thanx, Jordan.  Unchecking the enhanced dialogs seems to have solved the 
immediate problem.
It looks like I can now save files to the Linux directory also.
I'm not sure how you got to the answer page--when I entered WordPerfect 
12, I was told there were 189 entries!
Do you know if I can save in Word 1997~2003 format without at the same 
time making the program
look and feel like MS Word? I got sort of strange results when I tried 
that. Maybe have to play with it some more.
