Perhaps you should think seriously about upgrading your version of NW to 5.1.3, or even 4.1.6. You may also consider waiting to obtain a copy of the rumoured version 3.47, which apparently has no Word Services at all. Apparently, they are not needed as the built in thesaurus and dictionaries are extremely robust and never cause a crash. Other v3.47 enhancements include smaller memory footprint, and greater cross-platform compatibility, being able to run on nearly every Mac ever made. 3.47 also contains significant bug fixes, particularly as regards the macro language, and contains built-in file translation to M$ Word. hth..
