Dick,

Thanks.  I've got the situation under control now; I wound up removing
the packages, then reinstalling them.  :)

How well does the Crossover Office product work for you?  I haven't
considered it very much because it seems unnecessary for the amount of
writing that I do now that absolutely requires Word, but that might
change once I start classes.
