>
Before you do the complicated stuff, do the simple ones:<br>
Do what Aranzazu is suggesting.<br>
<br>
Here is how to do it:<br>
Before launching Appleworks<br>
- Go to your "Library" folder, <br>
- then to the "Preferences" folder, <br>
- find the Appleworks prefs which should be called something like "com.appleworks.plist"<br>
- trash them<br>
<br>
You have 2 "Libray" folders, one on your hardrive, the other one under
your user name (little house icon), find in which folder the prefs
are. Do a search for "Appleworks", to make sure you delete the
right one.<br>
<br>
Good luck and let us know. <br>
Carole<br>
