Is anyone else having trouble getting Bitfax to format correctly? I can't seem to get it to produce a single page fax from even a 25-line ASCII file, unless I use the Letter Gothic (rather than the Bitstream Courier) typeface. It also seems not to be able to handle a WP5.1 document particularly well, despite its claims to the contrary. It screws up columns, is unable to deal with underlines or boldface, etc. Anyone know ways around these difficulties, or know of fax software that can *truly* handle WP 5.1? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Email: roger@wet.UUCP | * * alt: rogerd@well | witty remark designed to exhibit intellect goes * * CompuServe: 72730,1010 | here *

I have not had any troubles sending with BitFax S/R but I am now using WinFax that is great. But I guess it has no help for you WP users... -- == Harri Valkama, University of Vaasa, Finland ============================ P.O.

Since I haven't any experience with earlier versions, I can't really say what's new in 3.0, with the exception of the addition of a number of Bitstream fonts bundled with the package (the docs state that this is new). > >Is anyone else having trouble getting Bitfax to format correctly?

(I may have to abandon my resistance to Windows and if I do, Ami Pro seems like a nice word processor.) But 'faxibilty' has to be a consideration in any wp choice I make from here on in. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Email: roger@wet.UUCP | * * alt: rogerd@well | witty remark designed to exhibit intellect goes * * CompuServe: 72730,1010 | here *

No I have not Ami, I use WfW and at least it works great. And also they claim that whatever you can print from Windows goes through WinFax as well. And it helps (a lot) if you have ATM... -- == Harri Valkama, University of Vaasa, Finland ============================ P.O.
