I can't use the MS word as an output device as an error message 'unable to launch microsoft word' appear upon activation. I am using Caesar II vers 4.30, MS word 2000. What can be the reason?

There are several items to check to resolve this issue:

1) Ensure you are running the 010703 build of Version 4.30. We made some adjustments to the WORD interface after the initial 4.30 release. If you don't have this build, you can download it from this web site .

2) Ensure that if you are running anti-virus software, you do not disable scripting (such as Norton Anti-Virus does). This will prevent CAESAR II from launching WORD.

Thank you Ray.
It was Norton anti-virus script blocking setting.
