- : hmm.. I have no idea why you encounter this problem, but perhaps try installing

- Ahh, but this will help: Under system 7, if you move the word program out of
- the Word Commands folder onto the desktop it really moves the file. Word
- looks for the tools in the folder that the Word program is in.
-
- The fix: Put Word back into the Word Commands folder, make an alias, and put
- the alias on the desktop.

- Have fun!!
