Computer would hang up and the only way I could get out was to reboot. Wordstar Technical Service was helpful Apparently the problem was in the DOS version. Changing the "stacks" to a much higher number solved the problem. I am not at my office now so I cannot look up the stacks and buffers numbers but if you are interested, email me direct and I will get the detailed info. BTY, WS 5.5 is great in that the page preview feature is much b etter than in earlier versions and any other program I have seen. I think it is worth the upgrade, if you are a Wordstar type of person. James Coggins
