Incompatibility Between ClarisWorks 5.0 and Spell Catcher 1.5.8 From Casady & Greene

There is a screen refresh issue with ClarisWorks 5.0 and Spell Catcher 1.5.8 from Casady & Greene when doing spell checking.

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.

After you have done a spell check in ClarisWorks 5.0 using Spell Catcher from Casady & Greene you will be returned to your ClarisWorks document and the spelling changes will be accomplished if any errors were detected; however, you will notice that your cursor is gone and clicking into the document does not display the cursor.

Solution:
To refresh the screen so that the cursor reappears and you can select words by clicking your mouse you need to switch to the finder or another running application and then back to your ClarisWorks document to get normal control over your document.
