[...tried to post this once before but I don't think it worked. Sorry for any duplication....] Hello, net. I haven't seen much talk about ProWrite version 3.0.1, a fact which surprises me since previous releases seemed to generate lots of comments and because there seem to be quite a few problems with it. Is it just me or are others having problems similar to these: * Cancelled printing often locks up the program. * Space after paragraphs should cause a blank line after the last line of a paragraph. Instead it causes a blank line before the last line of a paragraph. This happens when using the printer's fonts (I dont generally use printed screen fonts). * If you select "no gaps between pages" and top and bottom margins of 0.00 to print 66 lines on a page (this is using the printer's fonts again) the top 3 lines on the page over-strike one another. * The program doesn't properly advance to the end of the page. * "Phantom text" sometimes appears which duplicates real text but cannot be edited. It screws up page layouts until it mysteriously disappears later. 3.0.1 seems to be quite a bit slower in text entry and cursor movements. I've had to drop back to version 2.5 for anything I want to work right. Have others had these problems? _____ | Todd M.
