SO6 has not crashed on loading windoze doc files (File ... Open) for me but it does crash when using the spell checker (not every time, just sometimes).
My system is a clean install of 8.2 with office 6.0 (no upgrades anywhere since I've only been up and running since April 23rd). I tried emailing a word document but my email is via a citrix server and I haven't figured out how to get it to open documents on my pc (the linux one) since it gives me no options and automatically uses what's on the server (Word). My only other complain is the page preview ... I dare you to get out of it if you're not printing. I hate to say it but if I don't have the luxury of time, it's Word for me.

Is anyone else using SO6 - not the other flavors - and seeing the same behavior as I am? A friend who just upgraded to 8.2 has SO6 crashing on every doc file he's tried to open by any means so far. Not my experience, but then he did UPGRADE, while I have done clean installs. Maybe it's all to do with some font settings or something. Now if everyone who replies to this can please refrain from saying anything vaguely antagonistic, it really would be nice to hear of some comparable experiences. I paid for this SW. Just because I pay for Windows and expect it to fail doesn't mean I will put up with it from Sun. Oops! Shane you are SUCH a bad influence ;-) Brian On Fri, 2002-05-03 at 09:56, Brian Parish wrote: > Just a quick note on SO6.
