A couple of bugs appear to be in Microsoft Word, tho' they are not severe:
1. If you delete a selected area with the DEL key and then start typing
right away, the selected area block winds up a dozen or so characters
to the right of where it should be. Doing almost anything puts it
back where it belongs.
2. When printing on an MX-80 retrofitted with Graftrax Plus (and, I
assume, a new MX-80 or -100 with the built-in Graftrax Plus),
printing something sub/super-scripted puts the printer in double-strike
mode and leaves it there (they used an ESC T to end the mode, they
should have used an ESC H, I think). Adding the ESC H in the text,
after the sub/super-scripted text works fine (hold ALT down while
pressing 2 7 on the keypad, release ALT, type H).
Some comments on the program:
I like it. There's a lot to go at, and the manual is a bit confusing on
the advanced features, but the stuff I've used so far works well and
cleanly. The mouse interface works well indeed. On the wishlist
already, though, are: use of pop-up menus with the mouse, a command to
give a word count, and better documentation of how the capabilities
of the various supported printers are used.
