Greetings - I am using MacWrite 4.5 and have encountered something very
strange.  Two of my students have produced small documents (2 or 3 pages)
that they couldn't edit because when the document was opened, MacWrite
would sit there and flash the screen - leaving the Mac locked up and
requiring a reboot to continue.

Has anyone else seen this?  Copying the document to another disk works just
fine but the copied file exhibits the same behaviour.  Prior to the
problem, both students report that they had saved the document to their
disks with everything seeming normal but when they tried to edit it
the next day, the flashing behaviour began.  Comments (particularly of a
curative nature) will be most gratefully received.  Please email replies -
I will post a solution if any is produced.  Thanks in advance...


Cheers...
