Kynan - you are correct.  The Alsoft site does indeed clearly say (I 
had not looked) that a fix is needed for Panther which will be coming 
shortly.  I should have checked at Alsoft before posting...     :-(

At major upgrades, there is always a lag period before updates and 
fixes and patches are issued for 3rd party software.  If I had found 
significant problems with the transition to Panther, I would have 
just changed back to Jaguar, and waited for some time.  But 
everything seemed to work so well.  DiskWarrior is the only software 
that has an issue so far, apart from that strange file name behaviour 
with Word.  I have nver seen it before in all my years, so I am sure 
it is some incompatibility issue.

My internet connection is so slow here in Saudi Arabia that I donot 
really have the luxury of easily checking out all the issues on the 
web, as I used to do.  Maybe M$T have already posted something about 
this behaviour of Word.  I will check specifically.
