Bruce, My original comments about speeding up Word for Windows still holds. I added SmartDrive and HiMem.SYS to my config.sys files and noticed dramatic improvements in execution and in painting the screen on a 10MHz 286 at work. I finally got my Gateway 2000 20MHz 386 yesterday. WFW zips right along in that environment. I'm convinced that the "optimum" environment for WFW is a 386. Your problem sounds like a setup problem. Try the MS technical support line again. I ocassionally have to wait, but I've never had a problem getting through. My general opinion of WFW is that it is a super program. The hard part about using it is a) having the "right" environment, b) having the correct setup for your full up version of Windows. Once these two things are taken care of (item b) can dramatically affect your results) you shouldn't have a problem.
