Thanks Barry. I have lots of Appleworks programs installed.... not sure why. The one that seems to be controlling everything is Appleworks Dansk... If I delete all the non English programs, then nothing will open when I click on document icons. I get an error. I have a G5 with OSX version 10.4.7. I guess I could live with the problem and just click on the program icon... it's just a pain to find documents that way. On my installation disk, it doesn't seem to have the appleworks program, just something called appleworks languages.... which is probably why I have all these languages????? very frustrated.
