Craig I have the new system software installed using an Init that allows the
startupscreen to be my desktop pattern, and I have had no problems with any
software that I have used including Word. It sounds like one of 2 things:
1. your Copy of Word is bad.
2. YOur system file(s) are corrupted in some way, replace them and start over.

This is on a 512k Mac with a 20 meg Micah DriveAT installed..new stuff works
fine....
