<div><font color="#000000"><b>Problem:</b> Since upgrading to Tiger,
AppleWorks quits every time you press a key<br>
<br>
<b>Solution:</b> Check to make sure you don't have the US Extended
keyboard layout enabled. This is a Unicode layout & AppleWorks
can't handle Unicode. Go to System Preferences > International >
Input Menu & uncheck the US Extended keyboard layout. I have found
that I can have it checked in the Input Menu, but I keep it unchecked
under the flag in the menu bar when I am using AppleWorks. This lets
me choose it for text entry into Pages or TextEdit documents. These
programs, and there may be others, do support Unicode.<br>
<br>
Another that does not support Unicode is Word v.X (though it doesn't
quit). The two most common non-Unicode apps used to have Unicode
keyboards grayed out, but in Tiger they are not and give the mistaken
impression that they can be used as intended. (Thanks to Tom Gewecke
for this information.)</font></div>
