If you look in your Word Commands folder use "Get Info..." to check the version number of these two files. The latest versions (that I know of) are 5.0.1. They can be ftp'd from a number of anonymous-ftp sites: I think mac.archive.umich.edu is one of these? To quote the ReadMe file's section about the the new grammar checker: ===== The new grammar module fixes problems that sometimes caused Word to quit unexpectedly when running on the Macintosh Plus, SE, Classic, Portable, and PowerBook? 100 models. ===== Worth a try? (And remember to reinstall these if you ever need to reinstall Word 5) Mike B-)
