Re: Word crashes

Hello Mike -

Since you don't specifically say that you did so, just installing the update
*isn't* enough. You also need to run Disk Utility - Repair Disk Permissions
& restart your Mac.

If you continue to have the problem follow the additional instructions in
the order they are provided here:

Then if necessary, here:

Thanks for your input John.

I did download the 10.1.9 update and installed it as you suggested but
unfortunately Word still crashes :-( As does PowerPoint by the way...

Fortunately Excel and Entourage are doing fine (for now)

I think one of the Apple downloads must have affected Word... hopefully there
will be a patch soon !

Regards !
Mike

Missing service packs, in your case.

Word X needs an update to run in Tiger.

Go to the Microsoft website, download the 10.1.9 update and run it. Then
repair permissions.

Hopefully that will sort it out.

Cheers
