I have recently installed Office 98 on an IMac with OS9.  All the Apps run
fine except Word which quits with a Visual Basic error - Unexpected Critical
Error, Can't start program.

I have trashed the prefs, zapped the pram and reinstalled Office to no
avail.

Anyone know of a solution?

Thanks

Andrew Watts

No, :-), but try uk.comp.sys.mac with the same post, they're usually v.
helpful.

Have you tried installing any of the  patches available from
Microsoft. There are some specifically for OS9 and earlier issues.
