Using COPY crashes Word 98.

[Recoil Rob]

Using an iMac 266hz, OS9.2.2. 320MgRam.

I ahev installed MS Office 98 for Mac.

I can open a .doc with Word but as soon as I use "Command C" to copy
something from the .doc, the " WORD has unexpectedly quit" message
appears and I have to restart before I can use it agian.

any ideas?


Thanks, Rob

Very likely a corrupted prefs file....to test:

"Procedure: Quit Word and navigate to your Word Settings file as follows: 

Word 98: System folder> Preferences> Word Settings (8)

Drag the Settings file to your desktop and reopen Word.  A new Settings file
will have been created.

If your problem is fixed and all is well, trash the corrupt file and reset
your Preferences and AutoCorrect settings as desired.  If not, close Word
again, drag the original file back to its original location and replace the
new Settings file that was created.  You will not have to redo any of your
settings."
