I have a quick question about the new maintenance release of Wordperfect.
When you select print control and you have wp set up for a custom screen, the
print control requestor pops up in the workbench screen and not the custom
screen. This behaviour is very annoying. Did I do anything wrong in installing
wp or is this a feature/bug.
This is the only problem I've had so far, otherwise I'm impressed with the
update.
Thanks in advance.
Have a nice day.
Tim Desjardins.

Since the Print rpogram is separate it probably doesn't look at the defaults you setup when you installed WordPerfect. > This is the only problem I've had so far, otherwise I'm impressed with the > update. Try starting the print program from the Workbench, then putting more than one job in the print queue at a time. When I try it the current copy number changes to "1 of 16" and the binding width gets clobbered. Has anybody else seen that? I would guess it does the same thing if you select the print menu from WordPerfect, but I haven't tried it yet. Has anyone tried using the Star NX-1000 printer driver to print Print:Printer.Tst? I get several "printer trouble" requesters before reaching the section on underline styles. Then, instead of the underlining, I get about three garbage characters, a form feed, 3 more garbage characters, etc. I stopped after five pages, so I don't know how long that goes on. In version 4.1.9 I had a problem if I printed the current document from the WordPerfect print menu. After I shut down the WP disk icon wouldn't go away. Version 4.1.11 seems to have corrected this, but now I have a similar problem when I print from the Print: disk. The disk icon for the documents I printed won't go away. It looks like the print program is failing to Unlock something. --Fabbian Dufoe 350 Ling-A-Mor Terrace South St. Petersburg, Florida 33705 813-823-2350 UUCP: ...uunet!pdn!jc3b21!fgd3

Up till the new release, WP always ran on the WorkBench screen. Now you can run it on its own custom screen, as you've discovered. However all of WPCorp's other Amiga products can use the PRINT program so when invoked, PRINT opens up on the WB screen. Suppose you were printing from WP, and then decided to run P-Edit or CAL or NB and print from them but you wanted to close WordPerfect? Well if PRINT's window was on WP's screen horrible things might happen. So PRINT lives on the WorkBench screen when it's running so that the other WP products can use it at the same time, and after using it, any of them can be shut down without causing fireworks. > >Have a nice day.

It happened to me, too, so I assume Wordperfect been programmed to do that. I'm impressed with the update but disappointed as well in that I still have to execute a script to turn off the auto-activate feature of DMouse... // /// CIS: 73200,3117 \X/oel ///urray Usenet: a23@mindlink.UUCP

It happens from both the print utility and from WP.
