Hi Roberta,

Not quite sure what you mean by "turned off cite while you write." You
should definitely NOT have instant formatting enabled. However, to prevent
crashes you may need to remove the EndNote add-in from the startup menu
entirely, EN is known to cause glitches.

I didn't think EN 7 (which runs in OS X) was compatible with Word 2001
(which runs under Classic)? How are you making that happen? That may be
causing your problems.

Or have you misstated the versions?

You are doing the versions yourself through Save As, right? (Do not use
Word's versions feature).

For directions on removing the add-in and other troubleshooting, see here:

(hit refresh a few times in Safari, or use a different browser)
Also also check this link for some OS X maintenance tips:

Note that crashing problems would be better directed to Mac-specific
newsgroups
