I just tried this.

Doing this just changes the focus to Word -- but no do***ent (not even
a blank do***ent) opens.

a number of people on macfixit.com are re****ting the same issue with no
obvious fix.

Yet, I have another admin here who is *not* seeing the problem (like
the MVPs apparently aren't...)   Those of us who are seeing the problem
are not running the same "load" of 10.5.2 -- we're all different.

And, I did *not* see this on my 10.4.11-running G5 that I just
auto-updated.   That worked as expected.


Are you MVPs who are not seeing the problem running under 10.4 or 10.5?
