(From "The Masked Rat Fink" "Computing and Informatics Yr4") I have a problem with LDW POWER Spreadsheet and would like to know if any other users have this problem. The version of LDW that I am running is UK Version 1.03 (c) 1988, and I have a 520 STFM w/ 1meg. The problem comes when printing out a spreadsheet (I use 70 line paper instead of the more usual 66 line paper, although it doesn't seem to matter how many lines I tell LDW I have!). During printing LDW inserts about 4 or 5 blank lines in the printout (whether to printer or file) in what seemed a random manner at first, then I noticed that the position of the extra blank lines seemed to be moving up the page each time I printed, until it reached the top and then it would cycle round and start from the bottom again! At the moment to get round it I am printing to a file and then editing it using a text editor to remove the extra lines before printing. Also, I have remembered to clear all the possible things that I could either think of or find in the manual, such as margins etc. Any help here would be appreciated, I remember seeing a number of people talk about LDW and so I hope that someone out there has an answer.

This is a very common little problem with LDW/Lotus. As you go to print, be sure to use the ALIGN command, telling the printer to assume that it is starting at the top of the page. Everything will go fine after that. --- * Via ProDoor 3.1R
