I upgraded the day it was released, and haven't noticed any difference at all. Works just fine.

That sounds like it might be the “off the screen” window bug. A quick test is to rename your PageStream5.ini file and see if the problem goes away (though that will also remove your registration, etc.). If it works restore the old ini file. I don’t recall off the top of my head which line(s) have to be removed to correct the issue, but it is documented in the list archives.

Yes, I also think it's that Windows bug (again) in PageStream.

You have to find that 'PageStream5.ini' file yourself, because I didn't
had the time to install my 'free upgrade Windows 10'.

You have to make some changes on Windows 10 though, before you look for
'PageStream5.ini', show hidden files:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=windows-7
(because otherwise you won't find 'PageStream5.ini')

Also take a look at this page:
http://www.pagestream.org/?action=Documents&id=82 (the comment too ).

Hope I remember to check this email for a response on this....

I have  been using PageStream to "Copy/Paste" the lyrics to songs then put in the Chords... for ages... 1986 or 7!!!.

This feature has worked fine for nearly a year without a problem.  Then, suddenly, this Cut and Paste feature stopped allowing me to do it.  I seem to be able to highlight the desired text wherever it is then move over to the new screen where I have PageStream working.  (I do have two monitors, and they seem to have worked fine for years!)

This worked, that is, until last night.  I booted up PageStream as usual, and set up the page as I usually do to format a song.  Suddenly I could cut what I wanted on the one screen,  but could NOT paste the bugger to the text box as I would normally do. Nothing happened except for a brief flicker of the screen.  Nothing would paste.

After fritter-farting around for half an hour trying various things, I decided to fire up OpenOffice and see if I could Cut and Paste. Yep, worked just fine.  I could Copy the lines I wanted from the screen on my "other" monitor, and then copy it into where I wanted on the other screen running OpenOffice.

Last time I had this problem... a couple of years ago... I ended up re-installing Windows 8 as a new install.  PageStream worked fine after than.  Now, the same problem has cropped up using Windows 10..

Perhaps I inadvertantly hit some key to disable Cut and Paste.  No idea if I did, but I'm clutching at straws....

Any suggestions?  ...cuz I still can't Cut and Paste.

This is what I use PageStream for, mainly.   Last time when I had the problem, I used OpenOffice, but want to use PageStream cuz its a whole lot more intuitive to me..

What did they change it to? I can't find said .ini file and I do have
hidden file set to display. I did fomd a pagestream5.rsc. Is that what
we are talking about here. I upgraded to Windows 10 and now PS doesn't
even try to print 8-/.
TIA

the rsc file is a “resource” file that has strings of text that PageStream uses in the interface. The .ini file is for the configuration (or ‘initialization’) of PgS when it starts. I have no idea or insight into where this file ends up on Windows.

Well I have a new .ini file, but the beast still does not even try to
print. When I click print, the usual formating gas gauge does not
appear, the dialog box just goes away and no print 8-/. What am I
missing or doing wrong? TIA

What has changed since it last printed? Still using the same OS and
Printer? Make sure you have a printer selected in Print Setup (obvious,
but...)

Hi Deron, What changed is I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro. PS worked great
under Windows 8.1 Pro. It was a MS upgrade, not a clean install.

If I'm the Richard you are addressing, I have that info keyed into a
Librecalc spreadsheet. You are correct, copying and pasting is sooo
much easier.

Nope, I have three printers attached and it ignores all of them.
It's being an equal opportunity ignorer .
