The dialog box in the MS Word ver 6 program I am using doesn't give me 
that option. This is the problem. Perhaps I need to install it from 
somewhere??/ Any idea how I go about doing this?

Also could Marc Fuller or someone tell me where I might obtain the free 
translator to convert Mac 6.0 to Mac 5.1?

Thanks,
