Yesterday, after working for several hours, I tried to type something and
Freehand 11.0 crashed. Not unheard of, so I relaunched the program. Crashed
again. And again and again and again. I tried a different file - crash. Every
time I try to use the type tool the program crashes. I restarted the computer.
I turned the computer off and let it sit for a while. Still crashing.

(Font is my usual default Helvetica. I don't think that's the problem.)

My next step is to reinstall the software. But I don't know if I need to
uninstall it or just trash it? One of my coworkers suggested trashing the
preferences, but I can't find them! Any thoughts?

Using OS X 10.5.4

I appreciate any help. Thank you!
