Appleworks "unexpectedly quit" - no kidding!

[Janet Hoch]

Appleworks has been quitting for no apparent reason, usually in the Word Processing program. Also, it always quits when I try to run the spellchecking feature or dictionary. The error I receive is always "Appleworks has unexpectedly quit". That's all; no further info or explanation. Any suggestions?

What version of Mac OS and AppleWorks are you using?

From your previous message I note you're using AW 6.0.2. Apple have advised that any version prior to AW 6.2.1 will behave erratically in Mac OS X. If you're using Mac OS X you should update your AW 6.0.2 to avoid problems like crashing, etc.

Janet:

Another suggestion....It's possible that the PREFERENCES file has been corrupted. Close AW. Go to your Home Folder - Library - Preferences and find the folder labeled AW.plist Trash it. Restart AW and it will build a new folder. That may solve your problem. I also agree that an upgrade would be a super idea!

Please let me know how you make out.
