When I bought Microsoft Word, it came with a DA called Word Finder, which could only be used with Microsoft Word. Now that DAs have turned into applications, it gives me a message, "This can only be used as a DA. For a full version, spend $$s." (Something like that, anyhow.) Is there any way to get around this problem? -- Dan Katz 1(708)491-8887 Dept. of Electrical Engineering +---------------- Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, 60208 |dsk@eecs.nwu.edu

To do this, open Word in Font DA Mover (to open anything but suitcases/System, you have to hold down OPTION while hitting the Open button), open the Word Finder suitcase, and copy it across. I haven't tried running Font DA mover under 7, but I did this previously, and it still works. This may work for other DAs not happy with the new regime (I haven't tried any). Maybe there's life in Font DA Mover for a while yet... -- Philip Machanick philip@pescadero.stanford.edu

Install the WordFinder DA directly into Microsoft Word. Now WordFinder shows up in the apple menu when you run Word and it works fine. Alternatively I believe you can use Suitcase to open the WF DA and then open it while holding down the option key while in Word. -- Steve Martin USENET: {ctvax,im4u,texsun,rice}!ti-csl!martin The opinions in this ARPANET: SMARTIN@CSC.TI.COM COMPUSERVE: 72727,1471 article are my own.
