[QUOTE="cowbrain, post: 901256, member: 95559"] Thanks for reply Collin Bl. You could be right. I found that [I]Word[/I] was red-flagged in [I]Activity Monitor[/I]. It had failed to open but had not closed and was using 99% of CPU activity!! I [I]force quit[/I]ted it - and now I have [I]Word [/I]back and fully functioning. I decided to try it with Safari again (to make sure it wasn't a one-off freak occurence). I tried to open a text attachment that had come in with an e-mail. Word logo (W) bounced in the dock - spinning disc icon - then error message. In activity monitor: Word was red-flagged and using 99% of CPU again. Another[I] force-quit[/I] and everything back to normal. There is definitely some conflict here between Safari and Microsoft Word. My (simple/cowardly/efficient) solution is to go back to Firefox. Problem solved. Cheers, CB [/QUOTE]
