Deron,
Here's what I've found so far:


Hooray! It prints! Every time. Wow!

1.) Still have trouble with the frame of the active document window overriding
the top toolbar.

2.) When I resize the same siad window the remains of the original bottom of the
window stay on the screen. A
rapid scroll-up then scroll-down clears the screen.

3.) Type in some text, couple of lines worth. Block define it then ^C to capture
it. Move cursor to new line. ^V to copy it.
Move cursor to new line ^V no copy. Guess we can't rubber stamp.

4.) But I can do another ^C, with nothing selected, then another ^V and the
previous selected text then gets pasted.

5.) Down inside the Spell checker checking words. Died. Don't having anything
specific. Crashed out of the app.

6.) Open a blank document. Setup for 40 pages of linked text blocks. Import text
to it.
Go to end of current text which is far less than 40 pages.
Say delete page from pulldown menu.
Leave starting value and put in the word 'end" for an ending value (like
in PGS2)
End result is that 20 pages are added inside the document starting from
page 2.
Go to new page 2 (all the new pages have no text columns on them)
Delete pages 2 through 20 works fine.

7.) Working in text files. Tabs. still not correct or right. Go to a line such
as this one and try and tab the start of line
word at right of tab moves backwards to previous line. Hit ENTER. Variable
results. Sometimes I get an extra
line, sometimes the word moves back to where it was to start.
Hit tab again, it now works as it should and the whole line moves over 1
tab stop.

8.) Try tab setup for a Table of contents.
Go into pull-down tab selection.
Set a tab at 5.5" with a "dot" for filler
Say apply, nothing there.

9.) Sometimes it is VERY difficult to see the character insertion cursor when it
resides at the left-hand side of the page.

10.) When I open the Go To Page window the cursor doesn't default to anything. I
have to manually insert it into the
field for the page number.

11.) For text already inserted. I block define a a word then click on the "B" in
the text applicator at the bottom of the
screen, nothing happens except the idicator seems to think that "BOLD"
is now set as it is depressed.
Scroll into the font selection and select BOLD font type and this works.

12.) Some lines of text cannot be entered into using the cursor key. I must take
the cursor from the start of the line
where it is residing and manually move it to the right with the
right-arrow key.

13.) There appears to be no way to setup a master page.

BME
I opened a .jpg image, then decided to quit out using the upper right-hand "X"
for the program. the SAVE window that opened had garbage around the name of the
file.


Sincerely,
Ralph Hayford

For some reason, the windows looses focus after you paste the text. If you
click back on the window after you paste, you can paste again.

I don't understand? Are you entering a TAB at the start of a line which is
not the start of a paragraph?

I assuming you selected Type->Tabs, then created a tab at 5.5", and then
entered a . in for fill and then apply (or even ok). It worked for me.

I even just created a Table of Contents, and I could modify it also.

>11.) For text already inserted. I block define a a word then click on the

Fixed.

Could you explain this better? If you can't enter into using the cursor
key, why would the right arrow (a cursor key) work for you?

>13.) There appears to be no way to setup a master page.

Choose Layout->Master Page Setup. What appears to be the problem?
