==================
Do not know if this can help but...I had this problem with WS 5.5 when I 
went into the page preview feature.  Computer would hang up and the only 
way I could get out was to reboot.  Wordstar Technical Service was helpful
Apparently the problem was in the DOS version.  Changing the "stacks" to a
much higher number solved the problem.  I am not at my office now so I cannot
look up the stacks and buffers numbers but if you are interested, email me
direct and I will get the detailed info.  BTY, WS 5.5 is great in that the 
page preview feature is much b etter than in earlier versions and any other 
program I have seen.  I think it is worth the upgrade, if you are a 
Wordstar type of person.
