hello everyone, thank you all for your tips for working with word X. now i am doing my work in os 10.2.8 and i have a new difficulty. i use eudora 6.1 as my mail application and it installed into os x properly except it doesn't recognize the domain name of my server (a cable connection). all the settings are the same as the ones in the 0s 9.2.2 what could the problem be? my browers all work properly. thank you again. hec hecowan at shaw.ca
