Problem:  MacWrite 5.0 spellcheck running on LC eats my documents

I bought Claris MacWrite 5.01 to use when I have only a handful
of memory available (its a nice small program).  The spell check 
worked well on my SE/30, but now that I have gotten an LC, when
I select Check Document, it selects all the text and deletes it.

I tried this on my father's LC and it did the same thing.  The 
obvious thing is to Upgrade to MacWrite II, but this program is
4 x larger than MacWrite 5.0 and I've heard people say that the
spell checker on it also has problems.

Anybody have any ideas?  Anybody have an Email address for Claris?

Thanks,
