Well if it wouldn't make it crash... I might prefer it took up some of my vertical screen space (fewer lines per page) rather than taking up some of my horizontal space (fewer words per line) But Not so much as to be worth frequent crashes... Besides relocating it isn't the problem. I just want the keyboard shortcuts to work right and especially to be able to dismiss the durned thing with the keyboard, when I'm done spellchecking... But thanks for the suggestion. -- | ^^^ ^^^ | <o> <o> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | ___ <<jtw...@ttlc.net>> <sigh>
