I have so many dictionary entries that not merging would mean the loss of a 
huge amount of work. It's true that at least one of the most experienced FS 
tech support staff advises against merging, which may have caused problems for 
me with a long-ago upgrade. However, merge has worked nicely for me the past 
few versions.

I suggest this. If you install a new version and experience problems that might 
be attributable to a merge, simply uninstall and start again. After all, it 
doesn't take long.

That's just ducky! The last time I took a problem to tech support, he asked if 
I had had the problem with Jaws 8. After I told him no, he asked if I had run 
merge. I said that I had heard it was better to keep a "clean" install. He said 
something like he had never heard that and instructed me to do the merge. The 
problem went away.

I say this not to refute you, Gary, but have to wonder what the truth is.

Katherine,

I wouldn't use the Merge feature under any circumstances. One of the questions 
FS tech support asked me when I was having a problem with JFW was, "Did you use 
Merge? My answer was that I never use Merge because of problems it has caused 
other users in the past.

When I install the quela version, do I use the merge feature when I install a 
higher version such as version 6.2 or higher?
