Leonard, For me it happens sporadically. Sometimes I get the yellow error alert on Quitting with only a single page layout in use. Other times just running and quitting the program with no page defined but a blank will bring up the yellow alert. These yellow recoverable alerts never really recover. I follow the instruction, click the mouse button, the screen flashes and returns again and again, finally it does go away but the red alert replaces it. Other times I can have a multi-page spread loaded, finish up and save it, and quit without no problem, then the next time I load the same file and quit I'll get the yellow/red alerts. I have come to an understanding with PPage 3.0, always save ALL work from ALL programs in use before QUITting PPage, and be ready to reboot after using it. Like I said before, Gold Disk is aware there is a bug that occurs on QUIT. They can't find it I was told. But now it seems to find out if it has been fixed I must again pay $75 for an update. <sigh> Usually when a bug is reported, the user at least gets a maintenence upgrade when the fix is made. If the program is updated by a newer version some concessions should be considered by the company. I have a B2000 rev 4.3 motherboard, WB 2.04 and now WB 2.1, ECS chipset, MegaChip board, 2MB chip memory 4MB 16bit memory, 4MB 32 bit memory, 68030 33MHz GVP 3001 accelerator, Series II controller with a 100MB Conners CP-3100 internal, two Syquest 44MB internal/external, Wangtek 5150ES, Seagate 80MB external, and PRIAM ST-506 100MB 5.25 full-height on KRONOS host/controller. SCSI laser printer and scanner on KRONOS. I use AMAXII 2.51 with cartridge, MAC external floppy and use the Seagate and the two Syquests. Chris
