I am having some problems getting Word 4.0 to work on a IIfx that I recently acquired. Whenever I try and open the application or a file for Word, I get the message "Word 4.0 has unexpectedly quit." I've adjusted the memory size several times and rebooted after each, but haven't been able to get it to work. The IIfx has 4MB RAM and is running 6.0.5. So far, all the other apps that I have (Excel 2.2, 4th Dimension, PowerPoint, Hypercard) work. Any hints or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. You can mail them to me at aclin@dtoa1.dt.navy.mil. Thanks in advance. Charissa Aclin

However, I just rebuilt the desktop on the drive MS Word was on and everything worked fine after that.

Your "Word 4.0 has unexpectedly quit" message and its associated system error is probably caused by an interaction between one of your inits and Word 4.0. Try removing all of your inits and see if the problem goes away. Then reinstall them one at a time to determine which one is causing the problem.

According to the 6/12 MacWeek, Microsoft has released Word 4.0B, available free to registered owners. It enables Fractional Widths for ImageWriters (good for ATM users) and "improves compatibility with the Mac IIci" and probably the IIfx. Call (206) 882-8088. - Walt
