NEW STRANGE PROBLEMS FROM THE WORLD OF MAC

As if the weird modem and SCSI port questions were not enough, here is
another weird problem.

I have Wordperfect 2.0.4 running on a IIsi (works fine) and Quark (a good
product from a lousy company) running on a IIfx.  I type letters on the IIsi
and save them to the IIfx [running System 7 on both].  My letterheads are
Quark templates so I open them, import the WP file, and print from the
IIfx.

A couple of times I noticed that even though I had spell checked my docs in
WP they printed with errors in Quark.  Here is what happens.  Let us say I
come across a spelling mistake, WP offers a replacement, I double click
the correct word, it is replaced in the document, and when all is checked
and done, I save the file.  When I Get Text in Quark BOTH the incorrect and
the correct word show up and are printed.  eg

This is spalling mistake	

[after spell checking, correcting, saving opens in Quark Express with Get
Text as:]

This is a spellingspalling mistake


I thought Wordperfect was writing both words in the file but when I
reopen the document in Wordperfect I just see the correct sentence.

This is a spelling mistake

What is going on!?  Of course I will call Wordperfect Tech Support,
probably the greatest in the World for any product/industry, and of course
I do not want to spend $25 to just ASK Quark Tech Support [and they keep
the money whether they can solve the problem or not].
