bad form replying to myself not withstanding..... One of the only reasons I've ever found an AppleWorks updater not to work is detailed in the readme file: > If you previously installed AppleWorks 6 on your computer using the custom >installation option, choosing only the "AppleWorks 6 application" and omitted the >writing tools, re-run the installer, choose Custom Install once again, and choose to >install the writing tools.
