OK guys, here we go again... Since yesterday, we have even more problems with the new WordPerfect release. Sometimes, when scrolling up or down one can receive a blank screen with strange codes written on it. This hangs the system completely and one must do a cold boot to get running again. WPCorp says that if you get these problems, try starting WordPerfect with the script "wp /nc/nk". This, coupled with the option for no memory expansion, gives WPCorp the award for the longest start-up command. I'm going back to WP 5.0! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Neill Kernohan ------------ rpbozac@crocus.waterloo.edu 513 Glendene Cres ---------- Waterloo, ON -------- Don't accept candy from

1. If you have a "non standard" tab formatting code in your document,
which you try to delete, WP dutifully asks you if you really want to
delete the code. It displays the code at the bottom of the screen in the form:
Delete [...mumble...]? N (Y) (or something like that)
If "mumble" is large (i.e. larger than the width of the screen), the
screen scrolls. Regardless of whether or not you delete the code, the
screen is messed up. The obvious workaround is the refresh the screen
(Screen/Redraw I think).
2. I found this one last night. I have a 1 page document. No special
codes, full justification (by default). On the screen it looks fine,
viewing it looks fine too. When I printed it (@ 10cpi Courier) on my
NEC P6, some spaces were ommitted (such that phrases like "to whom" came
out "towhom"). When I embedded a code for [Bold PS], the document
printed fine.
