Wow. Thank you you so much to everyone who gave me the head's up on MicrosoftWord v6.0.1 You surely saved me much grief! And to "zhmmy harper", actually I do have Corel Word 3.5e. I was able to download it from tucows when it was discontinued. I didn't know Corel was still offering it - and yes, I like it fine. I really don't do much word processing, I'm a graphics artist, and enjoy its simplicity and lack of bloat. Hmmm...would it be legal to donate the MSWord to Goodwill? I guess besides the legal question, it might be more of an ethical crime, if some unsuspecting Mac user were to buy it. margaret
