I am running 10.4.4. I will try the other troubleshooting steps and see
if there's any improvement. I actually don't restart my iBook very
often, usually just putting it to sleep overnight, so the problem
doesn't crop up very often.
As to your second point, I think I misspoke originally -- what I do is
drag the document icon from a Finder window down to the Dock, where it
replicates itself. I don't make an alias first and then put that in the
Dock. I got a bit fast and loose with my terminology, being a newly
returned Mac user from the pre-Dock era (the last Mac OS I used was 7.6,
I think, on my Powerbook 1400cs).
Thanks for the reply and suggestions,
Julia
