Dear John, I only run the Mac versions of Microsoft's Outlook Express (email) & Internet Explorer. Don't mess with any "real" Microsoft programs. I do have the Mac version of Office 98 on my 6500, but don't use it much. I don't have the OS 9 helper, but since I have the newer Mac sitting in the other room (which I haven't bothered to use yet) with OS 10.3 on it & the 2004 version of Office, I guess I don't need to try to install it anyway. I'm glad it is working for you, though. It just wouldn't let me install it on my 6500. What is the "advantage to the 9.2.2 over just the 9.1? Just curious as some Mac techs had just sort of played it down as not worth the bother. Ginny
